Character Portraits; par moi

I've let my drawing skills dwindle over the past few years and am finally starting to rebuild them. Part of my practice is going to be working on character portraits, for my various rpg characters and the entire party for the various online and offline games I'm playing. I figure I may as well post them here as I go...

First up, Rownn, a Jedi Wookiee from Vong's Fading Light game set during the New Jedi Order timeframe. In his first encounter with the Yuuzhan Vong, Rownn was impaled through the heart with a Vong amphistaff, but managed, through giving in to the Dark Side of the Force, to sustain himself to keep going and protect New Republic refugees from the attacking Vong.

If there are any of your characters you would like to see rendered to some level of ability, let me know. I need the practice.
In Real Life ™, people who aim to maximize their potential for lethality are called "dangerous psychotics" and are typically avoided by everyone who isn't forced to endure their company until someone has the opportunity to put them away or else put them down. No one likes that guy. Don't play that guy.

This is Tiny, an Esoomian character from the same game as Rownn, played by esoomian. He has a cybernetic hand with repulsor technology in it as his main weapon. Tiny and Rownn share some history from before the game, in which Tiny was a crime boss' protector; a crime boss against whom Rownn sought vengeance for the death of his master. Rownn removed Tiny's arm in an effort to kill the crime boss, allowing Tiny to gain his cybernetic.

The drawing is far from right :P Esoomians are rather thick, hulking creatures; my drawing attempt made him far too lean/tall and I eventually just kind of gave up on the drawing. It's bad... but this is why I'm practicing, so that I can get it right eventually.

I photoshopped the pic to make him a little more compact. It looks better, but still needs a complete re-draw.

I haven't been keeping up with this drawing thing... I feel guilty taking the time out to practice right now... but soon.

Here are a head shot (pencil & pencil crayon on paper) and a full body (dry erase marker on whiteboard) of a character I was playing in a table-top game, Imperial Regime, Darth Malice (Cpt. Kren Tagge)

And this is one of a Transformers character I was playing named Rotor, I believe.

Against my better judgment, I started sketching out a drawing that I've been owing the wife lady for a long time; a portrait of her character, Mindra Fitch, Ctp. Tagge's (above) co-pilot, and would be secret apprentice... but the game kinda ended. Anyway, I did a basic sketch earlier, and I'll finish it later with pencil.

By next you mean after his thesis of course. :p

I enjoyed the Esoomian portrait too, though Ank is correct it's too lean/tall the head and many other aspects are spot on. It'd be great to see what happens with his next attempt.
