Custom Bounty Hunter/Assassination Droid [grendeljd]

Hey all. Seeing as my old request was deleted (over a year old and all that), guess I'm gonna repost it. Once again, I like your guys' work a lot, and would love to see someone tackle my first (or would it be second, now?) request.

Here's some background on the droid in question:

T4-K2 was a prototype droid created as a means for providing a discreet assassin droid to the highest bidder. However, the project was deemed too expensive to maintain the cost, and all of the entire line of prototype models were destroyed, save for T4-K2 himself. The droid, before this executive decision was made, developed its own personality and independent programming and, before the company could destroy him, he got away.

Over time, T4-K2 implemented various upgrades from his original form and became a professional-grade assassin and bounty hunter. However, he developed protocol functions to keep his primary programming discreet to his targets and those associated with them.

T4-K2, as his makers intended, serviced himself out to the highest bidder, and never became affiliated with anyone but himself.

Now, on to the appearance:

Mostly, it's pretty open. I wanted to make his overall appearance a mix of HK-47 from KotOR and Grevious's MagnaGuards. Not so much that he'd look like a combination of both, but rather that he holds the intimidating presence of a MagnaGuard (and/or HK-47 when he's actually fighting), but this presence is mostly a passive one unless he intentionally shows it off. In other words, he can easily pass himself off as a protocol droid (he fooled, basically, a "fortress" of Jedi with his appearance), but otherwise he's pretty intimidating to look at. I'd at least like elements from both droid designs to be seen in his appearance, but other than that the majority of his appearance is up to whoever wishes to take up the request. Additionally, and very importantly, T4-K2 has a personality, and I would like that to show. It has not been revealed yet, but it is possible that the droid has an AI programming.

I'm not picky about armament, kind of just "whatever works," as well as any accessories that he might have. So long, of course, as he doesn't wind up looking goofy. :P He's been known to use blaster pistols, and I'd like to see a blaster rifle if it fits the theme (if not, that's fine too). Otherwise, again, whatever works.

I think that's about it. I can answer questions if need be.

I've been following your drawing on the "Scarecrow" request... this is gonna be killah!

grendeljd

Yeah, sorry I have nothing else for you to go on, I am new to SWAG. I am really looking forward to doing yours, I love drawing robots!

dredwulf60

Oh yes. He loves his robots!!! I can vouch. He loves robots like I love NINJAS! (And I love ninjas so much because they have Real ULTIMATE POWER!)

Cadden

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't saying anything bad about it. I'm just glad I could find something to compliment you for, and using it to let you know that I'm thankful for you taking it up. ;)

grendeljd

Hey, no offence taken - you said nuttin' wrong, Cadd! I was just lamenting that I don't have any art on here for you to see my finished style yet.

And man, Dred loves NInja's in a verrry nearly unhealthy way, you dig? You aren't supposed to dress that way IN PUBLIC, man!! LOL.

Cadden - just a quick update to let you know I have done a little bit of rough sketching on your character, just not enough to start up a blog. I am a bit swamped with other work/commitments lately but I am anxious to get to T4-K2.

Cadden

Sorry for the slow reply. I've gotten in the habit of checking weekly. :D

Yeah, not a problem. I'm in no real rush to see it done. Having done some very minor (very amateur ;)) drawings in the past, I at least know enough about it to know that the longer you take on it, the better it (should, if you're me ;)) turn out.

*Hits the button on the stopwatch* "aaaaand we'll call that one at 2 years. Nice!"

In all seriousness, good job man. :D

grendeljd

:(

Its pretty shameful, I know. Even though I get ridiculously busy, it shouldn't have taken this long!
