The Wraith - Imperial Sovereign Commando
Full Res of the cover image.
Did a winter themed image for Christmas.

The Wraith holding his E-33XR with his trusty seeker droid, Z0-26, or "Zee" at the ready.
His Jetpack is meant for short bursts, to hop from place to place or scale moderate distances quickly. It is also modified with side boosters to assist in acrobatics when needed. Zee also has a place to dock inside of the unit.
His gauntlets have modular attachments for different mission parameters. Here we see a lethal heavy blaster bolt that can pierce even heavy armors or even light vehicles.
The E-33XR has an arc-blaster and can be modified for overcharge projectiles as well.
His right gauntlet carries a deployable personal shield, modified from older Mandalorian technology. A small window allows him to fire his blaster through while in a defensive position.
While not a Force-wielder himself, the Wraith was trained in hand to hand combat by the Emperor's Royal Guard captain; who's lightsaber he kept as a trophy.
Zee is able to deploy non-lethal shocks to incapacitate an opponent or even disable other droids or electronics.
The shield is strong enough to repel a few glancing shots from a lightsaber, but not in a sustained engagement.

My take on my own personage. Had this character in my thoughts and on paper for a while, so I decided it was time to make him / me digitally.
My face in it's natural expression. Used Vface and TexturingXYZ for the base of the skin, and panted additional maps and details in Substance Painter
PreFlight: The Wraith in his TIE Apex hangar, inspects information on a data pad given to him by one of his officers.
The telescoping extension to his lightsaber is made from stolen Mandalorian Beskar.
His gauntlets, at least the base, is made of an even more rare metal: cortosis.
On his left pectoral armor plate, the painted markings of his rank as admiral, as opposed to a physical plate.
The Z0-26 Seeker droid, or "Zee", is able to shock, hack, and recon for The Wraith.

Did some lighting tests for the fun of it. This one is the most realistic in my opinion.

Captain of the 128th TIE Interceptor Squadron at an early age, "The Wraith", as his squad-mates called him, and his special use of tactics were noticed by VIce Admiral Thrawn in the early days of the Empire. Thrawn took this pilot and further sculpted his tactical and strategic abilities into a polished and seasoned veteran.
The Wraith was then trained by the Emperor's Royal Guards in hand-to-hand combat, in an effort to promote the ability to create the perfect soldier: A brutal and ruthless warrior, combined with the strategic mindset of the Empire's most seasoned upper echelon.
