Hmm. I’m not seeing any holsters or slings for any of those weapons.Are their hands always thus occupied?

Priorities, Brad!

Hmm. I’m not seeing any holsters or slings for any of those weapons.

They had weapons?

* looks again *

Oh, yea; they do. I didn't notice that the first time. Hm.

On the left is Tess Aurora, block-captain for a very ambitious Black Sun Vigo who happens to be Prince Xizor's niece.

Why isn't she green?

She means the Vigo is Xizor's niece, not Tess.

At least, I'm pretty sure.

Hmm. I’m not seeing any holsters or slings for any of those weapons.

I expect this is something of a 'modelling shot' and in reality, they have proper harnesses and rifle-slings and everything.

It's one of those things like Conan and Red Sonja rarely have scabbards for their weapons. Willing suspension of disbelief and all that. The fanservice pictures are not always strictly canon for us; think of them as fan pictures of Rey or Leia or whatever. Aurora does go barefoot where she can, though.

Why isn't she green?

As Absol correctly mentioned, Aurora is human so she's not green. Probably poor wording on my behalf there.

Savan is indeed green as you can see below. She's the employer of the Black Sun PC group and the blackmailer of many other PCs. She's very much the 'femme fatale' film-noir antagonist; a literal 'Dragon Lady'. She will convince you to sell her your soul and you'll do it with a smile. While she's certainly ruthless and manipulative, she's probably not a 'villain' in terms of the campaign, considering how shades-of-grey it all is. She actually looks out for the welfare of her agents and sees them as long-term investments, not disposable tools, and she cultivates a peculiar loyalty among them. She's a fun character to portray - I give her a slight New England accent for some reason.

(I couldn't find any safe-for-work pictures - she's not exactly a 'safe-for-work' kind of person! But from the face shots, you can see she's definitely green...

The other gal in the last picture is Tess Aurora, the nearest thing she really has to a friend...)

Scales? I didn’t realize they had scales….

Scales? I didn’t realize they had scales….

I think it really was somewhere in the physiology description. Most artwork doesn't show scales - which is a shame, I really think they add interesting texture. I absolutely love those first two Falleen Close-ups, Maelora! (ok- the other artwork is also pretty rad to be honest)

Thanks. Different artists portray characters with a different look obviously. Personally I like the scales - it makes her look different and more alien somehow, rather than just a green human.

Xexto Ace Pilot: Captain Traxo - he really wanted to have some tricks up his sleeve... even if it looked ridiculous.

Also, I'm betting that Darth Syren and Savan Sizhran would be Facebook friends at the very least :)

HAHAHA! YES! Oh they totally would be! They probably have a lot in common... just being badass ladies with special pheromone powers, if nothing else! ;)

And truly, it's there any better kind of lady? I mean, the kind that is NOT out to kill you is rather boring. At least, that's the reason I chose to believe for why I don't get any dates...

"...and what matters ain't the 'who's baddest'

But the ones who stop you falling from your ladder..."

The Heavy, 'Short-Change Hero'

Dang. Love these ladies. Fantastic art, too! If these ladies showed up in our campaign, I'm pretty sure the other players would throw their Jedi Code straight out the window *lol*

Code? What code? ;)

Here's a little cute drawing of my current PC, Pips and her gf Hylo Sortuli! I just figured out recently that Hylo is a legit NPC from the Dead in the Water adventure, which I thought was pretty awesome! We have so many great NPCs in our campaign, I have no idea which ones are based in the FFG books! Anyways, I guess she's mine now! *lol*

A-hem:

AAAAAWWWWWW~ :wub:

They're so ~cute~ together! I already liked Pips, now I just like her more!

Tvrrourr - A Warrior Aggressor/Shii-Cho Knight who's had to have an arm replaced with cybernetics and has developed an affinity for loud tropical shirts.

Dunno if this one's too steamy... I don't think so, but considering my players, I have a poor grasp of what is and what isn't socially acceptable sometimes :) I am inured to things that would likely 'trigger' today's generation of sensitive snowflakes, so let me know if this goes too far...

Anyway, I think it has a nice 'Edge of Empire' ambiance; Jonava 'Smokin' Jo' Belstar and Captain Ardanna Cynn, two women brought together by a love of freedom, adventure, and cheap revealing black synth-leather clothing:

"Let me steal away... here I'm growing pale...

Like the leaves decay, as summer fades away...

Let me see the rain kiss the window-pane

'Neath the tree we wait...

Rain won't go away...

Shelter from the rain

Lightning strikes again

Shelter from the rain

Let me shelter you, if you shelter me again...

Let me save a flower - I won't let you fade away...

So no jealous shower will wash your blaze away

Let me free to steal roses while I may

Let me free, or else I might run away...!"

Two hawt chicks kissing? Nah, there’s no way that is too steamy!!!

Now, a blue Twi’lek with red hands and black fingers? Hmm….

I've said this before, but it needs to be said again:

AAAAWWWWWWW!!! :wub:

Now, a blue Twi’lek with red hands and black fingers? Hmm….

One assumes that's her gloves...

(and if you're looking at her hands, you're missing the point! :) )

I wish I could fave this more than once!

I was dying to ask who the lovers were on your film poster, KG.

Also love the Hawaiian shirt wookiee. I'm relieved to know such shirts are A Thing in a galaxy far, far away, and that they come in XXL sizes! :)

One assumes that's her gloves…

And what about the other one? Her hand looks like it’s … glowing?

(and if you're looking at her hands, you're missing the point! :) )

So long as they are kissing, then if they’re going to be doing anything else that is particularly … interesting … then it is likely to be done with their hands. I know you’ve got some pictures on DA where the hands are conveniently just out of frame, because of what they are doing.

So, yeah — with two hawt chicks kissing, I’m DEFINITELY going to be looking at what their hands are doing….

While I understand that they're Cynn's gloves, I have to agree with Brad here: hand placement is VERY important >_< ...

But it's ROMANTIC, gorram-it! Not...you know...what he's implying...

... >_<

And what about the other one? Her hand looks like it’s … glowing?

Jo's a biotic. Being kissed evidently gets her telekinetic thang on :)

Not just being kissed; being kissed like THAT in the rain...that would probably get my TK going, and I'm not telekinetic (that I know of)!

:wub:

EDIT: Now, precognizant, on the other hand, there may be an argument for...
