Fanart Thursday - A rather fun take on Star Wars.

[icon_uk]

Denis Medri is an artist on DeviantArt who gained praise for his innovative reworkings of pop culture classics

These are the first work of his I found;








See here for more images from this idea!


But just today, I found these and they are AWESOME. In light of Disney buying LucasFilm, we may not want to let them know these exist, but just imagine...



Luke and Leia


Threepio and Artoo


Han and Chewie


Oh god, Han in short-short's!!! :D


Coach Yoda and Mr Kenobi


Vader, Fett and one Vaders gang


Lando and Greedo


Principle Palpatine, Jabba the Janitor and Deputy Tarkin

Pretty great :)

So wait, how on Earth would Vader be Luke's father? Ah well, colour me impressed by these.

[himalayan_pink]

Never underestimate the power of time travel.

[shingi70]

Make him Luke and Leia's step or half brother.

Zaphod Beeblebrox father's name was Zaphod Beeblebrox the Second, and Zaphod's grandfather was called Zaphod Beeblebrox the Third. This was due to "an accident with a contraceptive and a time machine"

I'm loving Luke Michael J Fox back to the future look.

It does work rather well doesn't it! :)

[himalayan_pink]

Love them! The only one that feels off to me is Han. Dude should be way better looking than that.

[leoboiko]

The blood flow to my lower parts disagree with you.

[icon_uk]

It's the 1980's, that WAS good looking! :)

Commissions, I haz them, from an artist I found on Tumblr named Jori Bolton! Click the images if you wish to embiggenize them:

Oooh! Liking that Raven on in particular!

[perletwo]

Yeah, Raven was the main commission piece, with me providing references and us e-mailing back and forth extensively to work out design details. (Mostly boiled down to "something that shows off the clean lines of the original design.") Golden Age Wonder Woman was a toss-in at the last minute, because he had a delay on his projected finish date - really not necessary, but I wasn't gonna say no. :D The backgrounds are wonderful, with that white scratchboard texture!

[skemono]

At this size, I thought the buttons on Raven's shoulders were indicating she was a member of the Fantastic Four.

[perletwo]

They'll let anybody into their little quartet these days, I think :D

Could be worse, could be like Alpha Flight in the 1990's, which even Marvel mocked on one occasion (in IIRC one of their "Year in Review" issues) with their description of it as "If you can name half the members of the team, you're qualified to join"

[sianmink]

Looks great but Han just doesn't feel right, and a Firebird? It should be either a beat-up Ford Falcon, a converted and hot-rodded full-sized van, or a '55 Chevy.

[icon_uk]

If you follow the link to the other images, another version has the Falcon as a van.

[shadur]

Not gonna lie, that Steph design is my absolute utter favorite.
