I am pretty impressed by how rich the details are in the Star Wars figure of Obi-Wan Kenobi. It is only 5-6" tall - yet shows an impressive amount of natural face details. I am really fond of using "Obi-Wan" as my little experiment model for light painting (in the small). I might even get a couple more Star Wars figures, as the other ones, too, show natural faces / face details. Just in order to switch model on occasion.

It happens quite often that when i paint with light, wave with my tools, the figure moves (or falls down the table *LOL*). The above image shows how Obi-Wan moved during exposure. Bam ! Sometimes that looks OK, while other time it does not and i have to discard the photo.

Occasionally you get an impression of movement in the photo.

 

Ashoka Tano

Here are some figures from Star Wars i have in mind; Ashoka Tano is one of my absolute favorites.


 

 

Cassian Andor

Because he looks hunky *LOL*




 

Qui-Gon Jinn, Darth Maul, Younger Obi-Wan Kenobi

These three for some more action with light painting. At least one Villain I'll get. Otherwise I am not really into the dark, evil guys. Sorry. Albeit the classic of Darth Vader, i might get some day, too. I mean if i continue with this sudden, strange light painting project with Star Wars figures *grin*

But yeah... it is actually very fun to combine light painting with Star Wars characters, because their faces are so detailed. Something I didn't expect when I bought it (back then, when we had Carnival and i had a Obi-Wan Kenobi costume - i had also bought the miniature figure of Obi-Wan - which has been standing on the shelve ever since).
