A request from back in October by Setie;
(original HERE)

"She was born on Korriban and raised a sith in the old republic era but couldn't cut it and eventually took off before she got killed, much to the anger of many.

I gave her red (more copper colored) hair and green eyes. Preferred fighting style was two sabers but she could never take killing someone and usually went on the defense. The big pain for artists will be her scar. She has a scar that runs from temple to cheek bone down the left side of her face, between her eye and ear. It's from her old master for one of her failures so I always picture it like a burn mark. With her having been using the dark side a lot it started manifesting black veins underneath. I have her normally hiding it with her hair."

"...human and roughly early 20's in age. She's also a horrendous klutz, though it usually plays into helping her some way. Like tripping over her own feet and avoiding the shot of a bounty hunter behind her. *facepalm*"

I'm quite pleased with the sketch and will load up a colour version soon!

Wow, I really love the pose you got her in. Was it painful to get her all crouched in there? Screams her situation and personality really well I think. Doing what she hates but must to survive.

Thank you and I can't wait to see her colored. :)

Bwa.

Ooooh, I weally like it! Especially her face––it conveys her personality really well.

This one is super so far. You can almost see the coiled energy in her, ready to spring up.

Mercy

Wicked!!

Thanks guys! Working on the colour version now!
Will post again soon...

Here's the background, skin tone and eyes.

Any preference on 'saber colour, Setie?
I don't know if the picture would suit having it lit, but let's see, yeah?

Well she had red sabers at the start and then switched them for a thundercloud gray kind. Yes I know the gray saber is not real but I thought it would be cool since everyone an their mother had these bright colored sabers.

Mercy

Hey, I don't see why a grey saber couldn't exist! it would be a toned down sort of silver - maybe with a touch of steel-blue around the edge...
I like it!

Setie

Perfect! Now the question is on or off with the other saber. After all, could compromise on that debate with having 1 on and 1 off. :)

Mercy

That's what I was thinking!
Also, I think it would push the canvas length out even further to the right and make her look all bunched up on the left hand side. I think one on & one off would be the best.

Yes the hair is nice. I'll admit that I am bias when it comes to red-heads. HA HA HA! (My wife is red-headed).

I love those boots...really love those boots.

Plus the prone position she appears to be fighting from, as well as her face. The lightsaber effect is neat too.

Setie

O_O wow...

She's awesome Mercy thank you. I hope you don't mind me throwing her onto her wiki page, yes I'll remember to tell folks of your awesomeness. Thank you so much for drawing her! You nailed her so well in so many ways. :)

Mercy

No worries!
that would be cool!

Let me know the link and I'll go and have a nosey!
