Force-Suppression Clonetrooper [Casca1967]

Hey guys, since the last piece I requested turned out so well, I decided to come back to you with another request. I'm wary that it's a clonetrooper and may not interest or excite, but willing to give it a shot anyway. Basically, this clonetrooper was highly trained, and equipped with all sorts of things that would make detaining and possibly killing Force-sensitives easier and more effective. Obviously, this clonetrooper saw a lot of use immediately prior to and after the Great Purge.

As an example, I'm definitely after a clonetrooper that looks a little more unconventional and interesting, much like any of these clonetroopers look unique and eyecatching: http://jubjubjedi.deviantart.com/art/Star-Wars-Clonetrooper-concept-438…

Being that this clonetrooper would have to take on Force-sensitives, I imagine that the armour would be lighter and designed much more for maneuverability, agility and speed than a regular clonetrooper's armour might, probably more along the lines of a clone scout trooper's armour in terms of coverage.

The equipment of a Force Suppression clonetrooper is one of the primary defining characteristics. I'd like to see the trooper equipped with a combat shotgun with an underslung concussion rifle modification, since both multiple physical shots and a concussion wave are very hard to block with a lightsaber. As a secondary weapon, the clonetrooper will carry a cut-down stun rifle, modified into a pistol form. In terms of his task the trooper is much like a police officer, and as such carries a collapsible T-bar batton made of phrik, that may or may not have an electro-baton function. Perhaps similar to this one, but with more collapsible segments: http://www.batons.com/pr24.aspx

The Force suppression trooper also carries a shock whip, which I imagine hangs on his belt, Indiana Jones-style: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shock_whip

As for defensive equipment, the trooper has a pair of durasteel gauntlets that can generate miniature energy shields to deflect lightsaber blows. Durge had a pair of these in the Clone Wars cartoon: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Durge_using_his_energy_shields.PNG

Finally, the trooper has a pair of stun cuffs: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Stun_cuffs
And a Force Detector that I imagine would be clipped to the belt with the paddles hun on either side of the device somehow: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_Detector

As I said, feel free to be as creative as you wish with the actual design and look of the armour and helmet and the like, but if possible I'd like to see the character either in a good reference pose like that other clonetrooper concept picture, or in action with his equipment clearly on display.

Thanks for taking the time to read the post, I hope it incites somebody's interest.

Dude, Clone Troopers of any kind are NOT boring. Many find them both interesting AND exciting.

Unfortunately I have very little time to draw lately, so I will not take up this request myself, though it is a very interesting concept. Hopefully one of the other highly talented guild artists will see this through.

Hand-drawn and coloured, hrm? Well, I certainly like the style of the pictures in your gallery. I'd be glad to have you work on the request for me. Also, if you think of your own nifty ideas to incorporate into the trooper, being the artist you should feel free to add them. Thanks very much Casca.
