The Star Wars™: The Old Republic™ community continues to shine with new stunning fan art and more community activities.
Fan Art
Community member VasperBaxian created these four inspirational concepts depicting some of the famous Star Wars™ environments to share. Vasper said that he used Google SketchUp for quick environmental modeling, Maya for statues and character line render, and Photoshop to finish painting the piece.
For more samples of Vasper’s work, check out his deviantArt gallery.
Fan Site
Community member Lulouch has created a place for fellow The Old Republic fans to come together and talk in a real-time internet chat room about the game and pretty much anything Star Wars related. For more information on how to connect and chat with fellow community members, view The Old Republic Community IRC Channel thread.

Looks like all the practice has paid off. Nice work! |
|
|
... Wow! :) |
|
|
O.M.G. that's all I can say. I wish I would be this good. Great job by the way! Keep it up! |

Some one made a comment question about Mandaloreans how they would figure in. if i remember the story line right its three centuries or so after The events of Kotor II so their still farely scattered. the armor concept of BOBA FETT wasn't like what we saw in KOTOR I & II it evolved so if they do factor in the armor may or may not look like what it did in the RPG's versus what we all know and love about modern Mandalorean armor. so until the race updates or armor updates are shown so we know what will be in the initial release its all what about this or that's cool. i'm saving my money for a quad core triple PCIe main board with four gigs of ram so i can play this with minimal pc side lag. the concepts are awesome the visuals spectacular. I've Played EQ-EQ2 Wow and SWG Silk Road and a few other MMO's this one looks like it could hold me for the sixty two months I've played SWG. heres hoping the force is with BIOWARE and not SOE.

I love the art these guys from bioware made keep it up,it meek me feel even more exited about the game. |
|
|
I cant wait till this comes out, I will leave WOW for this, great guys. :) |
I cannot wait for this to come out. Everything looks so awesome!!!! |
|
|
freaking awsome ! |
|
|
The art that has been presented for this game so far has been awesome. I'm looking forward to similar in-game settings :) |
|
|
Sweet justice. |
|

All that I have seen makes me believe that this is going to ba an MMO to overshadow all others. Since it is in the KOTOR era, it is the one I will probably spend years on when I start playing. Do not mess with me when I have played for five years (evil laugh). But seriously, I do hope they will take whatever time is needed to fine tune all the plotlines, graphics, and features (and wait to release it until I have a pc capable of playing. I desire to be present every step of the way.) |
|
|
very nice! |
|
|
I applaud your talents and would suggest that Bioware toss you a few credits and stea... I mean, implement them into their game ^_^ |
|
|
I should just point out that the thumbnails are in the wrong order. The courtyard takes you to the battle and vice versa. Great images though. Inspired me to do some. |
|
|
Actually I just realised they're all out of sync. |
|
|
Awesome stuff. |
|
|
roll on febuary when they release infomation everyweek (in bulk) not stalling by releasing 'fan friday', the pictures are awesomely but . . . |
|
|
Awesome Art Vaspin... Although, from reading some of the posts I think people believe this has something to do with the game lol :) (which cant be a bad thing for you) Chill out on the 2 page brown nose posts regarding release dates, dude was just stating his opinion, and I'm sure Bioware are big enough to look after themselves, seemed like you were jonesin for moderator or beta lol, anyway SWEET ART!! |
|
|
I didn't realize how good Sketchup was mate, I always did stuff with just PS and terragen, thanks for getting me on to that :) |
|
|
I mean "know" btw :D |
|
|
Thanks :) Nah I'm not brown nosin at all. I have no doubt I will work in the industry weather its for Bioware or anyone else. Just thought I would through some info out there so some people would no there is more to making a game then clicking a few buttons. |
|
|
Bioware, please hire this man. He's amazing. Great update, thanks for this; and good release strategy: Highlight community pieces when there's not quite enough info to release on real content. |
|
|
Absolutely amazing. With bioware & Lucas Arts behind this game you can rest assured that it will bring a whole to level of enjoyment to the Star Wars saga. |
|
|
Monthly newsletters usually have fan-art/submission sections. It's not surprising SWTOR weekly updates would include that. It is surprising with the quality of fan-artist they found - very nice. |
|
|
this nice, but comon... let's hear about the game. |
|
|
Truly fantastic i must say |
|
|
how much longer till the next video documentary, i want to find out more about the customization. I want to look like the witch king from lord of the rings with a lightsaber. |
|
|
awesome art |
|
|
These really do look like Concept art! :O fantastic stuff |
|
|
Nice fan art. I have been watching since the site came out. But just signed up today. I hate to wait LOL. And then watching and waiting it murder. Along with posting while watching and waiting. Man.... but anyway I had to comment on all the fan art. It is wonderful. Guess I will be setting up my account fully now. I am not good at graphics so if someone can help me that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
|
|
Wow those are amazing fan arts. I would think you were a concept artist for bioware or something. |
|
|
I wish :D |
|
|
I'm ready for some screen shots and maybe even some live Screen Play!!! But no matter what I AM STOKED!!!! Work hard you techs and get rewarded!! |
|
|
Nice fanart. Please, no more fan Fridays. We can see this stuff in the forums at any time so I'd rather not have a SWTOR update taken up by random pictures that aren't part of any aspect of the game. I'd rather a lone render of a shoe than another fan Friday. |
|
|
Why is BioWare making the outfits look more futuristic than in the movies, which take place thousands of years later? |
|
|
The outfits arent more advanced really than they are in the movies, just styled differently |
is this going to be for the xbox 360 |
|
|
Anyone know if the mandalorians figure into the game at all? |
|
|
Is there any word yet on when this game is goin to come out ??????? I am feelin like this is goin to be like kotor 3 build us up then let us down again by one side not seein what the other side is ..... i hope they are not just blowin smoke up where it dont belong again... you would figure that they are makin it they could give us a one or two month window or round about date of release come on ... they do have a team of people workin on this right not just 3 or for people they have two different companies workin on it ..... you give me 50 or 60 people i could get alot done in a month ..... you give 50 or 60 people i could get an bachlors dagree in 7 to 8 monthes ..... just give us a releas date already people !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Big applause here to VasperBaxian for his wise words! Thanks for pointing out some nuts and bolts that assemble everything together. And I am sure, you are even just scratching the surface. I'd go even further: If LA and BioWare would come up by the end of this year offering us a say in the action and presenting two options: one that would bring internal development to an end, resulting in a reasonable priced game - and a second, that would extend the development phase by 20 more months, leading to a comparatively overpriced game and fees - |
|
|
*sigh* /facepalm...really manny? you should be banned from ever playing this game. hold on, i just started making a new mmo with 50 other people...should only take about 3 hours...wanna play it? |
|
|
On that note, i think everyone here knows it's going to be a while before this game comes out but it would be nice if the producures could give us some amount of time before we get something playable: even if it's in something as vague as years |
|
|
be patient dude.. a rushed mmo is doomed to fail.. let them take as long as they have to to make a truly great game which it has the potential for |
|
|
I also think the member eclipsehh should be mentioned. He has not only contributed 3D Star Wars-like characters, but he's also made 3D characters for members of this community! |
|

Amazing folks, simply amazing. Once again my love of the SW universe and all that is being done by Bioware to ensure an incredible experience is only boosted by the Fan community. The Art work and other submissions are worthy of a great deal of praise and admiration, and I look forward to future submissions and Fan Friday projects. This Community thus far is most deserving of a firm pat the back, as well as BW for doing everything they can to continue moving things along. |
