Description HOLY SHIT IT'S DONE.

So anyway, sometime last night I decided I'd finally draw Loor wearing her scarf as a tube-top. I have a red scarf just like it and do the same quite often, but I figured if I drew up Loor like that it would cause all the haters to spring out of the woodwork to scream at me for having a 'Mary Sue OC who's too sexy.' And, last night, I decided to say fuck it. Who cares? Come at me bro!

So I set to drawing this; what started out as something that was going to be a pin-up type piece of artwork suddenly turned into a practice in badassery... and for reasons unknown Loor is wearing Jak's pants and holding the Beam Reflexor.

I'm really proud of this one; it's the first time I've successfully drawn eco sparks. Also really pleased with her hair and the gun.

Either way, I'm happy.

This piece was done on a combination of MS Paint (windows 7) and Paint.net in approximately 12 hours.

I do not own Jak and Daxter.

Loor is mine. Do not steal. Do not use this character or artwork without permission.

MEOW!

-Loor

SHE'S TOO HOT SO SHE CAN'T BE A GOOD CHARACTER.

Sorry, had to do it. This is fantastic, I wish I could've been at the livestream yesterday. It looks like someone just interrupted some private time with Jak and she just threw on whatever was closest, and is now going to go and kill the interrupter.

For some reason? Yeah right, she totes stole Jak's pants. Aaaaand now I'm picturing Jak in Loor's pants, lol.

XDD flames will be used to roast marshmallows.

It's cool, I think I'm gonna start live streaming pretty regular when I'm drawing, it's kinda fun in a sorta awkward way... cause I've got a headset so I'm talking but everyone else is typing into the chatbox and I can hear NOTHING AT ALL so meow.

Either way THANK YOU!! Yeah, I'm guess that's about what happened. And honestly, seeing as Loor's pants are likely guy-pants and she and Jak are nearly the same size give or take an inch off the top, it wouldn't be that weird to see them trading clothes on a regular basis.

Though that's gotta make you wonder, does that mean Jak's about to come charging out with Loor's juice rod? Or worse, Bob?!

Haha, my flames are made of paper and set on top of a fan, i.e. they aren't real.

Yeah, I can see how that'd be weird. I don't usually have conversations where nobody talks back.

Aww, ruin all my lol worthy head images. But that's a scary thought. JAK! PUT BOB DOWN RIGHT NOW!

XDD The way you can tell if they're Loor's pants or Jak's pants is because Loor had to cut a hole in hers for Lyra's tail, though she did sew a flap over it to keep it from being obscene during the times at which she does not have a tail.

Aaaand I just got an image of someone hooking some kind of leash on the extra bit of fabric.

Jak! JAK NO. PUT BOB DOWN. YOU ARE NOT WASTING MY AMMUNITION FOR A POT SHOT AT A COUPLE OF IDIOTS. FUCK.

That seems like it'd be a big hassle... I kinda seem to have broke tradition with female DWP subjects- I think Raye/Ambika is the first one I've seen that doesn't have a tail.

Pfft, lol.

DANG IT JAK. PUT. THE GUN. DOWN. DON'T MAKE ME GET DAMAS OVER HERE, MAN. I DON'T CARE IF HE'S DEAD IN CANON, I'LL GET HIM.

LoorTheDarkElf In reply to everyone-screams [2012-06-14 23:59:12 +0000 UTC]

Well that's just the thing; Loor is meant to tackle all the cliches within the fandom and prove that they're not bad, just often written badly because the authors have no real wish to create something worth reading, just something they enjoy for themselves. And I will also call bullshit; Serenity does not have a tail. She's Fury's dark form, and she will be getting a lot more love this time around in the fic.

Fuck Damas, I'll take care of this... -tackles Jak- GUAAAAH!!

Oh, whoops. Well, one of the few, then. I totes forgot about Serenity in the seventy-five chapters of VoW. >.<

I'm really trying to do that this time around with Altered Reality- granted, I was trying to do that the first time, but the first time around, I was twelve and it was my first time writing something of that magnitude... ever. I wasn't sure HOW to write something that I'd enjoy and that people would maybe want to read. Hopefully I do now.

