The STAR WARS Characters Redesign Thread

[Caliber]

Love the Vader design. Very medieval yet futurtistic.

My Qui Gon is Asian (based on Ken Watanabe of Last Samurai fame). He still taught Obi Wan, but by the first Episode...Obi Wan will have already been a knight. Qui Gon won't die in the first Episode.

Mace Windu is pretty much the same Mace Windu...just a different appearance. He'd also have a more interesting personality (he's been boring in the first 2 prequels). Aayla Sacura is originally a Twi'lak (the race with 2 tentacles coming out of their heads) but I changed her to a humanoid (Darth Maul's race).

Darth Maul will play a more important role in my version of the prequels. He'll basically be Darth Maul plus Darth Dooku...except he won't have the force lightning power that Dooku has.

why did you change aayla? the whole point of her character is mixing beauty and grace with jedi power.

She's still beautiful and graceful...she's just not "sexy" like the original Aayla.

I love it dorky fresh keep it coming!

 

[Rayne]

Dorky Fresh...you need to be working in the comics industry.

 

[Boom]

Dorky, do you mind if I make a request?

Could you draw and color another Darth Vader design? Nothing against your other one. It just doesn't catch my particular taste.

I'd like to see a more...."advanced" version of the classic look (In other words, a design that looks very similar to the classic suit, but looks more metallic and cybernetic).

I'll see what I can do. What about my concept do and don't you like? I personally like the helmet (it's once of the few revised concepts that I've done that I actually like).

 

[n8dogg]

heres my yoda and palpatine, the scanner darkened palpatines mouth....he has many teeth. i tried to make it mouth of sauron-ish. yoda has a hood in the back.

 

[Boom]

My only problems with the design are the length of the mask, the shape of the helmet, and the body garments.

 

[Duker Jay]

HA! The ONLY problems with the design is...everything about the design.

 

[DorkyFresh]

HA! The ONLY problems with the design is...everything about the design.

You've got some nerve...let's see you redesign Darth Vader.

 

[SLYspyda]

your both ******s duker and boom. that IS the design, and it's prefect.

 

[Boom]

What did I do ?

 

[Eternal]

And...that's YOUR opinion. Not everyone has to like the redesign, but he definitely could have said that he didn't like it in a better way. Maybe someone played an April's Fools joke on him and he was mad when he posted, I dunno =p.

 

[Eternal]

Apparently you are stupid because you didn't think the design was 100% perfect, /shrug.

 

[Boom]

I never said it was a bad concept. It just didn't click with me, that's all.

 

[Eternal]

I know man. This guy is going around posting the same kind of thing in a few other threads, try to ignore him ( I am =p ).

 

[Duker Jay]

WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! I guess my post wasn't clear...I was laughing that Boom said "the only problem" with the design was, like...every part of the design.

I love that Vader.

C'mon, DorkyFresh...I've heaped numerous praises on you for your work...I guess I should have quoted Boom.

Geez...sorry.

Seriously...it was just a sarcastic comment...my bad.

 

[SLYspyda]

lol, its funny how his comment was taken. and his comment IS true, so uh boom, you suck, not duker

 

[lujho]

That is awesome. I always thought some of Ralph MacQuarrie's vader concept art was better that the final version - yours reminds me a bit of some of that.

I always thought it would be cool in Episode 3 if Anakin became Vader and got some form of the armour BEFORE he had the accident and bacame a cyborg. That armour could have been something like this.

I absolutely love the flattened look of the mask.

 

[lujho]

This is a Darth Vader manip I did around the time when episode 2 came out dreaming of what Darth might be like in ep3,, One of my 1st manips also.

I was way off,,lol

Wow, that's incredibly similar to a drawing I did years ago, as either a prequel anakin/Vader or "sequel" Luke.

 

[lujho]

What the hell. May as well show these. These are years old, very rough, unfinished and really quite crap, but you get the idea.

The Anakin/Vader with the mask and long hair, well, imagine it with a mask more like DorkyFresh's (sans helmet). In fact imagine DorkyFresh drew all these

The Yoda is what he might have looked like hundreds of years ago. This was drawn maybe 8-9 years ago.

 

[TheBatboy]

I really like that Vader one!!

 

[Shampoo!]

WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! I guess my post wasn't clear...I was laughing that Boom said "the only problem" with the design was, like...every part of the design.

no, it was clear. i knew exactly what you were saying, because i noticed it too.

"i like it, except i hate everything about it."

 

[Duker Jay]

Thank you! I sometimes forget that it's hard to convey sarcasm through the written word...it's like that episode of Simpsons all over again.
