Ways of the Force: The Grey

Abstract art can be utilized and performed by literally anyone.

Objective: You will be prompted to create a piece of abstract art based on the Grey Side of the Force. What is your character's opinion on the in between? Is it something they cherish or abhor? How does the ideals of balance affect your character? Is it more dark than light? Express what the Grey Side of the Force looks like to you personally. You can do this through watercolors, acrylics, sketching, sketchbook, markers, whatever medium you wish.

"Dark and Light Equals Beauty"

I was trying to depict that there is light and darkness in the galaxy, and both combine to create it. the darkness of space, and the light of stars and worlds. Therefore, thus representing the grey side of the Force, where both darkness and light are combined. As much as I tried to avoid it, I took on the Aing-Tii's perspective of the Force as a rainbow as well. As light and dark come together to create life and death, color comes in to add to the beauty of it all.

This was really hard for me xD

When I picture the Gray Jedi, I picture them like in the sketched picture. They are balanced on the outside to others but inside the Light Side and Dark Side continue a never ending circle, each side looking for the chance to overwhelm the other and turn the Gray Jedi down the path of Good or Evil.
