Original Request by Mev186;

"Hey Mercy, I Had this Idea of a 'Family Portrait' Of Our Sith Characters! Besides Mainyu an Triss, there is another member of their group that goes relatively unseen. A Nine/Ten year old Girl Named Mina, She was discovered by Mainyu when a ship crashed on Lehon. Her hair is black, done up in pigtails. Her skin would be very pale because she has a condition in which her eyes are over sensitive to light. She is Mainyu's lab assistant, so she usually wears a lab coat.

In this Pic I imagine Mainyu standing with his arms crossed, smiling. Mina stands next to him making a funny face at the camera and Triss looks at her, annoyingly like a Big Sister with Tails on Triss's shoulders."

Okay, so here's my first sketch. It's not exactly what was asked for, but I thought this looked more natural.
anyway, I'm pretty happy with it except that I realised, on re-reading the request, that my picture of Mina looks more like that of a five-year-old. So I might have to have another go...

I like the first on except for the young ones head seems awkward.

I have ADOS..Attention Deficit...OOOH Shiny

Mercy

Thanks Triss! That's great!

I'm also trying to get a background I want to use. I can't find any Lab pictures that I think work...

Trisskar

hehe Triss hates the lab anyways :-p Why not a background of Lehon? The Ancient Temple on Lehon is there home :)

The first one I can see being a Lehon backdrop...
The second one is a perfect lab shot...Since Triss is often the one up on the table :-p

When ever I think of the lab...I often think of old evil wizzards office.... you know? With the skull and intestines in a bottle? Books and Tones scattered all over the place? ect? Lord Mainyu is into the sith alchemy...so hence the evil wizard imagery i get :-p ..... Lemme look around for some lab Ideas...

Hmm I think Triss and Mainyu look great in the first one, But Mina looks better in the second one.

Good Job on Both of them though ^_^

Also for a background, Might I suggest it being Lehon. Maybe on a balcony or something with the Ocean behind them. :)

Mercy

Lehon sounds like a plan, guys!

As for the sketches, I've drawn up a third picture - and I think this one's it!!
Let me know what you think...

mev186

Better... Just one thing >_< (I Don't like to be difficult). is there anyway you can make Mina look more...mischevious. Here she looks mean. Maybe a little half smirk or something like that

Mercy

Um, I can certainly give it a go!
Maybe have her smiling a bit? I'll have a play with it in PS...

Trisskar

Mina is very much an anime girl. She is always so happy and cheery and LOVES Triss, looks up to her like her big sister and hero. Even though Triss wants nothing to do with her. So A big Anime smile would prolly fit nicely ^_^

Mercy

Okay... So that's quite a bit different.
I'll see what I can do - may have to drop in a new sketch for the face. Shouldn't be too much trouble!

Mercy

I've been working on the background of Lehon - which has come together surprisingly quickly!
so here it is... I'll post again once I've sorted out Mina's new pout!

Mercy

OMG - getting worried now... this is too easy!
I've just dropped in a new face for Mina and I'm totally taken with it! I'll post again with the backdrop and a white mask on...

Trisskar

LOL Perfect!! ^_^ If I do say so myself - What say you mev? Can't wait to see the coloring!

Xanamiar

Love the background Mercy, very SWEET!!! ... pic looks good altogether as well, but that background really stands out.

mev186

SWEET! Love Mina's expression, and the Background... Wow... What wonders cling to you Mercy! ^_^

Soz im a been a bit quiet lately, but ya know SCHOOL! all the time papers stacking up quickly, but i studied hard and got 4 A's and one A- last 2 weeks so i guess im kinda gettin it going, heh. Although im a nerdy and brainy junoir that likes star wars and transformers, i got a bit off the web for a bit to study so sorry...

anywayz great pic, Tails kinda reminds me of my two cats, mainyu and triss are fab as ever! phenomenal!

Rozali ;)

Trisskar

Yea ^_^ I love Tails!! I wish I could bring him into story more often >_< Right now he just kinda lounges about in Kage... I just get so caught up in Triss's story, I forget to add the little guy in. Imma going to make it a goal to add him more in Darkness...wont be easy though...considering all the evil-ness about to happen... we shall see

Lord Crumb

The young girl in the colored pic reminds me of Punky Brewster. It looks great but I can't help thinging that the Sith Lord is getting a lap dance from the older girl while the younger picks his pockets. Ha Ha Ha.

-LCT :-)

KaelWinters

I will never be able to get Sith Brewster out of my head thanks to you Mercy .... oh and you Lord Crumb.

Mercy

Aw, shucks! Thanks man!!

Okay, so if everybody's happy with it I'll post to gallery - k?

Mercy

Oh - I've noticed this particular picture is showing significantly smaller than its original size, which does drop quite a lot of the detail... So if you guys want the Jpg just let me know and I'll email it to ya, k?

Setie

Sudden second thought but it always seems like Mercy burns through our pic requests Triss. I ponder if that is good or bad. XD

Mercy

I do love these characters! I feel like I know them and so I find it easy to create them, I don't have to work so hard to get them to look right, I guess.
It does mean I'm done awfully quickly, though. Which is sad...
