I've been thinking about creating a few paintings of my characters, and then last week during the Microcast, Rico suggested a thread where artists can post their representations of characters. So, here it is... Post renderings of characters here. :)
Here's my first painting of Sevryll. She's wearing the uniforms we described in Season Five and posted images of in the "uniforms" thread in the OOC section. :)
wow, that's great! What kind of paint are you using? Or is that graphic computer stuff?
NICE!
Thats amazing Jen, did you hand paint that?. A talented lady you are.
That is Awesome
Love it! Great job Jen! I am very curious, what medium you used? I think I see a Jen-Sevryll resemblance too. Again, excellent work. Love the uniform too.
Wow! That's very cool! I like the semi smile! It works perfectly with her new mindset.
Thank you everyone. Yes, I gave her a Mona Lisa smile... not quiet stoic, not quite emotional.
Rico, I sketched her by hand, (the drawing looks nothing like the finished product, as I made several changes after I scanned in the sketch) and then I brought her into Photoshop and began painting over the pencil marks. I used to use acrylics and stretched my own canvas when I painted. I have a closet full of that stuff that just sits there these days. I find myself not enjoying painting and drawing by hand as much... it really makes things faster and enjoyable (for me) to paint using Photoshop because you can build things on layers, which are easily hidden or removed and you have a wide range of brush tips and other tools at the touch of a key. The only thing I find difficult, is the fact that it's hard to be super detailed...I can't feel the paintbrush in my hand or the paint gliding onto the canvas as I move my hand, but there are many artists and illustrators who use photoshop to create wonderful works of fine art. So since I don't have room for a studio, my Mac will have to do. :)
I'm looking into purchasing a high-end tablet so will have more control over my brush strokes. The good ones are quite expensive, but many designers use them exclusively and are quiet happy with them.
Jen, she looks AWESOME...the final product is BEAUTIFUL... great job. Now when I read Sevryll post this is who I'll imagine.
Thanks Kenny :D
I see maybe an avatar change in Jen's profile future? ;)
Hey everybody...I initially checked out this site and podcast because I'm really intrigued by this RPG forum. I'd like nothing more than to jump head first into it. Realistically...I know that I just don't have the time to commit to it. I'd have to give up drawing time to sit and write...and I just can't do that. What I can do, however, is commit some of my drawing time to this RPG...and when I heard the shout out on the latest Ready Room for character images...I thought, "Hey! I can do that!!" So...if anyone's interested...I'd be happy to draw up some character images.
Just let me know!
I can make little signature images too for the duty roster...with your image on there. That would be cool. (sorry...I was just looking at Jen's sig...and thinking that I could do that)
Hey, I'm always interested in seeing my characters in mediums outside of my own head.
What I think would be awesome is if you read some of the RPG scenes and illustrated them for us. There are quite a few that would make great comic book illustrations.
This is unrealated to the RPG...but I drew this 3 pager recently for a class: (by the way...page 3 is TERRIBLE, I know...but I did this in like...12 hours and finished that page at like....4 in the morning...)

