Crash Pad

Crash Pad

I don't get a lot of spare time to work on personal projects, so really enjoyed working on this last bank holiday weekend. This is a mood piece - more about atmosphere and colour rather than finish.

The idea is that during the empire expansion, a tie fighter crashed in one of the raids in the outer rim. Not sure if this is Dagobah or somewhere similar, but I liked the idea of a single or group of Jawas, who have traveled away from Tattooine looking for junk and salvage to sell on. They have made up a temporary living accommodation in the stripped out cockpit of the Tie Fighter. Wooden ramps and walkways lead through the swamps to dry land, the warm glow of the lights, penetrating the twighlight and what little light reaches the surface.
