Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker




It had been a while since I had made any Star Wars characters, so I decided it was time to add a few more to the collection. While still based on the look of the Lego figures, I have started to move away from that look a bit more. The costume designs of these characters, as well as the hair styles are more based on movie referance pictures rather than on the Lego characters. For these two figures, I decided to give them rounded shoulders rather than the sharper angled shoulders that were used on some of my previous Star Wars figurines.

This is actually the third Luke Skywalker that I have made. I wasn't really satisfied with the first two, but I like this one. I added touches of gold paint in his hair that look really nice when the sunlight hits them.
For Obi-Wan Kenobi, I was planning on adding a hood made out of felt, but I was not able to find the right shade of brown that would match with the paint. Oh well. He's good enough!
