First up, the Tal'Harton, at least one type. This particular image is of Inquisitor Voss, the only named member of his species that we've met so far. Enjoy!
I am particularly fond of the robes and his staff. I'm imagining that there is some sort of weapon inside his staff (a la the Staff Weapons from Stargate), not to mention the potential for some kind of natural venom.
Alaina and I were talking about them last night and the thought came up about snakes having the mystical ability to hypnotize people... maybe the Tal'Harton have some limited telepathic powers that are as yet unseen...
In any case, this is a well done piece, blending what should be a creature without arms and legs with the humanoid form perfectly. I love it! _________________

Nice I love having a visual reference, helps me imagine the scenes better. I find it interesting that the coloring is just as I imagined, I don't remember the color ever being mentioned in a post. _________________

Absolutely awesome... could I ask for a visual reference on the Zethny?
We have Azmay's avatar to show the Loraby, but I'm not sure Ensign Tanay's appearance is evident to most of us... |

As much as she would like to take requests she has a limited time to do actual art for herself. She is wrapped up in a very large commission piece and when she does get to do art for herself that is what she would like to do. For the time being she is going to restrict her request work. She won't be taking requests other than perhaps the occasional photo manip for a new avatar or the sig badges. These pieces are quite time consuming. For a visual artists who is paid for her work, taking time out to do something like this for fun is a big undertaking. _________________

I wasn't implying otherwise.
I was just thinking of the well-being of the Task Force as a whole. |

I'm always so envious of such talents. I wish so much that my dad's ablility to draw passed on to me... but alas, my artistic talent is with words and fabric....
a paid artist too? man... those are hard to find these days... I have a friend who's trying to get there... it's tough. props to her on getting to do what she loves for money! of that too, I am envious! _________________

Very Nice. I recall the 'earth tones' reference to the structure of the ship. Love the reference. Thank you. That is a talent and I am grateful to be able to enjoy the results of it.

And that, my friend, is the benefit of getting her to say I DO to you! Congratulations on her commission work, and on the development of this game. I have checked out several of these before I joined this Simm, and this is by far much more advanced than anything they are getting over there!
Great work Alaina! And Great imagination Tom! _________________

First off, I just want to say thank you for the kind words. They are appreciated.
Second, I had a bit of an urge to draw a tellarite. Don't ask me why. So, here's a quick character sketch of our very own Lt. Ghan. (hm, it seems he needed a, um... slightly modified uniform).
