I've seen a lot of those half and half type pics depicting light side and dark side and I figured I'd give it a shot. The idea actually came to me when I was working on the Revan Meme that's out there. One of the questions it asks is what side is your Revan, light or dark, and my answer was "both" :D

But the picture became too big a project for a Meme (but I'm still probably going to use it). I didn't realize how hard this was going to be. It wasn't until after I drew the first rough sketch that it occurred to me how difficult this was going to be. So I broke out my mini light table and drew a straight line down the middle of a blank sheet of paper and laid that over my rough sketch, putting the line directly in the middle of Revan's face. From there I drew both halves of Revan's outfits. I overlapped the lines a little in the middle because I knew the chances of me scanning in the drawing with the center line perfectly straight were none ;p But I knew I'd be able to correct that with Paint Shop.

If you look really closely you can see the split in Revan's outfits is off maybe two degrees, hopefully you won't be able to notice it . . . .

So why did I just tell you :ohmygod:

I've also been wanting to draw Revan in, what fans of the game call, the Starforge robes. In the last part of the game while you're fighting your way through the Starforge to your final confrontation with Darth Malak there is the room where you can make special robes that boost your Force powers. My Revan can never wear those robes since I'm always too nuetral (not that I always choose the neutral options, I usually do good, but I love mind tricking people and that always earns dark side points :D ) Juhani is the only one on my team who could wear them. But I wanted to see my Revan in those robes anyway. Even if only halfway ;p

:iconcallista1981: did this beautiful drawing of Revan in the StarForge robes, which is what really got me wanting to draw them in the first place [link]

The pose I did seems to be fairly popular for Revan, I've seen quite a few deviations of it. Mostly notably :icontansy9: 's portrait of Revan [link]
I wish I had better centered the lightsabers, but most of my attention was on getting the split down the middle as perfect as possible, but I would say the off centeredness give the pic a little character :D

Not that it really does, but that's just what I would say ;p

Hmmm... I really like your revan, but one thing always bugged me in your pics... I know it's just your style, but i don't like the mouth thingie you do... I mean, i know that lips are rather difficult to draw, but here... they just look unnatural to the pic...


Anyways, great pic ^_^
