20 • THE ARTISAN FALL 2024
It is rare to be presented with the opportunity to bring onscreen life to
something that already has such a rich history and fan base, and rarer
still to be able to do so with the actual creator, Dave Filoni, at the helm.
The beloved character of Ahsoka Tano came to all of us from
Star Wars animation with a cast of incredible characters in tow, and
it was our job—Maria Sandoval (Department Head Hair), Ashleigh
Childers (Assistant Department Head Hair), Sallie Ciganovich (key
hair), Alexei Dmitriew (Co-department Head Make-up), Cristina Waltz
(Co-department Head Make-up), Gabriela Quiñonez (key make-up), and
Alan Scott (prosthetic designer)—to collaborate and bring them all out
of 2D and into a 3D world.
