DarkHorizons posted the following article from the official Star Wars website: "Though the extremely complicated CG model of him [Grievous] is finished and approved, his final painted form has yet to be rendered. The image of him that graces the cover of the latest official UK Star Wars fan magazine and the soon-to-be published official French magazine, which can be found in the current issue of Cinefex isn't a finished form. The long lead times of print publications required that image of Grievous to be completed over a month ago, and Grievous has continued to evolve since then. That image is actually a combination of an unfinished render with 2-D digital paint applied by Concept Artist Alex Jaeger.
Grievous has yet to make an appearance in a finished Episode III shot. That's not to say the computer-generated character isn't getting a workout. Already, animation of Grievous and Obi-Wan Kenobi engaged in a bare-knuckle brawl (if something with metallic fingers can be said to be bare-knuckled) is being developed and approved. Producer Rick McCallum says "There's still work left to do on him before we can add him to shots. It's not until we have a voice for him and can record a guide track for him next month that we can really start animating his character"."
