Topic: Mando & Trooper fan art

Here's an update.  I went with the red coloring...

Looks even better with the red captain's paint! :)

Is it possible you could give it the ARC Captain's pauldron and kama (if it fits)? Because then it would be Ordo.

dude, its really good! I wish I could draw like that.

yeah it is good! I may be a good artist but that is one decent clone sharpshooter! :)

Thanks guys! :)

Appo--I could put a pauldron on him, but his waist is the bottom of the page, so if I tried to draw in hints of a kama, not much of it would be seen...
A pauldron is a great idea.  I don't have one on a figure to go by, put I can look at pics, then go by what I can picture in my head.  The coloring is still very light, so it can still be erased very easily at this stage.

Okay, I'll probably answer my own question once I look up pics, but are the pauldrons traditionally on the left or right?  I'm thinking right...that's the way I picture it, but I could be mistaken.

The armor on his forearm was actually the hardest part to draw--getting the lines at the right angle.

Along the lines of my question up there...is there a list anywhere of what color goes with what rank?  It was mentioned the red was for Captain, and I know there are also yellow, green, and blue...that way I can name them appropriately if/when I draw more.

You can try Wookiepedia. Commanders are Yellow

Captians are Red

Lieutenants are blue

Commander=Yellow
Captain=Red
Lieutenant=Blue
Sergeant=Green

Hope that helps.

Nice

like on star wars battlefront 1 where the sharp-shooter is red, the the arc troopers are blue, the pilots are yellow, the clones are white.......Y'know!       :)

Thanks guys!  That does help :)

See, but now why is Cody orange? and Appo Blue? and so on... Maybe Commanders just choose whatever color they want :/

Nice drawing! It must have taken a lot of patience using a action figure as a reference!

I believe that by Ep.III color has become associated with your battalion/regiment/whatever rather than rank, You'll notice that all of the 501st troopers who attack the temple with Anakin are blue.

On Topic:
:D This stuff is really good! Hope too see more some time.

daenna what the hell u use to make those comic like drawings please explain in detail i love to draw and thats the style ive always wanted to do but couldnt fig out how

That's correct.  The colors used in Episode III are regimental, in nature.  You'll also notice all of Commander Bly's squadron are collored in yellow, when they're blasting Aayla Secura on Felucia.  A lot of them are also wearing Kama's, even though they're not commander's, or are trained by ARC's.  All the Coruscant Security troops  and Commadner Thire are decked out in red.

Well--action figures stay still very well LOL :D

Here's one I plan on sending to Insider (cross fingers) for Bantha Tracks...

I had the idea of a father/son theme for a Star Wars 30th pic, so I drew Slave I split with both Boba and Jango's color schemes.  I'm going to send this in another envelope because a stamp would cover it up too much.  The helmets are not exact, but it has an overall cartoon-ish look to it, so it works, I guess. 

Yeah, I would agree with the colors representing the regiments more instead of ranks thinking back to the movies.

Only the Phase I armor was color coded by rank. In ROTS, the Clones used Phase II armor.

Thanks Villimar :)

(Was the Phase I armor the type featured in the Clone Wars cartoons?)

Yes, I believe it was. And the pauldron is on the right arm. (I think)

Yeah--it is the right ;)  I ended up looking back at the movies and the clone cartoons lol  Thanks for reminding me---I need to get back to my clone drawing and add that :)

Nice work :).

Totally nice work, FettFan79! You rock! Keep up the good work! (Are you working on the pauldron yet?) :)

Thank you very much :D  I sent that envelope pic today.

I might get to it tomorrow--I had a LONG work day.

(I just looked at a Commander Appo figure at the store, and his pauldron is on the left...so I've seen it both ways...I'll just pick a side :P  But it most likely will be his right anyway since that shoulder is completely in the picture. )

Well, Appo is a lefty, so maybe it depends if you are a righty or lefty. But Appo doesn't have a pauldron....his picture is here: http://i106.photobucket.com/albums/m246/rotting_92/501st.jpg

But his figure does...

LOL--don't we just *love* consistency?  hehehe  oh well, I'll still add one to the drawing...

Well that's pretty strange. In the movie he didn't have a pauldron......oh well.....maybe he wears one every once in a while.....

I kinda like the pauldron...adds style to his armor.

Yeah, he looks pretty cool with it on......

If Appo is lefty, why is the picture you showed make him a righty?

I noticed that too--Appo is holding his rifle like a righty.  That's the way I hold a rifle, but my husband is also a righty and his hold is the opposite way...I guess it's just personal preference as to which way is comfortable?

I say that you are an amazing drawer and that I will never draw that good

http://www.tenzor.cz/solah/art/darthrevan.jpg Hey, does anyone like my drawing of Revan? Just kidding! It's not mine, I just found this cool pic on the Internet.

Pretty cool pic of Revan.

Thank you, Bullet ;)

WOW that is a cool pic of Revan!  Black/white watercolor or some type of graphite with red lightsaber and highlights added in Photoshop or a program like it.  That artist got into some good detail too.

wow those drawings are good

those drawings are great!

*newbie pokes her head into the thread* I've not done much yet, but here's what I've got so far.

Lady Mando

Obviously based off Tom Hodges' amazing work.

~*Ruusaan <><

Kandosii, Ruusaan! Btw, welcome to the boards! :D (Remember me from the clonecommandos.net forum? I'm darmans_Girl there. :) )

yep. ;) Su'cuy, ner vod.

~*Ruusaan <><

Elek, su'cuy, ner vod! Workin on a new pic as we speak, should be up in a day or two.

Can you download Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro anywhere? I'd really like to try my hand at something a little more realistic...

~*Ruusaan <><

nice work with the colored pencils.

Vor'e. It took forever to get the pattern right and the little white spaces filled in.

~*Ruusaan <><

Finally, got a new pic for you guys! This is dedicated to my friend, (RAGE)Spartan089 aka "A'den". He saw another piece of Mando fanart in the same pose as this one and asked me to draw him a character in the said pose. So, anyhoo, here's Cuyan Gekad (callsign "Saber"). :) Original pic was done by our very own Corran_Fett, who draws amazingly, and to DarthKuk. :)

nice, looks really good.

i like that tatterd kama in the back i always draw them like that.

Thanks guys! :) I love drawing tattered kamas and capes , because they give the overall person a battle-scared look.

Hmmm.....overall, I really like it, but I think the hands are a little strange looking.....no offense....
