Recently my friend asked me to help design a Jedi character for his animation project. Since I didn't have my own Star Wars character it gave me a chance to think of one. Originally I was going to go with a Wookie but then I remembered and episode of the Clone Wars cartoon that had a tribal Wolf like species and decided to go with them.

The design is a bit basic, mostly made from the tribal design outfits from the cartoon with the usual Jedi shirt. When I showed my friend he went ahead and made a more battle ready design with armor based on one of the Star Wars online games. So I guess you could call my design his regular outfit and my friend's his war time outfit.

This is only a design as I have not though of anything else, no bio, history not even a name though that may change in the future.

***UPDATE***
Forgot to mention this, but for this pic I used a different method of inking with the Pen Tool then I normally use. For a long time I usually just create a Work Path for one side of the line, fill in a large shape then, convert to a selection, then contract it to the pixel thickness I wanted and erase the excess, that way I would get neat and uniform lines, though it wasn't perfect when it came to Points and Corners. This time I decided to try creating the line fully with the pen tool only with no selection contraction, this made a less uniform thickness to the lines which I noticed in other artworks looked more natural. It was an interesting experiment and it allowed for better looking points at the end of lines, but it does look a bit messy with the rest and is more tricky to do. I may try a combination of the two methods in the future for which ever areas would benefit from them most.