I know the technical jargon is all wrong...but that's ok.
Great stuff Geeky! You've got a lot of talent. Love to see more of your stuff. At this rate we might need an Art Section on the forum!
I just put this one together right quick. Not exactly the right font...but still not too bad.
(http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u182/EWhite_1978/Jen_ID_web.jpg)
Very pretty!
Good work geekywhiteguy. I'm just drawing my characters, though mine won't be as good as Jens.
Does anyone here use 3D rendering software? It would be great to see some images of our next... whatever we get for our missions... :D
I've been considering purchasing a software called Cheetah3D. Check it out:
http://www.cheetah3d.com/index.php
I have a copy of Poser7...but I don't have a clue how to use it.
Here is a quick sketch of Shyn, I went back and touched it up in CG Illustrator.
I tried to replace the sketch i did on saturday with the one I worked on Sunday, but now there are two sketches. Sorry.
That's really cool. Great job.
Well it took a lot of paper and patience, but I think my mojo is finally starting to come back, after all these months. This is the Yuki AI's Avatar. It is not nearly as embarassing as my last sketch, and I kind of like it just pencil.
Yuki in her classic Junior High Sailor Uniform.
Manga style. Cool. I've so many books on how to draw manga its silly. And i still end up drawing them with only three fingers for some reason. Why? i have no idea.
I put my sketch in CG Illustrator, and played around with it. It is my first time using it, it was fun and a good learning experience.
Nice stuff. Keep it up.
Wow, one Hot Vulcan! Great job. And the uniform is really interesting, too. I actually attended art school for two years. I may have to come up with a portrait if i get time.
Thank you Rico, and Ricardocameron. And go for it Ricardo, I have had this software sitting around for some time but just never got around to trying it. The microcast, and Jens pic got me inspired to try it out. I am greatful for the inspiration and having fun. :biggrin
CG Illustrator? Did you buy that or was it downloadable? Great colouring, i think your manga style is very good. You should do more.
I ordered in on the net, it was recommended by a manga artist in NewType magazine as good introductory illustration software. It is inexpensive and has all the basics. Made by Deleter.
WOW, Jen!!! You really have talent; this is outstanding!

Here is the character illustration (ver 1.2.1) of Aeric James.
(http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u182/EWhite_1978/flats_web.jpg)
Since drawing this...the new ship's thread has been put up showing the uniforms in more detail...so I'll be revamping this drawing and recoloring it.
Let me know what you think and also if you'd like me to create a character drawing for your character.
Thanks!
eric
Oh, yes please!
Alright...here it is. The final version of Aeric James aboard the bridge of the USS ARABELLA.
Enjoy!
(http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u182/EWhite_1978/Aeric-James_web.jpg)
I'm speechless. Luckily I'm not textless. What an amazing job and fantastic background work!
Excellent job! I'm so excited the RPG is getting folks drawing. I really need to clean off my art table and take a crack at my characters.
Very cool
Nice job. :)
Great! I'm glad everyone likes it. JustX. let me know if you want the high res file...and I'll email it to you.
Next up for a portrait...Lieutenant Commander K'arath.
That is an incredible picture of Just X's character. Very good job!
King
Hawkeye sent me this picture as a reference for his character, Joe. Meds could probably explain who the actor is better than I. But I think he said the reference image is an actor who portrayed Sherlock Holmes who happens to be the character Joe is based on. Joe's crazy colored eye was cut out in a recent post, so I'm not sure that the eye color in my painting is correct now...but I can change it later if you want Meds. I'll send you the file via email so you can upload it to your character profile.
Next up Captain Quinn. If you want me to paint a pic of your character, send me your reference picture (preferably a good quality head shot) and subscribe to the Anomaly podcast via our web site (my only request in return for the drawing)... yes... I'm bribing potential listeners. :)
Very nice job!
Very Nice
Very slick Jen!
Wow!
Nice job Jen.. can't wait to see Quinn :)
OH WOW THAT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is amazing thanks so much Jen. The eye if fab i don't want to change a thing. If anyone is interested the actor there is Jeremy Brett. The photo is from 1966 and he is aged around 33 the same age as Joe. Jeremy portrayed Sherlock Holmes in the late 80's early 90'2 and has since sadly died. Brett was a fab actor and some might recognize him from My fair lady but also in Battlestar Galactica where he played Lieutenant Nash. He most remembered for his role as Holmes and in my opinion the best Holmes there has ever been. Thanks again Jen that painting is amazing.
Glad you like it. I'll send you the file tonight. :)
Wow, Jen. Beautiful Painting. Great job!!
Here's the painting I did for Kenny of Captain Quinn. He provided me with a photo as a reference.
Very NICE! He looks like a young one.
Wow Jen.. he looks amazing.. just as I imagined. Thanks for doing this.

