  3. Greeting's All, This is a little something I started working on a while ago, but due to other things going on I never got around to continuing it so I thought I would post it here and if there is enough interest I may pick it back up and continue it till its conclusion. and yes, I am a complete writing novice So I give you SWTOR-Sadowlands dramatis personae Osarom - Freighter Captain - Human Val'Jikt - Attache of Nuva the hutt - Twi'Lek Darth Kortass - Sith Master- Human Esvakas - Sith Apprentice - Sith Pure blood Satele Shan - Jedi Grand Master - Human Aryn Leneer - Ex Jedi - Human --Star Wars-- --The Old Republic-- --Shadow Lands -- CHATER 1 "Incursion" The rain rolled across the grasslands of Corellia, in the distance the shimmering city of Coronet gleamed in the mid day sun and rain, the tall buildings almost winking at distant travelers begging them to come and see all it had to offer from the way the light reflected of the transparasteel windows. The shuttle rattled along as it approached Corellia's jewel, the engines whined and sputtered as the turbines started to spool down and its looming bulk started to fall some what gracefully given it's large bulky size. Taxi Speeders zipped and rolled passed the shuttle leaving it for dust and Osarom just grinned, knowing that in a pinch the “Twin Sun Sunder” could outrun most things in the sector, but he kept his cool and let the shuttle slow down a little more before extending he landing gear and bringing the ship down gently to the landing pad. The Sunder was an old ship now, it had been his fathers and his fathers before who bought it from a strange little jawa who had already had it for fifty years himself. The rendilli carrion slumped down on it's landing gear with a hard thump, the inertia couplers that would dull the feeling had long since given up and for some reason Osarom liked it. He started the shutdown sequence and most of the control panels in the **** pit slowly dimmed and finally died as Osarom set the ship into a powered down state and he opened the the doors and lowered the ramp before taking the short walk through the ship and out the door. His eyes closed and he took a deep lung full of the fresh air, the first breath of fresh air he had, had in two week's. He opened his eyes gingerly, squinting a little as he slowly let his eye's adjust to the brilliance of the day, and took in the majesty of the city as it rose high above him, and as if on instinct he started the walk towards the customs droid, but as he spoke a loud high pitched whine filled the air followed closely by the shriek of blaster fire. Before he could turn all the way round towards the sound the ground was rocked by a massive explosion, and Osarom was thrown to the ground as his ship came apart at every seal and joint, forced and shredded apart by the violence of the explosion, as the world started to dim in his vision, he could of sworn he could hear cries and screams of people wounded or lamenting the death of another, all he knew was the feeling of something warm and sticky dripping down his cheek, then everything went black. Osarom sighed and took a deep breath before opening his eyes to a voice over the com “Hey wake up!, You day dreaming about that ship of yours again ?”, Osarom cracked his lips with a look of disdain before saying with a growl “I loved that ship”, the voice over the com crackled in “Forget it, that was years ago, just let it go, you know your never going to get it back so why torture yourself”. Osarom sighed again and started the launch sequence on his snub nose fighter “consider it forgotten, at least until the mission is over”. Osarm still could not believe he had once been a respected freighter captain, now he was stuck in a small cramped cockpit fighting for the Republic Forces, but not for much longer if the upper echelons were correct about the mission. “So ready to take the fight to the empire on their home turf ?”, Osarom grinned “Sure am, lets just hope this jedi can do what they say they can and defeat this emperor” He reached out and hit a few commands into his control system and let his other hand hover over the throttle controls. His small R.S.F (Republic Strike Fighter) hummed with anticipation, the engine ticking over sending small vibrations through the super structure, edging it's pilot to throw it into full throttle so it could explode out of the capitol ship into the open expanse of space, to where it could dance amongst the stars. “Jade three, five, nine and two ready ?” a voice asked, and quickly the answers cam back “Jade five standing by”, “Jade two standing by” , “Jade Three Standing by” Then Osarom answered with and edge to his voice “Jade Nine standing by” and before a second had passed the order came, the order Osarom had been waiting eagerly for “Launch!” and with that Jade wing thundered out of the shuttle bay and out to the stars, ready and able to take on the might and cream of the Imperial Navy above .... Drommund Kaas. CHATER 2 "Revelation" His voiced raged in her mind, she could feel her emotions being torn apart, and even the blood lust for pain, anger and aggression to which she had became so accustomed to paled in comparison to what she felt in this moment. "If you fail me again, I will not be so lenient the next time. Now complete your mission or be a smouldering corpse adorning the bulkhead of my cruiser!". As the last few words pierced her mind, a deep primal scream escaped her dry, cracked lips. A long drawn out screech that would startle and strike fear into the most hardened and resilient of creatures. Eventually as the words faded to a whisper and then died in the darkness of oblivion, so did the screaming. At that moment she started to turn the pain into the fuel that she would need, the pain fuelled her anger, and the anger fed her hatred. She opened her eyes to see the silhouette of the dark temple rising high above the tree's, mounted against the background of a ferocious, thriving, explosive lightning storm that filled the night sky all over Dromund Kaas. As she stared into the distance she spoke, more to herself than any one thing words that would drive her determination to attain the success that she craved and lusted to have for so long. "The time is coming when all will bow to me, the time when they will all obey the will of Darth Esvakas!". The rough stone of the central arch that had crumbled centuries before felt cool in the warmth of the night. The icy cool feeling penetrated