It's beautiful! I thought you were drawing Thrawn and Minerva- however!

Fixed that "typo" on there. Apologies.

*deep breath...exhale* So it would seem I have finally dredged up the guts to do this. *taps claws nervously* As of right now, my art is limited to pencil sketching because tiny living conditions prevent me from having the desk space to use my laptop and Wacom, however, once those conditions change, I plan to go back and do colored versions of these drawings.

Anyway, first sketch: profile view of my NST character Grievance Vexx.

The more I look at this one, the more I really do like the way this one turned out. It is extremely difficult to convey emotion on a character like this, but I think there is a pretty clear expression coming through the eyes, which are soft as though to imply he may be listening to someone (perhaps his master) and trying to understand a complex lesson.

Second sketch: scene from the NST combo post with dragonsith13 when Grievance awakens to find he has been captured by Draconis.

This one is basically my inner love for storyboarding coming out. I referenced the conceptual images used in Draconis' character sheet to try and get his look as accurate as possible, but I don't know if I'm entirely satisfied with the end result, so I am open to any and all suggestions for improvement (that of course includes any suggestions the character's creator aka my master may have for me). I was also drawing this on a fairly small sketch pad, so Grievance's size is not what it should be.
On a side note, for inspiration while drawing this, I was listening to "The Beast" by Sabaton and I think the song really fits well with the scene of Draconis capturing and torturing Grievance.

Third sketch: a portrait sketch of Darth Insipid because his character sheet image is strikingly cool and he is our supreme Sith authority figure Sinrebirth . *deep bow of respect* Now (hopefully) improved with a second take on the drawing below the original.

This one needs some work, I know. The eyes do not look right to me, so I'm going to call out to HanSolo29 for any advice on fixing this. That aside, I was trying to capture that look that we sometimes see posted by the emperor-god, quirking a brow at a brazen peon, perhaps plotting a satisfactory way of expelling and/or exterminating said peon. I did take the liberty of garnishing his clothing a little bit, trying to push a regal look there. My apologies for the flaws, almighty smiter. I will be updating this one and the one above it as I try different techniques to improve the appearances.

Fourth sketch: Reiis Invadator. I drew her pre-cyborg as Anakin.Skywalker writes her with such determination and defiance, it begs to be drawn in the facial expression.

Again, I'm not entirely satisfied with this one. Humans are so frustrating to draw. I'm sure there will be improvements made to this one as well.

Fifth sketch, requested: every Sith's favorite Wookiee, Darth Ravenous.

I apologize if he is not entirely accurate, WookieeRage . I was going largely on your character sheet images, but more so on your written description. If there is anything I need to tweak, let me know. I had a lot of fun drawing him.

Sixth sketch, requested: Minerva and Thrawn share a romantic moment.

Nehru_Amidala , I know your request was an actual kiss, but I had this really good look going in those moments before lips touch lips and I just went with it. I really like the look and pose of Minerva, plus drawing a kiss often obstructs the view of facial features on characters and I really didn't want to lose what I had with Minerva's look. I can draw it again if you like and draw the actual kiss. Just let me know.

Anyway, thanks for looking and, again, critiquing is most welcome.

Good Lord, these are quite nice

HanSolo29 · May 20, 2017

Very nice, Kaleesh-Cyborg!

I have to say, I really like the pose you put Ravenous in! It's quite fitting.

Nehru_Amidala · May 29, 2017

Thank you, I like how you drew them!

I am definitely digging my character's appearance! Thanks a bunch!

QueenSabe7 · May 29, 2017

Nocturne's look is definitely intriguing. Once again, well done Kaleesh-Cyborg!

Kaleesh-Cyborg · May 29, 2017

Thanks for the feedback, Nehru_Amidala , nihilistic_nihilus , and QueenSabe7 . I'm glad you like them. *bows respectfully to the queen*

HanSolo29 · May 30, 2017

Very nice update, Kaleesh-Cyborg!

Nocturne is a very interesting design. I love the overall vibe of the character – the damaged half-mask makes him very eerie. He's certainly not someone I would want to run into out on the street!

Ninth sketch, requested: Halle Dray 's Sith character Kwea Acantha.

I went a little bold with this one after reading her character sheet and tried to capture the spirit of a female warrior, hence the attempted dynamic pose. I ran out of paper drawing the extended arm holding the lightsaber and posed her free hand as though she may be about to throw out some Force-lightning. The angle is supposed to be from behind and to the side, but I'm not sure that is clear at a glance. Sometimes it looks right to me and then it doesn't. In any case, Halle Dray, if there is a detail I missed, please let me know and I will adjust/fix/update.

Anyway, thanks for looking and, again, critiquing is most welcome.

Ooohh! I like this one! Nice pose, too.

These have been great, Kaleesh.

Halle Dray · Jun 14, 2017

I absolutely adore your image of Kwea. You have so much talent and you did an amazing job of combing a fierceness and her feminine side. Well Done!

Kaleesh-Cyborg · Jun 14, 2017

Thanks, Anakin.Skywalker and I am glad you are pleased, m'lady Halle Dray . Thank you both for the feedback.

BookExogorth · Jun 14, 2017

I think your art is beautiful, and you are very good at it.

pronker · Jun 14, 2017

Kwea Acantha looks interestingly a blend of Sithly evil and maybe a more lighthearted or mischievous side? Anyway, enjoyed your work!

Kaleesh-Cyborg · Jun 14, 2017

BookExogorth and pronker
Thank you for checking out my art and commenting. Kwea's design was based off a lot of descriptive information on Halle Dray 's character sheet and the character herself is young, so a little bit of mischief in the eyes is hopefully applicable.

It would say from experience it's quite accurate.

Looks like I missed some updates! Maybe I need to start reading thread titles more carefully instead of relying on posts.

Great work all around! I particularly love the one of Vexx peering down from the rafters. It happens so often, it's about time we get a depiction of it.

I also saw your comment about straight lines. I know I'm one to talk (I don't use them often myself), but rulers are your friend!

Kaleesh-Cyborg · Jul 4, 2017

HanSolo29
Thank you. I had fun with the rafters one for obvious reasons. Does it really happen that often? *innocent look*

Rulers rule! I know this, yet I have always been too stubborn, determined to eyeball a straight line and failing every time. Now is no exception. This stubborn determination comes from one who willingly admits to having a crooked eye and zero ability to hang a picture so it's level. You'd think I'd give it up after a while, right?

Anakin.Skywalker · Jul 4, 2017

Oohhhhh....love the one of Draconis. And now we can see what exactly we look up at when you're glaring down from the rafters

You all should just be thankful I am incapable of spitting.

Simply fantastic all the way around!
