non-sport update magazine cover

so a few months ago, i was asked if i wanted to do the art for the Star Wars varient cover  for Non-Sport Update Magazine. (http://www.nonsportupdate.com/ a magazine about non-sport trading card collecting)

this star wars varient is a charity issue, with $1 from every purchase going to the Pediatric Oncology Treasure Chest Foundation (a charity that buys toys for children with cancer). 

you can pre-order the issue here:
