A very belated Star Wars day post here - it turns out that a double portrait takes twice as long! I managed to finish today, so here’s a painting of my favourite Star Wars siblings, done as a companion piece to my portrait “” from earlier this year.
Painted on Procreate in mixed media - mostly oil paints and charcoal on gesso canvas.
I really like the old EU Skywalker-Solo family (Jacen, Jaina, and Anakin). I’ve been reading a lot of old Star Wars novels lately, so that probably contributes to why I like them so much.
I initially was going to queue this for later in the month… but it is Revenge of the Fifth. I thought I might treat y’all early, even if that means a longer wait for the next update.
Now for another mystery: who combed Leia’s hair into the clone-wars-anakin look this update? (I’d like to think it was Proxy.)
I really liked the title of “Lady Vader” given to Leia in the original Thrawn trilogy–and that Leia was somewhat uncomfortable with it. Leia got this title from the Noghri, but I like to headcanon that children of Sith traditionally inherit their parents’ title, even without becoming Lords through training.
This attaches to another headcanon of mine about the Sith: that their use of the Dark Side is akin to injecting themselves with poison over a long period of time. The result is significant damage to their bodies, which is somewhat reflected in canon. This would make it exceedingly rare for a Sith Lord to have a biological child.
