pariahsdream: eschergirls

I found this browsing the Star Wars tag and….
I’m pretty sure Twi’leks can’t dislocate their spines at will and I have no clue what the Sith chick is doing.
I’m really curious what this looks like if you continued their bodies beyond this panel. What is Twi’lek girl (is that Aayla?) doing? Where are they standing? What does the ground look like? Are they fighting inside a sphere?
Okay this one I had to do. This is also for my April Drawing day 3 to boot.SO!
Pic One: Figuring Out WTF is Going On
As you can see, the pose is really weird once you try to figure out how they’re standing. It’s pretty obvious that the artist didn’t crop from a larger image, they just threw the two fighters into a space that doesn’t really let them breathe.
Also- boob flounder, redhead chick isn’t even looking at Twi’lek girl, neck and shoulder WTF’s.
Pic Two: Sticking to the Source
This was me attempting to stick to the same composition/general positioning while fixing the weird anatomy. It’s not bad, serviceable even but I had one more try for something I think might be better.
Pic Three: Let’s See What We Can Do
I wanted the same feeling of the red girl bringing the force line down on the Twi’lek so I put the Twi’lek on her knees, trying for a blocking sort of positioning (note: I don’t know anything about fighting but I did have the sense to google for ‘sword fighting’ or something similar to get an idea of what is in the realm of possible if not perfect). I like my version, but of course I would, right? ;)
Excellent job! I like what you ended up coming up with and showing us the process of how you ended up there and how you were trying to keep the spirit of the original.