Well he is young in a since... he's half El Aurian and half Betzoid and he is in his mid 70's which is a young adult when you live for hundreds of years.
That is superb Jen. These paintings are amazing. It's great to be able to see the characters we are writing about.
Very cool
Very nice Jen! Great job!

You imagined what Sevryll looked like? I didn't even know until I started painting. I guess my descriptions of her in my writing was good enough for you to imagine her?
I'm probably going to redo Sevryll and Joe.. I don't like them anymore. That's common though... that happens to me a lot. I'm not happy with the uniform I painted on Quinn. Just not a good reference pic of our new uniforms. The only thing I have to go by are the STO images. Maybe I should start painting them in civilian garb...
I did imagine Quinn being older...
Quote from: Bryancd on April 11, 2008, 10:34:58 AM
I did imagine Quinn being older...
Yeah, I did too. But like Kenny said he's half El-Aurian. Guinan was a fossil but she looked like she was in her thirties or forties. Quinn's 70.
I can't even keep it straight in my head what Aeric looks like. That El-Aurian blood is freaky and the shorter lived side of his genepool.
Very Very Cool.
I guess I should send you a Bolian subject....
You know what would be cool? Do a main character group shot, but as though one of Sevryll's kids drew it. Crayon style.

Yea, I could imagine her. As I read stories I tend to "create" what people, places, and such would look like. A lot of it is influenced by how people write. I doubt I'm unique in this matter. This tends to have problems when I go to movies obviously. However, this tends to be an advantage when going from TV to book.
King
Jen you could always add your artistic eye to the uniform look. It's not like they don't have several uniforms to choose from.

Yeah, I've thought about doing others in the Nemesis era uniforms or in civies. I want to do one of Sevryll in her robes watching her children run over the dunes outside her home... I'll get to it eventually I guess.
Playing around in Photoshop for the last couple of hours. Here's a portrait of Zremm's girlfriend, Ensign Marie Barton.
Nice job Rico.. too bad she's no longer a member of the crew.

Hummm... Do I detect a possible love triangle? LOL
Nice pic Rico. Very Glam. Which ps filter did you use for the image? I recognize it but don't use it very often. Is it the watercolor one?
I think I used Paint Dabs or Paint Dubs. Something like that. Can't recall the exact name. I'm at work now and don't have Photoshop here. I'm a BIG novice with Photoshop, but I am forcing myself to use it more lately. I tend to use Paint Shop Pro a lot because it's quick and simple. But Photoshop just has so much cool stuff you can do with it.
By the way two cheap Photoshop replacements are Gimp and Pixel. I haven't used either very much yet, but Google them to learn more.

Hummm... Do I detect a possible love triangle? LOL
I think K'arath could take Zremm... ;)
Yeah go for the antenna!
Though I really wanted to start right away, I've been so busy with life, work, the RPG and podcasts I haven't had a chance to do anymore paintings. Thankfully, there was a lull at work this week which allowed me to work on Zremm on my lunch breaks... hopefully I'll have time to finish the portrait in the next few days. Rico, I found another picture of the same ST The Experience actor, posing in a slightly more flattering position. The highlights and contrasts on his skin are more dramatic. I think you'll like this pose better.
Sounds great Jen. And no rush. I know how busy things can be sometimes.
I'm still plugging away at it Rico. I'm finding it difficult to make a blue Skinned Andorian realistic... GO FIGURE. :D
I'm giving this painting a lot of attention, trying to get it right. I'll have it up soon...
Again - take your time. I know those pesky aliens can be tricky! ;)
OK, finally finished Zremm. Wow...he was tough. I decided to use several reference pics to get him right. I did have a pic that Rico sent and I used that as a basis, but because he was a ST The Experience Andorian, I thought I should make him look a little more authentic. I altered his hair, forehead and skin color to be more like the Andorians we see on Enterprise. I'll post two pics so you can see the the reference pics and the work in progress. Hope you like it Rico.
I'll be doing the rest of the portraits in the order I received the requests. Margon was next, but I need a break from blue aliens... So since Eric sent me his request after Rico, I'll paint K'Tan's portrait next.
J
Just Wow!
Thanks "Just" X. ;) :D
OMG :jawdrop they get better and better as you do these.. this one is AWESOME... kind of looks like Garek from DS9 if he was an Andorian :)
Thanks... Yeah, I sort of rushed Sevryll's portrait. I'll probably revisit she and D'Callan. Maybe in two separate scenes or something later on.
Thanks for the complement. Garek huh? That's interesting. :)
:jawdrop Oh my, that is just brilliant Jen, every picture you do looks amazing but this one is just brilliant. Well done.
That's wonderful Jen. Superb job on Zremm! I think you got the coloring just right and I love his facial expression
Now, don't they make a cute couple....
Wow...amazing Jen.

