This is to give you an inside look to my work in progress on your request. Let me know you thoughts if you have any. Obviously the color is slapped on to give me an idea of color balance of position before getting into the real stuff.

Thus far I like where it is going.

ok cool. the tattoo is black. I forgot that. Also the cloak will need to be an almost black. maybe black with some deep purple highlights in order to try and give it a little color. and I have a picture I have been using but it is not her exactly. but it is something.

That picture is not as close as I would like it to be and I would prefer something original. My pros on the picture, the outfit, only Araya's would be darker and it allows for the nightsister mark to be seen. That mark is kinda important to me due to it's importance in her story. The gauntlets on her arms would be nice but to be able to see the tattoo would be better. The way her hair is done (except color) is perfect. Long and black. The braids set in there is I think that sets it off. I think that is it. Like I said I am just providing feedback.

Your's is looking great. The color of the hair is perfect. Her eyes could be a little darker, like something you can get lost in. Also her pose, if we could get her facing a little bit more forward that would be good. The stance that you had for you Elegant picture is awesome and that girl holds a lot of what Araya would look like. I hope I am helping instead of hindering...

Btw this is her husband's little wiki site. http://starwars-exodus.wikia.com/wiki/Daer%27Gunn

Nice work La-Khan!
Shaggy, I think that changing the pose at this point would probably mean La-Khan having starting a completely new drawing. If I were doing this, I wouldn't be too happy with such a major change, but ultimately it's La-Khan's call.

Changes to the Work in Progress
Tattoo - Black, easy change :)

Cloak - Doable but you begin to run into a problem of everything being the same color (ie her clothing also being black). I will see if I can use the violet to offset this.

Hair - I'm not planning on braids, you are just seeing the ink lines is all. Gives the appearance of brains since I did it fast.

Eyes - I went with standard emerald color but can easily be darker.

Nightsister Mark - For the life of me, I can't find any reference to this Nightsister mark you refer to(other than the ruptured blood vessels in the eyes). Can you describe what it looks like or link a pic for me?

Pose - To change it would require me to start completely over. Ultimately I went with this pose to try and show a feminine quality with a hint of arrogance (facial expression) without having the obvious sassy/arogant stance that is in Elegant.

What if the outside of the cloak were black with the violet color internally? Just a hit and run post, so you can ignore me if you like. :-)

The night sister mark you could do like a deep bruise that kind of spiders out from her heart. That is where the mark is at (don't know if it doable for this pose but hey just asking ;)) It's a mark that she doesn't try to hide but at the same time, does not go out of her way to show it off. She will get looks from people because of it. also she isn't arrogant per-sey but she is just slightly annoyed by that vast majority of the galaxy. It comes from her time with the evil GAIT living ship that brain washed her. She is a good person just hates all the red tape that jedi have to jump through to get up and get a kleenex if they have to sneeze. lol

Other then that I will leave her in your hands. I am loving what I am seeing and thanx for asking so much for my input!!
