I've been sleeping a lot. I'm not a fan of being sick just before having a long trip, this month will end up being pretty lightweight. Brilliant for one of the first months of a new endeavor.

I did a little bit of Star Wars stuff while I was awake, and I think it's funny how many Star Wars races are "funny hat" races. Like the Twilek and the Togruta are both good example: they're essentially a lady with body paint and a funny hat.

But they're so fucking cute.

I spent some time thinking about Star Wars vs Star Trek and alien design while I was trying to either fall asleep or get up. Most Star Wars races are incredibly boring - reused generic costumes, for the most part. And most Star Trek races are "forehead aliens", which are like hat aliens but even weaker.

But what makes Twilek and Togruta and a few other, similar designs so striking? Is it the impact of framing the face, maybe... basically a really nice haircut with fun stripes and shit...

ANYWAY, I also did some work on Moll. I'll be rolling out your requests later, I hope, if you have more let me know.
