#star wars creature design

[merlyn-bane]

stewjoni wooley birds!! they evolved wool rather than feathers because it is more flame resistant, and the stewjoni people use it to create textiles as modeled by our keeper here. the presence of wool on their necks and faces is dependent on the climate at the time, and they are very big but not very intelligent. they also lay their eggs in ash from volcanic eruptions to incubate them :)

beak is based on a flamingo, since lesser flamingos living in a volcanic environment gave me the idea to do a bird in the first place, because i thought it might be a good shape to be able to dig morsels out of the ash, and also because i thought it looked cool.

yes i know she looks stupid, but i love her, and consider: this is star wars everything looks stupid. she is called a wooley bird because she's a bird and she's wooley and that's about how creative people usually tend to be with these things.

please feel free to use these if you want to, i'd love to see it.

Beast of Vengeance

Quest - Hunt Maul

Threat Level - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Species: Brute Wyvern (Yes he is because I say so leave your nit pick correcting comments to yourself I have had enough of them.)

Elements: Fire

Ailments: Fire Blight, Bleed

Location(s): Coruscant, Dathomir, Mandalore

The dreaded, nomadic Maul is an invasive danger to all ecosystems it persists in. When natural food sources are low, the wyvern can survive for a long while off the energy and malice it produces in its body. It’s memory is long, and it’s ambition is great.

After everything @insertmeaningfulusername puts him through Bug gets a summer job to collect the weird looking fish from their traps in some pretty lake, spends his days stressing out his poor elderly water-averse dog, gets some new tattoos of silly little bugs, and starts growing his hair out again QnQ

Attack on @stealingpotatoes Star Wars oc Nymie for artfight!

(Bonus Live Slug(s) Reactions I didn't put on artfight since they're canon characters)

[hayesflint]

no atmos version of this painting for creature design purposes !!

designing kal's tail was a lot of fun, but also there were so so many ideas to filter thru. i thought i would like the koi fish the most, but i ended up somewhere very different, for the better. thanks to @swordbladeknight7 who saved me by throwing marine catfish my way, i appreciate you 🩵💚💙

Now Cad, didn’t figure you for a cultivated crook~ ✨🍷

Between closing deals and shooting lasers, the best bounty hunter in the universe, Cad Bane, and his ex have room for chic suits and a sultry rendezvous.

To find out more what this terrible duo is about (and the associated project I'll later work on for them), read on my blog.

May the 4th crush your neck like Vader would

With Eman Esfandi being cast as the Live Action Ezra Bridger, it got me thinking.

In my mind Ezra is with the Chiss Ascendancy in their war against the Grysks, and Ezra’s most iconic force ability is beast taming so my brain naturally concluded:

Csillan War-Mount Creature!

So yeah here’s Ezra’s pet/war mount, a gigantic 4-eyed stoat combined with a snow leopard/ sabertooth cat/ polar bear. A Snow Stoat-Leopard… A Stoatpard.

Until a canon word appears her name will be Sh’uaks’ha, aka ‘White’ in Cheunh according to me. (Kit Sh’uaks’ha - top right)

Beast Squadron - Phoenix Cell, 2BBY

featuring adult Omega, the cadets from the sarlacc planet, and adult Bayrn as their resident jedi!

Thoughts, details, and individual shots below the cut:

Their squad name is from the fact that both of their big inaugural missions were related to some sort of giant monster - the cadets killed the jungle sarlacc and Omega (with bayrn's not-help) released the zillo. All the cadets have a sarlacc motif on their armor (though Stak's isn't as visible since it's mostly on his helmet), and Omega and Bayrn both have a zillo design.

Omega was promoted from pilot to fulcrum-adjacent strategic officer. The cadets are probably commando cadets (or at least CCs of some sort), so Mox (beardy) is commando-adjacent, Deke (white streak) is ARC-adjacent, and Stak (buzzcut) is a lead pilot. Bayrn is just there to fill the token jedi position lol.

Younger-adult designs:

Omega

Mox, Deke, & Stak

Some fun facts and details:

All the clones are the same height; Mox and Stak are just standing on boxes of varying heights to make the shot work

Mox and Stak got their scars in the same incident

Deke is also their squad's Tech Guy

Stak's tattoo is a thermal detonator over his inhibitor chip scar

Deke's jaig eyes are from the jungle sarlacc mission - the tattoos are a little blurrier/more faded in this one than in his younger-adult design

Adult Bayrn is here because Baby Bayrn was the only kid entirely unphased by extreme violence

Everyone except Omega has a Rebellion insignia somewhere on their armor

Omega has a Bad Batch skull (not super visible in this pic but it's poking out a bit) instead of the rebellion logo

The gauntlet/vambrace with the green stripe is Omega's only standard white clone armor

Stak is wearing a clone pilot chest box over a rebel pilot flightsuit

My original adult-Deke design had blond dyed hair but it made him look a bit too much like Rex

Omega's crossbow-bow is a combination of the nightsister energy bows, her original zygerrian energy bow, and Echo's green bolt crossbow

They're part of Phoenix Cell because Hera wanted Omega to do strategy stuff

Everyone's lost at least one armor piece compared to their younger-adult designs

Alternate cuts:

Just the clones

Not So Uncivilized

Quest - Hunt Obi-Wan

Threat Level - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Species: Fanged Wyvern

Elements: Fire

Ailments: Fire Blight

Location(s): Coruscant, Stewjon

A fanged wyvern that climbs and glides among the treetops and canyons. Deftly moving in all directions, this cunning beast will give any skilled hunter a run for their zenny. Be not fooled by its approachability, it will attacked if provoked, and is a fearsome foe.

I’ve struggled with Castin’s Aster’s design for as long as I can remember. He used to just have regular, long lekku, then I made one short, either cut that way or didn’t develop, to sorta match with Luke’s missing hand. I draw him with a cybernetic lekku when I want him to be able to gesture and sign.

But I’ve also wanted to make both lekku short, since it would sorta balance out his symmetry and make for a unique design that matches how I look with my short hair? Idk. I’m still thinking abt it, and I wanna know other people’s thoughts!

So. Merfolk/Siren/Selkie/Valkyrie AU art?

Yrsa, my OC, with her friend Cog, the acklay. In the girl's youth, they lived together for a while in a secluded forest.

Hey quick question: if you were translating a sarlacc pit-esc pit-with-teeth monster into a TTRPG al la DnD, would you place it as a monster or a environmental hazard? and if you DO make it a monster, what active abilities would you give it?
