Community Creations

Fan Art

While developing characters and working out mechanical designs for a comic series, community member Tanq created a scrapbook thread for ideas he’s working on. Visit Tanq’s Concept Scrapbook thread for a sneak preview of two panels from the first issue, as well as some character concepts, and other pieces of Star Wars™ art. We’re looking forward to seeing the finished comic!

Check out Darth Rasp 3D animation, a vibrant four minute video featuring a cloaked Sith infiltrating a Republic base. All models, textures, animations, and rigging were done by community member Vitellius. You can see screenshots of the video in the thread 3D animated Sith. Incredible work!

 

Ash, also known as Oxyjin in the community, created a painting of what he hopes his character will resemble. Check it out in the Oxy's Cantina thread. It was created using a Wacom tablet and Photoshop CS4, and took roughly 7 hours to complete. Thanks for posting!

 

Developer Corner

We worked with The Old Republic developers to get you a first-hand look at game content that is currently in production.

The Cathar are among the many species you may come across in your travels through the galaxy. They are known for being strong, effective fighters, and are considered unique for their feline features and personality attributes.

Looks alright but I was hoping for something less Star Wars galaxies & tunnel shooter and more about hot spot fast paced 3d combat like X-wing Alliance as in more story about who your shooting at and why rather than oh ***** a battle.
