New Jaina/Jag wallpaper on deviantart: http://graciekane.deviantart.com/art/Jaina...g-Fel-158024171

(If there's a better place for this post, like in the art section or something, let me know.)

[XO edit: Yep, we'll move it here. :) ]

:notworthy: Wow! That is excellent! I don't believe I've seen that artist's work before.

She did such a beautiful job with that!! :wub:

And the lyrics she picked, fit them both wonderfully!

That's really pretty.

I was surprised by the lyrics. At first I thought "Can You Feel The Love Tonight?" Really?
But those specific lyrics work really well.

And she did do a really great job with the design.

That's gorgeous! I just saved it to my laptop and am using it as a wallpaper. So pretty and suits them so well!

This is only the Jaina half, but for some reason I felt compelled to sketch this today. It is loosely based on a photograph I saw of Natalie Portman.

White pencil on black rough paper, 5x7

"Imperial Jaina: Black Becomes Her"

I wasn't quite happy with that one, so I've altered her a little...

It's Monet's disease. No picture is ever finished.

:wub: That is simply Beautiful, just Beautiful, Scrubs !! :applause:

Can't wait to see the other half.

Thanks, Kailene.

This one is giving me fits -- I think it's the black paper. My scanner isn't reading the colors at all. Now that I've been out to the market and looking at it with fresh eyes, the original looks more like evil Daala (or even an angry Mara) than Jaina.

I'm going to try to scan it again with different parameters. I'd like to be able to show you a truer version of the sketch.

As for "part 2", I'm thinking I may redo this one to be more like Jaina, and just include Jag in it. We'll see.

Finally! The color is correct now...

Too sinister for Jaina??

I like the colors and the feel alot.

My writing suffers from Monet disease then. Because I read it and continuously want to tinker.

If I might suggest, perhaps the eyes are a little two "almond"? (not sure if that makes sense) Thus the sinister vibe you might be projecting.

Not too sinister. That's just Jaina's "I'm looking at you, Sue Rostoni" face. :menace: :menace: :menace:

Love it, Scrubs! :notworthy: :notworthy:

That doesn't count, Lex.

Scrubs did my most favorite fanart ever in the cover of Option Number Three. You should put that up here.

Thanks, guys!

Did I ever explain what "Monet disease" is about? Not sure if I have here in the 'tina. Just in case:

Monet liked to visit the Louvre wearing his painter's smock. When the guards weren't looking, he would take out a brush he had hidden in a pocket and touch up his paintings here and there. Even the Master was never satisfied. :heehee:

Excellent observation! More rounded eyes would definitely soften her look although in the photo I used for inspiration, Portman does, in fact, have rather almond-shaped eyes although they are a bit more round. I flattened these a bit too much. That's one of the things I will change, either on this drawing or the next. :waytogo: Thanks!

:rotflmao: The funny thing is, that thought crossed my mind while I was sketching this. Probably why she has that sinister look... :thinking: If only we could let Jaina loose at DR and LFL...


BTW, I have the complementary Jag picture worked out. Just have to sketch it today.


TKL, because you asked -- you and this holocap! :lol:

You're so talented, oldj. :) Nice job.

I found a manip: http://GracieKane.deviantart.com/art/Jag-a...tment-163069189

And FotJ era:
Jaina
Jag (discussing the Jedi with Daala)
(He's reminding me a bit of Ozymandias from Watchmen :p )

That one by GracieKane of Jag & Jaina in the apartment is beautiful. Jaina looks so calm and at peace.

Very good!

I love J/J fanart. But I'd really like some more cover art.

The apartment picture does convey a sense of serenity. That is something that was done well in Backlash and Allies. There were multiple moments when J or J calmed the other down, and you could sense the serenity loving each other gives them. So it's nice to see it depicted in art.

Ok. This next one's from me. It's in celebration of the Empire Striking Back. :) Also I had a lot of fun with some of my designs at work this week and got good response so I wanted to keep that fun going. I was going to make a book cover but I dislike the cover style so much... :p Maybe sometime when I have more patience.



Edit: If it's too big and making people's screens funky just let me know and I'll take it down and resize it smaller. (Or a mod can remove the image if it's past my editing window.)

Well done!! I like the sense of mood you've created. :applause: :applause:

Thanks, oldj. It's sort of unfortunate that Jag's scar and white hair get lost in the shadows but I really like the shadows.

By the way, the Aurabesh says "Victory Without War". :p Because I'm a nerd like that. :)

Great art, Hotshot! :waytogo: B-) :D

:wub: The Empire definetely does need to Strike Back !

Very nicely down B-)

Love the "Victory without War"

Love it!

Awesome! I like the colors and agree the shadows are great.

Jag reminds me of Scott Foley.

Oh this is exciting:

That's a great start! I'd love to see more... :applause:

She has a lot of talent, I really liked looking at the rest of her stuff.

The Second part of the Rebel Dream comic is up:

Thanks to Lex buying a Christmas present for himself, I've been reworking the image of Soontir from his package to see if I can come up with a new picture of Jagged.

I'm still tweaking, but this is what I have so far:




Opinions? Concrit? (Please remember there's only so much one can do with a pixelated image. Thanks.)


And, yes, I borrowed the uniform from BSG. :heehee:

Our little Jaggie is all grown up. :)

Oldj, are his eyes brown? :O Heh.

You've made nice progress.

:lol: Yes, his eyes are brown -- at the moment. There's a lot yet to be done.

Don't worry, his eyes will be green, and he will be tall, too. :heehee:

Here, SnF... green eyes. That better? :giggle:

Great work, Scrubs! :D B-) :waytogo:

He looks very sophisticated (which I think Jag is). Much better with the green eyes. I think you reworked the scar a bit too? I was going to comment on the first, but it looks much better in the second.

Thanks.

It isn't great, but I'm going to keep playing with it. I just can't stand those same two pictures any more... :p

Sooooooooooooo much better. :wink: :waytogo:

Trying out some new software...

Do any of you have 3D glasses? If so, can you tell me whether this photo actually comes across as 3D?

Here's a nice Jaina fanart back cover for Apocalypse by Saith Vaapar
