I'm a big chewy fan, always have been. I think it goes back to my fascination with the Sasquatch. Yup, Bigfoot when I was a kid I was a true believer in anything and everything paranormal. Aliens, The Loch Ness Monster, the Abominable Snowman. I believed the remains of Noah’s ark was still stranded on top of a mountain somewhere in Turkey. I had theories on the cattle mutilations of the 70s and I defiantly, at least once, saw a flying saucer. The world was so much more an interesting place when I was fourteen, to bad I eventually had to grow up.
This piece is featured in a youtube video I did. Its about my technique, and just some of my thoughts on sketch cards and drawing them. Here's the Link

Awesome card, very cool video! You are a little bit misinformed about they pay scale for sketch cards, though. Yes the companies do pay on the low end per card, but where you make your money is in the return cards (the cards you get to keep to sell for yourself). Imagine if you will this particular Chewbacca card was done on an official Topps sketch card, and you picked it as one of your returns you could probably get around $500 for it. Multiply that by six and its not a bad months work. Just something to think about.

Of course, if you are an artist that doesn't do superior work like yourself you would make next to nothing! So I see your point also.
