a dog-eared town

Now here’s something you don’t see everyday.

Hey it’s Obi-Wan and Luke skywalker.

“With [Obi-Wan Kenobi], for a European feel I went for a more traditional knight, rather then the Asian samurai robes. I wanted the look of Kenobi’s head to look like a guy who had been hiding out and keeping low. I also wanted it too have the feel of an elderly warrior who put on his old armor for one last adventure. I went for a thinner frame, kind of Don Quixote-esque. I thought the antique armor worked as the Jedi are established as an ancient and dead order. I gave the armor the riveted steampunk feel. I also made it look old, tarnished, and little rusty. With the shoulder pauldrons and waist tunic, I tried to evoke the brown Jedi robes, I also felt they gave the armor a ceremonial feel. The lightsaber is connected to the same power pack as Luke.

But don’t worry, we also have the big bad meany, Vader.

Now that’s pretty cool.
