Beautiful artwork of my character on her bridge Mid-battle, by Alex Dai

gradiigradii Member Posts: 2,824 Arc User
So I commissioned the amazing artist Alex Dai to draw my character, and this is the epic result:

I will hopefully be getting a larger "Final" file soon, and will post it here when I do.

"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    We have a new "Loading Screen" candidate.
    Very cool.

    Haha they'd have to ask him. as I said in the OP Alex Dai drew this, I'm definitely not that good at art.

    Or are you referring to the LCARs in the backround being a copy of the STO loading screen? :smile:

    I mean it would make a cool Loading screen image is all. Its very nice artwork.
    But yeah, they'd have to negotiate with the artist. But I think it would look nice in game.
    Very nice keepsake in any event.

    Well obviously it fails as serious artwork. Two science officers at helm and Opps? And a captain who'd ordering two drinks in the middle of a battle!


    ...


    Seriously, it's a well drawn and coloured and very dynamic piece of work, so well done to the artist and congratulations to you to posses it :).

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    That was excellent work - how much direction did you give, out of curiosity?

    I gave some character and backround references and a suggestion that she should be sitting in her bridge chair giving some kind of order, the artist figured out how to make it look good.
