If you've ever wondered what lesser known but much loved Star Wars characters might look like rendered in Plasticine, then we have good news. Illustrator Elliott Quince's new book, Plasticine Tatooine, features fan favourites such as Nien Nunb and Max Rebo (above) rendered in all their brightly-coloured, finger-printed glory...

"Thousands of illustrators have depicted the cast of Star Wars over the years, so in a sense what I've done here is nothing new," writes Quince. "However, it tends to be the more famous characters that most people choose to draw; the likes of Darth Vader, Chewie, C3-P0, Luke, Leia, Yoda, and Boba Fett."

Bib Fortuna

"What I've decided to do, to make this project different, is to select a bunch of the more random cast members and imagine how bitter they must have been at not making it big, how badly they were treated on set or how cruelly their lives have panned out since the movies were released. Oh, and just to make sure the project really was unique, I decided to make all of the characters out of plasticine!"

Quince is an art director at 300million and also a Star Wars-obsessed illustrator. The book, Plasticine Tatooine, is available for £4.95 from his dedicated site, here.

Cool! Anything Star Wars is always a winner for me. That green guy Ponda Baba - see site - is it just me or does he blatantly have male genitalia for a mouth?

Just when the world around you is making you fall out of love with Star Wars, something too gorgeous comes along.

Totally ace.

Personally, I agree with Tom.



It's vacuous, unintelligent projects like this that are dragging the tone of Creative Review down.



I'm sure i'm not alone in appreciating grown up design work on actual briefs for actual clients and yet you continue to cover dross like this.



What next, the Tellytubbies made out of potato prints?

I like it - and some very good likenesses.
@superfried: yes I think he does have male genitalia for a mouth :)

Wow, theres some really miserable gits commenting on this. I personally welcome quirky little projects like this, its fun, well executed and a nice way of looking at these forgotten characters.

If CR were to not showcase work like this we would be left with a whole lot of tedious pretentious bull**** with no comic relief, snobbery kills creativity, get over yourselves.
