    Massassi is the name for the Sith warrior class.

    I think Sauron_18's right, they're specifically referred to as being de-evolved. Exar Kun I believe is the one that starts mixing alchemy and Massassi.

    I'm hoping for something along those lines.

    Thanks!

    Um...

    I guess the writers of Lords of the Expanse stole her name.

    I don't think so, that concept has been used to create a Nightsister already [face_mischief]

    Hey, here's a neat idea (feel free to use this one, Abel):

    Several concept paintings were done of female Sith Lords during production of TPM and AOTC, before the characters of Dooku and Maul were developed. Why not re-use them to create new darkside characters?


    ;)


    :D

    Most of them were used already (Assajj Ventress, Komari Vosa, Mighella, etc...)


    If Cognus is ever further explored, and if she is indeed made a woman, then I would prefer one who is less stereotypical of being a Sith, someone who looks more like the Palpatine equivalent of a woman (nice and calm on the outside)

    most of them, in fact, were used several times over.

    I'm pretty sure TC is being sarcstic.

    Sauron: it's the timeline placement of Marka & Finn's tale that bothers me. Why would they be strolling around in their Sithly glory, blowing up buildings and spouting dogma when they're supposed to be in hiding? Plus, recruiting a random girl off the street as THE Sith apprentice seems pretty irresponsible... not to mention there's not much of a motive for the girl to suddenly turn evil.

    The obviously Sienar-ispired craft is also irritating, no matter what the time period.

    I think that's actually Darth MC Hammerus.

    Why, that's a highly original idea!

    I actually like most of the ways in which the female Darths concept art has ended up being recycled. Interesting to have the Nightsisters re-imagined. I'm still kind of partial to that Gethzerion [sic?] pic from the first edition of the Essential Guide to Characters.

    There are all sorts of neat character possibilities for a female Darth. We really only see the sexy buttkicking chick darksider regularly, and to a lesser extent the shrivelled up witch. I would've liked to have seen a female Darth on the big screen.

    Take care,
    Abel

    And what average dumb Joe citizen, really, is going to recognise them as specific Sith? o_O

    I would love to see illustrations of Darth Ruin, Darth Rivan, Darth Cognus, and Darth Millennial. I trust we may see them in the near future yes?

    I myself have come to consider this artwork as Ruin:

    [image=http://www.wizards.com/starwars/images/darksideart/Devotee.jpg]

    There's just something in him, he looks peaceful, like a Sith who is capable of starting the Sith order for 3 dimensional reasons, and yet he also looks he could kick your a$$. Plus, he could pass as an Umbaran [face_mischief]

    That's true.

    I don't have anything planned personally at the moment, but I imagine whether I have a hand in it or not, Ruin is the most likely candidate to be illustrated first.

    Hmm. Maybe.

    Take care,

    YES!!!!!!!!! I love the mystery of Darth Ruin! He's actually the one I want to see the most. His name is perfect as well. It sums up his character well. He "ruined" the relative peace in the galaxy, he "ruined" the jedi by resigning his post and corrupting many members, and his actions later lead to the ruin of the galaxy. I love it. I suppose he was very powerful. Hey maybe you'll get a comic book deal...::crosses fingers:: Was there ever a depiction of the adult Darth Zannah?

    I don't think there's anything oof adult Zannah, but here's a pretty good pic of her shortly after JVS:

    I'm concerned at the large number of Sith Lords being human male, and the rarity of seeing female Dark Lords. [face_thinking]

    Me too. :)

    Try toes, legs, eyes, and nostrils too. ;)

    Not yet.

    Heh heh. Those curls are unmistakable.

    Sith Lord knows I've done my part. I affirmed Lumiya, Zannah, and Belia Darzu as Dark Lords, and made Adas, Ruin, and Millennial aliens.

    Take care,
