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.

That mosaic doesn't bother my eyes at all. Very subtle.

Get on skype to get your file, unless you just want to download and reupload this same sized image

If you use an art program (PS for me) that can copy paste and merge layers well and make an overlay layer, you can make the mosaic. Take your copyright stamp, duplicate it and space it evenly. Every time you duplicate and place it, merge the 2 layers together and duplicate again, so that every time you will double the size of your mosaic (saves time when making a big one). When it covers your entire piece, make the mosaic white, set it to overlay mode, and a low transparency level (I used 5%). Done.

does the mosaic overlay the whole piece, or just the background (layer mask?)

good point, i use GIMP, pretty much the same

Place it over the whole thing, top layer, so that it becomes an even texture. The key part is that it needs to cover your character/concept so that if someone steals the image they can't just cut out your copyright stamp, as it's subtly spammed all over it.

Most I just slap my initials and date stamp on, but some of my better work or by request I sign freehand with my wacom (so hard).
