Most of my Star Wars paintings tend to focus on the armored and faceless characters for a few reasons. One, it's way easier to draw a Stormtrooper than nail a likeness of Harrison Ford. But really, I also think the armored characters are just more fun to do in a visual medium.

But with this painting, I wanted to try and do a hopefully dynamic shot of one of the human characters. I chose Lando because I love Cloud City and all the great atmospherics you can play with there. The likeness here is based on some photo reference I found of the great Billy Dee Williams.

This is a really dramatic shot. I LOVE the character, and this really does Billy Dee justice.

Pretty awesome. Is this an illustration of the day he lost the Falcon to Han during a card game? That would explain his sad repose.

It could be! Luckily he has a whole Vegas-like city and some very grateful citizens to keep him happy.