Thanks everyone. I enjoy painting them... As a creative professional, I get a little tired sometimes of doing everything for the company/client... it's nice to do something fun for myself and my friends for a change.
absolutely awesome! VERY NICE!
I am very impressed
Girlfriend, you rock!
Those are beautiful pictures! :)
Neat! Wild background.
Thundercats! Fun portrait.
Cool, very cool.
I haven't forgotten your portrait for K'Tan, Eric. I've just been busy. But I'm working on it again. He's going to be tough. Lot's of hair! :)
No problem Jen, take your time. :)
Here's my portrait of K'Tan. I don't know much about Star Gate, but Eric wanted K'Tan's appearance based on one of the characters from that show. I tried to give him a little of his own character while following your descriptions of him in his Character Profile Eric. Hope you like it. Here's an Avatar to go with the portrait. You guys should put these in your character profiles. Just edit your Character Description sheet and add attach it there. ;) Sorry it took so long. Margon is next... Again, I'm doing these in the order I got the requests in. And the only payment I wanted was for folks to subscribe to the Anomaly Podcast. ;)
Wow Jen. This is your best one yet! You are truly talented.

Wow Jen. This is your best one yet! You are truly talented.
Thank you. It helps to have very good resource pics. I'm probably going to redo Sevryll's. I had to basically make her up... and she doesn't look as real because of that.
:jawdrop Gasp!
That's truly wonderful Jen! Quit that job and become a portrait artist full time! Love what you are doing with all of these!
- Oh, if you are looking to do Sevryll again sometime the Chonastock Vulcan woman might be an inspiration. You have similar features....
Nice Jen! How do you do it?! :Bow:
WOW......Just....WOW
Excellent Jen, truly excellent drawing.
I bow to your superior artistry.

