This is awesome. I've seen some awesome fanarts of Nihilus, but yours...yours is one of the best, if not the best. I say this because yours has...



1. A great background that actually works with the focus-point, something that seems to be rarer and rarer on dA these days since I've joined. The background is fluid, meaning it fits with the overall scheme, feeling, and image so smoothly it looks as if they have been together since birth. Which, in some ways, they have.



2. Nihilus: you've put a lot of detail into him, making him look like he does in KOTOR 2. But he looks better here. I like the pose, the sloping cape that smoothly engulfs him. The hand illuminated by the power of the force is a welcome addition to the picture, and provides a nice contrast with the background. I like how he's holding the very end of the saber's hilt--looks like a sure but eloquent grip. Furthermore, the mask is everything it should be--something creepy looking to hide the shadowed face beyond, which you have included in this image. Pretty nice with the details. Pretty nice.



What can I say? It's dark, it's sinister, it's Nihilus, and it's creepy. The only thing that seems odd is this empty, illuminated hand...it seems a bit large, but this is not something that I would change. It's cool looking, this way.
