MOS EISLEY - “STAR WARS” CHARACTER

2DAE_Verkest_Matts_Mos_Eisley_WIP_01.jpg

From a galaxy far, far away…

CHARACTER DESIGN

DESCRIPTION

Meet Stewe Bud Mondo: a clumsy engineer and cleaning-person who lives in the “Star Wars” universe and works at the “Mos Eisley bar”. He dreams to be a bounty hunter one day and although being clumsy, he still is very big and is skilled at handling his fighting sticks - especially when he is drunk. Otherwise, he is very cheerful and optimistic with a witty sense of humor. In other words, a nice companion to travel through the galaxy with.

This was created as a character design exercise.
