Xiahou Dan

This is a request from Purcell.

An interesting sort of story, since I was originally asked to complete this particular request by a guy calling himself Xiahou. It was only after I had accepted the request that I found out that this character had been stolen word for word from the Wiki site Purcell had created!!
Check this out here for full details...

The character has been changed a bit now and the impostor Xiahou has taken off to a chorus of jeers. So here I am completing the request, after some time on hold in my ever-growing list, for Purcell.
Enjoy!

This line work looks great, Mercy! But I have a little suggestion... I think his posture is a tad feminine, with the jutting hip and all. If that's the intent, then great! I just thought I should mention it.

Hmm, I think you're right, Asok. Which is a bit of a bother...

I really like the little medalion hes got on his belts.
Could I add he only uses one lightsaber?

Amazing and speedy as always :)

Sure thing, Purcell!
I had the idea he'd added a second or something...

How's this?

Thoughts on background??

Haha. Asok. Feminine, indeed!

Aw, you say nice things Bwa!

with the hip copped to the side it does look kind of feminine...however...considering his species...they generally do look a bit feminine I think..

o0o0o0o I'm loving it <3
As for a background I have no idea.

Oh and while browsing the internet while I was supposed to be working I found this.

Enjoy it, you will come to worship Richard as I have.
And look out for the different songs they sing later on, pure magic.

Well, we have only seen female Togruta in the movies/cartoons... so take some liberties. ;)

Actually, I only had the sway in that hip 'cause the weight is on his right leg as he steps forward...

OMG! REading the comic now - that is SO funny, Purcell!!!

ALL HAIL RICHARD!!!

I did something like 300 pages of the comic in one night, thank Richard (God) I didn't have to be at work the next back.

hehe absolutely love both comics ^_^

Sorry guys, computer has died on me...
this may take a while - I've had to get a new hard-drive and I'm missing so much stuff!

Its all cool Mercy.
Any idea what went wrong?

Not really sure - still working on it...
C drive had some sort of fundamental malfunction, and I seem to be having other issues too which may result in having to buy a new computer. Poo.

Yep, computer is toast.
Currently using hubby's one, but it doesn't have any of my stuff on it...
Will let you know when I get a new one up and running!

Not a problem :)

I hope you're doing well, Mercy! Hope your computer problems can be healed- but i know how pricey new boxes can be. Just take care of yourself, and we miss you!

Thanks Razor!

Okay! The new PC is up and running - and here's the base colours up for Xiahou Dan.
Hope you like. Any changes, just let me know!

Good to have you back Mercy ... Sorry to hear about your troubles :(

Nice watercolor-ish background! I like.

Do you have PS brushes for that?

Boshuda

Thanks Xan! It's good to be back!

Asok - I've only recently found these brush settings on PS. You probably have them too!

I sooo desperately want to learn to do what you do, Mercy. You're fantastic. I love those pants!

Aw, you say such lovely things, man!!

Mercy, it looks amazing!
I love the pants sooo much :)

So good having you back.

*hugs for Mercy*

Hee hee!
*hugs back!*

Just got a new monitor, The Red looks really good! Can't wait to see the finished portrait ^_^
