Description Here's a commission for ~abellius of 3 classes of Miralukan soldiers for a Star Wars RP. I'll likely be doing an additional 3 designs in the future.
I'm also testing out a mosaic watermark on this image. The goal is for it to be completely unobtrusive for viewing, but almost impossible to edit out and easy to read. Don't worry, I wont be putting this on all of my images, let me know what you think about it

Each soldier has been given cybernetic eyes to allow then normal vision in conjunction with their natural force powers, which are also enhanced with temple implants.
All the suits are fully sealed and can attach air tanks for operations in vacuum or hazardous atmospheres. They can also equip jet packs for zero-g ops. Armored helmets contain coms gear and information displays, with supplemental communications and planning gear in wrist devices or pads.

On the left is the Recon/Sniper class. It's helmet has enhanced optics for surveillance and spotting. Loadout is generally light in order to remain mobile. Common primary weapon choices are a designated marksman blaster rifle (shown held), or for missions that call for extra power, a much larger combination blaster/projectile rifle.

Center is an Infiltrator class suit. It's loadout is the lightest and suit materials the most flexible for quick and stealthy movement. The soles of it's boots have special friction pads that allow it to scale walls. This character carries a light saber, pistol, and small knives.

Right most is the heavy trooper. With heavy armor and weapons it can take and deal out a lot of damage. Currently it carries a hip mounted tri-barrel blaster with large capacitors and cooling mechanisms.

Oooh an impressive set up, and the 'classes' are well defined without looking too over the top. Nice designs!

You should to call the Recon person a "she". It's too obvious on the breasts. Very well done, though.

I refer to all of them in fluff without gender. As each class can be either, even if the ones shown are particular.

These are some amazing designs.
How did you draw this? There's a hand-drawn charm to the characters, but the image as a whole has a computerised feel to it.

It's all done in photoshop, I just follow a similar process to traditional ink and marker concept work.

I think the watermark looks good, that's a clever way to go about doing it.

Shimmering-Sword In reply to Osha-Briefs [2012-03-28 07:16:00 +0000 UTC]

I've seen it used a few times before, so when I was asked to create a working watermark for this I decided to try a mosaic instead of just slapping my name clearly right across the center of the characters.

Thrungir In reply to Shimmering-Sword [2012-03-28 08:01:04 +0000 UTC]

Entire universe, just looks way too advanced to be star wars. Sure you can get the advanced look from the armor that the clones wear or droids and stuff. But this just looks wayyy to advanced to be starwars, its more like cyber punk stuff imo

Styrox-Art In reply to ??? [2012-03-28 06:01:07 +0000 UTC]

The designs turned out great, especially the Infiltrator class!

I also gotta point out that the watermarking seems to work well, I didn't notice it at all until you mentioned it in the description!

Shimmering-Sword In reply to Styrox-Art [2012-03-28 06:24:19 +0000 UTC]

While a few said the watermark isn't very readable when you do try to read it (a slight bad for legit people) I think it's still strong enough that it would irritate the thieves.

Styrox-Art In reply to Shimmering-Sword [2012-03-28 06:36:28 +0000 UTC]

The only thing that I find difficult to read is the date. The gray color combination and the small text makes it melt into the background, but then again the date ain't the most important part of this watermark!

Sorry.

My inner fanboy broke out.

I don't know how.

I don't even have a key for his cell.

Just a lock and a few hundred pounds of cement.

Keep up the good work, Shimmer.

Interesting, but I thought the Miraluka were blind... so how exactly is one going to be able to fire a weapon? I mean I know they evolved to a level where they only need the force to know where they're going or how to wield a lightsaber, but how exactly are they going to fire a blaster rifle with no line of sights?
