The spacefaring pirate, K'Ehleyr Wynver

I've been working on my hands, trying to strengthen them so that I can start drawing again. I've done some personal projects for myself and some have turned out pretty good and others I'll have to wait until my hands or closer to normal to finish. Here is one them, that I hope to be able to finish soon.

Thank you Asok/Boshuda, after seeing your Rishii Jedi drawing (as well as the others) I take that as a huge compliment indeed. =D

Lord Cygnus

Thank you, Casca. I really like your work using Photoshop. My wife and I do something like that sometimes. I draw them on paper, scan them in and the she uses Corel PaintShop Photo Pro to color them.

I'd say your doin' alright, considering your situation with your hands. Thats like every artists worst nightmare, losing the use of your hands - >shudder!!<

Good work, welcome!!!

Lord Cygnus

Thank you, Grendeljd. It has been very hard at times, sometimes I ever have a hard time just typing, buttoning a shirt and doing ordinary things like that. So thanks again for the complement and the welcoming.

Cygnus, you draw straighter lines with shaking hands than I do with non-shaking hands, beautiful work.

Lord Cygnus

Michael, Xanamiar and Hisham, Thank you all for the kind words and I hope to have some color on her soon (provided by my better-half). She really makes my 2D artwork POP with almost 3D effects.

Lord Cygnus

Xanamiar, I thank you and I think so too, I married a very talented woman and our art blends well together. :-)

Swear to god, I once broke my finger in a sword fight. Couldn't draw all summer.
Also, this pic is looking sweet. Really like the body language. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

My hands have been a bit better lately and so this is the finale line draft before we add in the glorious color to complete my lovely Zeltron, spacefaring pirate, K'Ehleyr Wynver

The account of K'Ehleyr Wynver is a rather complex one to say the least, perhaps not as flashy or exciting as other stories, but interesting to note. On her opulent home world of Zeltros she was an heiress to her family’s empire of elaborate and luxurious pleasure resorts. In fact, all brands in “The Wynver Family” of casinos, hotels, theme parks, as well as other havens of hedonism, became the leading standards by which all others of in the galaxy were measured. However, the prospect of someday inheriting instant wealth, power and status as an influential socialite was not very appealing to the very young K'Ehleyr. She was a devoted lover of HoloVid novels and movies of swashbuckling romances full of daring action, adventure, heroism, intrigue, with ostentatious bravado and style, so she went about finding a way to become one of the noblewomen-adventurers in her beloved stories. Her parents indulged her, allowing her to study under special tutors as long as it did not interfere with any of her regular studies. Among her “other” studies were saber fencing techniques, blaster marksmanship, starship piloting and maintenance. K'Ehleyr parents were already having her studied charm, etiquette, among other skills that she did not see the use of at that time, but which later proved to be useful.

Her family also humored her by allowing her to purchase a ship, a customized Corellian Engineering Corporation YV-545 Transport light freighter. At the same time, she placed an order for a custom-made saber designed to her exact specifications. The saber she wields is fashioned from nigh-indestructible, high-quality phrik alloy, an elegant razor-shaped energy weapon. The blade is well-balanced so that the double-jointed, ambidextrous K’Ehleyr is capable of using it with her off-hand or with a second weapon simultaneously. Once these two major projects were complete, she started gathering other things to help her set off on her intergalactic journeys. She took her childhood pet, GV/3 Class Guardian droid, 'K-9' as well as securing to services of an LE-series repair droid, LE-74D80, nick-named 'Leigh'.

Despite her adventurous bent, she is still on excellent terms with her family. They believe that once she has all this silly wanderlust worked out of her system, K'Ehleyr will come to her senses and return back home. In recent months, on her adventures with her crewmembers the exiled Force Adept Sarwen Gall and the valiant, patchwork Droid with a very mysterious past, 2B-, this space-faring adventurer was offered her own line of swashbuckling romances HoloVid novels full of daring action. She has at last arrived, the hopeless romantic now turned into a real life heroine.
