This showed up in Rouge gallery again
so putting it here for here too just in case.

This is my favorite Character to RP in our starwars games...wait no scratch that...in any of our rp games.

This is the wanshen wielding matukai tiny rynn Zikkiri Romany...
She's spunky to say the least.
The boots shift colors depending on how much pressure is put on them...why... distraction measures...and rp fun.
She dyes her hair teal

I decided to make a blog to post all my stuff into... and this is it.

I've had a lot of free time lately, so between going to class and grading tests, I've been doing paid concept work with Hisham. And when I'm not doing that, I screw around. YEAH

So this is a WIP of a drawing where Drig and Asok are in a cantina. OF COURSE. I think they're having their first clandestine meeting with Hayden, the failed Bothan spy... Working on large composition and scene work. Bonus points for recognizing easter eggs!

New: Monster concept for Wicked North's Azamar RPG.

I loaded this to the wrong thing...well the none completed one to the finished part so I figures I would load this one here.....I have been playing inbetween characters on my party pic. I am redoing many of them seperatly and then adding them to the big pic. so it's taking ALOT longer than I had thought.

Ok..I said final...what I MEANT was finnally posting something...I running with this...cant..stop...aurgh

So most of my latest SWAG character submissions are for an "Invasion" era fan comic I'm working on. I thought I'd post a page from the comic, and try and get some feedback.

As I've never illustrated a comic before (though I've been reading them for most of my life), I'm finding it challenging to figure out exactly HOW to tell a story visually! Every panel can be told a different way...and it's kicking my butt to figure out which way is BEST!

Figured I'd get one of these sketchbook things happening! Mainly because I just scribbled up a reaction to our latest spam post in the forums-- though the post isn't there anymore, it (and Asok's reaction to it!!) sure got a laugh out of me. May as well have somewhere to post my odds and ends and scrawls that I don't really intend to finish, too!

Here's the marker-only version of the request from mrpinkeyes. The finished version is in my gallery.

I did some work on my D&D character. From 3.5 , he is a Half orc. tried a few skin colors and went with red. I cant figure why the Paladine does not trust me.....I may lean a little toward the evil side but I am a monk.....very lawful....snicker snicker

Okay, here's the deal:
Everyday I crank out about a dozen or so sketches. 99% of those sit in my sketch book, collect dust, and disappear (just like Rob Liefeld).
I though it might be fun to share some of these with you guys and gals. Maybe you can help me decide what to move ahead with and what to forget about.

Enjoy

Hey all, it's been a while since I've posted anything here.

So what's new? Well, I just got back from a convention in Ohio a few weeks ago and and gearing up for Gen Con Indy next month, along with graduation. I managed to make a contact with an art director for tow different companies and got hired for work as a freelance illustrator doing what I love most, fantasy illustrations revolving around the ladies!

It's to do some character designs for Champions, so I am totally cheesin' about it as it is my first real job and with the industry I want to work for. One foot in the door!

Original pencil drawing for this final color version:

Color version removed now that the image has been added to the gallery.

Happy Holidays SWAG folk!

Okay, this isn't totally rendered and wasn't intended to be. For those of you who haven't seen Jynx's image, I just cut it out and slapped it on a picture I saw on FailBlog. I thought it was funny and fitting my character, and I did it as a joke x-mas card to my game group. Figured why not post it here too?

So the thing is, I am not sure if she did or didn't get what she wanted for X-mas this year, but the consequence would likely remain the same either way.

(FYI She is a Demolitions Engineer if it makes any sense)

Just posting some additional pics to this finished request
http://www.swagonline.com/node/5213

1) Pencil drawing which precedes the color final

2) Detail of face

Well, this isn't really a WIP post, exactly. More of a breaking up of the finished piece into easily digested parts.

The 3rd Image has the accompanying text, exterior views and deckplans.

Just a couple things I've been sketching during my down-time...

Banana comic strip

old-timey Gran gunslinger

aliens I made up for a short adventure I was GMing during vacation

Quarren noble-lady

So.....

School's still going pretty strong, and I only have till April before I am booted out into the adult world for good.

