Description
Chewbacca from Star Wars in Byzantine style. Enjoy!
Byzantine painting is a language as any kind of art and it doesn't necessarily express a religious statement. For me this concept of illustrating known (fantasy) characters in Byzantine way began as a mistake when I was trying to draw a prophet and the face reminded me of Saruman! Then I thought that it would be fun to try to depict a variety of characters in that way and I will continue this project as long as it goes. Nothing to do with Orthodoxy or any other religion though.

Wow....I sort of found this by accident while I was looking for examples of Byzantine art for class. I'm the first one to admit that the Byzantine style of depicting people is far from my favorite, but this is just cool. Sometimes it's just the context.
Btw, your Eowyn and the Dragon is pretty awesome too.
