I was recently commissioned by James, an Edge of the Empire<\/a> GM, to draw his campaign’s party. He runs a game for his two friends and their five children, which is so<\/em> cool. How does the saying go, a family that harnesses the light side together, stays together?<\/p>\n

He sent me descriptions of all of their characters, along with helpful links (because I warned him in advance my Star Wars knowledge is limited to what I’ve learned from the Bacta Basics<\/a> segments on the Campaign podcast<\/a>), and we agreed on a police lineup type poster, because they’re a bunch of scoundrels (and I’ve literally *just now* learned that Timothy Zahn’s book “Scoundrels<\/a>” features the same image style on its cover. So…force-sensitive minds think alike, I guess?).<\/p>\n

Here’s the layout I created to make sure I got the body shapes, heights and poses right, and – following James’s approval, the clean sketch.<\/p>\n

\"Edge<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Edge<\/a><\/p>\n

For colour, James mentioned his friends’ family had a system where each member has their own colour for stuff – water bottles, backpacks etc – so they know what belongs to whom (apparently that’s helpful in a family of seven people). I loved that idea – both for real life and for the poster – and tried to incorporate each person’s colour in a clear, but subtle enough way.<\/p>\n

This is what we ended up with, which I hope the party likes! You can read their adventures on their Obsidian Portal adventure log: http:\/\/deathfrombelow.obsidianportal.com\/adventure-log<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Edge<\/a><\/p>\n

May the Force be forever in your favour!<\/p>\n
