Star Wars – Mutiny
16th Dec 2021 0

Mutiny is one of the illustrations I made for the Star Wars game by Fantasy Flight Games back in 2018.

Like a throng of other artwork I’ve made in the past few years, I never got around to post it, so there you go, you get to see the old stuff.

Mutiny is based on The Last Jedi, and while I always put some trivia and context around the illustrations I make for Star Wars, I have to confess I’m not entirely on board with the whole sequel thing, so I’ll have to skip this one.

In fact, if you held me at gun point asking me to sum up the three movies in a few sentences, you might as well pull the trigger straight away.

I didn’t really bond with the Rey character, I didn’t quite understand the whole plot, I was upset by the inconsistencies in the writing and, well, I don’t think I re-watched any of them.

BUT.

Poe Dameron wasn’t bad, and luckily it was him the guy who I got to draw from this movie. Plus, I really like Oscar Isaac, so there’s that.
On top of everything, he has some nice and bold facial features to draw, so I did enjoy drawing this.

And lo! I did keep the sketch.

So, about the mutiny.

This is the bit when Poe, unhappy about the passive tactics of Vice Admiral Amilyn Holdo, together with Rose Tico and a few other decides to take things in his own hands.

Unfortunately the focus had to be just on Poe, so I didn’t get to draw the Vice Admiral’s face, who also had interesting features for a portrait.
But hey, here’s her pink hair instead.

Interestingly, I had painted Poe’s father a while back, Kes Dameron.

Also mildly interesting, I just looked up Kes on the Star Wars Wiki and I noticed that they used the illustration I made, which is pretty nice.

Anyway, I just realized that I’ve been posting a lot of Star Wars things recently, so I’ll take a break from that for a little while.

Some of the artwork I’ve made for Wizards of the Coast has just been teased, so next week I’ll post some Magic the Gathering things instead.
