For this months theme week I'm drawing salacious crumb, rather than try to explain it all, I can leave you with the wookipedia entry below. I was hoping to have a lot more fun with him but because of time I ended up just quickly drawing this. It's just a regular brush in Photoshop, with the flats.
Salacious B. Crumb was a Kowakian monkey-lizard employed as a court jester for Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure. Known for his shrill laugh and sadistic sense of humor, Crumb started out as little more than vermin on Kwenn Space Station during the days of theGalactic Republic, eventually escaping onto a ship belonging to Jabba the Hutt. When Jabba found Crumb eating from his food bowl, he attempted to digest him, though the Kowakian monkey-lizard escaped, covering Jabba's two henchmen with goo in the process. Jabba found this extremely amusing, and offered Crumb a role as his court jester; if Salacious managed to amuse Jabba at least once a day, he would be allowed to eat and drink as much as he wished. However, if he failed to do so, he would be killed. For over a dozen years he lived in Jabba's Palace, playing many tricks and practical jokes on some of the palace's regulars, and becoming one of the most disliked members of Jabba's court. He died in 4 ABY, whenJabba's sail barge exploded over the Great Pit of Carkoon.
He is an odd looking fellow, but you got him spot on. :) It is difficult to draw unusual body shapes that go into a character like this. Did you find it hard, making him look like the character?
