Q: The flight suits worn by the characters in the Star Wars
™
films are incredibly detailed. How do you choose which details to
focus on when designing the art for the minifigures?
A:
The design of these pilots was made way before I became a
LEGO
®
Graphic Designer, but I can speak about my general way of
approaching a minifigure. When I design a character, I choose what
makes him/her really special, what defines him/her. The layering
and materials are important on the Rebel Uniforms, and wrinkles,
for example, can be used to show material qualities as well make a
character less orderly or more dynamic. I always bear in mind that
you cannot and don’t need to draw everything like in real life. Think
of looking at reality through a LEGO filter.
Q: How do these minifigures compare to others you’ve designed?
A:
Most of the minifigures we design are only decorated on torso,
head and legs. Decorating on the arms is only reserved for special
minifigures. I designed both main heroes and secondary characters
like Zev Senesca. Compared to the main heroes, these generic
characters are more challenging to design because you have to look
closer to find what differentiates them from the crowd. To be honest,
I prefer working on side characters as they seem plain at first sight
but hold unique stories when I dig deeper.
