This is the proverbial "Black Sheep" of the family. It's the first to be drawn on a vertical canvas (not really a canvas I just like the word canvas) rather than a horizontal one. Inspired by and dedicated to "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi" off of which this sheep was obviously drawn.
You MAY notice that the colors are not as vibrant as usual. There is an explanation for that. Mostly, I was hoping that this would be such an epically-epic sheep that I would keep it forever!!! So, I drew on paper rather than whiteboard (psst- also, this is only the SECOND sheep to be drawn on paper! Nowaayy) to preserve it. The coloring was done in colored pencil so it is... not vibrant. But this took me a little while, so appreciate it :)
"Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi is a 1983 American space opera film directed by Richard Marquand and written by George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan. It is the third film released in the Star Wars saga, and the sixth and final in terms of internal chronology. It is also the first film to use THX technology.
The film is set some time after Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. Luke Skywalker and members of the Rebel Alliance travel to Tatooine to rescue their friend Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt. Meanwhile, the Galactic Empire is planning to crush the Rebel Alliance with a second Death Star while the Rebel fleet simultaneously prepares to launch a full-scale attack on this new space station. Luke confronts his father, Darth Vader, in a climactic duel before the evil Emperor Palpatine. The film also shows the redemption of Anakin Skywalker, redeemed by his desire to save his son from the Emperor.
The film was released in theaters on May 25, 1983, receiving mostly positive reviews. The film grossed over $475 million worldwide. Several home video and theatrical releases and revisions to the film followed over the next 20 years. It was the last Star Wars film released theatrically until Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace began the prequel trilogy in 1999." (wikipedia)
