Hello, here are the results from my first propaganda piece[#1 being Dragon and #2 being Exogorth. After that are concept sketches(one by Thorn) for another piece. This time potentially being new republic era)

#1 depicts one unified serpent/dragon, coiled around the symbols of the republic and the empire.
The republic head of the beast is more gluttonous, having an immense underbite to consume more food. It also has a general blocky head, and its eye is more opportunistic. This represents the more complacently greedy nature of the republic, though it is still a dragon nonetheless.
The empire head is more angular, both literally imitating a star destroyer in terms of a side silhoutte, but also just being more sharply defined in general. It is also meant to look more gaunt, similar to Tarkin. Its eyes are more observant, watching to crush anything that smells like rebellion. Finally, its open screaming mouth mimics its doctrine of terror.

#2 depicts a unified Exogorth. There isnt as much symbolism there(and it lacks the nice color background because I saved it first and flipped the symbol order). I mostly made it so I could have one being a on-screen star wars beast.

#3 is a sketch Thorney made under my prior propaganda piece. This is important since I really liked the idea of the hydra, and I also would combine the background senate building into its body.

#4 is a small sketch in the same vein as #3, but this time applicable to the new republic, and also having a "republic of yore" head. This is mostly just to balance out the sides, but it also fits as an era, since this propaganda theme denies these really being different entities.

As for #5, you may have noticed that in #4 the New Republic head had a cloud with a ? in it. This is mostly because I need some feedback regarding how a new republic dragon's head should look. I also had an idea to leave it as a cloud, as if we are waiting to see how the NR turns out. But im less into that idea.

The general idea is to eventually digitize the idea with 4 or so heads, as a Sequel to this poster(which ironically are set in OT and ST respectively). I might also eventually do a CW era one, but then I lose most of the one beast symbolism ofc.

Anyways, any feedback regarding the propaganda posters and/or the future idea are appreciated.

Hello, this is a rough draft/concept design of a propaganda poster/flag(think Gadsden).

The general design concept is emphasizing the Republic and Empire as one enetity, but with different heads. It started as a tiny doodle to fill some blank space in a CIS oc reference page and evolved from there.

My first variant too the sketch and digitalized it. But then I had an idea of wrapping the beast around the symbols. Then I have a very rough position sketch version with dragon heads(which allows them to look different), and one using the in universe creature of the Exogorth/Space slug.

Two text variants are "One and the Same"(more direct) and One Beast(more poetic)

I'm sharing a few variants and also looking for feedback on things such as text(preference for One beast/One and the Same, head position/design, head type, etc.

Also, whether I should add any CIS symbols in a corner someone in a "made by" sense. Currently im worried it could distract from the overall look.
