This is great stuff you got going on there Blue. I love the colors you have for the two YV, though I can't remember now who they're suppose to be in the Yuuzhan'tar thread. blush I likes how the spikes and the tattoos stand out yet blend with the YV on the throne. Though with those spikes, I wonder how does the guy can sleep.

And I never knew that purple would make an pleasing color for vonduun crab armor. It looks pleanty good on her and it reminds me of what Major Jean Villeneuve from The Patriot once said. "If I die I will die well dressed.".

Now I be wondering how my fella will turn out. grin That and the Jedi who's seen his last day.

Hi Blue ! Great to see you back with new art ^___^ These are fantastic. I just got CS4 too, it's great ^^
The last one is crazy detailed ! It's an amazing drawing, love the human slave being pulled along, lol ^___^

About the first, did you draw that straight into photoshop ? It's just it's so smooth, and if I try to draw straight in there it all comes out pixelated. Are you using the paintbrush tool ?


Heya and thanks muchly happy I have mostly been keeping busy with private projects but thought it was about time I did some fan art.
The human slave there is Yuuzhan'tar's most regular human visitor, and boy does he look put out there laugh

As for what I used in photoshop, it was just one of the default brushes that came with the CS4 edition, a hard edged round brush aprox size 5. Be sure to keep the brush dynamics on for tapered finishes on certain parts of the sketch. I have actually found I had the same problem with photoshop with the prior editions I had used, drawing straight onto it was a pain in the posterior because of jagged edges or too much pixelation/smudging - so I had always stuck to corel painter. But if you can get hold of CS4 I highly recommend it!
The original sketch of the piece was done on a napkin, so I just used that as a reference as it didn't scan too well.

Hoo, WEE--what a massive project you've undertaken, my friend! AACK!! But kudos to you for doing it--I don't think I've ever seen anything like this, outlining the way the YV society operated (and yeah--that poor slave/sacrifice, being dragged away...). Very cool, but yes--very challenging! The completed portions look terrific, and it's going to be great fun to see this masterpiece come together (thanks, btw, for sharing the "bits" as you get them done--it's awesome to see how other artists put things together! )! Wonderful stuff (and I still adore your use of color... *sigh* )!

FF


Thanks very much! grin It is the largest project I have undertaken since opening myself to requests lol, initially a few people (including myself) questioned my sanity after the last gimungous request which took about 2 months to finish, but this is going along at a quite nice steady pace. I hope to have my own character in there somewhere, finished soon. The backgrounds have been interesting to create, because I have been making my own textures for the first time in ages, using a process similar to what they use when texturing in computer games. happy
Thanks again for stopping by!

laugh Ok, here's a recap lol. The top guy with all the spikes is jhc36, and the female in purple armour is Kecen's Elmira Val.
I have just about finished my own character, but the oozhith she's wearing is proving a bit of a challenge, cos I wanted it to have an organic feel with veins in the non-coral parts. thinking
And thankyee kindly! Yes purple was an odd choice for the armour, but it was what I have used in the past on that character, so I decided to opt out of red or simply black for her, make her stand out a bit more as she is so far away from the viewer's perspective grin
Caedus isn't looking happy is he? *snicker* let the infidel hurling begin! XD

Thanks very much Early Bird happy Well, I fianlly finished that large image I was working on, here is the final article! This was in response to the idea of sketching every regular at the EUC thread "Yuuzhan'tar" as their Yuuzhan Vong persona.


With Text (Left to right - Aspiration, YuuzhanVong_Rule, Caedus1138, jhc36, Me, Kecen with her pet Yammosk, Black-Dog)


Without text

And to pass the time between finishing this and working, I started to play around with some markers too...

Well, as I've mention at the EUC, you did a gret job on the group pic. It was well worth the wait. happy

Nice stuff. Not everyday a romance among the Yuuzhan Vong is depicted.

Thanks BD! Nice of you to drop by happy
And LOL, yeah it's not everyday you see that, sketched a couple of YV romance pieces now, which usually get a mixed reaction due to the fact they are yuuzies depicted tongue

I loved the Vong ones as much as your Bittersweet piece...

hugs

You make the world of the Vong become alive in your art pieces.

Thanks very much, there is certainly more on the way and in the works, both fan art and original stuff - I don't really know what the rules are in regards to posting original stuff here, but I may post one or two pieces of that as I go along the way? happy

Well, art is art. And the art of a fan does not need to be SW related art only. But if you want to be 100% sure I advice you to ask Han himself. He is a very good, fair and honest mod. The best we can have for fanart.

Hahaha, thanks very much grin I have a quick background to add and finish off her weapon-holding arm, not much to go now, but i'll also be adding in some aditional details/scratches to the armour for that worn effect happy
