This took me four and a half hours to do, entirely in photoshop. This is a detail picture of General Grievous from the upcoming Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of The Sith.

He is the supreme commander of the Seperatist Armed Forces, trained in lightsaber combat, even though he can't use the force. His homeplanet, Kalee, was devastated in a war in which their enemies, the Huks, called upon the Jedi for support. The Republic imposed sanctions on Kalee, which was relatively rescource poor compared to the Huks, which Grievous still thinks is the reason for the Republic's reason for intervention. His planet received a rather dubious salvation from the Intergalactic Banking Clan, which supplied Kalee with food and other resources, as long as Grievous helped ...persuade those who where late on payment for large loans. Darth Tyranus began to take interest in Grievous' military career, but considered Grievous' sense of honor to be a major character flaw. Tyranus had Grievous' shuttle sabotaged, and used this as an excuse to convince Grievous to join the Sepratists, and to rebuilt him with a body made for killing Jedi. But unbeknownst to Grievous, his only condition to the deal (that his mind be left intact) was not honored. He can no longer truly feel any emoptions except for hatered. He no longer has his strong sense of honor, leaving him as just a ruthless killer, slaughtering entire worlds.

Even though the movie hasn't even hit the theatres yet, Grievous has already taken a place as one of my favorite characters in Star Wars. From the info I've been able to gather, he's a character who really enjoys being an cruel, ruthless bastard. I *love* characters like that ^^

Check out the Star Wars official site for some pictures and a bio for Grievous. Also, with the new site layout, you can refresh a couple times to find a really good pic of him in the background.

EDIT: It's small, but just because I'm feeling a bit more vindictive twoards the Jedi than normal, I added a reflection of Kenobi in Grievous' eye, with a kind of "Oh, shit..." look on his face. It just fit so well...

EDIT 2: MAJOR EDIT. This is just the first, really. I haven't finished touching it up, but this complete overhaul was courtesy a new TV spot that I downloaded, which shows a really good closeup of Grievous' eyes. I completely replaced the skin, recolored the armour in the corner, and added in the sclera, and tweaked the iris color and pattern.

EDIT 3: Fixed the color on the eye... I looked at the refrence shot again and I had it too dark...
