Between some solid commission work and doodling up some freebies, I was hit with a profound urge to just play around with some expressions on old school aliens, so here have an irked rodian, a cheerful whiphid and an unimpressed trandoshan.

Can you do K'kruhk?

Sure!! Here he is :D

[oh-no-eu-didnt]

K’Kruhk was a Whiphid Jedi Master who was notorious for being extremely difficult to kill, surviving the Clone Wars and the Jedi Purge. Known for his signature hat, K’Kruhk was a gentle, thoughtful being, who handled a lightsaber with stunning expertise. His great strength and constitution lent themselves to his longevity, despite being killed many times.

This week’s theme: Masters and Apprentices!

Happy (?) Clone Wars Friday!

If you’re looking for a comic to accompany the heartbreaking Clone Wars finale, I recommend the “Dark Times” series published by Dark Horse from 2006 to 2013. I especially recommend the sixth arc, “Fire Carrier,” which you can find as five issues or as one volume.

I’m not a fan of every Dark Times arc, but “Fire Carrier” is one of the darkest and most joyful stories in Star Wars comics, right up there with “Knight Errant: Escape.” The ending of “Fire Carrier” is like a soothing cup of tea after the gut-punch of TCW.

The story follows Master K’Kruhk and a group of Jedi children who survived Order 66. He has fascinating, complex relationships with other ex-Masters, ex-Separatists, and even Imperial officers, but my favorite relationship is with his faithful Padawan Chase Piru.

“Dark Times 6: Fire Carrier,” Issue 1. Dark Horse. February 6, 2013. Writer: Randy Stradley. Penciller: Gabriel Guzman. Colorist: Garry Henderson.