Esvakas' fingertips. She drew her fingers over the warn edge if the largest piece of stone and felt something more than the cold of the lifeless rock, she felt something dark, she could feel the very nature of death. Something started to stir behind the young sith pure blood, grabbing her attention and in an instant she was spinning round, lightsaber drawn. The bright red glow of the blade enhancing the deep red hue of her own skin. The rustling sound grew louder then everything fell silent. Esvakas began to reach out with the force but before she could discover anything a creature vaulted from the thick brush behind her with an explosion of energy and in that moment Esvakas knew she had made a potentially fatal mistake. The creature was lunging for her neck, it's rows of razor sharp teeth dripping with venom, it's eye's burning with hunger. Esvakas tried to sidestep and create some space to manoeuvre but it was too late, the forest dwelling beast slammed into her side sending her and it's self crashing to the ground and sending her lightsaber skittering across the dirt and rocks. The creature was stunned for a moment but a moment was all Esvakas needed. She threw her hand up and thrusted it in the direction of the beast now shaken free of it's own confusion and now barelling down on her. She had to concentrate on the task, focusing all the kinetic force energy that she could, storing it in the palm of her hand as if it were a ion reactor. Then a split second later she let the energy explode and streak a path towards the creature before slamming into it with a force so hard the bones it it's legs ruptured, the beast sailed backwards before crashing through a meter of solid rock. Esvakas walked up to the creature slowly, bending down to retrieve the hilt of her lightsaber as she drew closer. She could feel the pain and fear radiating from the wounded animal. She stood and watched it writhe in pain and a sick twisted smile broke her dark demeanor, her tendrils trembling as she began to laugh at the pitiful squealing from the injured beast. Esvakas cast her gaze towards the dark temple once more and turned on her heels, but as soon as she took her first step the creature wailed again. Esvakas grinned her twisted little smile and turned noticing a large flat boulder and then the thought struck her. She would make this mindless excuse for life pay for even contemplating making her it's next meal. She once again reached out with the force and started to lift the hulk of stone into the air. "You pathetic creature!" She spat and with a simple motion of her fingers she drove the boulder into the creatures skull. She heard its skull, teeth and neck snap in a microsecond before hearing the sound of its brain being turned to mush with a sickening squelch. Then she turned with a harrowing grin, placed the saber hilt on her belt and started to stride towards the dark temple. The breeze blew gently through the tops of the trees on Dantooine's southern most continent. Vast fields of elvana grain swayed back and forth and from a distance the fields of grain seemed to be alive and waving gently at the occasional speeder that sailed far over head. Aryn Leneer had come to Dantooine some years before in search of an old friend and had chosen to stay, settle for a more peaceful and serene life or to escape the life she left behind, the life of a Jedi knight. Aryn tended to her beloved Guilama, a task that always helped her to focus her thoughts but now she couldn't shake the feeling she had been having the last few days. Eventually she was able to dismiss it and fall into the duty of feeding and grooming her pet letting the world around her just fall away. "Hello Aryn" the voice was soft but authroitiv and Aryn froze knowing instantly who it was, she placed the brush she had been using to groom her guilama down and slowly turned around. "So it is you, I'm surprised they let you out. What are you doing so far from Tython Master Shan ?". Satele Shan wasn't a tall woman in any sense but with the sun setting high behind her, forcing her face to be lost in shadow she seemed to be taller than a native of Kamino and just as grand. Satele shifted her weight and folded her hands behind her back, and for a few moment's the only sounds were that of the breeze and the guilama that had got impatient with waiting to be fed and decided to discover its own food. Then in a neutral tone Satele said "I need your help Aryn". Aryn raised an eyebrow with both curiosity and suspicion and eventually nodded and motioned towards the open door of her home.
  4. Greeting's all, and yes as the title says, in fact says it all I am a digital painting noob, I usually doodle with actual pencils and paper but after seeing some of the fantastic work here I thought I would get a trial version of a digital painting program and give it ago doing some freehand work using nothing but the mouse and to start with I thought I would draw my Twi'lek smuggler Tisa. So here is the start Got most of the outlining done, and starting to add shadow and some light shading. Will probably do eye's, nose, lips afterwards *shrug* ..... this is all just guess work for me lol Captain Tisa note: did a url cause I didn't want to mess around with resizing
  5. cant say I have had this happen on my slinger since i made it a few weeks ago. The only ability i have seen that will insta fire without a channel is charged burst once you have speccd into it ... hrrmmmm very curious
  6. **moved from the Customer Service Thread to here* After todays update I noticed a few odd things, Firstly during the Trooper mission "Operation Talon" after you destroy the terminals and have a holo-call with Sergeant Yuun he appears naked during the entire conversation. Yuun Bug Secondly the new CD-33 Blaster Riffle from the new cartel packs has a graphical issue, this could be intentional but I doubt it, all effects seem to appear 1 meter ahead of the muzzle and about half a meter up. This happens with all effects such as Mortar Volley, Pulse Cannon, Full Auto etc etc. CD-33 (1) CD-33 (2) CD-33 (3) A fix would be nice when possible, and has anyone else encountered this, especially with the new CD-33?
  7. "Do or do not, there is no try" - in other words now its anounced don't cancel this one ... *sigh*
  8. Can one of the devs edit out the codes from the thread please as they obviously no longer work ... thanks

  10. LoL, brilliant stuff and well done, was this done with the chibi maker on DeviantArt ?
