Hey there, I’m Animator Ben, a lifelong Star Wars fan and artist. I’ve been drawing for 33 years—ever since I was an 11-year-old kid obsessed with Dark Empire comics and the original Expanded Universe novels. Star Wars Legends has been a huge inspiration for me, and I’ve had the incredible opportunity to contribute 27 character illustrations to the fan fiction anthology Tales from the Boonta Eve Classic.

Now, we’re making Tales from the Outlander Club happen—30 stories (36 character drawings!), packed with art that needs to be created. This is a passion project, but digital art takes time, effort, and hardware. Eventually, my laptop will give out, and at the very least, I’ll need to replace it. Getting paid for this work would be a game-changer, helping me keep this vision alive.

If you love Star Wars Legends and want to support independent fan art, any contribution would mean the world. Let’s bring these stories to life together!
