Fluri drew an aweome picture of her mousie gal as a Sith, and that inspired me to take another stab at drawing Mycroft as a Jedi. The last one was a picture cut-out, which had him fighting against a General Grievous action figure.
I decided not to ink this one, and instead go over then pencils a second time. I adjusted the levels a bit in Photoshop, but otherwise it hasn't really been tampered with. You can see that underneath and over his robes he's wearing some Stormtrooper armour. Basically my idea was that the empire collapsed, a lot of stormtroopers are out of work. At the same time, Skywalker is trying to rebuild the Jedi order. So perhaps some Stormtroopers had some force abilities, hmm? He only has the arm, thigh and chest pieces, as those offer protection without restricting his movement.
Normally he fights with just one light saber, the one held in his left hand. The blade is thick and solid, a bit shorter than more offensive lightsabers, but still longer than a short saber used for throwing. The hilt is wrapped in stained, tattered rags, hiding the detail underneath but providing a more comfortable, secure grip. He is a defensive fighter, not offensive. He shields himself from attacks and counter attacks, rather than rushing in. In fact, he prefers not to attack with his lightsaber at all. He allows his foes to pin him down, push him into a corner... and then force-pushes them through the nearest wall or window. Yup, he's not the most skilled padawan, but he can do force pushing and force whirlwinds like a master.
The second lightsaber is a more elongated, refined and elegant hilt, one which he spent a great deal of time, and care on. It was his first lightsaber, and features a much longer, thinner blade more suitable for offensive combat. So why doesn't he use it?
Because the blade glows pink.
The crystal looked orange, honest.
When he duel wields, he holds the green one in his left hand, often switching to a backwards (blade pointing back) grip and uses it defensively, using the longer more precise pink blade offensively. But he normally fights with one saber.

Note: Yeah, I do know that I forgot his tail. Perhaps it got cut off and he hasn't had time to replace it? Who knows.

I like it. Only question I have is why the two styles of blades? one is the more classic "tube" while the other is a more "lazery" style.
