Same Face, New Background (Cosplay & Fanfic Photoshop Experiments)

For the first two images, I just took waht I previously created for the last story and slapped them on new background. This is for Fane and Talyc, who are main characters from my Star Wars The Old Republic fan-fiction series. Fane is Jedi, human. Talyc is Mandalorian, human.

Changing backgrounds also means adjusting lightning and colour for their faces and bodies (armour is separate from the face when working in Photoshop). The background are relevant to the current story, being Tython this time, with actual screenshots I took from recordings where I’m walking around Tython in SWTOR.

For this one however, it was a new screenshot of Fane. For Fane and Talyc I use Inquisitors from Dragon Age: Inquisition that I created specifically for these characters, to have a visual. This kneeling pose was perfect for the knees where Fane kneels before the Jedi Council.

Although, I had trouble with his right arm (on the left side of the image when looking at it). It’s the lighting and shadows. For some reason, when changing the colour and altering the shape of the arm, the variants of light got a bit lost, so I had to improvise some adjustment. I just could not get it to my liking, to eventually I settled. If anyone has some tips, it’ll be handy for future images where this might occur.

His face had some strange colours and I had to play with multiple tools in stages to get the lighting as I wanted it. The background presents two sources of light on each side, I when doing the reflective “aura” thing (as I like to call it), I created for the two colours on each side.

As always, I’m open to feedback.

Jassahmi Spies on Fane & Talyc (Cosplay & Fanfic Photoshop Experiments)

Jassahmi is a new character from my Star Wars The Old Republic fan-fiction series. As of yet her affiliation are unknown (to readers). In this scene, she has been spying on Fane and Talyc’s intimate moment. She is Mirialan.

I used a background from SWTOR, and even adjusting the light and colour, I had to additionally adjust certain areas of the sky that were too bright.

Jassahmi herself was created using an already existing SWTOR character that I went and altered just for a few screenshtos, using a viewer in SWTOR. But I didn’t actually alter the character (that costs Cartel Coins, which I don’t have many of).

The tricky bit here was getting her behind the grass. I had to select the strands and erase the parts of Jassahmi that were “on the grass” to give the “behind” effect.

The goal was for her to be in foliage and in the story she slinks back down. I feel I did not achieve that visual perspective, but maybe that’s just me. You’ll have to let me know.

Fane & Talyc are Intimate (Cosplay & Fanfic Photoshop Experiments)

Fane and Talyc are main characters from my Star Wars The Old Republic fan-fiction series. They have to be one of my favourite couple in my fanfic. I think it’s the Force-user to non-Force user dynamic that presents challenges the other couples don’t face.

Talyc Kandera is Mandalorian, and Fane is Jedi. And of course, he’s struggling with wanting to serve the Jedi Order, and wanting what his heart wants.

Choosing the backgorund and adjusting its light and colour for night was easy. Adjusting my guys for light and what not was also easy. For these two, I use the faces of Inquisitors I created in Dragon Age: Inquisition, specifically to depict these characters. I had to swap on new armour and change the colours of things, but since Talyc was wearing civilian clothes and not his armour, it was much easier. It had to choose a good pose screenshot for both. I did use Puppet Tool to move the arms to it looks like they’re holding hands below what we see.

I had tried to move their heads, but it looked weird. Like this it looks sweet.

Relsor and Perce (Cosplay & Fanfic Photoshop Experiments)

Relsor and Perce are main characters from my Star Wars The Old Republic fan-fiction series. They are the antagonists of the story. Relsor is Chiss, Perce is human, both are Sith. Relsor is the leader of the True Sith faction, with Perce as his second.

For Relsor I use one of my SWTOR characters and I placed him on a background I chose for the scene. He is before the Dark Council on Dromund Kaas. Looking smug as ever.

For Perce, I used another alt from SWTOR but did some alterations to the alt for him. Nothing too complex here.

For this one, I had fun learning how to create shadow. There is a scene wher Relsor and Perce arrive on Tython, Relsor has his lightsabers at the ready, but unlit, Perce is beginning to muster lightning in his hand. I used multiple effects in Photoshop to move their arms as I needed them to be; the original images had them standing with arms down.

The tricky part was the shadows. I had never really created shadow before. Once I figured it out, it went well, but the tricky bit was with Perce. Relsor is standing in the shadow created by the trees. His own shadow is mild. Perce is standing in sunlight AND in shadow. So I had to create two shadow of two different opacities for him. It’s not perfect, for him, but at least he doesn’t look like he’s floating on my chosen background lol, or at the very least, not as much.
