Description
This picture I've been literally working on (on and off) for nearly two years.The idea comes directly from the "Knights of the Old Republic" video game itself. When your character (Revan) goes to the Jedi Academy on Dantooine and starts training to become a Jedi, you're able to explore the world. There is this beautiful spring (which I did absolutely no justice here
That idea lasted for about half a year. I really couldn't sketch anything I was happy with. Then I just simplified it down to it just being Revan. Even still, I could not come up with a pose for Revan that would cover the important parts, well at least the top part, I knew I wasn't going to have any problem covering the bottom half. But I wanted to use her lightsaber to do it. It was extremely difficult trying to line up "everything" perfectly. And even now it's not a perfect allignment. Which actually turned out better since it shouldn't be perfect.
Revan has become a very important character to me. If I was going to do a nude pic of her I wanted to do it right. Even the pic I did of Revan in her underwear was more lighthearted and fun than anything. I wanted this picture to be . . . "honest" (for want of a better word). If Revan were taking a moment to relax in a spring and sensed danger would she reach for her clothes first or her lightsaber?
This is only the second time I "painted" a background with Paint Shop without using the "pencil" tools. The only things I drew in the pic were Revan herself, the bit of plant life, and the rocks she's touching. The first background I paitned was in my Katara pic [link] and even then I used the "pencil" tool or a pre-shape to do the moon. The waterfall gave me the biggest problem, and I most certainly overdid it
Revan's pose took a very long time to come up with. And I cannot stress how much I relied on 's photos for reference, in particular this series featuring this model [link] which you can find in their "classical nudes" gallery. It wasn't until maybe three and half weeks ago that I finally drew what would become my final sketch (this one) and the pose itself doesn't come from any specific photo. I came up with it myself, but I could not have made Revan's body look like this without those photos, so much love to and the beautiful Carly Champagne
And is it just me or does Revan kinda look like Megan Fox? Not a bad thing at all, but totally unintentional.
And yes she is anatomically correct, so for now I have no plans in posting the lineart.

Nice. And putting the other two in here would be great. Perhaps having juhani peeking over the rocks? lol.
I would expect the lightsaber to have some kind of glow on her body here. Even if its just a little on her leg....
But good job never the less.

Thanks. I could see Juhani maybe sneaking a peek. Poor cat woman got no love in the story.
I actually did take some time considering whether or not to add some lightsaber glow being reflected and decided that it wouldn't really add anything to make the pic itself better. And with everything else going on in the pic, it really wasn't needed.

I don't actually have a clue who this character is in terms of the Star Wars EU and it's games but it's very intriguing to see someone doing a rendition of a Jedi in a state of undress.
You have a great knack at drawing anatomy and giving your illustrated characters weight and movement, something which I struggle with terribly. Very impressive.

Looks very impressive. The picture is wonderful and it captures Revan's attitude well. I don't care what Lucas decides, Revan will always be female to me.

They did mess up when they gave Revan a specific gender. Bioware doesn't seem to have a problem keeping Commander Shepard's gender a mystery and the Expanded Universe isn't really doing anything with Revan anyway.

everyman alive is dead, if they see revan that way. for they wouldn't know they were about to fight her. But she looks good, as always. I could thought of the Exile coming out of a pool on Yavin IV like that seen by Atton. You just improved on my unsaid idea.

This really is amazing. it IS what Reven would do. The pose is perfect, the lighting is perfect. My only quip? I don't immediately recognize it as Reven because of the blue saber. I always played with purple and red. Even when she was good.
But this entire thing just blows me away.
Oh, and the first one to suggest Megan Fox playing Reven in a movie or video game, I castrate.

JosephB222 In reply to TM2DB [2009-08-23 03:53:40 +0000 UTC]
Thanks.
That's one of the great things about KOTOR, everyone can have their own version of Revan. My Revan goes through almost all the colors throughout her life. Yellow as a youngling, green as a padawan and Jedi, Teal as a General, Red of course as a Sith, and blue with her new identity, which she also keeps whether she returns to the dark side or stays in the light
And as much as I love Megan Fox, I wouldn't want her for Revan either. Someone a little older at least in their early thirties. I would say Angelina Jolie, but she's just been looking way to frail and skinny the past couple years

TM2DB In reply to JosephB222 [2009-08-23 17:50:16 +0000 UTC]
Plus, I'm sorry, but Angelina can't act. I mean she's okay, but she can't ACT. Revan needs a deep story of a tragic character.
I gotta say, I'm a little peeved right now with the way Lucas Arts has been screwing around with KOTOR. It was great. 2 was okay, but unfinished. They get ready to do 3 and them lose it. It was gona tie in with the comic! Now this Old Republic MMO business. I'm just not sure. The entire franchise would have been better if Lucas could have kept his grubby mitts out of it the last 10 years, but it would have REALLY been better if he'd make up his mind what he's doing, and in turn give us people that know what they're doing.
I think I'll go play KOTOR II again. I barely finished it the first time.

Hmm, a very good picture I say. It is, as you say, more than just an "I want to draw Revan nude because I like boobies!" or whatever, but a piece with deep meaning. I salute your dedication to this piece that you worked so long on it. I'd say it turned out very good!

very nice..
her apperance is how I imagined revan (apart from being naked of course.)
I think you are right...what is the point in revan grabbing her armour and then finding she's got no saber.
she can get her armour once there is no more danger.

well look at the exile in kotor 2 and revan kotor...
the Exile first finds a plasma cutter before he/she finds any clothes.
although I always thought that the Exile was taught by Revan at some point before Revan turned to the dark side....or evan after she came back to the light side.
although I always had it that Revan goes to the unknown regions and the Exile was aked to Promise Revan that he/she would stay and help rebild the Jedi Order and wait For Revan's return.
still a very nice picture...you said that you wanted Bastila and Mission in there, perhaps they are but are just out of shot.
cool.

JosephB222 In reply to wilde002j [2009-08-23 03:38:33 +0000 UTC]
The Exile might have been influenced by Revan, she was one of her most trusted Generals during the Mandalorian Wars. But then she became the Exile after the war ended and that was four and a half years before the events in KOTOR I, and KOTOR II occurs five years after that, so she would have been in exile for about ten years without any connection to the Force, so I doubt she had much if any contact with anyone she knew.
Yeah, Mission and Bastila could still be there out of sight. That's good

wilde002j In reply to JosephB222 [2009-08-23 08:43:23 +0000 UTC]
true....I always just wondered if that was were the exile learned or was influenced in to some of his/her fighting styles during the mandolorian wars.
although it is a shame that in the new star wars the old republic game there is no metion of Revan or the Exile...

Umm.....err......wow?
When I saw the preview on my main page, you should've seen my eyes almost pop out of my head like Roger Rabbit.
My idea of Revan was the model I used and you can see in my walkthrough on Youtube, but with every new pic you draw I just get more convinced she can be *my* Revan anytime.
I'm glad to see more of your great work as well as your ME walkthrough too.
Please keep up the great work!

It did take awhile to come up with my definitive version of Revan, though she doesn't look that much like the in-game model I chose.
And I can't wait for you to start your Mass Effect walkthrough

Ok where to start....
Just... damn... what an amazing piece. The background, the pose, the details are all perfect. I love everything about this piece. Her facial expression is just perfect for the situation. I just can't say enough good things about this piece. Keep up the good work, and please keep making KOTOR pics, your one of the few artists that still does.

The spring is much smaller than I made it here. If I remember correctly it's located in that area where a murder took place and you have to figure out how it happened.
