Mandalorian Love Triangle (SWTOR Fanfic Photoshop Experiments)

Agent Vax, also known as Cypher Five, is a former lover of Talyc’s, and he still has feelings for him. Talyc is with Fane, a Jedi defying the rules of the Order in order to be with him, who is also about to fufil his destiny and has a 50% chance of dying. And as happened in previous chapters, Vax wants to get between them.

Vax is also a character I created in SWTOR. Fane’s armour, like Talyc’s is from SWTOR, while his head, like Talyc’s, is from Dragon Age: Inquisition, all created specifically to depict these characters.

Placing Vax with Fane was not complicated, and I used a screenshot of Dromund Kaas, the Imperial Intelligence Head Quarters for their confrontation. I only slightly moved Fane’s arm.

Similarly, I placed Talyc and Vax on a background from my guild’s Imperial side stronghold on Dromund Kaas to depict Vax’s apartment. Both Talyc and Fane’s armours get a hole recolouring in Photoshop. Here I bent Talyc for him to be leaning, since here he is drunk and wanting to forget his pain by attempting to cheat on Fane with his ex (oh the angst these two always go through), and moved his arm to appear as though he’s leaning on the wall for support.

In both images, Vax’s expressions come directly from SWTOR Mood emotes.

As always, I’m open to feedback.

Imperial, Sith, and Jedi Allies (SWTOR Fanfic Photoshop Experiments)

The Jedi always have unlikely allies from unlikely places. One such place is the Sith Empire. Here Lord Void stands with the Minister of Imperial Intelligence, now openly offering an alliance of sorts, given the circumstances. Both characters are depictions from SWTOR, again placed on a background from a screenshot taken directly from Dromund Kaas.

And here, Lian Kloh, the Guardian of the Crypt, whose life is bound to it now, senses Relsor in the Force after meditating. I brought in his arms a bit to make in appear as though he is kneeling, and had him use an emote from SWTOR.

Force Life Drain (SWTOR Fanfic Photoshop Experiments)

As it was revealed in the previously released chapter of The Future of the Force, Awgro is related to Talyc, and his sole purpose is to kill him so he can pass the trials to gain mastery of the Crypt. Awgro was introduced as a potential ally in previous fanfic novellas, but is set to be the new antagonist for the group of Mandalorians and Jedi, and their actual Sith allies.

Using depictions I created for each character (Awgro fully in SWTOR, and Talyc’s head from Dragon Age: Inquisition with armour from SWTOR), I did my usual placing of the characters on a SWTOR screenshot background. I played around with Awgro’s face, tilted his head, and adjusted his eyes and mouth to fit the scene. I also moved his arm and curled his fingers.

Talyc was easy to place. I used a position from a character I’d recorded, same for the head. However, I had never done Force Life Drain before. Turns out it’s not so different from lightning, but with different settings, more blurring, and some dodge and burn usage in Photoshop. Then I colourised to get the red colour. The dodge and burn tool made it possible to have the lighter and darker tones in the filaments.

As always, I’m open to feedback.

Lightsabers & Wounds (SWTOR Fanfic Photoshop Experiments)

The duel between Knarf and Perce was a long time coming and it finally culminates on Ziost. In Story 7, Perce tried to kill Knarf on Mandalore, but Relsor’s goals were different then. Here, it is strange how they ended up on Ziost with what led them there, and Perce pounces on the opportunity to eliminate his rival.

Perce is a True Sith, the leader of the Followers of Kromus, Relsor’s second, a powerful Force-user and a slicer, but not as good as Knarf, and the two enemy Force-users have been at odds for a long time now.

Here, I used a character in the appropriate armour in a fighting pose, and placed Knarf’s head on it, cosplayed so-to-speak by my husband. Perce is depicted by the character Killian in-game, a non-Force-user there, so I used the weapon display screen for a lightsaber fighting stance. Getting mid-motion poses to fit is interesting, getting the lightsaber angles right was a bit trickier.

Perce has the power of a Holocron for regeneration, so he can only die if pierced through the heart. Getting this lightsaber cauterisation wound, the right angle for the blade and for both characters was a ot trickier than I though it would be, but a lot of fun to play around with and not nearly as impossible than one might think.