Jak- Jak, no, don't try to pry her off of you, it's her gun- okay, that's it! *jumps into dogpile*

LoorTheDarkElf In reply to everyone-screams [2012-06-15 04:01:28 +0000 UTC]

Well, Fury did kinda die in like chapter 10, taking Serenity with her before we even saw the monster face-to-face. Which I feel is going to make Fury's return to the story quite... interesting. Serenity will be a practically new character when we finally all get to meet her, and I feel the story will benefit from it.

I think we all have that little trouble the first time we write; we sorta just dive in without a care nor awareness of what is pandering to ourselves and what is in an audience's greatest interest. As we grow, we learn, and polish our work. That's why I love fanfiction; it's a wonderful way to practice. Even now I'm having trouble figuring out just what my readers want vs. my own wants for the story. Now that I'm in book three people squee when there's fluffy/romantic moments between Loor and Jak, but I fear that if I overdo it I'll cross a line. One must be very careful...

That's always the issue, isn't it? What everyone wants to see happen, versus what you actually want/planned to happen- you'll never manage to make everyone happy.

Especially when it comes to fluffy stuff. Romance is a hard thing to judge on the 'what's enough' scale. Especially in OCxCanon Character stories (you're ALWAYS going to get SOMEONE yelling 'Mary Sue' from the wings). But you're right, it's great practice to get into original works. I know that if I hadn't written as much as I did, I never would've been able to get anything done on my original stuff.

Well I just learned something about you, lol For some reason 'prolific' always reminds me of rocks. No idea why, lol.
And I don't believe I've ever known someone that knew defenestration was a word.

LoorTheDarkElf In reply to Oteibilitz [2012-06-14 03:46:53 +0000 UTC]

Defenestration is an amazing word!! I learned it when I introduced my mother to Girl Genius and she said that she would like to defenestrate Othar Trygavassian, and then Gil did so so yeah... Gotta love it when you're reading something and you're like 'such and such should happen to so and so' and then it DOES and you're like 'IMMA FUCKING PSYCHIC'

That it is!
And I've heard of this Girl Genius, never read it though. I'm assuming it's good?
Ack, that happens to me waaay too often. To the point where my constant correct predictions piss people off. Actually, they're more like statements. *watches/reads* "This'll happen." *does* *annoyment of others*

XDD Happened when I watched Avatar the Last Airbender. My Hubby introduced me to it and we marathon-ed the whole series cause he happened to own it. Pretty much at least twice every episode, more often with Sokka was involved, I would say something that I felt should be said, and someone (usually Sokka) would say it about five seconds later. Or other stuff like predicting actions, major reveals, ect. My hubby got all mad at me at first like 'You've seen this before, admit it!!' and then, about half-way through, he's like 'Dude... if I read the credits I'm gonna find your name on the writing staff, aren't I?'

Girl Genius is AMAZING. I would rate it above Homestuck in the case of some chapters, particularly the one dealing with coffee. That and they ALWAYS update on-schedule. This pleases the Loor. That and there is a guy who regularly gets defenestrated, so what's not to love?

I KNEW I recognised the Beam Reflexor! Aside from the Mass Inverter, it's my favourite of the morph gun mods. Gotta love beam spam ♥

Anyway, much love for the eco sparks and the shinies in her hair, and the lighting is really fantastic.

Thank you so much! This picture had a lot of new things I'd never done before in it, so I'm so happy it worked out.

Yeah, I love the BR too, and it fits with Loor's fail-tacular aiming ability... If Jak ever handed her a gun, it's gonna be that or the scatter gun just because of her not so amazing skills.

Lmfao yeah that probably woulda been a bit disquieting. Its a song I like to sing becaise my mom sang it all the time when I was a kid. Earlier in the stream I had been singing 'Still Alive' from Portal.
