Jedime's Po' Boy Star Wars Customs


 

UrSema-Du

(from Unknown Soldier)


 

UrSema-Du is a character who hasn't actually appeared in any stories. After seeing her in Unknown Soldier, which is an article about the history of General Grevious, I realized she's based on comic artist Jan Duursema. While looking for other pics of UrSema I managed to uncover the history of the character. Apparently Joe Corroney created that character and put her in a shot with Kai Justiss for a Wizards of the Coast project. I'm not quite sure of the details next, but Jan either didn't like the idea, or didn't want a character based or her or something, and in so in an article about the Jedi who died in the Battle of Geonosis, or maybe it was a list of Jedi who Grevious killed. I can't remember which - I know I've read it, but I don't know where, or what it's called. UrSema-Du was added to the list. Character dead, case closed - right? Apparently not. While the character wasn't resurrected, a focus on Grevious's whereabout during the Battle of Geonosis mentioned that he killed UrSema, and a pic was included.
So I don't know if Jan likes her Jedi doppleganger or not, but since she's been a site vistor, and since I think I have more customs of her characters than any other SW artist (she's at least in the top three) and since she was extremely nice when we met at Celebration III, I figured I'd do this homage. I couldn't find any shots of her below the waist, so I didn't repaint the legs. Perhaps Ms. Duursema can let me know what color she wants them to be :)
