These little bastards are my favorite faction in the Dune series. They are characterized by bleached skin, pointy little teeth, and a lack of height. Notice he's got a dart gun stashed away in his sleeve should those stinking Bene Gesserit witches try anything.

I love Dune so very much, and this is such a wonderful visualization! *loves it*

Your art is so fascinating; such a strong, unique style!

Glad another Dunemonkey liked it! I was expecting "What did you do to the poor Tleilaxu!?!"

I always saw'em like Ugnaughts like in Star Wars (the midgets used in Empire Strikes Back), but with the Islamic mannerisms Herbert gives his characters, I suppose this is more appropriate. It's very elaborate and ornate, but I guess it could pass for the ropes and skull cap of a devout Muslim. Very strong feeling of texture there. It makes me think those robes are softer than velvet.

Wow I love Dune, this is really good, love the detail. The colours are brilliant.

Thanks! I tried to work a bit of the typical Dune covers color scheme into the picture.

Ahh, great interpretation. It reminds me of the original Dune covers (the ones that looked somewhat like a fantasy novel with flying saucers), only with your dark touch. :D
He looks simultaneously both comfortable and uncomfortable, I think it's because of his expensive looking costume and hunched, painful appearance. Very nice stuff. +fav

Thanks...these little bastards are my favorites in the whole series so I had to do something special with them :)

Haha wow, I hadn't read the original description in a long time and ended up typing the same thing in my answer as I did in the description. Oh well, I guess it proves my point.
