Fanart: "Sith Salvage"

[lumy12]

Title: Sith Salvage
Fandom: Star Wars
Subject/summary: Palpatine comes to Vader's aid on Mustafar. This was done for my Palpatine claim at saga_6. (Prompt: Grief) Comm post, for my reference since I don't have a tag there yet, is here.
Medium: Colored Pencil
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Notes: Some of the subtle things I tried to do with the coloring didn't work very well. Anyway, I wanted to do something a little more abstract than my usual pencil drawings, and I did at least succeed in doing that ^_^

Beautiful drawing. How sad that Palpatine was the only one to come to his aid. Of course, I suppose everyone else was dead or soon would be. I've always thought that Palpatine cared for Anakin on some level...I can hear your slashy thoughts, stop it...as much as it was possible for a Sith Lord to care, though I think that gradually faded later when it appeared there was no more Anakin left.

Thank you! *withholds slashy thoughts* I think he did too. Perhaps not as much as he does in Wendy Fantasyland, but still. He is human, and is possibly reminded of that at times...

Such a mood defining picture.... It matches my mood at the moment perfectly. Now... to go do something dark in the name of justice and peace....

Thank you for commenting :)
I guess I posted it tonight for a reason!

Yes yes, hitsuzen strikes again.

I'm going to let everyone wonder what that word means since I impatiently asked you on AIM. ^_^

Evil! The suspense is only going to injure people like me!

Oh, I LOVE this, Wendy. I think the fact that Anakin/Vader is not drawn in explicit detail is actually more powerful than if you'd gone into detail. This way the focus is, I feel, moreso on the hand - the point of connection, if you will - Palpatine has on Anakin's forehead.

The dark coloring is really, really effective. Great work.

Thank you, M! That's exactly why I wanted to do it in color... I can't imagine this working as well in my usual black'n'white style. And I wanted Palpatine to "pop" more than Vader.

[insert generic nagging here, btw]

Quite impressionist. There is a lot of feeling in that red smudge on the hill.

[luminations.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I usually go for a LOT more detail. Once I got over that urge it was fun to be more "free" with this.

[luminations.livejournal.com]

Thank you! ♥

I love being loved by you!

Thank you so much! I can see a parent/child relationship between them too, actually. I just tend to focus more on the slash instead. :)

I wish you could see the original, but that you could see so much in the scan really pleases me! ♥

And... WOW I'm in your memories! *squee*

[luminations.livejournal.com]

Really? You "memory" me? Thank you so much, I'm really flattered!

Wonderful realisation of Palpatine's hands! The glowing one especially.

And - is it just me, or does the Emperor had a halo/aura? ^_^ He's just a regular angel of mercy!

[ansketil-rose.livejournal.com]

had have!

[luminations.livejournal.com]

Thanks! He really IS an angel of mercy... kinda sorta... depending on how you look at it! :D
