Description So I had this idea that I wanted to try making one of those dramatic, cheesy Star Wars posters, complete with gratuitous lens flare and all. Over 200 layers, and one month of near-constant work on this project later, it is done. Whew. This is a bit different from what I usually do and provided an interesting challenge. This is without doubt the biggest fan art project I've done so far.

It's more Star Wars: The Old Republic! Specifically more of the Imperial Agent since I absolutely can't get enough of that story.
Apart from the agent himself (my character named Roscoe) in the middle there, I've never drawn any of these characters before. As always I love painting faces and this was very interesting, not to mention fun. I noticed for some reason 5/10 characters (if you include SCORPIO) are bald or near bald, but I digress.
Hunter was being a major pain in the butt, though (somehow not surprising). Had to be redone over 7 times before I was happy. I was also worried about the characters' likeness. If I did my job right, you can identify them all!
Hopefully I won't spoil things too much with character placement here for the people who may not have finished the story yet. I'll just say it again: Cipher Nine and Hunter have the bestest protagonist/antagonist relationship ever (yes I ship it hardcore).

Please note that the original file is about the size of an A3 paper (3508 x 4961 pixels). You can download the full size for better quality if you want.

Made in Photoshop with a Wacom tablet and a lot of love. Used a bunch of screenshots, concept art and videos for reference, as well as the official Star Wars posters for the general tone of the poster.

I hope I did them all justice.

Edit: This poster was featured in Alexander Freed's blog post "The Imperial Agent, Inspiration, and Science-Fiction Espionage (Part 1)" [link] (I just about passed out when he asked to use it)

This is so good. sums up the Agent story line so well in a poster. You totally need to do this for all the other story lines

Agent is my FAVE story line! Β Although, I think we should be allowed to take an torture droid to Hunter Β over the course of several days......

Having played every storyline for every class, Agent is still my favorite. And you've done a wonderful job here. Alas, your Agent looks nothing like mine, but that's just quibbling.

I suppose that's how it goes when games allow you to make your own characters, heh. I can't help but love it though, it allows for more freedom and creativity.

Anyway, thank you!

This great piece of work is the greatest piece of work I could ever found about the Imperial Agent:

Strongly representative, well defined and artistically outstanding.

In other words? It couldn't fit better for the Imperial Agent.

Long live the Empire! (Not the 'Evil' Sith Empire, there must be room for everyone to rule a government, not just by only Sith, you know).

Wow, thank you, that's high praise. It's such an old piece by now but I'm still fairly fond of it.

(Agreed! )

Defender of the Empire.

I love this class, it's story is the best for me. Without a single midichlorian the agent did something of the magnitude akin to the Jedi Knight.

I like the poster, but I have to admit that the Imp Agent storyline isn't my favorite. Bounty Hunter and Sith Inquisitor are tied for that position.

And yeah, that's the great part about SWTOR, all the class stories come in different flavours. There's something for everyone.

No room for Jadus?! I kid. Amazing. If only this was a movie.

KaraNan In reply to Mekzoshal [2014-02-23 18:10:05 +0000 UTC]

Leaving Jadus out was a design decision I made back when. Might've been because I wanted more emphasis on Hunter, but I can't honestly remember exactly why, heh. In retrospect I probably should've included him.

In any case, thank you :3

A film would be fantastic, or even better, a TV series to make room for all the details

This is amazing!
I love the sahding and the feeling of nostalgia in it
Also you are absolutely right about relationship between Imperial Agent and Hunter
Everyone are looking so great! I think Vector is a bit skinny? I am not really sure.... And somehow when I see Dr Lokin - I am imagining him with a cup of his favourite tea Oh and also your Agent looks soo epic! XD
In short - I love this!

Good lord, this would make a fantastic movie

Hell, just about every one of the SWTOR stories (Aside from the consular) would make fantastic movies.

KaraNan In reply to SlashInTheCDSP [2013-09-30 11:40:10 +0000 UTC]

I vote for TV miniseries (so we can have like several 45 minute or 1 hour instalments). Thanks for the fav btw c:

(PS. hell yes all the movies. Though I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the Consular, it might not be as climactic, but it does have its own bright sides)

SlashInTheCDSP In reply to KaraNan [2013-09-30 21:55:35 +0000 UTC]

I dunno... The Consular has an unusually "Fetch this, stare at that, ponder this, monotone dialogue that" aura that I believe was the reason people hated the Phantom Menace...

Although, there's a fortunate lack of a Jar-Jar binks, so that's a redeeming feature.Β

Hahah any lack of Jar-Jar is most fortunate indeed. That said, I can admit the Consular isn't for everyone.

It's simply AWESOME!!! Imperial agent is my favourite, and I am happy it's this class you would like to make a poster (sorry but my english vocabulary is to poor -.-)

Like other people, if you make others posters for the others classes, that will be amazing but I don't want to kill you at work so take your time ^^

Thank you for your splendid pic ^^ *add favourite*