I'm taking Digital Illustration, which is now being offered at my school (we are an old fashioned traditional academy so this is the first digital illustration class being offered aside from foundations). I hear a lot of things in my community about artists who work digitally but can't draw or render traditionally. It makes me sad ={

I was watching the Star Wars Droids cartoons recently, and it left a decidedly '80s taste in my mouth, so I've set about updating the series with a few pictures. The choice of aliens was especially bad (since there weren't many at the time, and it wasn't a particularly creative time, apparently), so I've inserted aliens from established modern SW canon that fit the bill.

In this scene, Mungo Baobab is meeting a two-headed alien who has coordinates to the Roon system. I've replaced the two-headed orange man with a Troig.

Hey all, it's been a while since I've been able to do much of anything....I blame Final exams.

Anyways, I was bored and started doodling on the train, keeping in mind that Wizard World Chicago is just around the corner. So here is a sketchbook image of Jynx....enjoy.

-Kat/Jynxie

Here are some quick ideas of secenes, events, and ideas for a couple projects I am currently working on. These are very rough but all deal with a central story that spans the clone wars and through the galactic civil war. Actually almost every image I have in my gallery is of the same central story. Enjoy...

Here's a WIP sketch I've started working on. I'm getting a little better with photoshop. I haven't really drawn much of anything in the last 10 years so I am still shaking the rust off. I thought I'd post this WIP as added motivation to get it completed and for comments and critique.

The drawing is of a Dark Jedi, one of Emperor Palpatine's dark side adepts raised on the planet Byss. He wears armor and will have a sith symbol tattooed on his forehead.

Okay, get ready for nerd talk...and no, I don't mean the normal Star Wars related kind.

Something that is not commonly seen is the process of developing artwork; however I have seen some phenomenal step by step (aka process) stuff among the blogs here.

I've been slacking a little on the requests lately... I've been busy with school, mostly. But I've also been working on a few things. Most notably, I have set out to render my most definitive series of portraits of Asok that I have ever done. This series is, in effect, exactly what he looks like. I've included all of his clothes and accessories (including the ones that Hish gave him!). I've put an awful lot of work into these, and now I've left it to Drig to color them!

Woohoo, I'm finally a guild member here! When I found the site a couple of years ago I was nowhere near good enough to join up. I'm still not amazing, but I'm getting there at last and I'm really glad to be here. The community looks great!

...he's the MUNCHKINATOR!

Lt. Derm was a X-wing pilot trainee. Being a Cragmoloid a special simulater was created for him. Paca or "dumbo" as his fellow trainees called him ( never to his face) Had a kind heart and a strong desire to defeat the empire due in no small part to his peoples enslavement.

During his training he showed a great aptitude for fighter combat. All of his scores were high and everyone had great expectaions for the cadet. His skills were unmatched.

I was chatting with Hisham about this character scene. I told him I had woked a little on a scetch. He said he wouldn't mind if I finished and posted it here so he could see what I was working on. So Hisham, Here it is.....Once again with the no color thing. I am working on getting Photoshop CS3 ( and some instruction through a friend that teaches it at OSU Newark branch) so we will see later.

Will probable add some boots scampering up a ladder and a hallway later.

I was sketching Zabrak and liked this one. I'd like to think this was a few years after Order 66. He went to look for his Master and discovered she had become one with the force.

Just having fun with my version of a Sith Master. Completely silly, but hey, it's my world. I've been looking at Adam Hughes girls too much.......

Jinni is a free-lance mechanic. She lost her right arm and right eye in a Tusken Raider attack on Tatooine. Her crude replacement arm has only four fingers, which resulted in the nick-name, "Four-Finger Jinni". She doesn't mind it though, as long as she gets to be the main grease-monkey on the starship.

I had fun drawing this, I love cute girls with mechanical arms. joking joking....

During SWAG's dark times, without gallery updates or art requests and all that was left was the forum, a faithful few Swaggers huddled togther and tried to keep SWAG's spark alive by running a monthly theme contest. It was an informal affair, there was no voting, no winners and few rules; just an idea mutually decided upon and a loose deadline.

Gathered here for the first time (including some WIP sketches) are some of my entries to those contests...
