Description
Did a sketch ages ago of a light side sith warrior I played in SWTOR.I liked the idea of a lawful sith. Infiltrating the empire and changing their course from within, while they try to manipulate you and the republic sees you for the chaotic monster you pretend to be and are bent on your destruction. It gives a small sense of what true sith were meant to be (Well at least I think so). Their true nature and intentions in combat and diplomacy always obscured until revealed at the moment of their choosing. Forever resisting the urge to feed upon their passions and give into their true nature that would lead them to their freedom, but would ultimately destroy them.
Anyways here's the result of couple hours in Photoshop.

The idea of a light-side Sith has always intrigued me, too. Swtor gives you a chance to see what that might look like, but even with the pre-set choices of an MMO, you can get all these different versions of the presets... differences in motivation and personality quirks that wouldn't come out in the gameplay alone.
All that to say, I like the version of light-side Sith you've come up with. And he (she?) looks great. XD The lighting is stupendous: the glints on the armor, especially the silvery parts on the mask, are really well done and catch the eye instantly, and the contrasting orange light from the left and shadow on the right add to the atmosphere.

Thanks! There was something about the Sith not being entirely evil, but more of a lawful evil, that intrigued me.
Following a logical and productive path to power that is often seen as cruel.
The game especially into the expansion became this limiting choice of either dark or light was a bit of let down.
I like the idea of beings comprised of light and dark, that seem conflicted, but in balance at the same time.
So in a way I'm thankful that I was forced into a character that felt more complete being only light, but sad that the lawful dark choices were only in my head.
Playing through as a character that had to hide his features for fear that he would be exposed as an agent of the light,
yet still using his anger and loss to fuel his rage in combat to protect the ones he loves, yet still knowing by doing so would be helping
the same regime that he despises. Rising in the ranks to a position where he could bring down the tyrannical structure.
Yet seeing the effective superiority of the Sith and the Empire. Man, I could write a mountain of books around such a character.
