Here's the black C-3PO model I started with for my JKE-RBN7 Star Wars baseball card. I modified this draft considerably when I realized that drawing an ebony C-3PO makes the character look like a kinky sex fiend zipped into a black latex sensory deprivation suit, complete with slave collar. Think of "The Gimp" from "Pulp Fiction" (1994). I hoped that drawing the baseball uniform and cap would make it look less depraved, but the drawing ended up looking like a kinky sex fiend zipped into a black latex suit wearing a baseball jersey and cap.
I realized I had to tone down the black and add some details to make the character's head look less like a sex mask.
This isn't quite the actual drawing I was working on, I stopped about two-thirds of the way into this draft when I suddenly realized where it was going. Today, I finished this draft and restored the original black colour, which just took a few minutes. It's ungood enough for Ungood Art Day, which happens to be today, traditionally the thirteenth day of every month. Every Ungood Art Day, I post some piece I've worked on that went horribly wrong in some way. It's a nice shot of humble after posting an entry that attracted almost 7,000 hits in one day.
