I never thought of Jawas as cute until The Husband started playing The Old Republic with Blizz.

Gouache works really well with colored matboard as a support. At some art stores, you can buy their (often huge) cut mat scraps from the framing department for as little as $0.50 each. Of course, not all matboard is created equal – some take more abuse than others, and it’s hard to tell whether it’s archival.
