week 14: Ghetto Star Wars

just sketches, I'll post the real deal soon...

Ghetto Maul...(Or the Maul white people use to go to!)

I haven't posted in a while, but here is a little something for the Star Wars fix. Still workin on the BG, so I'll post that up soon.

I liked Bob's IG-88 a lot. This graphic idea poped in my head and I had to try it out. IG is so stiff - he was just a prop in the movies - and he lends himself well as a stand in for the letter "I".

Ghetto Ewok

The ewoks needed some ghetto representation, so here's my entry!

Star Whores

This was a great topic Don! There are so many characters to draw from. A great turn out this week with some new recruits too!

Here's my paint job on the "Dengar and the girls" piece. Originally I was thinking real chocolately browns and baby blues for the girls. I still think that would be cool. I think the more I got into it, the more I was trying to create some sorta contrast with some hot colors. I dunno, I guess that felt "gangsta" to me. One thing I didn't like about the sketch is how short the girls' legs were. I shoulda lengthened them from the knees down in Photoshop. I got so far into coloring though I forgot about it. And then the costumes had these sheer leg parts that weren't turning out to my liking. The solution was to crop it! The squarer composition I ended up liking better anyway so I don't feel too bad. Kinda reminds me of an album cover.

I had another quick idea for an IG-88 image. That droid is so stiff it's funny imagining him doing anything. I did this one pretty fast and comparitively there's actually a lot more I like about it than my Dengar. I'm still really drawn to flat art. Just goes to show, time doesn't necessarily equal quality. And personally, I can feel just as safistfied, if not more, with something quick.

I'll try to post some development sketches on my own blog tonight. The girlies I started drawing were horrid...

Ain't Nothin' But a Force Thang!

Yoda the thug. Leah the hoochie. Luke the pimp. Who's going to turn these into a film. I'd go to see it!

Jedi Springer

What could be more ghetto than the show Jerry Springer? It's more trashy than ghetto, but none the less...

Rough

heres my rough, There are some great entries this week, I love it. I will do another pass on mine before i try and clean it up and color it this weekend, but heres where im at. I always thought if R2 and C3PO were two brothas from the street, that C3PO would be R2's Bitch. HAHAHAHA


I added a color version, i had to rush this out, ive been spending alot of time on 3d on a new character, he is up on my blog.

Wannabe Dengar?

Really more of an excuse to draw some girlies this week. I chose to make Dengar the bounty hunter into Snoop Dogg here. There is no love for Dengar it seems. Dengar is the ugliest and most pathetic hunter of the gang so I thought draping a few girls on him would be a nice contrast. Overweight and wrapped like a mummy, he'd be lucky if Jabba's dancers gave him the time.

Shoot right or be shot

My Riiiims!!!

Ghetto Star Wars - You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

The rebels would all be too busy shooting each other to take any interest in the fate of the galaxy. Also, every rebel ship would have giant spinny wheels, so they'd all be slower, less maneuverable, and take longer to stop. The empire would run rings around them.

I always saw Bib Fortuna as somewhat of a pimp for Jabba the Hutt. The way he forced Leia up in his face - always stuck with me. Bib has the stature for it - and the 1983 Kenner action figure even came with a pimpin' cane.

Princess Leia - Bratz Edition

If you have even been in the toy aisle then you have seen the Bratz dolls and boy are they ghetto. If they were ever licensed to make Star Wars characters I would imagine they'd look something like this. Here is the Limited Edition Princess Leia Bratz Baby. Very hard to find!

Luke Skywalka Will Step To

I know Photoshopping is the bunk, but that Luke attitude is aight.

Jawa

Yodelicious

This was the first idea that came to mind...it's just wrong, I know.
