The Quick and the Dead - a Bothan Knife Fighter [Tusserk]

In the dark alleyways of Correllia you'll find a bar by the name of Jocop's Gambit. This isn't your average bar, you don't come here for the drinks or the socializing. You come here for the fights. Brutal one on one battles in an electrified iron cage where almost anything goes (no blasters, lightsabers or vibro weapons)... Bets are placed, the combatants released, doors are locked.

The favorite of the crowd is Ferlek, a dark brown haired Bothan missing his left eye. His dark, forboding glare is often used to intimidate his opponents before a match as his ruthlessness is legendary. He goes into the fight wearing only loose fit white Teras Kasi pants depicting a blue krayt dragon up the left side and a belt with 4 knives on it. Long, cruel looking knives, the kind you'd expect in a ceremonial display, not in use. Use them he does, he blurs his Teras Kasi training with his skill in blades to cut short the competition.

He wears an eyepatch over the left eye socket, a scar peeking out on both sides of the eyepatch where someone else's lucky shot left him at a disadvantage.

His win record is 78-1. He spent a week in a bacta tank after taking that axe to the eye.

So, you want a picture of the Bothan, or a picture of the club, or both?.. :) .. just thought I'd ask.

Tan-Par

Heh, i talk way too much. I mostly wanted a picture of the bothan... but the cage in the background would be cool too.

He could be fighting someone, he could be posing, he could just be standing there.

Hello,

I still have one request to finish up in the next few days, but would like to pick this one up if you'll allow me. It should be done by the first week of December (about 10 to 12 days hence).

I've done an initial portrait sketch of the character (not the full figure though), I'll post it up in in my slog (Swag Blog) so you can see where I'm heading with it.

- Just another ghost in the holocron.

It's like my original long name, but shorter; or, like Fate, I am fickle. Fickle, tickle, pickel, nickel.

Tan-Par

Sorry, i was MIA for a bit... real life took over. I'm back and I am very much looking forward to this :)

Thanks a million!

Gith

Great to hear from you, Tan-Par. I'll pick this up again in about a week's time. (My turn to be kidnapped by real life.)

This request is now officially claimed, I'd think.

Quick update: I'll need to head out of town for a few days, which means I shall be wacom-less and won't be able to work on this until about a week from now. My apologies for the delay.

Hey Gith,

Just wanted to follow up on this as it's been a while since I've heard from you.

Due to Absense of Artist, this one is being moved back to request.. ((Note: this does not stop the artist who took it from taking it again, if they return and want to complete the request.))

This description speaks to me!!

Even though it's a bazillion years old (well, two), I want to do this, whether or not the requester is still around to ever see it. :D
