Kuma Jamis, Jedi Knight

A little while ago, and myself kinda challenged each other to create some Star Wars OCs, and the first we decided to go for was a Jedi warrior. Well (pretty obviously, probably ) THIS is my offering, and I hope it sets her quaking in her All Stars.

Kuma Jamis is a Knight (but not yet a MASTER) from the "Golden Age" of the Jedi, the days of the Old Republic (some 4,000 years before the Star Wars trilogy), back when the Jedi were actively at war with the Sith. She's still young and a little reckless, still goes more with her heart (and perhaps blind trust in the will of the Force) than her head, but she's also pretty sharp ... and she has a pretty canny run of luck too. She's an excellent saber-fighter too, so she's pretty handy in a scrap.

This was a really fun project to work on, and I'm already DYING to return to this character, likely for a proper pin-up - I'd love to show her in action with her lightsaber. I have perhaps been A LITTLE cavalier with the design work here - her costume isn't really the classic Jedi look, but then I reasoned since she's from the Old Republic era I could be a little more flexible there. I also kinda made up my own alien race here for her (obviously she's some kind of alien catgirl , but then that's me all over), for which I haven't worked out too many particulars yet ... but I DO know that her markings (natural, NOT tattoos) are bioluminescent, so they glow in the dark ...

P.S. - if you guys are curious, I THINK I found the Jedi symbol on Wikipedia ... I can't REALLY remember, it was a good long while ago. The main image is from there, but the colour work itself was my own ...

inks created with Pilot Hi-tecpoints on Bristol Board, digital colours in Gimp 2.6 with my Wacom Bamboo pen. You can also find my original pencils and inked lineart in my scrapbook: [link] and [link] Star Wars, the Jedi, the Old Republic and all that stuff was created by George Lucas, but this girl's MINE, so hands off ...
