CortoCG Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 I have this idea of the Noghris as baboons with claws and some primitive clothing. In JA they look more like africans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Bond Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 @TK-8252 Okay, you consist to hear an answer, then I'll give you an answer that should satisfy you. Actually it has to do something with the Dark Forces II Enhanced MOD. There is a possibility that the Noghris will appear there and if it is just in a possible Add-On "Dark Forces II Enhanced: Jedi Knight - Mysteries of the Sith MOD" where the Noghris first appeared in a Star Wars game. So we could discuss now, how the Noghris outer appearance could be improved. So in this way it has something to do with the Dark Forces MOD and if it is just for an Dark Forces MOD Multiplayer Model. And if you ask what the Dark Forces Enhanced MOD has to do with this forum then I suggest you better read this thread Dark Forces II Enhanced (JK Mod) Discussion. Happy now Perhaps you want to write now something about our topic here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Bond Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 @Hapslash I've got the screenshots of the Noghris from jedi Academy, but it seems I can't upload the pictures here. Should I send them to you via eMail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Ah! I see now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Despite Mr Bond's somewhat questionable reasoning, this has nothing to do with the Dark Forces Mod. Moved to the Jedi Academy forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Bond Posted May 14, 2004 Author Share Posted May 14, 2004 @The_One Okay, you're right. I must confirm that I didn't thought about that possibility. This topic does fit better here. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HapSlash Posted May 14, 2004 Share Posted May 14, 2004 Well,... now that this is in the JA forum, you can probably post those pics now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Bond Posted May 15, 2004 Author Share Posted May 15, 2004 @HapSlash I'm sorry, but I still can't upload the pictures. If you want to see them, I could send the screenshots to you. Or you buy Jedi Academy ; Have you read the books from Timothy Zahn? Otherwise it would probably be uninteresting to see the screenshots if you don't have any reference to compare.

HapSlash Posted May 16, 2004 Share Posted May 16, 2004 Yeah, I've read them, one of the very few SW books I could read without getting bored half way through. If you could e-mail me the pics, that would be great,... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HapSlash Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 I've taken a look at the pics,... Ugghh Look!... Blue Cro-Magnon wrestlers! I too saw something completely different while reading the books. They were never describd as being the large hulking beasts we see everywhere, but the artist at Dark Horse decided to draw them that way for the comics, and the image seems to have stuck ever since. I have the 'Heir' comics around here, and can scan a pic off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Bond Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 I would be glad to see a scan of the 'Heir' comics. Do you mean that the Noghris from Jedi Academy are the same as the artist of Dark Horse has drawn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 To me, they look like the species of Unas found in the Stargate universe:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Bond Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 @Andy867 That's right, I also thought about that. Or like blue versions of Frankenstein's monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HapSlash Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Originally posted by J_Bond Do you mean that the Noghris from Jedi Academy are the same as the artist of Dark Horse has drawn? Not quite the same, but you can definitely see how the comic has influenced the visual representation of the Noghri. Each Noghri had his own style of clothing, but they all shared the same basic appearance. I don't have a lot of good references as most of the scenes are drawn viewing odd angles or with the characters at a distance. And then, there is the weapon that they use in JA, which is virtually identical to the representation from the comic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Bond Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 Thank you for the scans, HapSlash! The weapon is nearly the same, perhaps a little bit shorter. The robe is also the same like the one from Jedi Academy. But the Noghri on the scan reminds me somehow on the Noghri of MotS. The Noghri doesn't look as I imagined, too, but it looks 100% better than the one of JA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
