A simple doodle that grew and grew into a time-suckingly-large project. Still, it was a lot of fun.
I'm a huge fan of the New Jedi Order series, and love the Vong as a group of villains - their wild living armor and weapons make for some great visuals. Problem is, I've virtually never seen them depicted as awesomely as I imagined them while reading. This was my attempt to rectify that.
Also, the new Legacy novel series blows hard, and was such a horrific dissapointment that it's nice to look back on the NJO and remember my hope for how things could have been. As a bonus, Luke Skywalker is easily one of my favorite characters in all fiction, so you can't go wrong, there.

I love your version of the vong. And you are very right. They never seemed to be portrayed in pictures like they were written. I also agree that NJO was way better than legacy of the force. I haven't read the new stuff yet because that was such a let down. I like how you drew Luke. Suitably older and not super bulky. Wonderful work

Thanks very much. Nice praise from a fellow NJO fan. I'll say this, though - have you seen the new Star Wars Invasion miniseries? That artist is doing a really nice job with the Vong. Definitely worth a pick-up.
That is awesome--it showcases both classic-looking Luke and the complex, organic look of the Yuuzhan Vong with skillful lines and a real sense of movement and threat, especially with that amphistaff curving around behind him.

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
