	You can use photobucket, but you simply have to utilize the direct link this way: [image =http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q166/Mitth_Fisto/ChandraFan.jpg] Now, because I wanted you to see what I wrote I put a space between Image and the =. That shouldn't be there, but if I didn't all you would see is this: So, that is what you need to do.

	Thanks, alot that really helps me get going. Hopefully I should have another update ready to go later. But I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for how to darken the image some. For some reason when I scanned it came out nearly whitewashed, as you can see, any suggestions? -----signature----- Pride before the fall Humility before honor Friendship is unnecessary like philosophy like art It has ho survival value; rather it's one of those things that gives value to survival http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/25366431/p1/?79

	Hello Mitth_Fisto, and welcome to the forum! I see you have help with the image posting--as to "darkening" your work after scanning: try looking for a button in the toolbar of your imaging software (or in one of the menus like "Effects" or "Touchup") that offers "Contrast correction" or "Level correction." Either of these might offer a way to darken your scanned image. Try some of those--and you always have that wonderful "Undo" button if it doesn't give what you want! As to your drawing--bravo! There's not nearly enough artwork of some of the more obscure alien species, and the Chadra Fan are definitely in that group! Well done (and I always wanted a larger image of our erstwile Jedi Healer Tekli! )! We'll be looking forward to seeing more from you, and again--welcome! FF -----signature----- "Hear me, Baby?

	Thanks for the help FF, I tried it with the new image and it really helped. Glad you enjoy the obscure alien part, it's my prefered area to work in. I actually have one of Shug Nix that I just finished putting some finnishing touches on. Please give your honest oppinion. Thanks!! -----signature----- Pride before the fall Humility before honor Friendship is unnecessary like philosophy like art It has ho survival value; rather it's one of those things that gives value to survival http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/25366431/p1/?79

FalconFan Registered: Jul '04	Date Posted: 10/21/06 2:06pm Subject: RE: Mitth's Alien Gallery (Updated 10/19/06) Abyssin + Shug Ninx!
	I put a reply in this thread earlier today...now I'm not sure where it went... ?! shrug In any case, I wanted to comment on the Abyssin and Shug: that Abyssin is a species I've never seen before (but then, I don't read the comics, and that's probably where it came from...?)--I like it, though, with its "cyclopean" eye and the facial plates! Cool! And Shug looks just as I would have expected, with that sort of broad square jaw and rough features! I like all that wild blonde hair, too. The piece still seems a little faded, though--you may want to try using softer leads and more pencil pressure in your drawings, to help bring up the contrasts (difference between lights and darks) more. That would also help the scanner to capture things more effectively (as well as giving your imaging program more to work with). A nice portrait, in any case! FF -----signature----- "Hear me, Baby?

	Thanks for the comments FalconFan I'll have to try that later on. The Abbysin is actually from the cantina scene in ANH, he only has about a second or two of face time, but I really did enjoy trying to make the different levels of his face show. The Shug Ninx, Thanks for the input and I'm glad you liked him, the image I was working with actually had given tame sleeked back hair almost and that just had to go, it just didn't seem right for smugglers machinac that would name his place a barn. Maybe that's justthe strange workings of my mind . -----signature----- Pride before the fall Humility before honor Friendship is unnecessary like philosophy like art It has ho survival value; rather it's one of those things that gives value to survival http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/25366431/p1/?79

	The Nautolan My oldest full sized drawing done this past spring which I was inspired to create by Your_Worshipfulness, Aurele', FF, and many others, since they encouraged me to try drawing again and to share what I make.

	Very nice Nautolan, Mitth! I really like the tattoos on the headtails--lots of detailing there (and another reason I've never attempted this particular alien species before--hard! ). Thanks for the "thanks"--and we're glad you've been inspired to draw, and to share your work! FF -----signature----- "Hear me, Baby? Hold together..."

	Well, don't I feel like a big idiot. So sorry Mitth_Fisto, I must have been tired or something because I honestly did not see this thread when I was looking through the threads earlier. If they had a little picture of a donkey's head in the list of faces, you'd see one here right now. smacks head Should I be surprised to see a drawing of a Nautolan (Was not your user name inspired by Kit Fisto's name, who is of the same species? A fan I presume? ) He looks great! I'm going to have to agree with everyone so far and say that his head tails look excellent. There's no way you can miss the detail there. I also like how his eyes are so prominent and really seem to stare me down. I also think it's really neat how you're dedicated to drawing alien species in general. Though the Star Wars universe is filled with a variety, I'm only familiar with just a scant few. Thanks for showing us some of those whom many (myself included) are unaware of. + glad you that you decided to start up drawing again. - Suz ^_~ -----signature----- "Polka will never die!" - DB "It's my Bathroom!" - Claxton / BH --- - Go ahead and call me 'Suz' ^_~

