Story like no other

Hey

well im not much of an artist. i cant get far past faces, so i need some help.

i have here a list of characters in a story of mine, the characters are groweing in number and i would like for someone to talk to about them.

First of is the hardest one.

His name is Valehl. I cheated and created his planet and race.
His appearance is light blonde hair with White flecks (Streaks) He has light blue/grey eyes, and possibly a yellow lightsabre.
He also has white tattoo's (Almsot tribal like) on his neck, chest, accross his waist and nown his outer upper thigh. (Though i dont need that much detail, showing off his body)
I would like him in light clothing, both in weight and colour. loose, but not overly baggy.

Next character is Tarn. A green Twilek. Alot like the one Travis moore drew. That one would be perfect, only wearing dark pants, all star warsey, with a lightsabre. either Cyan or blue, maybe gold. but not green.

Next is my protagonist at the moment, Kavon, and his twin Khail.
Kavon, medium length dark hair, maybe brown highlights, preferably casal looking kik ass gear, purple lightsabre. under his jacket i would love a dark blue double zipped shirt. so it has a third unzipped at the top and bottom of the shirt. if that makes sense.

As for Khail, short dark hair with a silver light sabre. Shirt and almost denim like pants would be grand.
the twins are about 20, so there adults.

Alezh, is the twins older brother. he went dark side for a while. so perhapse we could have him in a darkish modern looking cloak.modern clothes under it. older then the twins. his lightsabre will be either viridian, gold or blue.

I would like two Lethan Twi'leks aswell.. Teenagers. brother and sister. They are almost slaves so rough them up some and there not very happy with there life at the moment. haha.

The last one (I will leave it here with this one) is Lain i want him to be a younger version of Galen Marek, you know Starkiller. so buzzcut and hansome. but he is a good guy, soyellow light sabre. and padawan friendly casual clothes.

all of them in Dark boots. Friendly looking (apart from the slaves, there crying our for help)

My characters are set about 24 ABY so new jedi order on Yavin 4. i dont think they werewearing jedi robes, either way my characters sure arent. which is cool.

anyway i will leave it there and hope someone will have a look at these and draw one up for me.

Thanks alot guys, keep up the good work

okay, i just realised it may be good to give some background to the chartacters, and also, literally.

The twins Kavon and Khail were more or less seperated at birth. Alezh and Kavon grew up on corellia and secretly studies some old Jedi holocrons that were trusted to there family years before.
At around 19-20 years old, Kavon went to the Yavin taining academy to learn to become a jedi.
He already had his purple lightsabre and it would be great to see Kavon in a forest environment. Khail was en route to the academy a week before Kavon . his transport ship went down and he was abducted. he was later found by Kavon, big reunion ensued. So Kail would be looking a bit scarred and ropey. but not in an ugly way. I would like to see him maybe with Kavon in the forest area, or in some Yavin-esque ruins maybe.

The Lethan Twi'lek Syblings are young, (They also have three Lekku, -head tails- this is imprtnt but may not be seen. two at the said, one at the back. This is actually a cannonical thing. in there culture, more then two lekku is a sybol of power and respect. so to see two rare lethan with three haid tails, it will just add to there unfare start in life, had they ben born on there home world, they would maybe have been treated like royalty... as luck would have it this isnt the case) they are a bit rundown since Alezh adopted them as slaves when he ws evil. So possibly seeing them on a starship, dark areas and cold looking.
Alezh (Darth Eris) favoured Droids to run his ship and these two sort of picked up the slack. offered conversation, borderline friendship to him. A good side of Alezh took pity on them, but his dark side kept them in metaphorical chains. they feared him, but cared for him at the same time. When Kavon found Eris and brought him back to the light, The Lethan's came out of there shell, saw a new sie of him and grew into promising and powerful individuals.
But for now, there young and weak, scared and alone. under Eris' protection. maybe later on i would request a picture of them grown up and maybe Jedi, maybe now. either way they are going to be mechanics and technitians on board the ship.

Valehl is an interesting character, i wanted to see an adult in a childs shoes. he comes from a world (I invented, its cheating but its not canonical so whatever) who rejected the republic. they are peaceful to the point of idiocy and are completely vulnerable. they have adaptedto use the force in there own way, and despite there planet having a local trade route of world, Valehl is what happens when one of these innocent peaceful untrusting people, leaves there world to see the republic for himself. He doesnt understand alot of the cusoms, and barely speaks galactic basic. he doesnt make friends easily and is easily horrified by the often brutality of the cold hard worlds out there.
His biggest flaw he must over come, is his fear of what he doesnt know. a jedi knows no fear, but he has a galxy full of it. His progression through the story reflects this understanding and change. to see him in a cantina or rough bar like place, holding his yellow lightsabre timidly yet firmly, would be great to reflect his personal struggle...

Also i m thinking of bringing in a Male Togruta. but i havent seen one. so for anyone wanting a personal challenge. lets see what you can come up with. I would advise starting with Shaak Ti and giving her a male face and body.
When i bring this character in (Not yet) i wont have him a jedi to start off with. not a scoundrel more of a rogue businessman. knows the tips and tricks of the (illegal) trade, and someone who hates what his life has become. maybe later i might see him with a red ightsabre... maybe he will be redeemed and keep the red sabre for the colour steriotype. who knows... i havent wrote him yet. But if someone can draw him up that would be great stuff.

(I know all my characters are male here, but i do have alot of females in my story too, but these are my major characters)

I know its alot of writing, but thanks alot for reading. I hope to hear from people soon

For simplicities sakes, and for the Artists who take requests... there is a widely known issue of requesting more than 3 characters on any one picture, in the request forum. You can make requests for each of the characters as they are taken... But if you want all the characters in one picture, I believe the way it's been done in the past is by posting such requests to the Community Discussion Forum... Because here, one person may do one or two of the characters, then the rest of the characters would be ignored.

If you are looking for seperate pictures of each character, I'd suggest making seperate threads, but please don't do them all at once, it overloads the request froum with your requests. Thanks .. .And I know what writing a story is like, and it can be very exciting to see them come to life thanks to the wonderful artists around here. Hope someone does something with them for you.

Hey,
yeah i wanted them all seperate. putting them all in one pic means character interaction and its TOOO complicated to explain how they would all react to each other to an artinst who doesnt know the characters. lol

So i would have the Twins (Khail and Kavon) in one pic or seperate and the Lethan Twi'leks in one pic maybe. but i really dont mind either way.

Thanks for the comment. but yeah. i would prefer them seperate. i guess artists can just take what thy will and let me know how you get on. haha..

Thanks for reading

Well.. if you want them seperated like that... then perhaps have someone take one set of them on this thread... and if they do, then post up a request thread for another set, so that way someone else will pick it up.. Because once an artist picks anything from this, then the thread will be moved to the Taken forum, and no other artist will even think about taking something off of it... Hope it works for you...

yeah thanks for the advice. i will have to wait and see.
So for the record then, ARTISTS- take what thy want. haha dont have to do all, just take whiche ever character you want, and message me and let me know how your doing. i will maybe post another thread later but theres no pressure.

Good work guys and girls
