1982 Jawa Artwork by Tim Truman?

Not quite a Jawa, but this cover to a 1982 issue of SPI’s Ares Magazine definitely made me think that the Star Wars Jawa character design at least partially influenced a character shown in the Tim Truman artwork.

Above, the cropped part of the magazine cover shows you what caught my eye. The overall painting is a fun design and seeing this kinda makes me wish for a Tim Truman art book collecting his early works for the game industry.
