Description
My interpretation of the Yuuzhan Vong, a warrior species that utilises organic technology in everything from their huge worldships to personal armour. Their philosophical beliefs are centred around self mutilation and sacrifice to appease their gods. This race features in the New Jedi Order of Star Wars books, and were the highlight of a series that was pretty ordinary in places in my opinion. I mean it killed off half of my favourite characters, which was bound to annoy me and the angst level was a little high.I really wanted to focus on his sense of superiority, that his actions are compelled and guided by a higher force. Almost that he has attained a divinity in his mutilated form.

I like to think Yuuzhan Vong think of themselves as the Star Wars equivelant to fairies....or elves. Niiiice what is that jutting from the pelvic region?

Definitely organic with the connection to living material, like the elves in a way but more blatant. I think it's a protective armour bit, extending from that belt of armour there. If I'd finished the pic there probably would have been a bit of a skirt to protect the thighs and whatnot.

I drew the lineart up with mechanical pencil, scanned it then coloured it with Photoshop CS. I put it in the digital section because the digital took more time.
Oh and your gallery is awesome! Nice style.

Bleh. I can't find ANY books whatsoever with Anakin Solo and Ben Skywalker and stuff in them! Damn me being in New Zealand. We're isolated from the rest of the world. Literally. Anyhow, great stuff! *runs away and looks frantically around for a Starwars book*

NIce capture of the concept - really liked the series concept, though I'll agree with you that individual books and strands didn't live up to their potential - nice to know I'm not the only one digs these guys

O.O You are the mastah of details, Core! And the manliness!

MUST... HAVE... YOUR TALENT!
The detail is absolutely FANTASTIC. O_O
It's not fair... I SHOULD BE THIS GOOD. I am ten times more creative than you or that guy over there who keeps stealing my ideas and giving them to George Lucas. DAMN IT. *snarls*
How did that back ground come out so arcaic looking? What sort of parchment are you using? Maybe it's just an effect of PS..? I adore the smearing. It makes this look so freaking smooth. And according to recent poles, smooth is good.

Yeah I did go a little overboard with the details didn't I?
The background is a mixture of techniques. I aged some paper by hand with tea, crumpling and general jumping up and down on. Then scanned it at high-res and isolated sections then smoothed with photoshop.

Wow. You sure take your work seriously. I salute you!
