Description Remembering why George Lucas is my hero...
Even though his scripts are so very corny...


.....And, apparently, my computer is too slow to use dA muro.

Luke Skywalker is Copyright Lucasfilms Ltd.
Drawing by LAJ.

(No references used; which is why Luke looks more like Cloud Strife or someone... )

Nice! This is really emotional, and there just isn't enough Luke are out there these days. With all these fancy prequel Jedi we forget the power of a farmboy leaving the farm. ^_^ Very nicely done!

Why thank you! He's still my favorite, after all the new appearances.

Reference pics or not, this is one of the best Luke fan artworks I've ever seen here on dA.

I don't know how to describe it exactly, it's just... beautiful and full of emotion. There's something really poignant about it, you've captured the mood perfectly.

Someone likes Star Wars.


I honestly didn't see Cloud Strife in there until I read your Artist's Comment. I guess that's because Luke's head doesn't look enough like the back end of a Chocobo. (Not that Cloud's head looks like a Chocobo's butt or anything... /Shifty eyes) Luke's hair looks too flow-y and soft looking. xDD

Also HNNNNNNNNNNNNG THOSE COLOURS.

And someone doesn't like Cloud.

I think it was the hair, really. Too much of that visual-kei/FinalFantasy poof to it...

Yaaaaaay, color?

Nah, I like Cloud. But I also like poking fun at him.

Yeah, that sounds about right. Luke's a bit too much of a farm boy to pull off those kind of looks.

XD He does look like Cloud a little bit. But that's the thing about Fan Art, it's your own version of a fandom. So somewhere in the back of your mind, you want Luke to be played by Cloud. XD Awesome piece. Love the tonality to it.

I never thought of that... [Le Gasp!] Maybe I do!

I guess I do tend to prefer those stoic-type heroes over the OMGsoWetBehindTheEars wisecracky-young'uns. But I love Luke, I really do.

Thanks!

You're welcome. ^^ I love it when artists use only variations on a color to get the idea across.

Love it! The orange just works. He does look younger, but...that works too.

I'm glad! Mmm, meh. That's what I get for not using references, I guess.

Corny but very memorable.
I think he looks more his age, here. Isn't he supposed to be a teenager?
I really like it. The lighting is so dramatic.

True, true.

And so is that. I watched the movie for the first time in years today, and was suddenly struck by how incredibly naive and impetuous Luke seemed.
....I'm too young to feel like an old lady.... :/

Thanks!
