Sometimes you feel like a Hutt (sometimes you don't)
Hutts are fun to draw. They have so few defining features that those that they do have can be varied and greatly exaggerated to good effect. And perhaps, agreeing with the classicist artists who claimed that heftier women were more fun to paint than thin ones, the pillowy nature of a well-fed Hutt is too much fun for any Star Wars artist to avoid.
Big ones have built in arm rests. Thin ones might have necks. They can recline on couches, float in bubble baths, and lean hungrily over banquet tables. They are petty, selfish, scheming, conceited, and born with silver spoons in their slimy mouths--yet they are giant slugs, inherently comical.
So this is a big "thank you" to all the Hutts out there for giving the galaxy such a fun species to play with in art, fiction, and roleplaying games... although they might not understand it, since Huttese has no means to express gratitude.

Thanks Eclipse! I know I've got a ways to go to get my stuff up to snuff with the quality of work normally produced here on SWAG, but I'm excited about the chance to improve and pick the brains of you photoshop genies.

Welcome to Swag Thriggle! Some nice sketches there, I particularly like the idea of the "Hutt in a Bubble Bath", I'd love to see you develop that further.
