I've drawn a soft Kylo Ren, but I really wanted to draw a fierce one too.
There's a lot been written about the symbolism used in TLJ to represent the two halves of this protagonist. Kylo's element is fire, and in this savage throne room fight he is literally surrounded by it, absolutely feral, using every last bit of his rage and pain to fuel his power. It's a clever bit of cinematographic suggestion; we should have known, as soon as that room caught fire, that Kylo would never listen to Rey's reasoning. His element was too ascendant, and he's entirely enthralled by the siren song of the Dark Side, entranced by his visions of bringing the galaxy to heel.
It's no coincidence that his redemption only comes when he's literally drenched in water.
About 8.5 hours of drawing time.
