Wicket Chess Piece Original Art and Prototypes: Here's a series of pieces from the Star Wars chess set. On the left is a conceptual sketch by John Alvin. The figure was then sculpted in wax and then turned into an artist proof made of bronze. The final piece is pantographed down from a cold cast resin 4up.
