Fedaykin Death Commandos

I figured that they would need protective sleeves over their arms and legs to protect the delicate parts of the stillsuit from exposure to rock and sand, since they are far more active than average fremen. I didn't want them to appear armored for combat, I don't think that was mentioned in the books, but instead I wanted to treat them like sand ninjas.

They wear inscribed clothing since they are raised in a very religious culture (much like muslim and christian warriors used to) as protection or blessing, and the round water counter-like jewelry. Fremen gotta 'frem yo.

God Emperor, Hwi Noree

God Emperor paint sketch+ original pencils in my sketchbook with bonus Hwi Noree pencils. I tried to use very threatening and upward triangle shapes for Leto but I left out the "winking face" part that's described in the books. If I ever revisit this I'll paint that part back in.

Foolin' around with a steersman concept. Not quite sure if I'm settled on it. Apparently they have batman utility belts and black leotards as well, but I've left those out for now...

From top left - Laza tigers; Fremen costume; Shai Hulud; princess headdresses; krysknives; chairdog; old steersman concept (outdated, I've since redesigned them based on the book descriptions more closely); Alia, from a scene in Children of Dune.
