I Consider Myself A Microinfluencer In The Way I Can Get Ten To Fifteen People To Consume A Piece Of

No thoughts, head empty, just Senior Captain Thrawn

I wanted to draw this one for ages and finally got the right mood.

I just hope ya’ll realize it is a joke and there is no need to argue about how it came out.

I love him ! 💙

Thanks for giving me a chance ❤

Most of the “official” pictures of Thrawn really bother me. Half the time he looks either like Ron Perlman or my uncle Donald, the other half he seems to be doing his best impression of a Moai statue on Easter Island. Both of which can be a good look for some characters, but definitely not what I think of when I think “Grand Admiral Thrawn”. 

Let’s take the trio of graphic novels collected in The Thrawn Trilogy, published by Dark Horse in 2009. Each of the graphic novels is illustrated by different artists, each has a wildly different take on Thrawn even though they’re obviously based on the same template. 

The first graphic novel illustrating The Heir to the Empire was drawn by Olivier Vatine and Fred Blanchard, and has what I call Easter Island Thrawn: 

……………. Not really my cup o’ tea, but all of the characters are stylized kind of strangely in this one, so he fits in pretty well when taken as a whole. 

Moving on to Dark Force Rising, which was illustrated by Terry Dodson and Kevin Nowlan, we have a style which I guess was going more for realism but falls pretty flat and stiff on paper: 

It’s also wildly inconsistent. Sometimes Thrawn’s chin is wider than his cheekbones, and other times he barely has a jaw. I’m not sure what they were going for. 

But then we get to The Last Command, which in my opinion is the best illustrated out of all of them. It was drawn by Edvin Biukovic and Eric Shanower, and it’s this Thrawn and Pellaeon (not to mention Mazzic, Karrde, and Gillespee) that I’ve largely based my own doodles on. They seem the most natural and logical to me, and are the closest to how I envision the characters from the books. 

Thrawn’s depicted as elegant and with all the proper military decorum, but also as relaxed and almost jaunty. His hands are remarkably expressive, and his tendency in the books to fiddle with things or otherwise preoccupy his hands by lacing them together, touching his face, petting ysalamiri, etc is illustrated quite nicely. 

I also love the fact that his playful side is easier to see. His little smirks are priceless.

And that he’s still shorter than Mazzic even when he’s at full attention and Mazzic’s slouching. 

It’s the little things.
