The mighty Chewbacca, as rendered by me. If you think you know where I am going with this project, you'd likely be around 75% wrong.
Chewbacca is very difficult to draw. Even so, a quick search of the Internet shows up a great deal of Chewie artwork, much of it incredibly good. I suppose artists see the big Wookiee as a challenge. Some of the works surpass the movies, making Chewbacca seem more alive than he was in Star Wars (1977), and that's an achievement by my reckoning.
Someday, when I learn more about rendering hair and fur, I'd like to take another try at Chewbacca. For now, this will do. If the pose looks familiar, it's because I traced off of Frame 352 of the famous Patterson-Gimlin Sasquatch film, and then drew Chewie over that.
Chewbacca is the intellectual property of - wait for it - the Walt Disney Corporation. What a world!
