Wampa

I chose to draw a Wampa this week. I've wanted to draw something from Star Wars for a while and this was a good excuse.

That guy's name was Malakili?

Star Wars! So I kinda had a tough time deciding on my Star Wars entry (especially being my first one) because the original films were just rife with weirdos and great creature designs. I wanted to draw something bad! Something rockin' and full of amazing Star Wars amazing!

But I decided it'd be a lot more fun to draw the dingus Rancor owner who cries after his Rancor dies.  Apparently his name is Malakili and Wookiepedia has horrified me with the fact that the scantily clad fat guy had an origin involving more than caring for a Rancor. Such a tender heart.

Regardless... here you go, fat, weeping guy from Return of the Jedi!

Fun fact - he escaped after Jabba died to open his own restaurant in Mos Eisley!

Hey Fellas,Many thanks to Tom for picking Star Wars. As much as I love super heroes and many other fan boy things, Star Wars is my holy grail! It started an obsession with Harrison Ford that I'm not sure I should be all that comfortable with. Is there anybody cooler than Harrison in the 80's? I don't think so. I remember finding out that not only was he Han Solo, but he was also Indiana Jones. It was over for me then. Complete and total obsession. So here you go, a little Han and Chewy ditty. I've been scanning my finished drawings and giving them this Drewish color treatment. I'd like it to grow into something that looks a little less like Drew and a little more like me eventually, but I'm pretty happy with the results anyway. An art director at Spectrum told me that I obviously hate color so I'm trying to learn to love it. Awesome entries this week boys!

What a Wookiee!

More Bossk!

My first ever Timberline drawing! Star Wars is a pretty sweet place to start. Despite having drawn 100 Star Wars sketch cards for Topps back in the day (Sketch Cards!), this is the first time I've ever drawn Jar Jar. Or, at least, PART of Jar Jar. Probably the last time, too.

Anakin's lightsaber

Here is my piece for this weeks Star Wars entry. I have always been a big fan of Star Wars since childhood. When this pick came down I know I was ready to geek out on it! So yeah I guess I wanted to show Obi Wan just looking at Anakins light saber and contemplating about things. Even as a kid I thought to my self “so you’ve just been living on this desert planet for 20 years stewing over this shit?”. I always kind of assumed he was just Drinking his problems away for 20 years till Luke showed up.

Anyhow I can't wait to see most of you guys at the Denver Comic Con next weekend!

Live from ACE iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's Bossk!

Coming at you from Albuquerque Comic Expo. I wanted to do a character I hadn't drawn before and landed on Bossk although Billy Dee Williams is here so I may draw some Lando this weekend.

It's BACON!

Because my favorite thing in the world is Star Wars, I put in some work on this one. So you get Gammorean Guards. Because Gammorean Guards are awesome. Also, I will have to take the time for some color...I think this would make a cool convention print.

De wana wanga? De wana...wygo.

Cheers

Here's my favorite Star Wars character, Mr. Spock about to blast a Chewbacca with his tri-corder.

Somebody's defiant-to-the-last / smart mouth just landed their cute little butt on maintenance detail for Jabba's repulsor sled.
