Star Wars: Nightbrother Tattoos

Depending on who you ask, the iconic tattoos adorning Darth Maul's skin has different origins; in the Expanded Universe/Legends they were Sith tattoos and the process of getting them applied was excruciatingly painful. In the retconned Canon, all Dathomiri Zabrak males--Nightbrothers--have similar tattoo designs that indicate what clan they are from. Their skin colors can range from dark red, to medium orange, to bright yellow.

This set includes designs which are as faithful as possible to the source material. I used the original asset references from both Clone Wars and Rebels to piece together all sections of the body design. Maul's legs, however, are a different story. As he was bisected in his first appearence, we never had the chance to get a look at his legs, so I've taken liberties to guess what the tattoos may have looked like, taking inspiration from the rest of the shapes on his body.

I did not attempt to make the skin red/yellow in the tattoo design, as I wanted to allow flexibility with the kind of skin colour you may want to be underneath the tattoos, so the tattoo is just black with a slight opacity that allows skin details such as muscle definition to be visible. For the thumbnail and preview images I used skin colours from SunshineyDay22's 195 Skintones in Rainbow Colors mod.

Please note, these tattoos are for male frames only (Nightbrothers), firstly because those depicted with these tattoos in the Canon source material are all male, and secondly because the patterns would no longer be accurate/may be deformed if I modified them to work with a female frame to account for the breasts and other contours. Depending on whether people are interested, I may create a female specific version for these. Please add a comment if that's something you'd like to have.
