Darth Maul – The Dark Apprentice of the Sith

My illustrations of the Star Wars’ character, Darth Maul!

For those of you who don’t know who this is, Darth Maul made his first appearance in the movie ‘Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace’ and was the apprentice of the main villain of the movie, Darth Sidious. Like the illustration I did of Darth Vader, I decided to make Darth Maul an absolute unit, so that’s why he looks cartoony buff.

While adding colour to the illustration, I wasn’t happy how Darth Maul’s original costume looked. Since his outfit was just black, I thought it looked rather… well, boring. So I decided to remove his black under layer and allow Maul to show off his massive arms and chest.

In the Star Wars universe, Darth Maul has back tattoos all over this chest and arms, not just his face and neck, but when I added the tattoos it made the illustration far too busy.

I will do another illustration of Darth Maul in the future, because I really want to do him in a costume that I think will suit him better.
