Albino Wookiee Speedpaint

Description

1.5 hour bust speedpaint of an albino Wookiee. I have a plan for an albino tech/demolitions specialist as a member of Taloombray's military troupe. No one particularly important, but filler for greater backstory depth. I dunno if this sketch will represent that character, but aw well.

So, for those of you who are not as obsessively enmeshed in Wookieeness as I am, albino Wookiees are rather rare. Not only are they genetically rare as albinos are in general, but Wookiee culture is heavily biased against albinos and other very light fur colors.

Albino cubs or cubs of extremely light fur colors are generally considered a bad omen in the hunter-/warrior-based culture where camouflage is necessary to successful life. It was common for albino cubs to be abandoned to the forests where they would "meet death before they learned fear". That practice is no longer as common as it used to be, but its not unheard of.

This individual is either old or has some sort of thin fur issue. Also, Wookiee ears! Yes, they have them, and according to the one canon piece depicting a shaved Wookiee, they are pointed.

I'm not 100% pleased with this and will both revisit it and eventually put it in scraps
