Community Creations

Share your talents with us on the community forum, and if it’s especially impressive we may feature your work in the Community Creations section of a future Fan Friday.

Fan Art

Take a look at these awesome Chibis made by Wraloa Craubo, from the community. Wraloa created a thread titled Wraloa's Chibi Emporium and Warehouse, where members of the forums can post a description of their character to have it created as a Chibi. Fantastic work!

Community member Kiuas has enthusiastically been creating character portraits for people that submit their character details via the forum thread Now Taking Requests. The unique style of these illustrations is outstanding!

Check out some of Kromnz latest creations! This beautiful piece of art that can be seen in the forum thread “a Jedi reading” sketch. He drew several Jedi poses before finding one he liked and then created it using Photoshop in about three to four hours. The support from the forums motivated Kromnz to create a second Star Wars themed illustration titled “Three Deadly Siths”. Simply beautiful!

Fan Video

Community member Tukor created a remix video using video footage, concept art, and images from The Old Republic website. Visit the thread My SWTOR Remix on the community forums or check out the video on YouTube. Great job!

Roleplay

In the art of storytelling, several community members got together in the roleplaying thread The Battle of Ord Mantell. Stretching through the month of July, they put a large amount of time and dedication into this thread. If you haven’t visited the roleplaying forums yet, you should definitely check it out!
