This was a tough one. I had to take numerous breaks until this was revised and felt just right! SushiPrincess supplies me with a number of great reference photos, but I still had to do a serious amount of guessing and make a lot of decisions to make the characters fit my style. I think ultimately, it was a success!

Hopefully, she likes my versions of her OC's, and is happy with my interpretation. I'm not sure Kadajj is actually wielding "darksabers" as I interpreted them (you know, as the saber as seen swung around by Pre Vizsla in the Clone Wars Cartoon). Also, the scene she asked for was danger unfolding on top of a mountain on the planet Rattatak. I did some homework on Rattatak, and am not convinced there were too many mountains there, but plenty of canyons, so I tried to make it look like they were high up on some creepy canyons (the planet is pretty orange/red). Anyway, I really hope she likes the interpretation, as I had a lot of fun! But I'm also ready to change those saber colors if that's not what she had in mind! haha

Thanks again to her for commissioning me! You can see my rates here:

Very cool! Cinematic indeed.

Man, I had a Star Wars character named K'daj ages and ages ago, and then got ticked off when I learned there was a "Kadaj" in Final Fantasy...it's a cool name; I guess it's popular!

Wow, it must've been a while ago, Advent Children came out in like 2005 originally! Unless you found out about it the next year when it was dubbed for the USA...but still! haha It is indeed a cool name!

Anyway, thanks!

This was a loooong time ago. Probably 2005 or 2006, because I remember reading an article about a new FF game. This was literally the first Star Wars story I ever wrote, back when I wrote only about Luke Skywalker's daughter Cy... K'daj was her rival Padawan's Master. Good times. I think I've made some progress since then!

You're welcome. ^_^

I'm a huge Final Fantasy VII fan and my OC needed a cool name that could sound Rattataki somehwo, so the decision was easy

OMG!! WOW!!!! this is gorgeous I was expecting something awesome, but this even beats my expectations.... the darksabers are perfect!!! I'm also satisfied with the canyon scenery, and both Kadajj and Josea are so badass

thank you so much

It's great work!! Could you also provide the hi-res, so I can have it printed out?

JoeHoganArt In reply to Sushiprincess [2011-05-18 19:21:56 +0000 UTC]

Absolutely! I'll do a quick color correction for print (I did it in RGB) but none of the colors are so saturated that they'll look muddy with print. Please hook me up with your email address!

great work, I really like his hair. personally I'm not much for black "lightsabers" or dark sabers if that's the name for them, but sometimes it just works for a character and I must admit it looks really great on her. I like the texture you use on the background.
