Female Jedi Padawan [Drig]

Hey guys! I have a request for a drawing. Yay. Heh. What can I say, you guys create excellent art here.

The drawing I'm requesting is of my favorite RP character, a former Jedi who fell to the Dark Side named Rianna Xi. However, as you will note, the thread title is asking for a drawing of a Padawan. The reason for this is that we've been doing 'mini' games exploring events in the background of the characters, and the one I played for this character took place while she was still a Padawan and was age 16. I'd never given a huge amount of thought as to what she'd been like at that age, but quite frankly, playing her as an insecure Padawan instead of a psychotic murderer was awesome (not to mention entertaining).

And thus I would like to see if anyone would be able to draw her at that age!

So, some information about Rianna. She is not exactly the ideal temperament for a Jedi, being quick-tempered, stubborn, and very impatient. She is also very easily distracted and extremely restless and doesn't quite excel at her studies to become a Jedi - diplomacy bores her and strikes her as a waste of time, and she's not very strong with the Force and can't be bothered to hone her skills. Where she really excels is her fighting abilities - she's a very talented lightsaber duellist, and though she is lacking in strength (read - she's a weakling) she's still very combat capable. She refuses to use any sort of weapons except for lightsabers, though.

As for her appearance...

While at the age of 16 Rianna hasn't yet reached her adult height, she is still quite tall for a human female her age (or in general), with a height of 5'8"/1.73m. She is also thin to the point of bony skinniness, only weighing about 110lbs/50kg, and doesn't really have much of a figure to speak of. Basically, she's a twig. She has bright red hair that she wears cut about chin-length; it is rather wavy and tends to be a bit unruly. Like all Padawans, she wears the traditional braid in her hair. Her skin is very fair (ghostly pale would be a good way of putting it), though she has a few light freckles across her nose. Her eyes are a light, almost icy blue color. As far as her facial features go, her eyes are rather almond-shaped, looking almost Asian. She has full lips and a slightly pointed chin, and her face is heart-shaped.

(as far as her facial features go, I've found that Emily Browning is the closest I've found to how Rianna would look - any pictures from this photoshoot work quite well, this and this picture being very Rianna-like in appearance and expression)

Clothing-wise, as she's a Padawan, she wears traditional Jedi robes that are a shade of muted medium brown with a cream-colored undertunic; her cloak is dark brown and her boots black. She does wear a couple of pieces of jewelry; a pair of earrings that are simple studs with rounded dark red gems set in them, and a necklace that consists of a fairly short silver chain with a red gem matching the ones from her earrings on it. She always carries with her her lightsaber and always feels extremely uncomfortable and nervous when she does not have it close at hand; the hilt is fairly simple and small to fit her hands, and has a purple blade.

(here is a drawing of her lightsaber I did not long ago)

As far as poses go...she's a very active, agile, speedy, and sneaky person who loves to duel and doesn't exactly avoid fights. She's also rather reckless and all of these things combined mean she's pretty good at getting herself into a bit of trouble. She's still pretty awkward now, her fighting and movements not yet being as polished as they are when she's an adult, but she's still fairly graceful.

And I've written another novel of a request. Awesome. Anyway, so there's Rianna, my insane Dark Jedi/Padawan who's in way over her head, and I would love to see what someone could come up with for her. Thanks for taking a look and if you have any questions, just ask, as the amount of detail I've come up with for this character is a bit insane :P

I just thought I'd let you know that your "this" and "this" link, point to the same as your "This photoshoot" link does. May want to check out why. May be that the site doesn't have each picture on a page.

heh.. my bad, I just didn't scroll down :) ... it looks like an entrance to a site, if you don't scroll down :)

Wow, this request is itching me in all the right places.... I loved that actress ever since Lemony Snicket... She's even got a new movie out (though I hear its not that great). Plus it reminds me of a character I used to play. I might take this if you don't mind Rylis? If you would like me to do it, please dont remove the jpgs from your photobucket, im not on a computer to save them. I might make the saber hilt a little stretched out as well, its a bit small as most are long enough for two hands to be placed on the hilt.

Rylis

I'd love to see what you could do with her! And don't worry, the images won't be leaving my photobucket :)

(I'm also not very good at anything mechanical/technical so if the saber needs to be adjusted a bit to work, go for it. Just that's the basic design of it :P)

Drig

Cool! Consider it claimed!

Some ideas I have is maybe making her seem a little bit devious, well, for a jedi padawan that is... a little Zayne Carrik like if you will...

Also, is the hair in the reference what you had in mind?

Asok

I loved her in Lemony Snicket too... she's got the right kind of cuteness. Adorability? Can I make nouns of these words?

For the hair, I'd say a sort of mix between the reference and this. Just sort of short, loose wavy curls that get all unruly and stuff.

And a bit devious is good! Rianna isn't exactly the most well-behaved Padawan, after all. She's sneaky and impatient and does typical teenage bratty things, so yeah :P Not exactly malicious devious, though (that's not until she's older), just more looking for holes in things to try and get out of trouble, which generally is along the lines of her thinking "Okay, now how do I explain this one to avoid getting a lecture when my Master finds out?" :P

I like Emily Browning, she does have a very sort of innocent/cute look to her but she's also got a bit of an exotic look. I usually never have any sort of actor/model/whatever for my characters, simply because I end up with such a well-defined idea in my mind as to how they look and never manage to find a real person that fits it, but I came across a picture of her on livejournal and went "Wow, it's Rianna!".
