You really have been setting up that Voolvif isn't just some "badass" but someone with a strong heart and will for a while, and it's good to see that worldbuilding pay off here. As someone who doesn't really watch Star Wars all that much, light saber battles and warfare are the main things that come to my mind. It's really good to see a situation where someone is avoiding instigating -or even reciprocating- that violence at almost any cost.
I also applaud you for putting in so much detail into the faces and paying attention to the anatomy when all that's going on is talking. I can tell you're really pouring your heart into this.

Thank you very much for the nice compliment. It means much to me.
Of course, here will be action too, a lightsaber battle and star ship battle, even some scenarios, that will be drawn in horror comic style, for we are talking about werewolves here.
But it is also important to me, that there is a story aside from action too and I like to reverse the roles. Here it is werewolves, who talk about compassion, while human beings establish an empire, were living is would be like hell, if you are on their bad side.

Kinda reminds me of the "Black Sails" show (Precursor to Treasure Island) where Civilized Society is shown to be more backstabbing and dishonorable than the Pirates at times.

Yes indeed. This kind of story telling is working with the contrast, that one side features the exact opposite characteristics one would expect the other side would have.

Ironic as Treasure Island has a scene where the Pirates mutiny over finding a single piece and the Skeleton Crew now has a Shistavarian Pirate who does a similar scene (kinda a cross with Edward 'Blackbeard' Teach, Isreal Hands, and George Mary) angry that so much work and sacrifice yielded a single credit. 🏴‍☠️🐾

Even the Pirate Captain's name was Silvo (Silver ... as in Long John Silver).

A nice inspiration source.
The same with grand admiral Thrawn, who is based on an evil version of Sherlock Holmes.

Did you know that the new series Skeleton Crew features a Shistavanen pirate named Brutus?

Yes. Someone here on FA allready sent me a link. I allready like Brutus, simply for this one sentence "Good mens´ lifes lost, just for one credit." He allready established, that he cared for his fellow pirates.
And the anthro warthog was adorable^^

We need more alien characters in Star Wars.

I know it’s a story for humans, by humans, about humans, and I know costumes are expensive, but I wish there were more alien characters.

More interacting bedween humans and aliens would be good, not only just for short side clips.

I am of the same oppinion.

Vulver’s speech sort of reminds me of Thorin Oakenshield’s dying words.

Sort of.
It is a simple truth. A little less greed and a little bit more compassion and this world would be much brighter.

I'm still amazed at how much care, attention and detail you put in your artwork. It really shows in Voolvif's face here, you've made him such a truly beautiful, handsome canine! <3

Thank you very much for the nice compliment. *bows*

You're very, very welcome! *hugs*

Oh here we go...Something about to be revealed here.

Aye.

Such wonderful expressive work in these Eternal. And a great show of character and that Jedi desire and humility - as well as slight naivety that others are not as kind as them. Very good stuff.

thanks much

Like the Republic itself the Jedi Order had been in a long decline, Voolvif more of a throwback to what it was in the past given we've seen how he truly embodied the ideals of the Jedi, the compassion and the strength of will and a noble heart, belieing as well the stereotype that outsiders would have when they think of Shistavanen. In times when the galaxy is shrouded in darkness even a small pinpoint of light is more important than ever, as is a spark of hope rekindled and perhaps in time it will stir in Voolvif again.

Vulver as well another contrast to what one would consider of Shistavanen, though like Voolvif he's an exception, a deep thinker and with the truth and wisdom that were he a Force Sensitive, he might well have made a good Jedi himself. Were he ever fishing on Dabogah at some point in later years and was sensed by Yoda, I imagine they might have an interesting conversation.

Beautifully expressive Shistavanen faces once again, though that's to be expected.

Such was allways my personal point of view on how the Jedi originally were meant to be. Mostly advisors, helpers in times of strife, healer and savekeepers of peace, only raising the lightsaber, if there is really no other means of solving a problem, but only to defent those, who can not do so themselves. Jedis would have once a deep connection with creation in itself, deeply rooted respect for all and any kind of life and seeking for enlightenment in the force through good deets and meditation. Seeking to help to keep all things in some kind of balance.
In their late years, they had turned into a political direction, more like warrior monks like the temple knights once had been, with some added honor codex like the samurai had. They had seen themselves as granted and that it would be usual for them to stand proud, thinking, their presence alone would be enough to keep things in check. But that at the end let them forget to look what was going on right in front of their eyes.

Vulver´s backstory is a tragic one, but it will be revealed soon. Here we have some flashbacks on the pasts of the whole howling cerberus crew.

I have enjoyed seeing the character building a lot in your fan comic here ^_^

Thanks much.
