I did this today just to kind of screw around. I kinda wanted to do something digital in color because It’s been awhile. It’s so hard for me to look at a lot of my digital work because I get uncomfortable with “clean” look of it. On the other hand this went really quick because I didn’t worry with that and just went with it.
I also feel cheesy drawing just a head shot of Darth Maul but, whatever. Just look at it.
Also, I did this in Manga Studio 4.
I like it. Even with such a wide neck. Maul was such an incredible character. So much potential. A terrible shame that he was killed off in the first prequil.
Thanks. Yeah, his neck and eyes are driving me nuts right now. i think his head overall is kinda wide. But you know, for the sake of screwing around and such. Maul could have been way more, I have to agree with that.
I’ve always wished he could have survived, and been like a Mephistopheles character to Dooku in Attack of the Clones. zWhispering things in the fallen Jedi’s ear.
I like this one too: it’s an iconic image, and the unrelenting blackness is appealing. It’s so much better without defining the jawline. And I really like the care you took with the horns.
Thanks Glendon! I think the color combinations and over all silence (for the most part) made the character one of the best parts of the prequels. The red and black really put of a furious kind of vibe.
I totally agree about the jawline. I think that for a second I thought about just putting a very thin white line to show the separation. In the end I didn’t even try it. I felt it looked way stronger with the solid blacks. It was fun to do too!
