Custom Mando Art

And then theres me! sitting here. Not working on his sketch. Hmmmm that reminds me! I should probably go work on it

hey 4 pages!!! lol yeah Lev'ika u need to get to work ner vod! lol

about half done at the moment

lol that makes 2 of us! lmao, problem is urs is a lil more complicated than what I've got... althought I was considering doing a mass sketch like that, still working on the mass sketch of just all the mandos together. It's taking forever!

im going to take it one step at a time

Always adding new pages to make a massive sketch

yup, same here... SOP. I'm having to draw each mando individually and pose them so that they'll fit together in one big line with some depth, kinda like a mass group photo

ya we definatly do different stuff! its really good though

its good because than its not like any competition thing its like two perpectives

lol yup... altho... I am actually working on a battlefield sketch too, very similar to urs, but NOT the same! somewhat different

we should combine a sketch sometime! Some of your stuff mixed with some of mine

lol I was actually thinking about doing that! We'll see what we can do once we get our current work done!

ya! im not sure how it would work at the moment but we'll think of something

Like our two mandos together or something like that

@ Lev'ika: yeah we'll see, plenty of time... it'll proally have to wait 'til after the move tho.

@ everyone: I have sketches!!! lol I'm still missing one, A'd'ika's sketch is still being redone, that one's a lil more difficult due to lack of reference material... first off we have Mer'ika's redraw... sorry that it looks a lil dark, had some trouble with the greyscale. Second, we have Nevu's redraw... tried to do the spinning pistols but they caused some problems... so he's just got a pair of smoking guns... finally we have Ori'Ad's action sketch... that wampa's in som serious trouble! lol Still working on A'd'ika's and Lev'ika's new request... we'll see how those turn out, but first... I have to sketch up how I want my buy'ce to look for A'd'ika to work from.

They look great!! especially after the whole chocolate milk accident and redoing them all alst night!

lol yeah I thought so too given the time period they were done in

so whats next?

umm... bucket design to A'd'ika, urs, pacx's if he ever posts pics... then... i dunno, proally won't be taking any more requests for a lil while, I've got a TDY assignment coming up and won't be able to work on 'em much for a few weeks, plus I'm moving so...lol

My chance too catch up

I might end up taking a break later on to, but not for awhile

I love mine! So much cooler!! I think, this may sound weird but.. Its the poped colar that makes it really cool. lol. Smoking guns, sweeeeeet. And he is zoomed in a bit more this time. great work vod! kandosii!!!

just by looking at Kals sketch, do you still have the goutee part of your bucket? Or should i take it off the sketch. Cause Kals doesnt have it in it so i was wondering if you took it off

lol yeah here's the thing on that... I just didn't know that update had been made... oops! lol

Looks like Nevu's been out cappin jawa's

Love mine, now I know the whip will be yellow like the saber I plan on makin' cool.

lol yeah actually... I colored it yellow because I remember u saying your lightsaber was yellow! he he

OSSIM!!!!

lol thanks vode!

BTW... A'd'ika I promise I'm still working on it ner vod. Lev'ika yours too. Just have to have a few more days, problem is I just don't have enough hours in the day to do what I need to! lol

Take your time vod! Remember this isn't our job LOL but man do I wish it was!

he he it'd be a fun job! I'm working on finishing up A'd'ika's sketch right now... plan on starting yours tonight Lev'ika and/or do a final render of my WIP armor.

the hydra one looks awesome

Thanks! BTW... I must apologize vode! I've been a bit of a dikutla mando'ad, I still haven't had time to get new markers, thanks to the crappiest work schedule known to man. I have to get 1 more mission in prior to graduation, and they keep taking me off of the schedule or just not putting me on schedule, and we only have 3 more flying days before graduation! If the weather doesn't hold out... I could be in trouble! As for the sketches... A'd'ika I have yours sketched, lined and partially colored... not enough I'd be willing to post it, which is okay since my scanner is not cooperating with my PC anyways. Lev'ika same boat with yours ner vod... I may be taking these with me on my TDY. I apologize again for the delays... but I've been sooo busy with RL stuff, I hate it when RL interferes with my fun stuff.

its no problem at all! Life is busy! I would hate to be responsible for adding more to your work load! Im sure graduation coming up is really exciting!

