Description This picture I've been literally working on (on and off) for nearly two years.

The idea comes directly from the "Knights of the Old Republic" video game itself. When your character (Revan) goes to the Jedi Academy on Dantooine and starts training to become a Jedi, you're able to explore the world. There is this beautiful spring (which I did absolutely no justice here ). I originally wanted to have Revan, Bastila, and Mission in the spring, with Revan climbing out (very much like this) sensing danger nearby (there are lots of deadly creatures and Mandalorian raiders on Dantooine). Bastila would still be in the water but summoning her lightsaber and mission would be hiding in the water yelling at one of them to levitate her clothes to her or something like "some of us have modesty!".

That idea lasted for about half a year. I really couldn't sketch anything I was happy with. Then I just simplified it down to it just being Revan. Even still, I could not come up with a pose for Revan that would cover the important parts, well at least the top part, I knew I wasn't going to have any problem covering the bottom half. But I wanted to use her lightsaber to do it. It was extremely difficult trying to line up "everything" perfectly. And even now it's not a perfect allignment. Which actually turned out better since it shouldn't be perfect.

Revan has become a very important character to me. If I was going to do a nude pic of her I wanted to do it right. Even the pic I did of Revan in her underwear was more lighthearted and fun than anything. I wanted this picture to be . . . "honest" (for want of a better word). If Revan were taking a moment to relax in a spring and sensed danger would she reach for her clothes first or her lightsaber?

This is only the second time I "painted" a background with Paint Shop without using the "pencil" tools. The only things I drew in the pic were Revan herself, the bit of plant life, and the rocks she's touching. The first background I paitned was in my Katara pic [link] and even then I used the "pencil" tool or a pre-shape to do the moon. The waterfall gave me the biggest problem, and I most certainly overdid it The spring is not supposed to be that big and I made the waterfall look like Niagra Ah, well. But I did everything here on the same "canvas". If I were to remove Revan from this pic there would be an empty silhouette (with the exception of the lightsaber which was an after effect) of her against the background. Everything visible is all there is. The water dripping off Revan was also added later.

Revan's pose took a very long time to come up with. And I cannot stress how much I relied on 's photos for reference, in particular this series featuring this model [link] which you can find in their "classical nudes" gallery. It wasn't until maybe three and half weeks ago that I finally drew what would become my final sketch (this one) and the pose itself doesn't come from any specific photo. I came up with it myself, but I could not have made Revan's body look like this without those photos, so much love to and the beautiful Carly Champagne

And is it just me or does Revan kinda look like Megan Fox? Not a bad thing at all, but totally unintentional.

And yes she is anatomically correct, so for now I have no plans in posting the lineart.

Ahh... yeah I've drawn some poses from some of the star wars comics - the little SW clone wars adventure comics, not the graphic novels proper. I have a book of art nudes but I also have a how to draw star wars book that has lighting and people and such, but it escapes me. I get so frustrated. Sometimes I actually surprise myself and just draw mindlessly and come up with something actually *good*

As you draw more and more on your own you will develop your own style. If you do get frustrated just take a little break and come back to it later. For me I can usually just draw something else, but I also like to write and play video games to relax

Ok but why naked? I find it slightly sexist, being a girl. What point is there in showing her nude? What artistic value?

Well like Jospeh has said, it varies from person to person on thier tastes of what Women should look like and how they should act, even more so in artwork, some people are downright perverts and only want to see porn 24.7, and others are up-tight prudes who are more or less like Nuns, there has to be a balance. not too prudish but not too perverted either. like this pic for example, it has the right balance of both aspects, its to be prefectly frank, Hot to alot of guys including myself, because well the reason should be obvious, and yet it is not Porn, so the nin brigade shouldn't be called in to smack rulers on everyone's knuckles or something, its pretty much like a pin-up thats resonably tame, and yet still catches the eye. Which is why it is Perfect in my Eyes. GREAT JOB JOSEPH!! WHOO!!!

People do swim and/or bathe and they sometimes do it naked. Artistic value differs from person to person. If I just wanted to make a naked female I could have done a hundred or more during the time it took me to finish this one picture, from conception to finish product. But I do appreciate and welcome your voiced opinion.

Thank you very much. I guess I can admit that it isn't a pornographic pose, but it seems.... gratuitous - but then I've seen stuff on here that isn't even art, but porn masquerading as such. Great form, however, and I definitely respect your massive talents.

You're very welcome. I also love your icon I find you very talented, and love all your work. You are really, really, good. Plus, you like star wars, so yeah, extra coolness.

Hmm. If she sensed danger? I'd bet she'd be more worried about grabbing a weapon than her modesty

... But that's just *my* Revan. Might not be yours

*mjranum-stock is awesome! He has posted so many useful references

JosephB222 In reply to DarkJediPrincess [2009-08-19 03:34:43 +0000 UTC]

Well, as you can see my Revan opted to retrieve her lightsaber first

And most definitely, this picture would not have turned out nearly as good without mjranum-stock's material

I am in love. That's all there is to say about this. Spectacular pose, and a nice job on the background too! It really does capture the feeling of Revan quite nicely.

That looks amazing! From the pose to the musculature and even the point of view rocks. I hope you do manage to continue the piece with other characters, although Juhani might be a better idea than Mission. She seems a little young...

There is a bit of a resemblance, but only since you pointed it out.
The pose is great, and your rendering is excellent.
Would have loved to see the others as well, but....

Thank you. Yeah, I too would have liked to have seen this as I originally thought it up, but I was probably over reaching a bit there. I figured it would just be best to focus on Revan.

Sometimes, simple is better.
Still love your Revan, though.
