Description
I've always loved the design of the Biker Scouts (aka Scout Troopers) from Return of the Jedi. I think it's amazing how they made this costume look different from the original, iconic, Stormtroopers, but still similar enough that it looks like it's part of the same army.I've added some Ewoks to make this look like an ambush on (the forest moon of) Endor. The placement of the Ewoks, and the trees behind them are key parts of the composition - designed to draw the viewer's eye in toward the Biker Scout.
This was drawn in Photoshop using a Wacom pad. I rarely use anything other than the standard 'hard round' brush - but for this one, I also used the 'stipple' brush on the Ewoks' fur and the tree trunks. The 'scattered leaves' brush was also a big help in painting the leaves on the trees in the background.

It is well that the Empire was toppled so soon after the Ewoks made fools out of the stormtroopers on Endor. The Empire would have made a desert out of Endor had the rebels not blown up the 2nd Death Star.

XV2-47 to the base: Teddybears attacking me!
The base to XV2-47: Dont drink and drive.

Well... this guy is screwed.
Excellent job btw. How long did this take you?

Did you know that Jedi was originally supposed to have Wookies instead of Ewoks, but Luca$ wanted something cuter, more kid-friendly and therefore more marketable for cartoons and toys

Scout Trooper: Ohhh god...stay back...I'm warning you to stay back or I'll shoot!....stay back....STAY BACK! STAY BA--!!!
Even though he is wearing his helmet, I can tell that he has a terrified look on his face.
Hopefully, the ewoks just capture him instead of tearing him apart. Though, he might be their dinner later on...I hope the rebels rescued him. That will be ironic!
I'll give this art TWO THUMBS UP! Not just because it looks BEAUTIFUL, but the feels of what's it like being surrounded by blood-thirsty primitives and there's no way out from this heart-pumping situation. Nobody's gonna save you out of nowhere, so it is either fight to the death or just took a quick escape route by shooting yourself in the head. But if you have a thermal detonator, it's best to take your surrounding enemies with you to Purgatory or Hell itself.
Maybe you would have add a thermal detonator on his empty hand, to make your art more interesting! Though, it is a bit ridiculous to the Empire that the Scout Trooper died taking the teddy bears with him instead of the Rebels his comrades are fighting. LOL!!!!

...unless the last 'man' standing is a space teddy bear!

If you get surrounded and you know you're screwed, use the thermal detonator to bring them all down with you!

wow - those Ewoks would never see that coming ...tick...tick...BOOM! Ewok pieces everywhere!

Yeah, I never bought the fact that Ewoks can take down Storm troopers. I mean stick and stones can hurt stormies?

I just assume that they just brought the stormies down under their body weight, so the stormies couldn't fight, then let the rebels capture them xD

Great pic! Even as a child I totally liked biker scouts and I thought it was stupid that they didn't catch Luke and Leia. I hope that guy gets away

Good to know I'm not the only one who was cheering them on. My parents thought I had morality issues.

Thanks Nicole. I was always on the side of the scouts too - but I suppose we would have had a much shorter movie if they had caught Luke and Leia! And sadly I don't feel too good about this guy's chances of getting away either!

This is some top-notch stuff, friend. It's nothing less than incredible and captures the Scout perfectly.

We can only hope that he gets out of this mess in one piece. XD

...Reading "Copyright of Disney" was excruciatingly painful. More pain than your trooper is about to be in when those ewoks attack even...
However, awesome picture.

Do you take requs-...... DUDE! THEY ARENT FROM DISNEY! IT IS OWNED BY DISNEY NOW! THEY WERE MADE BY GEORGE LUCAS! AT LEAST SAY THAT IN THERE!!
Β but seriously do you?

I'm very happy to clarify that the Scout Trooper costume was designed by Aggie Guerard Rodgers and Nilo Rodis-Jamero. The design of the Ewoks was an evolutionary process with the involvement of Joe Johnston, Ralph McQuarrie and Nilo Rodis-Jamero. Return of the Jedi was directed by Richard Marquand, with the screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and George Lucas, from a story by George Lucas. The reason for citing Disney is because they do indeed own Star Wars and its characters. I intend no infringement of that copyright - and that is why it's important to indicate who the 'owners' are - even where the image is an original depiction of copyright characters. AND, SORRY BUT NO I DON'T TAKE REQUESTS (WHY ARE WE SHOUTING!?).

no, no don't feel stupid - because you're right alot of people do ask - so I guess I need to put up some kind of notice on my ID to explain.

aww man, it would have been cool if the jawas had gotten revenge on the empire.... and I DONT KNOW!

Extremely accurate portrayal of one of my favorite characters in the series. Β I love the angle, coloring and intensity of the piece. Β As a scout myself, I'd hate to be in this situation! Β Then again, I survived round one on Endor, so I'm confident I could handle a few more Ewoks.

Yep - one of my favs too - and a design that looks as good now as it did in 1983. Glad to hear you made it out of that mess on Endor in one piece. Hopefully you get to ride off on your speeder bike into the sunset

Who would have ever thought that the mighty Empire would be humbled by a gang of angry teddy bears!

It was at that moment Scout Trooper 1246 questioned his decision to join the Imperial Army to impress a girl and not remain on Coruscant and run the family business with his father.Β

Working at the family business vs getting eaten by Ewoks, hum, no family business still for the win!

...well since you put it like that!

Yeah people are quick to forget that the Ewoks were going to cook and EAT Han, Luke, and Chewbacca! In the comics and in the novels you find out where they got all of the helmets for their drum routine at the end of Episode IV!! Β
