Jar Jar by Ramón Pérez

it's my fault that jar jar took the stage this week. but surprisingly mostly everyone showed up to the party! either for a secret love of the character or an eternal burning hatred.

i float somewhere in between. as much as he's annoying, he's nowhere near as annoying as the kid who grows up to be darth vader. so sad.

a few years back, whilst doing way to many shows i made a decision. when at shows we do sketches. you name a character i'll draw him, her, it. i love the challenge... the thing i hate is when someone comes up and states "draw whatever you'd like." y'see the thing is i hate to think at these shows and after doing sketches all day your kinda burnt out.

so these days if you ask for whatever... you get jar jar binks.

i haven't had time to finish up my new jar jar piece - busy with a fellow named deadpool - but it'll be up shortly. but i thought i'd share some snaps of con sketches as my place holder till then....

It was definitely a challanging subject. I hope I made it cool nevertheless ;)
Thank you, Ramon :P

Cheers,

Why did I bother...? I guess because the glass jar joke was already done. I hate Jar Jar. Is that wrong?

JAR JAR BINKS by tom fowler

i'm cheating a bit this week, but given that i'm fairly certain i'm the only twartist to have drawn jar jar professionally, i figured i earned the right to fudge this week a bit.


as andy mentioned in his post, there aren't a whole lot of ways to make jar jar cool. the best way i've found is not to show him at all. a few years back , while i was doing some star wars work, i proposed a short story set just before "a new hope". the main idea being that most of the rebels blamed jar jar for everything that had gone wrong in there universe, and that resentment had turned over time into a general prejudice against gungans, who themselves made it a point of honor to fight the hardest in the worst conditions to make up for this supposed debt. that set the scene for a "two-fisted tales/the losers" style story about one particularly hardcore unit of gungan warriors, going on a certain death mission that ultimately (so far as anyone in the story knew or cared) turned out to be meaningless.

not surprisingly, nobody went for it. whether because of the underlying theme of racism, or because it may have been a bit too meta, i don't know.

so why am i writing all this?

jar jar can lick my left nut...

... but gungans are fun to draw.

Sorry this is so gruesome but, really, who hasn't had this thought before?
I know Steve already did the Jar Jar joke but what the hell.

JAR JAR BINKS by Andy Kuhn

Originally I was going to do a jokey drawing of Jar Jar.

Then I thought it's way harder to make Jar Jar look cool than stupid.

It turns out the only way for me to make Jar Jar Binks look cool,

is to draw him really small on the page!

Thanks for looking.

My jar of Jar Jar is ajar...

If I were slightly more ambitious, I'd mock up a title crawl for this thing:

STAR WARS

Episode III.V

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

JAR JAR BINKS by Chris Samnee

Yeah, this is all the Jar Jar I could muster. Even just drawing him made me angry...
