Jonathan T. - Love

I titled this image “Love” because of HK-47’s quote on the image. It was taken inside my house with an iPhone 4s for the Still Life project. I edited it by reducing noise and using the paint brush tool to shade regions of the image for dramatic effect. I also used the text tool for the quote. It could be better if the shading was done better and in less of a hurry. Anyways, for those who don’t know, HK-47 is a unique assassin droid from the Star Wars universe, specifically from the Old Republic Era in the Knights of the Old Republic and Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords video games. In the first game, you play as (spoiler warning) Revan, a Sith Lord who had his memory wiped, and meet this awesome droid called HK-47. HK-47 is a unique model, uniquely programmed for assassination protocols. In the second game, you play as the Exile (canon: Meetra Surik) who was a General under Revan, and you meet HK-47 after you repair him using parts from destroyed enemy HK-50 droids. HK-47 becomes distressed about his model being copied in the HK-50 units, but that’s beside the point. Basically, HK-47 is an awesome assassin droid that has a good sense of humor. His humor is present through that one quote I chose to display through the image. I chose an ammunition box and controller for the subjects because it shows how HK-47 is from a video game and he uses guns and stuff. I wanted it to be a really dramatic photo with a comedic edge, thus the shading and the addition of the quote.
