Thanks Halnarthax! I had a lot of fun formulating these characters and imagining the characters of the story with action figures!

Nalla, Cassandra, Shye, Ldy Malice.... just WOW, they are slick!!! love them all :)

hey man, what you're doing, so many stunning chicks at once - all worth to be featured as poster like Pasha, but can't paint them all, beisdes there a Mandos and Troopers waiting and I guess a Smuggler, too.... man, the Yards creativity is killing me - system overload.

::pushes Art's reboot button:: Whoops look like you crashed. Why not save any and all images of mine you like (can't speak for others) in a folder and get to them when you do. Don't worry I can wait as long as you need. I'm not going anywhere and certainly not leaving the yards (sorry lol) so heck if it's next year, that's fine with me :)

Glad the images have inspired you so much Art! Yeah I didn't even realize how female-heavy this story was, but that's cool! Besides there will always be more guys coming along in other roles too. We don't even meet Lando until halfway through the second film so hopefully we'll see a balance to the male characters. I'm thinking of a rogue Jedi with a heart of gold--none of that sanctimonious preachy priestlike stuff. think Cade Skywalker :)

P.S. THanks so much for the front page treatment Tamer! I wish now that RT-RO were painted but I think I'd need an eyelash brush to do it in such detail lol.

thanks, AFE, system's going back to normal :D
yeah, I should have done this right from the start, I mean collecting all the images of figures I like to look them up when their time has come to be turned into an artwork... thats a really good idea, no clue why I haven't done it so far  :-\

@Art well you can't have all the good ideas haha. Glad my suggestion helped. I think it's never a bad idea to have a collection of images to work from. Sometimes as an artist the inspiration doesn't want to come, so looking through them might help ease a slump.

@ LCSB: Thanks so much! I'm pretty overwhelmed when i do these photos honestly. So many ideas, so little time!

Ok so I have tons of shots of the individual members of The Alien Legion. Let me know if you want to see them and I can do an update a day or so. There are a lot! I'll start with some group shots of them.

Never one to shy away from cruelty, Emperor Palpatine devised a unit of loyal soldiers to carry out his wrath. Because the Empire was obsessed with special purity and Humanocentric beliefs they distrusted, despised, and ultimately exterminated and enslaved entire races. Who better than to carry out the extermination of aliens than a legion of their own kind. Brainwashed slaves and genetically engineered alien experiments programed to hunt and kill members of their own species and other alien beings. Formulated from a concept a high ranking Imperial posed as a joke during a senate meeting, "If only we could get these filthy non-humans to kill themselves off, it'd save us time and men." Alien Legion does just that. Lead by the Chiss officer Harss'sandoo'narka'thymashko--Commander Narka leads his troopers in their twisted ironical duties.

I was thinking, hah? Don't the imps hate aliens? But that description, wow... that's pretty twisted and believable. Really, really cool idea and execution.  ;D
The exploits of my life are less canonical than they are legendary.
