Mace Windu - Amethyst blade cinematic

First concept of Windu's face after being shocked by Palpatine. The webbing was inspired by real world lightning scars.

Concept art for Windu's new outfit. Keeping the bracers from my original concept art, but adding more armor and texture, he still has the silhouette of a jedi, but with a little more flare.

Second concept, played with the idea that the lightning had burned patches of melanin, as well as burned, split, and charred skin, much like electrical burns.

Theory didn't want Mace to be too unrecognizeable, so the vitiligo-like scarring was out, but he did like the webbing and darker scarring.

I was tasked with creating a Mace Windu head for Star Wars Theory's Amethyst Cinematic. I made several blend shapes for his facial animation, as well as eyes and teeth. I handed him off to Ruben Brouns for final texturing after Theory brought in a new supervisor. I added the eyebrows and beard after.
