Create your own Jedi or Sith based on a species of aliens from the Star Wars universe! Hope you don't mind Fedora,I'm going to step in slighlty and add the stipulation No Humans! With such a wide variety of characters it'd be a shame to take the easy route. There's plenty reference out there so go nuts. Any medium you want.
Voting will close in one week from the day of this post -- Friday March 30, 2012.
May the Force Be With You!

Fedora The Explorer created a Bio for his entry to this melee. This was not a requirement of the challenge, but he did take the time to make it. I've included it here for you to read. (This is for the Sith Ewok character he created -- 2 images up from this line).
Yub-Cha was a loner in his tribe, though being very talented at hand to hand combat and a very skilled linguist, he did not feel like he fit on Endor. He was excluded from most of the tribal ceremonies for the Elders feared his anger. One day a human came, in a dark cloak and took Yub-Cha away to be his apprentice. At the time no one knew what had happened until years later when he returned, carrying two lightsabers, a double-sided and one with his old spearhead attached to the hilt. Yub-Cha had become Darth Furya, the most feared Ewok in the history of the Empire. Furya massacred his tribe in a bitter rage. When he returned to Coruscant, his teacher and mentor, Darth Sidious had taken on another pupil, Darth Maul. Furya was outraged, Sidious reasoned with him of course and Furya helped his master train Maul, who upon completing his training, as a sign of respect to Furya carries with him, at all times a double sided lightsaber with which he killed the Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn. Darth Furya left Sidious on Coruscant searching for others to train in the ways of the Sith. He created a temple of sorts on a remote planet and trained many Siths. He is said to still be there, training and becoming one with the dark side. No one has seen him in over a century, his legend still lives on to this day.
I like it overall but I think your earlier draft was more promising. With your strong light sources some stronger shadows would have been nice and give your character more mass. Nicely drawn and great textures. The rock on the saber is a great touch.
