icheban responds:
Thanks! Glad you like it :D
That is the cutest goddamn rampage I've ever seen.
icheban responds:
Hahaha thanks
Always liked SW, but not obsessed like so many fanatics are. Regardless, this is easily some of the most unique art related to it I've seen in my life. Did anything in particular make you decide to put less detail on some things(Star Destroyers, TIE fighters?) Maybe to emphasize other characters/objects? I feel like there's a chibi influence here despite the lack of exposed faces.
icheban responds:
Hey Cleaver, thanks for the kind words!
To answer your first question; I decided to leave the objects which are further away as silhouettes since I wanted to show a somewhat large scene. I also spent much longer on this painting than I usually do so while I could have added more, I decided to leave it as is.
You're right about emphasizing other characters. I wanted Boba to be the star, so I spent most of the time detailing him.
To be honest, I wasn't even sure what chibi is (had to google it) and I must say, while I see how someone might compare my work to that style, it's not at all what influences me to do what I do. I'm not really a fan of anime (while I can appreciate some good art regardless) and don't really like to include my line art in most pieces.
I've drawn some SW stuff in a similar style to this piece and was just adding to the series if you will.
I would say I'm most heavily influenced by artists such as Bobby Chiu and the like.
Hope that answers your questions :D
Cool work. All the detail is just awesome. That and it doesn't hurt that I love Star Wars, lol.
