Stunning Ben Kenobi, Desert Nomad Statue
Check out this incredibly awesome statue of Ben Kenobi, Desert Nomad. The statue was created by Joe Allard and Tom Gilliland, and it's a representation of Obi-Wan in the years between the films Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. The concept for the artists were to "imagine the life of Kenobi as he became the reclusive, mystical figure of Tatooine." They also went on to explain,
It also allowed us to have fun imagining both Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness as the character, but at different ages than we have seen them in the films.
The statue was sculpted in castiline and wax, with a sculpey base. Some of the lightsabers were sculpted by hand, and Tusken Raider weapons were output from digital models (which is why they look clear).
There's a lot of great detail, and I love how they managed to combine the look of both McGregor and Guinness. What do you think of it?
