Asok
Member since: 2007In the vein of JawaStu's old weekly (or so) updates, I think it's time to recap the blizzard of new entries - and new artists!
In case you weren't aware, SWAG just accepted several new contributing guild members - among them Tusserk, JohnGWolf, Dranubis and davankabak - all of whom have been uploading awesome high quality art.
Recent submissions include some very delightful portraits and scenes from Tusserk's own misadventures. There's a poor Ryn harangued by dwarfish Ranats, some very emotional portrayals, a few classic portraits, and the cutest duo you've ever seen.
Dranubis has established a theme of a sort of Star Wars-y graphic design with squadron patches - most recently a devilish Jolly Roger for an indomitable lady pirate - as well as some awesomely intense character portraits in a unique bold toon-ish style.
Davankanak, being the skilled starship deckplanner he is, has kicked off his newfound member status with an intricate deckplan (a bit too intricate, maybe - we might need a higher resolution download option!).
JohnGWolf contributed some rather intensely detailed character portraits with a very unique paint style, including his eponymous Jedi, an iron knight, and a modified nanny droid schematic.
TNJ added a few classic 3D pics - a very moody portrait of a malevolent she-sith, and a continuation of the Star Wars Xenomorph series (complete with load-lifter!).
Among the new submissions are several completed requests - all contributed by brand-spanking new guildies. JohnG nicely filled a request for a 2001-esque space station, a tattoo design of a wicked lightsaber, a Miraluka sith lord and a Togorian Jedi, all sporting his own brand of detailed paint style, with solid form and intense lighting effects.
Tusserk completed a few requests too - one humorous piece of a "Wookiee with knickers" (which is both a skillful rendition in Tusserk's typical delightful fashion and also conceptually hilarious), and a soulful portrait of a Fosh biologist. Both sport hallmarks of Tusserk's fun style.
Let's not forget an old(er) favorite, Mercy ;) who just completed a request of her own - a half-mechanical crab-man mechanic (?)! Aside from being up to Mercy's usual standards of quality art (and bearing her usual hallmarks) it's also a highly imaginative interpretation. And those Jawas just sell the whole thing for me. ;)
I love Mercy Jawa's :)
And a huge applause for everyone else as well :)
Clap clap clap
Congrats to the new Guild Members!
Welcome new artist. Hurrah...Hurrah
Kia kaha
To SWAG shall ye steer, all ye sons o' the classics.
Poor poets, poor artists, poor fan-boys and knaves.
To see what the fun is, that all fun surpasses.
As we bow down and worship George Lucas like slaves.
Welcome!
