Jedi Knight Corran Horn

Description

First thing's first: The background image for this drawing was a specifically taken screencapture from Sony Online Entertainment's MMORPG, Star Wars Galaxies (it's actually a hall inside the lower level of Rayloth Zafner's home on Naboo; the world closest to Dandora'an, heh). Again, the background you see Corran standing in is, in fact, the property of SoE.

Okay, that said...

This is the first drawing I've ever done of one of the coolest Jedi Knights of the New Republic Era Jedi Order, Corran Horn. A former CorSec officer-turned-Rebel, Corran joined the infamous Rogue Squadron under the leadership of Wedge Antillies. An expert X-Wing pilot and resident squadron Force Sensitive, Corran joined Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy on Yavin IV in a desperate attempt to hone his budding skills as a Jedi in order to save his kidnapped wife, Mirax.

Corran's Force abilities aren't the strongest the galaxy has ever known--he has aboslutley no ability to use telekinesis; a trait most Jedi take for granted--so he has worked twice as hard to get to the roll he currently holds as Jedi Master. His lightsaber hilt is composed of the throttle assembly of a speeder bike and utilizes a rarely seen "Duel Phase" system which allows him to rotate a set of focusing crystals and double the length of his blade; normally silver in color and purple when lengthened.

All, in all, Corran Horn is a bad ass!

So, now for the artist's notes, if you will. First, a silver lightsaber blade is one of the hardest things to get right! Using just shades of gray and white look dull and uninteresting so I decided to add just a hint of blue to try and make it pop. I think I did okay. I also experimented with some new techniques for coloring on the hair, cloak and tabard. With the exception the cloak's highlights, I really like how this entire pic turned out.

I'm inspired to do more of my favorite Jedi who don't normally get the visual recognition as some of the others....Ganner Rhysode is on the top o' that list, by the way. Anyway, enjoy!

P.S. I know he's inside and his cloak is billowing. I'd originally drawn the image with no background in mind (actually, I hadn't set out to draw Corran in the beginning) but I think it still works. He stopped while walking down the hallway and spun to face a potential attacker.....or....the friggin' ac's cranked up! Hell, I don't know. I think it looks cool....dramatic....

Hey, if you don't like it...draw your own version! :p
