NinjaLA has sketched a new fearsome Kilrathi. With his latest warrior, Ninja has done a good job of introducing menacing facial features, and this sinister look goes beyond just drawing a humanoid tiger. The armor is inspired by the classic WC2 style with a WC Movie headpiece. Hit the discuss link to let Ninja know what you think! -- Original update published on May 12, 2012
I like this piece of art quite a bit! It holds up well to most other Kilrathi fan art I have found -- and I have looked! I guess I could talk about that for a bit? There is some -- not a lot -- of Kilrathi art in the Furry and Anime and more generic Sci Fi Fandom. Thank god there isn't that much Rule 34 -- I'd hate to see my fandoms collide that way! But if you look at Deviantart, or Furaffinity, there is some interesting stuff. Just search for "Kilrathi". Mostly on Deviantart, less so on Furaffinity (that's where I found the solitary Rule 34). This particular artwork is also found on DA! Here's some more Kilrathi artwork from Deviantart! Some of it from NinjaLA, and his stuff stands out as some of the better on Deviantart! http://zu86.deviantart.com/art/Kilrathi-Concept-127900957 http://daennika.deviantart.com/art/Kilrathi-Pilot-68681990 http://lordaramus.deviantart.com/art/kilrathi-wallpaper-121266277 http://lordaramus.deviantart.com/art/the-last-minutes-of-kilrah-197196156 http://spoofe.deviantart.com/art/Kilrathi-Warrior-13047814 http://dunetiger.deviantart.com/art/WIP-Thrakhath-Mk2-49332239 http://dunetiger.deviantart.com/art/Crown-Prince-Thrakhath-nar-Kir-49202199 http://lordaramus.deviantart.com/art/cover-for-wing-commander-comic-121266578 http://viciouslion.deviantart.com/art/Kiragah-23825323 Other than NinjaLA, I especially like this one! http://jimsam-x.deviantart.com/art/Wing-Commander-130733290 Here's some of the stuff on one artist from Furaffinity, who apparently just drew this from references someone else provided. http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1172156/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1182320/
Really nice drawing, NinjaLA, you are making huge progress with your art. I liked your old drawings as well but this one looks so much more realistic and detailed, really great! Would you be interested to do some character portraits for the pilots of my Kilrathi mod maybe, if I described how the characters look? I could include them in the manual or even ingame...
I have a rather large amount of projects going right now. feel free to use anything you think'll fit. But I can't commit to contributing directly.
