Ewoks Chief Chirpa and Weechee Card Artwork: These photos show the original artwork for both characters is quite colorful and striking. This Chief Chirpa artwork was put to some use and has shown up on proof cards and even as carded figure samples. This collection of artwork also included the art for the released figures as well that seemed boring in comparison. Though I can't believe I just said that. We're talking original art here, people. Art that was created specifically to package the figures and never meant to be available to the public like this. These are kind of drawn like animation cells because they are painted on a transparent acetate sheet and the black outlines are on a separate transparent sheet that overlays the other one. This separation makes all of the edges seen in the painting nice and crisp. Though I cannot recall now whether or not the backgrounds were done as a separate piece. Each one of these works of art measures about 12" x15".
