Nicely done...Who's the female character? I suspect she's the Exile, but the hilt is curved, so impossible...Due to dual curved lightsaber, I suspect she's Asajj, but no...Asajj is bald...

Nope, there is no curved hilt in the K2.

It can't be the exile because she has a different shaped lightsaber from the game??

Very good sketch Quanon.

::Edit::
Who is Vashjj?

I think he means Asajj Ventress, but Nihilus is four thousand years before her time, plus Ventress is bald. Let's just not ask about who that Jedi is.

Thanks for the replys lads ! :lol:
The Jedi facing Darth Nihilus is just a Jedi , most change is it is the Exile .
Anyway the lightsabres are based on that one that Count Duko uses .
( Just wanted to draw something else than a cilinder :p)

I'll edit this post later on as I'm a programming lesson right now ;)

keep the commands coming !

Commands eh? Get back to work on your Fic! Just kidding, very good drawing, but I'd like to see the finished version when possible.

Wow, its sweet! :D Nihilus' cape could use a little more depth and well, so can Nihilus - he looks a little skinny. But everything else is all top-class, sir!

Nihilus has always been popular.

@Quanon: Nice sketch, the finished version will probably look awesome.

OK here's a small update , ( finannly christmiss holiday has started :))

@Pottsie : So that means I'll have some time to work on my fic to .

So I just black-lined the two figures and lightly setted more detail to the background , to slightly resemble a bit the bridge from Nihilus's ship .
Might look a bit flat now , but colouring the piece should bring a better sence of depth . As always critic is welcome , I'm truely interested as what you experts in SW think about it , so I can improve my style . ;)

Well seems like I was uber productive tonight , here just one more little step towards the finished piece . Do rember thats just the little start ... still need to the lightsabre light effect on the enviroment and characters , Nihilus mights seem a bit dull and flat now , but he's going to be a real pickle as he has two light on him ( Drama effective ;)) .
Anyway hope you people like it so far ... don't know maybe I should do some more classic Kotor show off's ???

JUst doubting to take a green or blue lightsabre for the opposition facing Nihilus?

OK , the pic is like almost finished , but I'm not totally sure about somethings .
Like should all lightsabers be on ? I just putted on two , cause three seemed like over-kill to me , ( bit dumb of me by drawing three in picture itself :laugh6: )
but as I started to color it in I realised that two was better for the drama . Also I darkned the background more , and added some fog-like effect , although I might redo this . But as always I'm asking for some comments , just watch the pic for a couple of minutes , even with your eye's half closed , if you think something needs to be changed say so , please .

edit : Just played around with different layer options in Photoshop , curious wich one looks better top or bottom ?

I think you should have both lightsabers ignited from the Jedi, since most likely, a Jedi fighting Nihilus would want the most defense and offense possible. It would be fun to see a violet, yellow, silver, green, etc. colored lightsaber in the Jedi's other hands.

As I said before, great job man. Keep it up.

Thanks for the comments folks ;)
I'll try out that third sabre , I just hope it doesn't become a bit overkill , don't it migth starting to look like a dico scene with Nihilus :lol: , anyway I'll test it out it might indeed look better and I'll fat out blue sabre , looks a bit thin don't you think ???

EDIT : Here we go , three different version of the three lightsabres !
Comments are still welcome !

Yeah, and Pottsie likes Darth Sion.

Yes I do. Nihilus is my least favourite Sith Lord in the KOTOR series, along with Malak, but I admit Nihilus is good in concept art, like this.

Well I was wondering what I could do next , just thinking I could do a small series of "Big Bosses " . Already searched for some pics from Malak , but have no idea what he should be doing or ofcourse Sion is cool to . But then again drawing recognizable faces is not my strongest point ( never ask me to draw a portrait of you ;) or you'll get something disturbing :lol: ) , but hey I'll try something out , ideas are already forming in my head ! ( Just as I was planning to write for my fic !!! :p)

@Pottsie : what is it you exactly want as a drawing for your Fic ? I'm truely intrigued by it ?

Sorry, I don't think I made any sense. The drawing of Nihilus you drew has given me some ideas for my Fic. I hope this makes sense.

ow I see , well anyway to late now , already started sketching on a Sion scene ! :lol:

But I'll tweak a little more on this drawing , it needs a nicer presentation then this .
Well I'll post some news soon on the Sion drawing , as I'm playing around with the model in 3D-Max :p .

In one of my new upcoming Chapters in my Fic, I will use the Nihilus sketch to help me. Highlight the spoiler below:

Revan will have a duel with Nihilus inside a temple.

And yes, I wanted you to draw Sion. He needs some attention.

After Darth Nihilus it was clear I could not pass by Sion . So here we go , some practice sketches as we wanted this Dark Lord in full motion :p .
Last one in the row is the final piece , but it still needs to be cleaned up a bit and some floor details as well .

LOL , settle down you two , before I have to kick you out of my gallery :lol:
It would suprise you that Sion is in fact a handsome lad , ( I've did some research in 3D-Max on the model ;) ) , give him back his eye and a some more human skin and Sion would look like the perfect date for Mrs.Universe .

I don't really dislike a character so much in the Kotor serie , well perhaps Carth :D , give me Atton , I just know you could have a fun night out with that one , not to mention the abuse of Jumma Juice ofcourse :lol:

Anyway I'll continue my work ....

Anyway already made my own saberhilt for TSL :D , yeah !!!

I just import so models from TSL make different renders from all kind of angels so I can get a good idea how the thingy looks . With Sion I had my fun :lol: as a doll on strings I made him do silly walks ( chuckles ) .

Anyway I'm to lazy to continue to night .