I do? I can't see much of a resemblance other than the dark color of her wig and her oval face. But I'll take that as a complement. :D Thank you.
I just need to find a resource image that looks close to what I've already drawn, just to get her skin color and detail just so. I did have about 10 different photo references for Sevryll. She's a blending of all of them and it was difficult to get the realism right. I'll just have to narrow it down to one and stick to that. But, I think Ryla needs a portrait after Margon. I've been itching to paint her.
Thanks for the complements everyone. I really am enjoying these. I have tried to do this as an occupation... in fact I have a Bachelor Of Fine Arts degree with a specialty in painting. I just learned I make more money as a creative professional laying out ads and various other print and web materials. One thing I am thankful for, regarding my career change, is that I now use my Graphic Design skills to paint. Photoshop CS3 makes painting more enjoyable for me. There's no paint to clean off my brushes. ;)
;D ;D THANK YOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!!! ;D ;D
Very awesome; you are the best!!!! :Bow: :Bow: :Bow:
I am in total awe of your talent; the picture looks AMAZING!!!
Thank you Jen!!!
Another AWESOME Picture Jen... can't wait to see more.
Absolutely amazing Jen. IT IS GREAT!
OH MY GOD. K'TAN LOOKS EXACTLY HOW HE'S BEEN DESCRIBED. THATS IS AMAZING JEN. Wow Jen this is the best. Well done you.
Thank you. :)
Jen your work never fails to amaze me, You are truly a gifted and amazing artist.
I cant wait to see what you do with Dr. Peterson.
John
Miss Jen,
I bow to your superior talent. I really don't know how you do it all, but I'm very thankful you do.
:Bow:
I haven't found a Bolian reference image that I like yet for Margon... so in the meantime I've been working on a Ryla Drett pic for a few weeks. I think I've discovered that I'm much pickier when it comes to images of my own characters. Those who want paintings of their characters have provided the images and I go with it. I have an image of my characters in my mind as I write about them... so it's difficult to find the right model to paint from. I've put her off for so long because of this.
Anyway, Ryla's portrait is still a week or so out, but I wanted to post a pic of the resource image I'm using, so that you know what she looks like when you read about her this season. I saw this pic on a stock photography site as I was looking for models for a print piece that I was working on at work. As soon as I saw the photo I thought, "that's her!" Aside from the eye color, the lack of spots and the exact hair style, this is basically the vision I had of Ryla Drett in my mind's eye. Major differences: Ryla's eyes are a very light brown, she has bigger diimples and her hair is messier... but hey, it's very, very close. Stay tuned for Margon and Ryla paintings in the near future. :)
Do you have an order on who's next on the list of Pretty Perfect Phenomenal Persona Painting?
Yep. Those who sent their requests to me are having their portraits done in the order I received them.. Right now, I'm doing one of my own... as I've created about four paintings for other peeps and only one of my own characters. :)
Might take you up on that offer....soon as I have a character to write about. Err.....describe.
King
I like the picture you picked for Ryla, Jen. Can't wait to see her finished.
Here's my portrait of... guess who. ;)
Does he look familiar? :D I'll post my reference pic later. Rick, I created this file in high resolution so you can have a velvet painting of Margon to hang in your office. ;D I'll print it for you on my Epson Stylus 1280...not sure what it will look like printed. Sometimes these things look better on the monitor because of the light it produces.
I found some really awesome Photoshop CS3 brushes recently that helped me create nicer textures, like the fabric of his shirt. I think I'll go back and tweak a few of my older portraits then move on to Aeric James. Chris, let me know what you want him to look like. I need some good reference images.
Jen..... THAT IS FANTASTIC...
WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jen once again you have pulled off a cracker of a painting. Amazing, and the funny thing is this is how i saw Margon, cheeky monkey style twinkle in the eye i see.
BRILLIANT :)
WOW. Seriously, Jen you are truly and amazingly talented! Wow wow wow.
oh my goodness! JEN! THANK YOU It is amazing! I am blown away! Catherine and Amy agree.
You are so talented!
I am blessed!
Thanks :blush
Here are my reference pics :)
THAT'S CRAZY JEN!?!? You need to do this full time - really! People would pay for this kind of stuff. Awesome job! You are very multi-talented!
AMAZING.
You are a very talented artist Jen.
That looks amazing. You do wonderful art, and I just got out of art class less then an hour ago so I should know.
WOW. :jawdrop
Holy ****!!! Outstanding Job, Jen! :kewlpics
Wow that is really AMAZING! Great job! Now I need to find some photos...
That is great! (I guessed the form of the reference image before you posted it though :D)
Jen, you have mad skillz! :Bow:
That pic is all sorts of awesome, Jen! Stupendous work!
Well Done Jen!
Hey, as most of you noticed I took some of the great character portraits Jen has been doing and added them to your signatures. I thought it made them look very slick. A couple I didn't change (wraith and moyer's) because you guys have your sigs. hosted elsewhere. I can change yours too, if you want - just let me know. And if anyone wants their old version back, just tell me. I have them all saved.
The new portrait sigs look fantastic! I'd like one of the new ones.
me too!
Ok - all set for you guys too!
Thank you!!!!!
I want one! :'(
Thank you, Rico!
Those sigs look awesome with the portraits in them!
Jens paintings and signiture designs are just brilliant. Nice add on there Rico.
I had planned to do that after I had painted everone's portrait but it's cool of you to do that for me Rico. I'll make a portrait for everyone...eventually.
I have to send you a corrected Banner for Rick though..."Commander" is spelled wrong on his, and I never got around to correcting it. I'll try to do that soon.
yes, but margon has such nice manners! :)
I did a quick little tweak and fixed the spelling on Margon's sig.
Still working on Aeric James...Humans are hard. :D
Oh, I noticed that your portraits aren't in your character profiles. :) If you want, add them to the first post.
Here's my latest digital painting. Aeric James. Just X sent me a photo several months ago, and I've been plinking away at it since then. I learned some new techniques from a magazine I've been buying called ImagineFX. It has resources for cool textures for photoshop and tutorials on creating concept art for games and films. I enjoy looking at all the art but the articles are very informative. Anyway, here you go Chris...I thought I'd put him in Vulcan robes since he spent time on Vulcan as a 'teen'. Hopefully the web export didn't lessen the quality. I haven't seen it online yet. I think it may be brighter than I wanted it to be. I'll send you a higher res file as well.
Here's Aeric Jame's resource pic. I think he's a handsome guy but too pretty...so I made Aeric look a little wiser and more tough.
Again Jen.. FANTASTIC job.. we have a very nice looking crew.
Excellent job! A bit younger looking than I had Aeric pictured, but a beautiful painting.
Wow Jen! incredible!
Great job!
Who's is the picture of?
Very nice. You really have a lot of tallent.
But to take Kenny's comment to the extreme...perhaps we need a few more ugly crewembers? ;)

