Val So, Kel Dor 'Ronin' Jedi - Legacy Era [Asok]

This is my first Star Wars Saga character (and my first Star Wars character in general), so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone was interested in hooking me up with a portrait. The Kel Dor are pretty iconic, if only for Plo Koon. This leads to my issue--off all the art I can find of the Kel Dor, they're more or less 'Plo Koon' or highly specialized to -not- be Jedi. (There's a really cool droid tinkerer on this site, actually!)

And here I am, trying to find a portrait for a Jedi Kel Dor! He lives in the Legacy era, long after the crumbling of the Jedi Council, and when his master died with him still in training, he was left to follow his own path. He's very meditative, very slow to act, and only draws his lightsaber as a last resort, and even then, he's prone to forget about it. Despite this, he's more or less specced to be a martial character, if only because he has no one to train him in the ways of the Force.

In my head, he's something more of an 'orange' color, rather a brown or red. While he wears the typical Jedi robes, they're long since modified and tattered with age and lack of a uniform of style--that is, he has no one to tell him how he's supposed to wear them, so he's taken liberties. This is a boon in more Sith controlled space, as he's not obviously a lone Jedi.

So, if you accept this, you have tons of artistic license here! Really, I'm just focused on a 'Kel Dor Jedi' that isn't Pol Koon. He's young, although with how drastically different their bodies are than ours, I doubt that makes a difference. Personally, I'd like his chambers on whatever ship we end up on to approximate his atmosphere, so if you're feeling particularly interested, he could even lack the goggles and faceplate so iconic of the species--in such a case, he has silver eyes rather than black.

Anyway, thanks for the consideration!

Just wanted to say, I love the Kel Dor, so the more pics made of them the better! Great request, can't wait to see what Asok does with it.

I'll take that as a personal compliment, Thespius. To be honest, I've only got a tenuous grasp on the Expanded Universe. Most of my experience outside of the movies comes from video games and the errant comic book, and--to be horribly honest--I wasn't terribly sure who Plo Koon was or what a Kel Dor was, outside of how they looked. I ran across the race in the Saga Edition of the RPG, and sorta ran with it.

Easily, though, I think they're my favorite race I've encountered so far. I'm looking forward for the game he's to be a part of. I can't wait to see what Asok has in mind, either. He's so terribly skilled and has such a unique style that it's going to blow me away. I'll have to play this character in as many games as possible, hahah.

Asok

I am terribly skilled! I have terrible skills! lol

This picture is going to be a lot of fun, I can't wait either.
