A new request from Setie;

I was hoping to get a pic for a scene from a story I'm writing with a fellow RPer. http://swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=45633 for if you want to read it. :)

Anyways, was hoping to get a scene pic of Shades and Cyare from the beginning of the story. Shades is a prisoner on a mando ship after a nasty fight. So she's got various wounds (none really threatening), her mechanical eye got ripped out so she's got cords dangling, and her mechanical arm got snapped off at the elbow. In other words she's a serious mess. XD

Then you have her appointed guard standing outside her cell. He's just staring...and staring...and staring...and of course he's in all his dark blue armor and just having a Mandalorian staring at you is bound to unnerve. When unnerved Shades gets mouthy.

And that's the little snap shot I want. Mean little punk of a merc that really should not be mouthing off hissing at the Mando guard on the other side of her cell while he tries not to laugh at her and keep his cool.

I know you've kind of done Mando armor but thought I would attempt to be helpful. http://swtor.com/info/holonet/timeline The first real pic of a Mando is about right for how Cyare would look, he even uses a pair of pistols. You already know how Shades looks, just need to make her nice and messy. ^_^

Wowza Mercy. I think I actually like her there better then the original character portrait you did of her. Not sure why, maybe it's cause she looks slightly less psycho and more like she's on the verge of panic and being human. Then again that might just be me cause I know the scene and her head at the time. ^_^

Really cool, love the torn bits of what's left of the arm. Kinda reminds me of an older, more scarred version of Mira from KOTOR 2.

In other words, awesome.

Mercy

Ah, true... Good spot, Kalenath!
I just thought that, if she were nervous, she would want to smoke. I didn't even think that she wouldn't be allowed to!
Thanks for the tip!

Setie

Yeah sadly they didn't leave her with those. Lighters are deadly weapons after all against mandos. ;)

kalenath

Well, yeah... Have you ever seen what a Mando can do with a lighter? *shudders*

But she surely wants a cigarra right about then...

Mercy

Maybe I could leave it unlit? Like she really wants one and holding it is all she can do...

Setie

That actually makes sense. She'd probably have one stuck in her little bandanna and no way to light it. As an ex-smoker I feel for the poor girl there. XD

EvilWalks

Kinda reminds me of the SSK-7 heavy blaster pistol. Very nice. Never seen a pistol holstered from the grip before. Interesting.

The Mando's Smirk vs. the Merc's Scowl...the ultimate fight! Who will win? :D

Mercy

Thanks, Asok!

On the money, EvilWalks!! That's the reference I used!

As for the holster I have to admit that it was mostly because I finished the gun and just couldn't bring myself to rub out such a large proportion of it...

*sheepish grin*

kalenath

I always thought of him as a buzz cut man myself, (Mainly because the only Mando we see out of his helmet in the KOTOR games was Canderous Ordo)but hair under a helmet is going to be a mess anyway, so... This works. And I LOVE the pistol and the expression.

He is SO trying not to laugh at her, and it comes right across.

Setie

EvilWalks you'll just have to read the story to find out who won that round. Those two get into it a number of times. XD

Only thing I hate so far Mercy is like you were saying with the pistol there, covering things up. In the scene Cyare technically never takes off his helmet, but how can we see his expression if he has it on? *cries*

I think come artistic license is in order but will leave that to the artist and her muse. Just so you know since I failed to put it in my original request there. Cyare's hair is blond and his eyes are brown. :)

Lord Crumb

Somebody call Dr. Rudy Wells and his team or Steve Austin (SMDM). There's a cyborg who needs fixing. Faster...Stronger...Better then she was before. It's looking good.

-LCT :-)

Setie

Looks awesome, but Cyare's armor is blue. If your worried about making it to dark I never was specific on Shades's colors. :)

Mercy

Okie-dokie. Yeah, you didn't say so I just made it up.
I'll change the colours and post again, k?

Setie

Much better, but I could have sworn I mentioned the armor color...ah well I have a baby eating my brain here so it's quite possible I'm out of my mind.

Razor

Mmm,cyberwoman... can I have her phone number? ;) I mean, no, of course not! She'd probably eat me!

Setie

Drat it all I thought my comment posted. Grr...

Anyways, I said it looks awesome. Gotta love the creepy red eye deal, broken as it is. XD

kalenath

NICE job. Maybe not exactly what I envisioned when I wrote that part, but NICE job nonetheless.
