I totally agree, Ray. I didn't get to do too much color work in my WEG days. When I got the chance I jumped on it! Dasha Defano seemed to become somewhat of a favorite among players.

Wish I had come across her back in the day.

I thought you might like to see this.
I wish we saw the markings for her helmet.

Thank you for the tip, John. Always nice to see how others spin my work. *smile* Hmmm...I see that THIS Dasha has the facial tattoo I added to her after I got the art back from WEG. Hmm...does seem, however, to be on the wrong side of her face. As for her helmet...and any stylings...perhaps I will do a piece of art that addresses that issue!

Ok, fixed the mistake with the tattoos.

Let me know if and when you start to work on a helmet for her. Turns out is also a fan of Dasha Defano.

He's actually working on a Dasha piece for me.

I will switch the tattoo to the other side. And yes, I would love to see her helmet with markings.

Thanks, Leo! *smile* It's nice to see that someone is well-versed on these subjects. I'm sure some of that information is on the card itself..but that set was packed away long ago.

My WEG days were alot of fun, Leo...and I consider myself fortunate to have gotten the chance to add to the Star Wars canon. But the part the brings me the most satisfaction is the thought that my work mattered to the dedicated game-players.

(BTW, how much for the original card? 
π: 0 β©: 1
It's a watercolor piece. About 6 by 4 inches. Think about half of the originals have been sold over the years...but still have her. It has a decade-old pencil marked price on it of $100.
π: 0 β©: 2
I'd buy that for a dollar!

You, sir, are a silly, silly man!

It's a great price, but not something I can really afford, unfortunately.

Hey, do you still have this one? I think I could pay for it now...

Im the proud owner of it now actually

I've commissioned several pieces from the Darkstryder, if you are interestedΒ

Awesome! Thius particular image is slightly different than the one that got published in the Darkstryder game. I added the facial tattoos as (unfortunately) an afterthought.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah; she didn't have the tattoos in the Darkstryder card; but there were references in Wookieepedia to her species having them sometimes... so what I came up with with the GM's nod was that they got the tats to mark a great achievement... so my character got one on her forehead after (I don't recall exactly) becoming squadrom leader, or after blowing up a huge-ass imperial ship.

And this was used in the Darkstryder campaign set? I too liked that you'd use more aliens than we saw/see in the movies.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes...I remember the Darkstryder assignment because I got to use color. Twas fun! I have a group of the cards in the Gallery...but "FlyGirl" is one of the few originals I still have. You may notice that I added facial tattoos AFTER publication. Things moved along pretty quickly under the pressure of deadline, so that kinda detail was an after-thought.

oh - it reminded me of the comic book series "Yoko Tsuno"
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmmm...I'm unfamiliar with that series. "FlyGirl" was done for a Star Wars RPG card series, and was originally printed without the facial tattooing.

In the comic story Yoko Tsuno and her friends meet aliens that look like humans only they have light blue skin - go google and youll see

Aaah! Blue-skinned aliens with white hair. Coool! The comic has a great retro-scifi styling, which I think is fantastic!
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah I used to read them a lot - and you see why I thought of it
π: 0 β©: 0
Yeah, that's awesome. I love to see the Rebels representin', especially when artists show alien or female characters since there weren't many in the movies. And she's pretty!

Thanks again, Nemonus. "FlyGirl" was part of a set of Star Wars cards I did for a West End Games assignment. Some of the other cards are in my Gallery. They were fun to do. Enjoyed my West End days!
