Alright, I've been pondering to set up a journal like this for quite a while now, so here it is. I am the author of Rage of the Shadow Warriors, a series of fanfiction stories in Beyond the Saga that are centered on Mandalorians in the NJO-era. You can find links to it in my sig or my profile.

The list is at the top, you can view the backstory below it. :)

I also have set this whole thing up as a Gallery on the Fanon wiki: [link]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since I'm also an arty person, it's only natural that I make the covers for my stories. But it goes even further than that. In addition to photomanipulations I make to illustrate my OCs (often based on real actors that represent my conception of them), I'm diving even a little deeper and into technical things. Since I'm not an allrounder, I can't do all of that myself (gee, I can't even draw properly^^), and am really indebted to great artists such as Kuk-Man, CucumberBoy and itmon for providing me with creative help. Especially my buddy Kuk-Man has done so much for me, I don't even know where to start to pay him back.

All started with a simple request to draw one of my OCs from my first fic in his full suit of Mandalorian armor. Kuk came back to me with a rough draft which he worked into a better sketch that fitted the character perfectly, the Mandalorian Slug-gunner Ayden Stone, but he did even more. He was inspired by my request and drew a whole handful of concepts for Mandalorian with different specialties, and one of them also fitted for one of my characters, namely the Mandalorian Swordmaster (see his gallery). You can find all of his concepts in his awesome DevArt gallery on page 2. Then, we worked together on some details and he finalized the artworks. I was so thrilled by the Swordmaster, that I kinda „forgot“ about my original request. I inked and colored that blade-loving Mando and ta-da!, we had Gladus Tite, one of my main OCs.
Currently, Kuk and I are working on a big art project on my major OC, Ronan Barec. I can't post any progress on that, yet, unless Kuk is okay with it. Only one bit I that is already finished: Ronan's main weapon, the EE-23 weapons system. Kuk was very creative on that, and came up with a whole technical backstory and a lot of other stuff, I'm really indebted for this incredible work. I also worked on one of his concept on Ronan's insignia, and he designed Ronan's clan symbol.

So much for Kuk. Like I said, I also did some photomanips of other characters, but you can see that in the list below. I also approached other artists, such as ~CucumberBoy who allowed me to use a blaster concept of his and then drew a modified Firespray fighter (like Slave I) for me, which I haven't finalized yet, either. Another artist who I approached is *itmon. He has a very unique style with trademark shady and dark ink linearts, and as it happens, my current icon here on TFN is based off a coloring of one of itmon's Boba Fetts. Anyhow, a few months back I requested a scene of Gladus Tite from him, and he came up with an incredibly awesome rendering: [link]
Then, of course, there was the revival of the Star Wars Artists' Guild, which allowed me to place some requests... namely, Berdan Ngajio Angantire, a character that has yet to appear, Macos Fenix and Salem Rios, done by the great artists ~KhairulHisham, Mercy and ~AsokYeesrim.
Update as of Febuary 08: Recently, one of the greatest SW fan artists out there, none else than ~ragelion, returned to doing SW art again. I sent him a PM, welcoming him back, and gave a tongue-in-cheek joke that if he wanted to draw a Mando and needed inspiration, he knew whom to ask. Well, totally suprisingly, he said he was up to it, and I gave him a list of current EU Mando characters. He picked Ram Zerimar, he had seen him in my gallery, and shortly, he came back with a kickass fanart of that Mandalorian sniper. And then, what blew me away, he said he was working on Ayden Stone - and I didn't even request him that, he just gave it to me as a kinda gift. Surely, Kuk's drawing of him was a great basis to go on! Really, ragelion's awesome! :horns: That's his result, and of course, I immediately started doing the colors.

And although my stories are probably not even quality enough to „deserve“ so much media, I really love detailing out my stuff, aside from the fun it is to effect photoshop sk1lls. I'm too much of a perfectionist....

Now, if anyone of you great artists here happens to be interested in contributing to my humble fanfiction, even in inking something or just sketching something out (I can do the post work like inking and coloring myself, as you can see), I'd more than appreciate it!

But, most importantly, enjoy! :horns:

And, as a post note, I recommend checking out the brilliant Mando fanfiction Have Blaster, Will Travel, by Quiet_Mandalorian on TFN. It's way better than my stuff, and is what inspired me to start writing Mandies... ;p

Hallo Landsmann! :D Erstmal danke vielmals, dass du dir die Zeit nimmst um ein Kommentar abzugeben, freut mich dass es dir gefällt. :)

Ja, im englischsprachigen Raum hat man mehr Chancen, dass seine fanfics gelesen werden. Anfangs hab ich auf deutsch geschrieben und dann übersetzt, aber es geht viel einfacher direkt auf Englisch. Macht Spass, und hilft meine Sprachkentnisse zu erweitern. :D

Wenn du irgendwelche Kritik im Detail hast, ich würde mich freuen sie zu hören--per note dann bitte.

Das nächste Kapitel sollte in den nächsten Wochen kommen, ich arbeite dran. Also Augen offen halten. ;P

Hi, I really love your writing style and the emotions it delivers (for me also much better than the original NJO-series). Keep it up and i can't wait to read more.

By the way, for me it's absolutely astounding that you can write the whole stories in English without losing a bit of expression. An awesome read ...
