Dark Crystal sequel - pre-production art!

From Muppet Central:

Award-winning animation director Genndy Tartakovsky, who created the hit series Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Samurai Jack and Dexter’s Laboratory, will direct Power of the Dark Crystal, the much anticipated sequel to The Jim Henson Company’s 1982 classic fantasy film. The announcement was made today by Lisa Henson, co-CEO of The Jim Henson Company and a producer on the film.

This is actually news we've been hearing for about a week now, but check out the pre-production art featuring Queen Kira, an aged version of the heroine from the first film. Pretty cool!
