Description 08.06.2014

About 90 hours of work over the course of a maybe 6 or 7 weeks, Revelations of the Revanchist is the second part in my Old Republic series inspired by the work of Drew Struzan. The poster is put together in an attempt to represent Revan's discovery of who he was, and the important people whom have had a large impact on becoming that person and the person he is upon the revelation. Below him is the destruction of Taris, which began him on his path to self-discovery. All the art was done in Manga Studio while the text and logos were in Illustrator and Photoshop. While it looks swell in 11x17 format, the detail on the 24x36 will be the most amazing as that's the size of the canvas I worked on.

I do commissions, yeah! With my work load, though, I can't do anything for free . If you're willing to commission, I could do a portrait or something of your character.

In the mythos of Revan, he was the leader of the Revanchists, group of rogue Jedi that joined the Republic army during the Mandalorian wars because they couldn't just sit by and watch innocents be conquered.

Wookiepedia excerpt:

The Revanchists, also known as the Jedi Crusaders, were a renegade faction of the Jedi Order  who assisted the Galactic Republic  during the Mandalorian Wars . In 3964 BBY , the movement was founded by the Jedi Knight  Revan , who wished to take a more proactive role against the invading  Mandalorian Neo-Crusaders . Under Revan's leadership, the Revanchist Jedi  went against the Jedi Council 's wishes and participated in scouting  missions on the Outer Rim . In thefollowing year , Revan uncovered the truth of the Mandalorian 's genocide  of theCathar  people. Although the Jedi Council did not give the Revanchists their full support, they begrudgingly allowed the Revanchists to join the Republic Military under the banner of a Republic Mercy Corps .

During the war, the Revanchists, under the leadership of Revan and his friend and fellow Jedi Knight Malak , led the Republic to victory in numerous battles. In3960 BBY , the Jedi ultimately defeated the Mandalorians at the war's final battle at Malachor V . However, most of the Revanchists that were not killed during the battle fell to the dark side of the Force  over the course of the next year . These Jedi followed Revan and Malak, now the new Dark Lords of the Sith , under theirnew Sith Empire . The two Sith Lords  declared war on the Jedi Council and the Republic, initiating the Jedi Civil WarThree years laterDarth  Malak was defeated by Revan, who was redeemed  by the Jedi Council, and Malak's Sith Empire was defeated  at Rakata Prime .

When selling prints of fan art you have to avoid directly using copyrighted terms and logos when having those things in your art.

It's a self-made movie poster for a movie that doesn't exist based off the story of Revan from Knights of the Old Republic.

Hahaha, and as you should! I'd be amazing if they could make a "definitive" edition of the game for people who can't bring themselves to go back that far in visual effects. Upres the models and textures, and people would repurchase the game for at least $30 bucks.

This is amazing. I love the way you placed Revan in the center and worked out from him to the people in the background it really draws the viewer in, beautiful lighting. I can see how this took you 90 hours to complete.

Hahaha, thanks! It was an endeavor for sure, but an idea I had in my head since starting the first poster. I'm going to be working on the third idea in my head while switching to a different project for a bit. Having some trouble deciding how to end his series. Glad you like it, though

So epic! It makes me want to experience Knights of the Old Republic again. One of my friends has KOTOR I on his computer, and I played a little of it once.

KPants In reply to Keyan-Korshunov [2014-08-07 00:56:07 +0000 UTC]

KotOR was a bit more limited an experience as far as WHAT you could do in the game than II, but it was by far the best story in any game within a 10 year period either direction. II had the cool stuff of dual sabers and what-not, but it was rushed out the door before they could finish the last quarter of the game they had planned, and it's story fell extremely short because of it. It's definitely worth playing the first game if you haven't, though.

Keyan-Korshunov In reply to KPants [2014-08-07 01:03:21 +0000 UTC]

I've played a little of the first one, but I have never played the second one. I've heard that the second one has a beginning where you're running around scantily clad.

Well, you awaken mysteriously after someone tries to poison you, but your bakta tank gets broken open and you're thrown to the floor. When you're in a bakta tank, you're going to be in your skivvies if anything .

Fantastic work, Revan and the KOTOR era is one of my favourites and Revan a great character which I think is worthy of getting his own movie.

KPants In reply to Majestic-MSFC [2014-08-07 00:58:13 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much! I'm right with you on that, along with Darth Bane and his escapades. I think he should have his own trilogy, personally. This is part two of the series, the first movie poster focused more on his past..before the KotOR game:

Majestic-MSFC In reply to KPants [2014-08-08 02:01:38 +0000 UTC]

I agree those would make great movies, I could see Revan having a trilogy that would work very well. The first could be set during his early years as a Jedi ending which his choice to defy the council and join the Mandolarian Wars, the second would be the war ending with the disappearance of the Republic fleet at the end of the war and the final would be covering his return and learning of who he original was, basically the game KOTOR. 

I think movies on Revan and Bane would be far better than a Boba Fett or young Han Solo movie. I wouldn't mind seeing a Force Unleashed movie, showing the creation of the Rebel Alliance and the story of Galen aka Starkiller. It used to be considered canon before Disney.

Well, I started the series with his Conquest period, traveling with Malak to find the Star Forge and eventually fighting Malak and up 'til his betrayal and "death"...this one covering the KotOR story pretty-much, and I'm thinking the last poster I do for this series will be his finalization via the SWTOR era. I haven't fully imagined it yet, though.
