We're Obsessed With These Sexy Stormtrooper Illustrations
You've never seen Stormtroopers like THIS before...
If you're a diehard Star Wars stan who also just so happens to love men, then you should definitely be following @FilthyClones on Instagram! (Thank us later.)
Australian artist and game developer Mitchell Manganaro is the mastermind behind the steamy portraits of shirtless Stormtroopers, and now that we've seen what the galaxy's finest soldiers look like underneath all that armor, we can't imagine a world without them! Anyone else suddenly really interested in joining the Empire........?
PRIDE chatted with Mitchell to get to know about his art and his sexy AF Stormtrooper illustrations!
PRIDE: What was the inspiration behind the @FilthyClones account?
Mitchell Manganaro: @FilthyClones was created to balance out the amount of Slave Leia art pieces out there on the internet (not really). It just started out because of a comment from a close friend when he saw my first piece. He mentioned "Filthy Clones and their iPhones," and I loved his comment so much. Even though the version of Stormtrooper helmets I am using aren’t clones, I decided to dedicate an Instagram to it and see if there is any interest from others for more pieces.
Are you a huge Star Wars fan?
Star Wars is a HUGE part of my life. It’s something my whole family bonds over. Not so much my sexy Star Wars art, but the movies and games have always been important to me since I was young.
Why did you decide to start drawing sexy versions of Stromtroopers?
Initially it started out as a single art piece that I did for a mate. When I jokingly asked if he wanted me to put a Stormtrooper helmet on his picture, he was ecstatic about the idea.
How do you decide who to draw as a sexy Stormtrooper?
Others liked it so much that I a had a few requests, and then I decided to draw a few people whose poses I loved, which has spun out to people just sending me pictures. They all just get added to the queue, so there’s no real criteria. If someone wants to be drawn as a Clone, all they have to do is message me on Instagram.
If Stromtroopers actually looked the way you draw them in your illustrations, would you join the Empire?
If only they were dressed that way. Though, I am Rebel Scum through and through, and would follow General Organa anywhere.
What are some of your artistic influences, and how long have you been an artist?
Drawing has only been a recent hobby of mine, getting heavily into it around December last year. I’ve been artistic my whole life, but releasing my art into the wild and showcasing it in ways like this has been a recent development.
Honestly, people like Eugene from the The Try Guys or Keiynan Lonsdale, who I’ve followed for years, and watching their evolution and coming into their own. Growth like that I find inspiring, as they are artists in their own way, but for actual art, I’d say the people in local industry around me.
What are your hopes for this account?
I mostly want to know that this brings joy to people’s lives. Plus, who doesn’t enjoy seeing sexy pop culture art from their favourite universes?
Do you think you’ll draw sexy versions of other Star Wars characters in the future?
I’ve completed my first "Captain" piece, based on Eugene Lee Yang from The Try Guys, which is him drawn as Captain Phasma. There will definitely be more characters drawn, but these ones will come less regularly, so you can expect to see Clones daily.
