Well done...I like the ferocity and madness you captured in all three characters' expressions. The starkness of this is accentuated by the tricolor scheme you have going on here. I'm not sure if you've read the Phasma novel, but the way you've posed her really seems fitting given that she came from a "tribal warrior" sort of background on a world called Parnassos. (Or something like that.) You also captured that neurotic "evil OCD" look on Hux.

To me Kylo Ren isn't quite as striking in terms of expression as the other characters, which I wish weren't the case given the incredibly powerful facial expressions we see from Adam Driver. I don't really see the conflict or really get that much of an emotional read from him on this as I do with the other two characters...he looks a bit blank/dead. I think that with the minimalistic way you've done the irises/pupils, the powerful expressions on the other characters rely a LOT on the shading around their eyes, contours of the orbits, and the way you've put their eyebrows, but with Ren most of those things are hidden behind his hair and therefore aren't able to give him much in the way of expression.

That said, my absolute favorite element of this drawing is actually around Kylo: I love the way you used the Stormtroopers in the circular frame surrounding him, to suggest the teeth in the cog that forms the First Order logo. This is very, very fitting considering the way the First Order heartlessly brainwashes its troops from early childhood to use as unquestioning cannon fodder. Ground up in the gears of their war machine, so to speak.

Overall, I think this is good work. Losing Kylo's expression is why I rated the technique/impact slightly lower (that said I would not be able to achieve your level of drawing myself!), but the overall vision you had in mind was awesome, and especially what you did with that border around Kylo, which earns HUGE originality points from me. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=":) (Smile)"/>
