Liam Sterling's "Obese Trooper" is a thought-provoking and visually striking piece that challenges our conventional perceptions of the formidable Stormtrooper in a masterful oil painting style. Within this artwork, the once sleek and imposing figure of the Stormtrooper undergoes a profound transformation.

Rendered in a palette dominated by dark and creme hues, the artist emphasizes the stark contrast between the imposing silhouette and the vulnerability of this reimagined Trooper. The obese, unhealthy, and chonky rendition of the character defies the traditional image of unwavering strength and agility, provoking introspection on our societal standards of power and beauty.

Through the style of an oil painting, Sterling prompts us to contemplate the complex interplay between identity, body image, and societal expectations. "Obese Trooper" serves as a poignant commentary on the malleability of iconic personas, urging us to consider the multifaceted nature of our perceptions and the ever-evolving boundaries of what defines strength and heroism. This captivating artwork is a reminder that even the most imposing of figures possess hidden dimensions of humanity.
