Art for Another set of Eyes by RensKnight
A long time ago, in a Galaxy far far away…
The Commander of the Knights of Ren has returned from a month of intensive training under Supreme Leader Snoke. The first task set before him: to defeat a group of Resistance forces in the vicinity of a remote agrarian colony, Dantooine. What no one, let alone Kylo Ren himself, expects is the beginning of a solitary war fought on tormented seas.
A war that you, a medic of rural Dantooine, never wanted to be drafted into.
In one reckless moment, Kylo Ren has created a world of trouble for himself--and you're trapped dead in the middle of it with no escape. Here begins the tale of an ordeal you have no choice but to share with the last person in the galaxy you would ever have chosen.
Surrounded by lies, some truths can never be spoken. But some truths may not have to be, to be understood.
-----
The captured medic (reader) sees through the eyes of Kylo Ren. Connected through an “accidental” force bond when he reads her mind. She is a medic and he is the Master of the Knights of Ren. But now she is also a Knight of Ren. Ren´s Knight.
I had never read this kind of story and I am honoured to be asked to illustrate it. The feelings it evoques are so real, so raw and the force bond with the two characters is so intense So detailed and well written.
I wanted to represent their both worlds, in a Universe where Dantoinee with their moons mirrors the two personalities, bonded, connected and yet different.
The readers suit is has a design inspired by the authors own. Here. www.deviantart.com/rensknight/…

Again, this is an amazing story and I feel honoured to have been able to illustrate the concept art.
This song by Within Temptation acompanied me in the painting process and it´s so close to the feeling of the story.
“A Shot in the Dark” part of the lyrics www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLz61g…
I've been left out alone like a damn criminal
I've been praying for help cause I can't take it all
I'm not done,
It's not over.
Now I'm fighting this war since the day of the fall
And I'm desperately holding on to it all
But I'm lost
I'm so damn lost
Oh I wish it was over,
And I wish you were here
Still I'm hoping that somehow
Cause your soul is on fire
A shot in the dark
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater
It's all in my hands
What can I do
Don't let it fall apart
A shot in the dark …
In the blink of an eye
I can see through your eyes
As I'm lying awake I'm still hearing the cries
And it hurts
Hurts me so bad
And I'm wondering why I still fight in this life
Cause I've lost all my faith in this damn bitter strife…
