my recent commission made by the wonderful kay_tee_kat on twitter :)

inspired by this, this and this post.

here are some notes on the piece:

– the hand caressing his face is meant to be both motherly and possessive

– he kneels in resemblance of prayer, with his hands close to his heart, looking up in awe, surrounded protectively by the force deity

– the water slipping out of his burned hands is meant to symbolise trying to hold onto a power that is too much

– the cape spills into the wave; the circle of water makes the shape of a crescent moon; the eyes on the body of the force resemble droplets

the overall piece and the colour scheme were inspired by numerous classic paintings and the robes are a romantic and knightly spin on the jedi leathers. i wanted the anthropomorphised force to come across alien and otherworldly, but human enough to clearly project the feelings of entitlement, love, and danger, akin to different mythological tales of gods and their favourite mortal toys.
