Description
While this character of Snoke has wrought all manner of evil upon his sphere of galactic core worlds, I thought..what if this man..this being..?..had at some point long past, had of actually been a good man, one who never thought that his world would change so much and so irrevocably and horribly differently than the one he had imagined for himself when he was younger. His face unscarred, untorn and with pallor, his demeanor once gentle and kind towards his fellow sentients and his heart holding a radiance of good. Over time the years of incredible hardships and horrible trials had ripped the 'good'..'the light' from his soul and led him towards the path that young Anakin had travelled all those years ago..the darkness had taken his soul and his spirit had turned to shadow and the light left his clear eyes never to return, his gentle nature had become totally bereft of any human sentiment or feelings because of a tortuous young adulthood by parties as yet unknown to us. Life can do this..it can change a human being into someone they never thought they would become..but in saying this..there is always a thought of regret in the person, somewhere deep within them and hidden from all others is that secret that if only..?..if only my life had been a different one and my past had not torn me from my family and all that I had loved and known and had set it into the path of chaos and insanity and cruel violence..if only I had of escaped the madness that I never saw coming over the horizon line?..'If only I had listened and I had known that to run from the incoming storm would have been my salvation and let me remain in the Light. 'If Only?' .....just a different take on this being and which is why in this painting I chose to give colour to Snoke's eyes instead of the light blue/grey/silver souless shine that they have in his film depiction..to try and show just a tiny hint of emotion and then tinged with thoughtful regret and or despair..he may have once meditated in an ancient Jedi temple at some point in his teenage years..again..as with the troubled Skywalker-Solo family, sometimes families can become lost and separated by life's trials and happenstance and if fortunate..may even find eventual redemption and truth.
