Relaxing Stormtrooper Squad - A Challenging Request [Pheonix023]
I won't lie, this request probably requires quite some time put into to it to produce a quality result. I don't expect someone to get this done overnight, or even in a week, but if you are attempting, let me know and request any additional details that you desire, I can give you extensive character biographies upon request. Any medium is accepted, non-color pencil sketches included, although I do prefer color of some form. Thanks in advance for looking at this request!
My RPG group is nine stormtroopers in the Thrawn Era with an assortment of personalities, what I hope to have is a capture of them relaxing together in some way, playing sabacc, enjoying a few drinks while off duty in a bar, or whatever the artist deems is best. I would love to have them in armor from the torso down, but uniforms or civilian clothing is perfectly fine. Any artistic license on the character appearance is encouraged as long as they are not changed too much from the descriptions
This band of misfits is called Eclipse Squad, and has the following members:
> The Squad Leader is an extremely short human male at 4 feet and 8 inches in height, with light brown hair that is kept fairly long, frequently covering his blue-green eyes. (something like this) This man often strokes his trimmed goatee in thought. He is also a Dark Jedi in hiding, and the squad is the only group he truly trusts, even if he does not reveal his actual identity to them.
> The first trooper is an a somewhat sadistic male human of athletic build, at about 6'2" His flesh is lightly tanned, has black hair, and dark purple eyes. He tends to keep to himself.
> Second trooper is a male human sniper, whose father was reported KIA while serving the empire, although no body was found. This trooper stands at 6'2" as well and has a scar over his right eye, has black hair streaked with some orange and his green eyes constantly scan for some sign of his father.
> Trooper number three is a male Sullustan about four feet nine inches in height. He looks like almost any normal Sullustan except that his face has a silver tint to it. He is frequently picked on by other troopers of the squad, but maintains his ever optimistic outlook.
> An male Echani, this trooper prefers melee combat and deals with blasters with some disgust. He has the features common of Echani, silver eyes, white hair, graceful build, etc. He tends to have some sort of data pad around to brush up on his knowledge.
> The squad's comm tech, this male trooper stands 5'11" tall, sports his light brown hair short, and his grey eyes tend to zoom on any possible threat, a habit from his days as a gangster on Nar Shaddaa..
> A female red skinned Twi'lek with numerous dark tattoos adorning her face and 5'5" body. She manages any vehicles the squad deals with, and harbors a secretive love for her Squad Leader. She had been injured in a past mission, and has a mild dislike for the Sullustan on the squad since she believes he caused it.
> A female human, this trooper is often showing her feelings for the squad sniper with a little grab of his rear or a quick stolen kiss. This woman is about seven feet tall with brown hair is longer than most women in the Stormtrooper corps, stopping about midway between her shoulders and middle back.. She has a slightly obsessive attention to detail and keeps her armor immaculate except when in the heat of battle
> The last member is a black scaled Barabel towering over the rest of the squad at seven and a half feet. He has a very close bond to his Squad Leader, considering him a "Blood Brother" a very respectful title considering his dislike of most humans as 'weak'
Again, much thanks for your time, and even more for considering this request.

I think the limit for SWAG requests was three objects in the scene. Whether that's three characters, two characters and a vehicle, three vehicles, etc...

I know that was an old rule. I don't know if that is still in effect. Personally I would say it is up to the artist.

Ah, well if that is still in effect, then I apologize and will remove this.

I'm new here, so I'm still learning the process for everything.....
I might try my hand at this one.....It'll probably take a while though, because I'm working on another request at the moment. I have a thing for drawing storimies, clones, and mandos, so I love to take a try at it.
I can pencil, ink, and color.
and just curious, what should I do when I finish? Like I said, newbie, so I'd love it if someone would tell me the process...

Well Pheonix023, for starters, you pretty much need to JOIN the guild as a guild member artist. Go to navigation, and click guild applications, for the process to try out for inclusion in this select brotherhood.
Good luck.

Ah, good, I did that right before I posted......when will I find out if got accepted or not?

It will go through a selective process where a council will review your work and see if you make the cut. After that, you should get a notification that indicates if you have been accepted.
Good luck!