Keep your eye on that goal!

actually... graduation coming up is kinda upsetting right now! lol I have 2 days to fit in my last mission, which is a problem with Florida weather being as unpredictable as it is. As for my artwork... progress!!! A'd'ika your sketch is FINISHED and COLORED!!! Lev'ika I'll have the color on yours tomorrow afternoon. I had to swipe some of my ad'ika's crayola markers but dadgum it they're gettin' finished! lol Actually guys... neither of your sketches have a background on them... there's a reason for it tho... I'm going to combine your sketches and then add a background. So your individual sketches will have a blank field behind it, but I will be combining your two sketches to make one... and I'll add a background to it.

awesome vod! excited to see it!!!

same here!!

Okay vode... the long awaited, much rumored, FINALLY ready to be shown sketches for A'd'ika and Lev'ika. Keep in mind these do not have backgrounds drawn in for 2 reasons. First... I simply didn't have the marker endurance left in my colors to be able to do a decent background. Second, I fully intend to use these particular sketches in a massive battle sketch that I am working on as you guys are reading this. So... without further adoo... here they are!

I love it!!!!!!!

glad you like it ner vod! I was kinda worried cuz I messed up your jaing eyes a bit... (They're a tad... swollen... so to speak...lol) But I was actually quite pleased with that one otherwise... I can't wait to get my background added in there. My mass sketch is going to be basically Mandos v Deathwatch... maybe a Vong and a Jedi thrown in here and there... sorry Ori'ad no Wampas but I'll find you something to get that whip after! lol

DEATH WATCH SCUM!! sweet! I'm excited sorry about the switch of accounts. Someone got kicked off the computer LOL

lol it happens to the best of us

Well someone is supposed to be studying for a math unit exam.... Oops LOL

What my parents don't understand is that I've been studying at school every chance I get. Plus I've already studyed an hour and will be before the test

hey ner vod, I used to study for HOURS on end for tests... in fact, early on in my training here we had academics... I used to sit in my room with my laptop and study whilst I checked my TDH updates (or the other way around). It's okay, it's one of those things you just have to be able to keep yourself on a study schedule.

but this is grade 10 math Ill get really serious once i get into my computer science/ computer design

but ya studying is something that i need to do a lot of. btw i got the computer back

lol I see that! Hey hang in there ner vod, I have faith in ya! BTW... will work up a rough draft of my monster sketch tonight/tomorrow

Sweet! any idea when you will get a chance to color up the battle sketch?

lol unfortunately probably not until I get back from my TDY... I have to get new markers before I can work on it. I won't be able to get (afford to get) new markers until I get back (thank the manda for per diem & travel pay)

alright take your time! my family is going through something almost similar at the moment

lol like I said, glad I get per diem and travel pay whilst I'm gone. I think I get an extra $80 per day in per diem and I get a couple thousand bucks in travel pay. After I pay for my flight and my room while there I should pocket a few hundred bucks of the left over... hopefully! lol

im rooting for it

he he me too

Yeah, I'm stuck in Geometry land... ugh proofs!!! I feel your sophomore pain...



kal'ika: excellent work vod! Alpha and A'den look fierce.

what grade you in? If you dont mind me asking

Thanks Ord'ika!

Sophomore, wise-fool, 10th, blah blah blah.

Haha grade 10 sucks well im gonna go work on your sketch

Kal, somehow I totally managed to miss this...until now...

wow.

that is all...

not really...THANK YOU VOD!!! It looks awesome!!! and I like the large amounts of gold instead of black!!! :thumbup

he he no prob it was my pleasure, and I liked it too! I thought the extra gold here and there really distinguished some of the features of the armor and made it a bit more aggressive looking.

hey lev'ika I was wondering... If I were to setup a thread for us to use to post our completed sketches... kinda like a gallery, would u be interested in sharing a thread for that?

thats a great idea, call it Kal's and Levi's art museaum
or Levi and Kal: Mando Art Gallery

Do it! Do it! Do it!

