obi-wan kenobi commissionby *strongstuff

Fan Art / Digital Art / Vector / Movies & TV

this was my final commission of 2010, the pimp daddy of OT coolness, obi-wan kenobi!

i love this character in every period of the star wars saga, so i was psyched to have been commissioned to illustrate him.

the client asked for a straight up body shot and i chose to depict "old ben kenobi" just before the fateful duel with his former apprentice. much like the old jedi himself, i wanted to keep the pose calm, confident and understated rather than go extreme with the action.

"you can't win, darth. if you strike me down, i shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."

Ok, I just love everything you do, apparently. But Obi Wan was always my favorite too.

i like it

I absolutely love it!. I like the slight angle and the decision to make the whole thing earth tones rather then the cold white and grays.

Beautiful...

Hm, your illustration style is as amazing as usual;
still, I think his head/face expression does not quite fit the original Ben - it is rather reminding me of either Dooku, or the priest from The Fifth Element.
It lacks the wisdom and the... soft, gentle warmth the old Ben so often administers to Luke

Get it?

But, after all an absolutely amazing piece of art. Keep it up!
