Description
My submission for the challenge "Atonement". Here we see the ghosts that haunt Atton everywhere he goes: the Jedi he killed. He can't remember any of their names or faces, but they're still there, his silent accusers, always reminding him of his need for redemption.
Atton and the Jedi were drawn separately. Atton was drawn and shaded in pencil, then airbrushed; the Jedi were sketched out in pencil, then shaded digitally and airbrushed. This was a bit of a rush job, so the end product isn't as good as I would like. But hey, that's life.
Though I did use a reference for Atton, it was a K2 wallpaper I have saved on my computer, so I can't remember where I got it. If anyone knows where it could've come from, please send me a link. Thank'ee!
EDIT Jan 1 '11: Finally got my graphics tablet to work properly (for the first time ever), so I went back and changed a couple things in this piece that bothered me.

The jedi way though is forgiveness, so hopefully when he became one with the force and met those jedi, he would see that he is forgiven and be at peace for once....

I can't help it; I love all your pictures of Atton! So sweet that he's in the light, and they are covered in darkness!

This is freakin' epic, my dear! Ack, since I don't vote in club challenges, I'm always so tickled to get my way!
As I've said, I adore how you draw Atton. And the perspective of this is just brilliant.
Oh, and could the reference possibly have been this ---> http:[]//crimsonkeep.com/kotor2/displayimage.php?album=1&[]pos=8 (without the 2 []'s)?

LOL! Thank you so much, J. I appreciate your support, as always!
Thanks for trying to locate the reference, too. I didn't use that one, though. Atton was actually in the pose I drew him in, profile and all. It was a wallpaper of the common area of the Ebon Hawk -- kinda bluish, except for Atton, who stood off to the side in all his technicolor glory. It might have come from the Crimson Keep. I'll have to look for it.

Atton looks very much like himself in this picture... and is that some Kreiabraids I see on that one Jedi there?
Very nice.

juliaharrison In reply to myaen [2009-02-24 05:43:06 +0000 UTC]
Thank you! Ha... yeah, I couldn't resist giving that particular Jedi some Kreiabraids. They're a tad longer than Kreia's, but hey. She was still the inspiration.

Kekeke, I'm so smart.
What about the one with his hood off? Is that one Carth-based or something?

juliaharrison In reply to myaen [2009-02-24 05:58:12 +0000 UTC]
Haha. Nah, that was just a random "hey! I want to give him a beard and black hair!" He started out having darker skin, but somehow the darker-ness got lost along the way, and I thought, eh, oh well... just leave it.

myaen In reply to juliaharrison [2009-02-24 18:58:51 +0000 UTC]
Haha. Well, he looks Carth-ey anyway.

Wow, beautiful work here! I love the shading and use of contrast to create mood. You also drew a great likeness of Atton (and his biceps are certainly impressive...). It's a cool idea and works really well for the atonement theme.

juliaharrison In reply to GrecianUrn [2009-02-23 17:50:00 +0000 UTC]
Thanks a bunch, dear! This idea has been banging around in my head for some time now, so I'm glad to get it out of there, finally!
Oh, you don't know how happy I am that you think Atton looks like Atton. Seriously, I'm sure I got some gray hairs while working on his profile. It was CRAZY. Just one stray line and, depending on where it was, he would look (1) too Latino OR (2) too Neanderthalish OR (3) like he had a massive overbite!!!
Oh, and the biceps? Haha. Um, just copying the game model.

Lweeling [2009-02-23 06:42:09 +0000 UTC]
I really like the idea. Somehow, it seems to me that the jedi are accusating, and Atton is very lonely on this.

juliaharrison In reply to Lweeling [2009-02-23 17:33:29 +0000 UTC]
Thank you! Yes, this is how I have always imagined Atton feeling when he thinks of his past: all alone against a multitude of accusers, and not only that, but guilty. They are right to accuse him. I'm glad that it felt the same way to you.

Fantastic work, and a great concept.
And your Atton looks just like in-game Atton!

Thanks! LOL. Yeah, I tried to stick as close to the reference as possible on this one. Meaning I had to erase his profile at least twelve times!!
