Part of a larger piece which iincludes her waist and torso. but I thought I would post this here since, although it is still a work in progress, the head is coming along well. It just takes so darn long to paint. . . . Done in painter. Photoref used - Monica Bellucci, although small changes made to make it look like the dear Jedi.

Here is an unfinished Carth sketch - penciled then scanned in and the clean up begun in photoshop. The perspective is a bit wonky. The guns are. . .meh. I hope to finish this in color, but it will take a bit longer to do. I know I haven't done any KOTOR:2 sketches, but Atton and the Handmaiden are begging to be done. Julian's pic with the Handmaiden on top of the Exile while fighting has inspired me. . . .

Yes, do it, Satasn! That I would love to hear. Mothman - Not yet! Not yet. . . . .

I use an intuos2 and it works well. Its the first Wacom tablet I have owned. I had an Aiptek but it never quite felt right. And I suppose I will have to do better to elicit a "squeal" the next time. By the way, is that how Carth pictures are judged? By the squeal level? Then I wonder what the Bastila equivalent of that is?

Vall and Kaftan I hear what you are saying. You are right in that most of the time at nude drawing classes they like people to "self explore" because they feel they would trample on your "artistic freedom" if they told you how to draw. I liked the class myself because you get a feel for the body as a 3D object which is hard to appreciate just from drawing from photos. As far as markmaking I think I know what you are saying, and believe me, I wish I had the fluid crisp lines of Adam Hughes, or the soft, ethereal colors of a Waterhouse. I think how we "make our mark" on the page is what differentiates each artist from another. Your style is not any less good than anothers. But yes, I think we all see styles that we like and wish we could emulate it. Believe me I certainly do all the time. I am by far no expert, but if you go to places like the Sijun Forums (click on the speedpainting link for some great pieces) the people there can probably give you better tiips then I can, because a lot of them are pros. And if you want to know how to draw a foot, or how to draw a face so it looks realistic, then head on over to that Save Loomis.org place. Loomis will have you understanding human anatomy and drawing the human form more accurately in no time. I only wish I followed his instructions more closely! Welcome, Julian. Thanks for showing me this place. Ok, I said I would post a Carth picture tonight, but its a rough headshot only, done in Painter. Usually I'll pencil then scan, but I am trying to get used to using a tablet. I have a more involved picture in mind that I didn't have a chance to get down on paper tonight. I'll have to see if what I picture in my mind can be transferred to the blank page. Ah, there's the rub. Ok now, can I be more of a windbag? No more long posts for me. Just lots of Bastila and Carth pics from now on . . . . .

I hope to post the Carth pic later tonight. For now, here are two pics that didn't quite make it off the ground. They got started, but then I didn't continue with them. (Maybe I should, however. All pictures seem to go through an "ugly phase" where they look like crap shortly after you begin until the time they are nearly complete...too often I think I give up during this phase) Anyway, various things are wrong in the pics. They could be saved, I suppose. We'll have to see.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! I hope to put up some more pics in the near future. And thanks for pointing me the way over here, Julian. Darkside - No, not a pro, although that would certainly be nice. Well, to be more accurate, I don't draw for a living, but in the past I I have done a couple of character portraits for characters in a MMORPG for money. The portraits seen in the Ultima Online Gallery on my website have a few such drawings, although most of those in there were done for fun for people I met online. Mothman - is rabid fangirlism really such a bad thing? Actually, I am working on a Carth portrait since I have noticed he has a somewhat "small" following. . . . . In the end, though, you're more likely to see pictures of Bastila being done -- that voice of Jennifer Hale's is simply intoxicating. Its her voice that conjures up the images in my brain that I then put down on paper. Still, I hope to put pics up here that are more complete pictures rather than the solitary figure or two. Anyway, time for sleep. Again, thanks for the warm welcome!

Hey there everyone! I thought I would contribute to this thread seeing as how SW:KOTOR games are, well, great. Yes, KOTOR II had some loose ends, but hopefully the Restoration Project will help to fix some of that. I had posted some pictures of some SW:KOTOR characters (ok, mainly Bastila) over at Kotorfanmedia.com, but didn't even think about posting any pictures here until someone reminded me that this forum existed. So here is some fan art. . . . Here is a Bastila Wallpaper as well . . . . Most of these are pretty rough, just in prelim stages, except, of course for the Bastila headshot above and the last wallpaper one. Some of these are over a year old, so I apologize if you've seen a couple of these before. I hope you like them. Check out the forums and the main site of kotorfanmedia.com for a lot more great fan art from a lot of other talented artists.
