Tribal Star Wars Masks by Daniel Newman

Not the Star Wars characters you're used to, but amazing art and a unique look for the gang. True, there is a lot of fan art for Star Wars out there, but in a way its really cool to see people reproducing content from the movies years after they've cooled off with their own design spin on things.  Fan art doesn't just keep Star Wars as a brand alive, but it provides for new appreciation for Star Wars characters that we all love.  I can say that I've had a TON of toys and played a good number of Star Wars video games because I love the franchise that much.

Daniel Newman does a fine job with his self-proclaimed "Quakerwars" set in detailing the heck out of some of these characters.  Tribal and raw.  George Lucas, please consider using Daniel's version of Darth Vader for your next film.

Surreal Beast Illustrations by Iain Macarthur

 

 

Iain Macarthur is a illustrator and graphic designer from Swindon, UK.  His portfolio kind of caught me off guard with the seemingly supernatural portrayals of animals in portrait form.  He beautifully adds feathers and tribal patterned effects onto already  powerful poses of animals with piercing gazes.  Just take a look at the his tiger piece, its almost as if all of the details are distracting from being able to appreciate the whole image.

I can't even imagine what has to be going on in your head when coming up with things like these.  But whatever Iain did to reach this artistic vision sure is pretty damn good.
