Sorry, it may be a bit off topic, but I think maybe I could post some portraits I have drawn for Action Stations Chapter 1. I drew drafts of all the characters whose identity is identified and showing their faces in the Imperial palace scene and speaks, and all these portraits are in this picture:
I would like to invite you old super fans to guess who they are. If old super fans recognizes them correctly, then there might be no serious deviation in my works.
Hint: One character appeared twice with two different expressions here and there is also a character that doesn't appear in this scene (in 2634, he was not yet born or still very young, I think).
In fact, I haven't painted seriously for many years. My previous experience was graffiti on exercise books in high school. I am so grateful that Action Stations gave me the enthusiasm to pick up the pen again. I know this portrait style I tried may be quite different from the original. A friend of mine gave me some confidence. He said that if fans want to see the original style, they will go to the game, and my own creation needs to come with my own style. Now I have the courage to post these drafts here.
Although I have known the name of Wing Commander series for a long time, actually I getting in touch with the series of games and novels is a matter of recent months. So my understanding may be very limited, and there may be deviations in specific details such as clothing, please correct me.
In fact, I would like to use the visual novel engine Ren'Py to present certian scenes of Action Stations and other novels. Under consideration of game operability, I hope that the main timeline of this visual novel starts at a certain point several years after the end of the Terran-Kilrathi War, in a certain earth city far from the center of the whirlpool, some people are talking about history fragments in order to bring out the some scenes in the novels.
I am not sure if this idea is reasonable, so I would like to try my best to understand the relevant backstory and this is the purpose of this thread.
BTW, FF14 Hrothgars are really great as the character body and facial models.
