Star Wars Birthday Gift Labels

This one was made completely from scratch. I used the pen tool to create the Rebel logo, rectangles for the stripes and two textures for the background.

 I extracted the AT AT from it's background, cleaned up the edges and placed it on an oval with a simple bevel and drop shadow.

I found this image online, did some minor tweaks and added all of the text.

I'm testing out some Illustrator tutorials for possible use in my class. Here is the first one I attempted. Not overly challenging but I would have to rewrite some of the steps for the mouth and use several examples for the legs.

Here is the original image. I spent way too long removing the original text. The shadows and highlights were rough but the final result is pretty solid.
