Artist's Notes: Was mostly thinking of doing things on the Ben and Poe side, as that's mostly where I do my work -- in the backstory. Mostly they're based off my story "The Broken Edge", a.k.a. my giant-as-heck backstory for Ben and company.

:D
Interesting choices! Am I imagining it, is it just a quirk of their faces, but- Poe looks a lot more... Finished in the various pictures. (?)

[ladyofleithian]

Thank you so much! And that's a pretty interesting observation re: Poe. Out of curiosity, what do you mean?

[barsukthom2]

Erm. He just seems more... Defined? A little crisper, a little (or a LOT) more there. Does that make sense?

[ladyofleithian]

Ah. That makes sense. Thanks. Am definitely going to keep that in mind for my other iconing stuff.

[barsukthom2]

It may be a factor of the actors, but... It does work in their case.

[ladyofleithian]

It does, huh? How so? (Just curious)

[barsukthom2]

Poe is, at least when we see him in the movie, a grownup. Ben/Kylo... is still working on climbing out of his adolescence.

[ladyofleithian]

Didn't really think of it that way, but well-said! Seriously.

[barsukthom2]

:D

(It doesn't hurt of course that GrownupPoe gets to be a superhero, and Ben's chosen authority figure... Wants him to keep thinking like a teenager.)

[ladyofleithian]

Exactly! I mean, you've definitely nailed both their characters.

[barsukthom2]

:D

[barsukthom2]

And speaking of Ben- I could swear I saw his younger sister the other day!

[ladyofleithian]

I'm intrigued -- tell me more!

[barsukthom2]

A remote co-worker; but she had the same lanky build and a very similar face. AND was dressed in black! :D

[ladyofleithian]

That is freaking awesome. Seriously.
