Here's the completed scrap: Ben Skywalker, from the Legacy of the Force novel, Exile. Not really an illustration so much as my idea of what he's going through: having to make some difficult choices between doing what he believes is "expected of him," and what he knows in his own heart is right... The backdrop is metaphorical, representing the darkness pressing in on him--but there is still light (the shaft to his right, on his face--and within him), demanding that he consider his choices carefully... Probably a bit over the top philosophically for fanart, but there you go... :) Thanks for taking a look (and especially for those that look again! :D )!

Aw thanks!

I thought it was interesting that Ben chose to wear the braid, as well--I think it was a symbol of the respect and admiration he then had for his cousin...feelings that would soon change dramatically... I'm glad you like this, and truly appreciate the :+fav: for it, as well! :D Thank you!

Gosh, you're really good at desiphering those underlying emotions. I'm so impressed and overwhelmed by the realism of it all. *snaps* Bravo, FalconFan :)

I love how picturesque your drawings are; they aren't just beautiful, they're also elicit a deep emotional response. What emotion exactly, I have no clue, but whatever.
You capture expressions like no one else I've seen. You did this without a model?

"they aren't just beautiful, they're also elicit a deep emotional response."

Perfect! Just what I love to hear: emotion is something I try to put into every drawing (usually because the scene or moment I'm trying to convey is emotionally charged for me), and it's great to hear it's coming through (...even if it's undefinable!). I actually DID have a model for this piece--I found it online, at a site that offers images for sale. It was the perfect pose, the perfect expression of hope and despair together, and it was ideal for this drawing of Ben. I'm glad you like this one, and truly appreciate the comments and the :+fav:!

Thanks so much! This was inspired by the book narrative--it just seemed like such a lot for a young man to deal with, and I was amazed at how well Ben managed to hold up under the stress of his responsiblities and all the expectations placed on him by everyone else... I'm glad you like it, and very much appreciate the comments!
