Artist's Comments

Inspired by [link] mech7's awesome "Dark Battle Droid". Here's his version:

[link]

Though the colors are similar, it's not a copy. (So hopefully I won't get royalty demands) At any rate, I customized the battle droid a bit. I never really was a fan of battle droids in the prequel films, they just weren't intimidating enough. I mean think about it... bloodless automated killing machines! But their aim is even lousier than that of a stormtrooper and just walk around going "roger roger" or "uh oh".

I tried to make the deisgn more like that featured in Star Wars: Republic Commando, I personally think it looks scarier. Still, nothing tops seeing a Super Battle Droid in that game, they're ridiculously hard to kill. At any rate, this model has a built in FLAMETHROWER on its right hand. Why's that? Because I screwed up the angle on the blaster it was holding.

As always, comments and critiques are much appreciated. Before you ask, yes it is perfectly plausible that I made mistakes on droid anatomy - it's not an oxymoron.

Thank you. The shadow really was a last-minute addition - originally I wanted to have it in a combat pose spewing fire from the flamethrower but I was too lazy to change the pose once it was set - and then I tried to make a whole bunch of them to justify the boring pose. Unfortunately it wasn't very convincing so I just blackened the duplicate and turned it into a shadow.

Personally, my favorite battle droids are the Droidekas... but they're a bit tiresome for me to draw right now. Too detailed!

hehe, look what some lacyness can do for ya'r art XD I like it! ^^

Ehh, droidekas are so totally, disgustingly scary - like monsters who can't be stopped!!! :nirvana: :paranoid: :fear:
- Maby you should make a series of StarWars-droid-art or something?! ^.^

Possibly... I'm not very good at drawing machinery, the battle droids are rather simple to draw when compared to the Droideka. I do want to do some more Star Wars art though, probably clone troopers or something.

Wow the effects in this are really amazing. :wow: I really like the eye and the gleam on the weapon. The shadow adds a nice touch too. I don't know anything about starwars though so I can't really critique the robot because I have no clue about what they look like but I think that this is awesome.

You know what they say about men with big feet.

They wear big shoes.
:iconjontamar:
Yeah, that'd be cool! 8D

Good to see you liked it anyway. If you've never seen Star Wars... then you're really missing out! At any rate this droid can't be found in the movies - flamethrowers are probably a questionable weapon even in the Star Wars Universe ^^