	Falcon Fan: Thanks for stopping by again! And your right, its probably best that I took it on as my first or I think I might have chickened out . The headtails are a real pain in the neck, but its not going to stop me from trying some of the others though. NLSkywalker: Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it and that you like the shadings on the palp. Your_Worshipfulness: Don't worry about it, I somtimes make a bigger idiot of myself than that and my family has the photo's to prove it! Turns beat red at the memories I guess you shouldn't be surprised, you're right my names an abrieviation of a full name I use on starwars.com, which is Mitth'raw'nuruodo Fisto named after two of my favorite characters Kit and Thrawn. Thanks on the headtails and eyes, I tried to go back and create the reflections but since I used charcoal for this one I was going to run out of eraser before it softened enough so I gave up and just said I'd plan better in the future Hopefully I'll be able to surprise some more with those alien species that seen only in the background of various movie scenes. And Thanks to all once more! _________________________________________________________________ Here's my latest production, an Aleena, I used the split second before he screemed in Ep II for a reference on this one Hope you enjoy! -----signature----- Pride before the fall Humility before honor Friendship is unnecessary like philosophy like art It has ho survival value; rather it's one of those things that gives value to survival http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/25366431/p1/?79

	tries to remember the "scream scene" in AOTC... Cool! I like the eyes here, and the clothing is very well done. Good colors, too (I can't seem to recall this being from the film--where, exactly, did we see him...?)! You really have a gift for capturing the aliens! Just another reminder to really study your reference pictures for darker shadows on the figure/face--including those in your drawings (either with darker pencil or darker shades of the colors you're using) will give them a lot more pop!

	Thanks for stopping by FF, the seen is during the chase after the attempt on Padme's life. Anikin cuts off an air speeder that's being driven by an Aleena, and has the dug in the back seat that makes the coment, "Jedi pudoo!" I may know the movies alittle too well for the minute characters but it comes in handy. Well with the colors and pops I am trying to take it into account, but for the next batch of pics all of the faces that you see are the pics I've done this past summer and the bodies are the recent additions but I'm trying to add more depth. More of my time is going into my couple of new ones that are nearly finished. but until they're ready I'm just fiddling with this older stuff before posting. So don't worry your advise doesn't fall unheard. Thank you very much for the tips and comments! _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Now for my new oncorless production, Saurin and Elom and Unknown O MY! My poor attempt that I got disgusted with myself over, its the Saurin from Jabba's Sail Barge. The Elom from Jabba's Sail barge. Last the great unknown Senator! This is Senator Edcel Bar Gane who seconded the motion of no confidence in Ep II. Unfortunately I can find no-where a mention of race, just that he's insectoid. Hope you all enjoy! -----signature----- Pride before the fall Humility before honor Friendship is unnecessary like philosophy like art It has ho survival value; rather it's one of those things that gives value to survival http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/25366431/p1/?79

FalconFan Registered: Jul '04	Date Posted: 11/13/06 2:05pm Subject: RE: Mitth's Alien Gallery (Updated 11/13/06) Saurin and Elom and Unknown O MY!
	Kewl! I remember this fellow from the Sail Barge--he's a rough-looking character, for sure! Not the sort you'd want to run into in a dark Mos Eisley alley! lol! Very good detailing on the facial scales and teeth--it's cool that you can get such detail for creatures that couldn't have had more than a few frames of screen time! The Elom looks very cool: love the texturing on the eye protrusions, the scales on the neck and all the fur--wonderful detailing. This guy I don't remember (I'm going to have to plug in ROTJ again and go frame-by-frame--you've peaked my curiosity, now! lol!), but I'm loving the diversity of beings! And Senator Bar Gane looks great as well--very nice rendering of his ceremonial/senatorial robes: lots of texturing and detail there, and it looks wonderful! Just another quick suggestion: for some of these, since a lot of us haven't seen them before (or if like me, we just don't remember!), it'd be great to see you draw/sketch them from different angles in addition to the straight-on views. Turning your subjects around (in sketches) can be a great exercise, and can give you some more ideas for lighting/shading and posing. Think about it (for the Senator, especially, it'd be lovely to see him from sort of a 3/4, from-slightly-below sort of view, as though we're watching him make his motion in the Senate--if this is too confusing, drop me a PM and we can talk more about it!)! Very nice pieces (and I'm really getting an "alien education" in your thread, lol!)! FF -----signature----- "Hear me, Baby? Hold together..."