OOOOO i like that idea! go for it

OK GENTS.

You can stop missing me now. Life has been hard without me, I know, but we managed, didn't we?

My much humble apologies for the lack of pictures and anything else really. I've been in a really bad situation and also been working hard on a new project as relief.

I did a complete redesign of Je'Karta, so he'll be up later. It's gonna be a combo of my recent project and a mando, so hold on to your chestplate.

hey dude it's okay I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere right now! lol

yay!! Kals on! Been a bit man

yeah i know... have a few days on base, thought I'd take advantage of it

What Kal? NO iPhone? JK
I get online once in a while with mine, but been busy tonight.
Good to see your still alive, no mountain lions or anything ate you.

I can imagine a guy in full mando gear frisking himself looking for his iPhone...

Thats adonian all right

I love electronics.
here's the one I plan on using.

lol no, we couldn't take phones out there with us, even if I could tho it'd probably still be worthless because of the area. Didn't see any mountain lions... heard the wolves a few times at night tho...lol

did you check out my hobbit sketch on my thread?

ah sweet, I love the wolves when they bay at the moon.

ya! get that here a lot!

your so lucky, all i get is freakin coyotes, and I wanna shoot them.

yeah I did lev'ika... it's pretty good! As for the wolves... loved hearing that, it was such a beautiful sound. Only got to listen to 'em for a few nights tho, it rained most of the time.

haha no doubt.. thats mostly what we get Take out the shotgun.. I've got 2

yeah Coyotes are annoying as heck... that's most of what we have at home, instead of a shotgun I usually go for my AR15... more holes at longer ranges! lmao

wish I could cap 'em, but I live in a nice neighborhood, but a 22LR is quiet enough , and 1 shot 1 kill is good enough for me... SNIPE THAT BITC#

haha but some of us dont have military weapons

22lr (22 long rifle) cheap rifle at any sporting goods store like $100.00

lol... I live (at home) in the backwoods so nobody gives me any problems over firin' off a few rounds with my AR. Now where I live in FL, that'a a different story...lol

i was thinking about kals gun and i dont have to money to buy myself anything bigger.. The shot gun has some sweet designs on it too

lol btw... AR15 is civilian, military issue is the M16/M4 family, however, some ARs are marketed as "M4" because they are similar in appearance.

I remember when I was visitin family in Georgia, we just went out back and started shootin at the deer... we missed, but it was fun.

ha ha that can be costly if it's out of season! lmao I usually like to just punch holes in paper myself, but if I can get a critter (legally) I will.

if its in my back yard, season or not, fair game if you ask me

haha!

Kal: *shoots Coyote* ****, I'm running out of places in your body to shoot my bullets!

lol that's funny

ok here's the lineup for what I have right now:

1. Badshebs Kal (90%)
2. MedievalWolf's Katarn Mando (90%)
3. Raz's Tribal Mando (on hold for details)
4. Kal and Fi action 1 (0% Starting)
5. Kal and Fi action 2 (0%)
6. Group Sketch (0%)
7. Mass battle sketch (0%)

looks like we both have long lineups hopefully you can do something nice for Raz's tribal mando.. i just had a massive creative block on that one

yeah I am too... that's why I asked him for more details... just can't get started on it

I was going to have him jumping over a nexu while flaming it with his flamethrower but i just couldnt seem to get it down

hmmm... I dunno... I think I need more info before I can really get a good idea

ya... his was harder since it wasnt a traditional mando

yup, same problem here

this is not a definate but im considering after i finish the list, that MAYBE ill stop doing sketchs. I just feel like im having trouble getting my thoughts on paper recently

but maybe itll turn arond :/

ya know maybe a sebatical is in order... a short break. I wouldn't stop tho... u're quite talented. Albeit, u may have to ask for more specifics as to what they want...lol I have had to do that from time to time. Problem is... we start to run out of ideas, or we have ideas that are beyond our skills... the issue is just to make sure that what we keep our ideas within our skill set.

thanks Kal, you always know what to say
