Kyla Rand Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Well, you guys are just too nice! I'm glad to see that people here actually comment the pics, because on some other places, well, it's goes like "cool pics" or "nice stuff". If I'm posting stuff, it's mostly to get constructive feedback that will motivate me to make more pics! @Chainz.2da: in fact, I only use photoshop to resize my pics. My main tools are pencil (B, 2B graphite mechanical pencils), very fine black ink markers (like rotring or pentel markers) and I color them with copic markers (japanese color alcohol markers, pretty expensive but very very long lasting. I have mine for almost five years now! and they have a huge range of colors, 270 in total!) I'm too lazy to use photoshop, and I really like the feeling of colouring with traditionnal media. I'm also fond of watercolor, which is the medium I use for the comic book I'm working on. If you are interested in my work, I have a deviant art page. There are samples of what I do for my comic book. There are lots of crappy old stuff there too! and loads of fanart! http://kyla79.deviantart.com @Montnoir: I'll be checking that artist right away! thanks for your comments! here are two more drawings: Here are my versions of female Revan (on top) and female Exile(bottom, if you hadn't guessed, haha boy am I funny)I wanted to show through the facial structure how they are different (I picture revan as a cold, dark sider and the Exile as a good but lost soul) And here is a pic showing the exile not knowing which one she should choose: the brave and courageous Carth, the creepy scoundrel, or Darth Fluffy (a mean kitten owned by a "forum friend" on the unofficial Kotor 2 forum, Exile, also known as Welchtect on deviantart).

Well I do hope you keep treating us to more of your work I'm doubly impressed and now an even bigger fan at the fact that you hand color your artwork (my preferred method). I'm surprised to see you use a mechanical pencil (I hear alot of ppl complain the point is too hard), but you've seemed to throw that theory in the "can"... heheh One last 'pick of your brain'.. what's your preferred medium? Canvas, sketchpad, rice / trace paper (youch) or heck... notebook paper hehehe... I went to your site and looked over your other artwork...wow. I am happy to say it now resides in my bookmarks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyla Rand Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 thank you, chainz.2da! In fact, my favourite paper to draw on is... printing paper... Yup, the one you stick in your printer, the plain, white paper... In fact, it absorbs the markers very well (even if it does go through the paper, so you have to make sure to protect the table you are working on with something thicker, like cardboard or so.) and it's perfectly sooth. Otherwise, I use Montval 300gr watercolor paper to do all my painting stuff. the only problem is that the surface isn't plain, so it's difficult to get clear and smooth lines. that's why I practice the spontaneity of my lines as much as possible!

Kyla Rand Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Just a little pic of revan with a slight gothic look... I love goth stuff, especially drawing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeiamyourdad Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 She looks like a schoolgirl...hmmm... The lightsaber looks a bit odd. When you look at the hand and the saber, it seems like the saber suddenly curves. A bit like Dooku's saber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Lion54 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 These are fantastic and look professional. As to the emotion it "brought a tear to me eye"(quote from Scotty, ST:Generations) One of the things about cut scenes in games, they very rarely capture the emotion. Your art brings life to stoic polygons. My only problems are Revan and Exile, the art is great, I just have my prefered PC character engraved upon my mind as each one. I guess its comparable to when someone you've known to have a beard shaves without warning But, yea, GREAT WORK!!!!! One question though. Whats next?!?!?!?!

Drazin Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Like Chainz Said, I am doubly impressed that you do the colors freehand. If you don't do this professionally, maybe you should start. I know alot of Game makers need concept artists for their 3d renderers to model from. Well, I dont know them personally... but anyways, even "concept Artist" would be beneath your talents. Great work, Maybe someday I'll have the courage to post something of mine. I highly doubt that though, LOL. I can color sketches and black and whites almost to picture quality using photoshop, but you put colored pencils or markers in my hand and I simply CANNOT do it. So once again, great work and keep it up! Ever Envious, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobo Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 oh quit being a fuddy dud. Revan would be more of a woman really. (woohoo 300th post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChAiNz.2da Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 @Darth_Krow & Bobo I'm quite sure the warning has been given before, let's not start trolling this thread too. Drop the male / female topic ok? Kyla has been generous to share her artwork and talent with the rest of us. She, nor the rest of us, do not need or want to hear it again... Well how bout I start a thread and lets see if they think he is a male or female? Yes do that rather than trying to thrash someone else's thread... again...

tk102 Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Not a good idea. How about just dropping that topic altogther and getting back on-topic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblue789 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Krow, I already made a topic somewhat like that (http://lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146576), if you would like to discuss it, simply make a post there saying something about as to why you believe Revan should always be a guy in EVERYONE's minds... And see if you get any replies. T_T Also, after looking through you deviantART stuff... WOW. I like the Atton + the "schuttas." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyla Rand Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 Here is a comic I did to illustrate one of my fanfics. This is just the first page. And I also realised that she can't be wearing a jedi robe so soon in the story... Anyway, here it is! and here is a link to a bigger image so you can at least read the texts! http://www.deviantart.com/view/16710868/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukeiamyourdad Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 The Exile has unusually large boobs. What? It's not like it's hard to notice! Oh and I'm nitpicky. You've written "wining" instead of "whining" in Atton's last bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChAiNz.2da Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Originally posted by Kyla Rand page 2 of my Atton/Exile comic! youch, you really have a knack for portraying emotion.. I think "I" felt that slap hehe Curious... will these eventually be colored, or remain black & white as per "news style" strips? B&W is perfect, but I could only imagine what they'd look like in living color... Just wondering... as if you didn't have enough work on your palette.. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyla Rand Posted April 3, 2005 Author Share Posted April 3, 2005 Yes! it will be eventually be coloured with copic markers, like the rest of most of my kotor fanart. Thanks for always looking around my stuff, chainz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
