Sith Lords Anima and Fenrir

ATTENTION: This account is now inactive. Please check out my new one here [link]



This a painting of my OC Darth Anima and my friend's OC Darth Fenrir. They are both Sith Lords, Anima being the master and Fenrir being the apprentice. They are part of a slightly alternate Star Wars universe, similar to a lot of my characters, and they are somewhat written into the actual plot of the movies/games/books. They were in power about 300 years before the events in the prequels.

Anima was originally a Sith Hunter with the Jedi Order. However, her constant exposure to the Dark Side eventually caused her to fall. She is now a Sith Lord. In my alternate Star Wars universe, she is the original master of midi-chlorian manipulation. She achieved such complete domination of her midi-chlorians that she gained physical immortality. She is actually around 80-100 years old in this picture, but she has halted her aging. Her incredible strength in the Force (We're talking stupidly strong. Anima is a bit of a broken character.), she is also a talented duelist. While she doesn't have much physical strength, she makes up for it with an unpredictable and unique lightsaber form. This form, which I still need to name, focuses on Anima's variable configuration lightsaber. It has three different forms. There is the two lightsaber form (shown). the saber-staff mode, where the two lightsabers link to form one double bladed lightsaber, and what I have dubbed the "light-kusari" where the two sabers are linked by a long cable and Anima uses the smaller lightsaber as a ranged weapon. She was originally trained in Makashi, but has adapted her style. It now focuses on on-the-fly form changes. For example, she will start in dual-blade mode and do an obvious spinning slash at an opponent. When it's blocked, instead of bringing it around for a strike with the other blade as expected, she unhooks the sabers and continues the spin around her opponent into a stabbing motion. I have plans to do a quick animation to demonstrate this. Oh, plans. Why must you fall through so often?

I don't have much on Fenrir, since I just designed what he looks like. Anima found him on his home planet as a very young orphan, cliche, bla bla, raises him to be a Sith. Fenrir is a more classic duelist, and uses the standard one saber approace. He's better at dueling than the Force, but he's still pretty strong in the Force. He carries the lightsabers of Jedi he has defeated on his belt (at a request from my friend. Random trivia that no one cares about but me: the rightmost lightsaber on said belt is the old design for Anima's lightsaber)

This is actually a redesign of these characters. It was just a thing to see how much I've improved in drawing and in cg. The originals were one of the first things I ever colored with GIMP. Much happier with the designs now.

Done in SAI
Time: around 7hrs

EDIT: shit...forgot to put the resolution up. Now it doesn't look good. The lines are all jagged. FML TT-TT
