Artist of the Week: Doug Chiang

For my artist this week, I chose Doug Chiang. He is the principal concept artist for the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy, among other things. I love doing mechanical and science fiction art, and this guy just has one of the awesomest jobs in the field, in my opinion. To see a closeup of a spaceship you designed get blown up on screen, that's gotta be every designer's wet dream. No really it is.
Doug designed many things in the Star Wars movies, two of which I have shown up above. To my knowledge, he did NOT invent Jar Jar Stinks, Midichlorians or "Now THIS is podracing!" So he gets a pass on that.
