Description A bit of Death Troopers fanart, because that book is XD. Some people found it creepy, I guess, but I was cracking up at some of the descriptions. Anyway, it's more entertaining than any other SW book I've read (okay, it's the only one I've read all the way through)

This is Jareth Sartoris, the main imperial. He's really a bit of a jerk (understatement), it's true, but he was one of the more interesting characters. His part of the story felt like it just got chopped off near the end, though, which is too bad.

There's only one Jareth that I know about, and that's the Goblin King. I was originally going to give him the David Bowie hair and stuff, but elected to make it a little more serious instead. I can draw Goblin King!Sartoris some other time.

Actually, given that most of the other imperials are named after rock stars and bands, could his first name be a convoluted reference to David Bowie? Maybe? *shrug*

Originally he was going to be surrounded by zombies, but I can't draw zombies without making them look grotesquely cute, hence the red eyes and hands instead. And since nobody but Joe Schreiber knows WTC an imperial corrections uniform looks like, I just made it a generic grey one.

My only real gripe is that he came out looking too young, when I'm picturing something in the 37-40 range. Ah, well. I can probably celebrate the probability that I've just done the first fanart EVAR of any of the DT cast. *woop woop*

Star Wars is (c) George Lucas, and Sartoris is (c) Expanded Universe and Joe Schreiber.

Well, Imperials rock anyway, be their names references to bands and singers or not
As for Sartoris, indeed he does look a bit younger than 40, but really, only a bit ^^ And the "don't f**k with me, I has zombies" expression totally makes up for it!

All he has to do is get up and do the Magic Dance (in this case, Thriller?) and the zombies are under his control. LOL

I think it's he's sexy pose that makes him look young. The hue of blond hair, too. Is he even described as having a "bleached blond top" or whatever.

The squareness of his chin, too. A weak face makes one think of a younger age. Possible drain him a little, take away just a bit of the roundness in his cheeks.

Then again, all of these is just me bullshitting. I like to bullshit, I'm no professional.

I didn't even think of it as a sexy pose! XD But maybe, just maybe...

There's no actual description of what Sartoris actually looks like; I was just picturing tall, blonde, and surly all the way through.