You haven't seen a close-up photo of me yet. My avatar is a couple of years old. A lot less hair making an appearance now... Might need to submit one to fill the 'ugly' quota! :laugh:
I think I'm going to do some things for my own characters now. I haven't painted anything for myself for a while. Then I'll paint some ugly characters... Like K'arath and Galdar. But the Chief Of Engineering is in line next after Ryla and a few scenes I wanted to do...Just so you know my one stipulation when I started doing these was that I would paint portraits for RPG members who also subscribed to Anomaly. Still stands. Dan and Mike are subscribers. But as far as I know, Bryan has only listened to a few shows. Hint-hint, nudge-nudge. ;)

I Really like this!
Chris, you need to update your banner image! I really like those with the embedded portraits.
...and Jen, I wouldn't expect you to even think of a Galdar image for a few seasons - lets see if he and I survive that long first.
Why is Aeric not in a Starfleet uniform? Is he on shoreleave. :)

Margon and K'Tan aren't in their uniforms either. I got tired of painting the high collar tunics....its hard to do and I didn't the result of the ones I did do. So they're in civilian clothes. ;)
I always wanted to ask...
Are those rank pips on Margon's shoulder? Probably not I'd he's in civvies.
Could be his "counsellor" outfit. I don't think Margon can pull of Troi's bunny suits. :)
Urgh! Bad mental image be gone!

No he's in civvies. They're buttons. :)
That was the assumption. It was only because there happened to be three visible and he happens to be a commander that I wasn't sure.
Understandable. But one would have to be a pip in a half, since he's a lt. commander. :)
D'Callan is not in Uniform either (if we're going by others uniforms). Jen your portraits are just so amazing.

Thanks Meds. :)
Actually, he is wearing a uniform...you just see the collar though. I still have the original authoring file. I cropped the exported image to just show his collar. I'll see if I reexport it on Monday and put it up so you can see the rest of his uniform. The captain and XO have red collars. Lt commanders and down, have black collars. I was going by the Star Trek Online costume designs. Our story takes place in the future (several years after Nemesis) so I used the concept drawings from the game for the uniform. I think we outlined that in a OOC post a few seasons back but I have no idea where that post is now. ;)
Ah you learn something every day :)
Do you mean this thread Jen?

Ah. Yes... thank you Joe.:)
If you guys have a portrait, put it in the first page of your character profile. :)

Yeah I did the same.. add my picture..looks very cool
