Jade in tiger form
Added 2017-07-26 01:03:25 +0000 UTC
Hey everyone,
For the second piece of commissioned art, I asked an artist called Jademere to paint a picture of Jade in her tiger form. She was the artist who did the original picture that inspired me to create John's loyal Nymph, so it seemed fitting that I ask her to do the commission.
I think she did a really nice job, so I hope you like it!

N.B. I spotted the shape of a lion's head in the nebula behind her. I didn't spot that right away, and didn't ask for it, but it's an uncanny coincidence the artist added it in!
I made an animated version of that Jade tiger image, using Plotaverse. I’d post it here if Patreon allowed videos, but since it doesn’t I put it at: <a href="https://instagram.com/p/BoNENxlhswf/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://instagram.com/p/BoNENxlhswf/</a> It’s not high resolution, and if you prefer I’ll take it down.

I just had a thought. For one of Jade's portraits, how about doing a variation of "The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli? It can be called "The Birth of Jade" and be the scene where John brings her back to life. That is considered her birthday by the crew, so it fits.

My next vote is for the graphic artist to do renderings of all of the ships.
Invictus
Battle Cruiser – Yet to be designed
Valkyrie
Raptor
And the Boys

Well, the story itself would be fun for the kids....but yeah, kind of a Huck Finn type of approach where adults understand but kids don't.

Lol im not sure a pg13 movie would do it justice lol

It took me a little while to find the lion's head...but yeah, cool!

$2100 achieved, just for Wookey
2017-07-28 22:12:18 +0000 UTC
BTW Tefler, can you please update your goals. $1500/ch is so last year.
Wookey

$2100/ch coming up next....

one thing though, the floor, its texture doesn't fit, unless that is simply a stile choice. though every time i go past i stop to look, long. *stripes, dark, sparkles, dark, space, eyes, sparkles, stripes, jade...*
wait is it weird that this image makes me feel warm? and cool? and calm? and happy? ...?...

for some reason my imagination to do with jade in tiger-form slips so thanks for this concrete image. and yes it is better than mine, much better.

The scale can be solved later with a group hero scene including the tiger.
2017-07-26 12:44:43 +0000 UTC
Very nice - just as I imagined her

Very nicely done. I through the image in the nebulae was a reflection on the crystal of her.
2017-07-26 10:02:58 +0000 UTC
I sent a picture of Thor with Mjolnir to show what I had in mind. :-)

That artist is very good at drawing big cats. I think it's a pet subject of hers.
Tefler
2017-07-26 07:24:38 +0000 UTC
Same colour scheme, just a lot more teeth! :-) (and a lot bigger!)
Tefler
2017-07-26 07:23:59 +0000 UTC
Thank you, it looks exactly how I imagined it!
Tefler
2017-07-26 07:23:13 +0000 UTC
I'm intrigued to know what she'd look like in humanoid form. I wanted the tiger one done first so that the colours would be right.
Tefler
2017-07-26 07:22:19 +0000 UTC
Yeah she stuck to the brief perfectly!
Tefler
2017-07-26 07:21:23 +0000 UTC
I asked the artist to use the same kind of colour scheme she used in the piece that inspired me in the first place. :-)
Tefler
2017-07-26 07:20:38 +0000 UTC
Yeah, I thought so too! :-)
Tefler
2017-07-26 07:11:47 +0000 UTC
I've thought about giving her Battlecat-like armour, but the problem is that it restricts her from further shifting. I'm sure a solution will present itself eventually. :-)
Tefler
2017-07-26 06:43:59 +0000 UTC
Great! I was really pleased with how it came out.
Tefler
2017-07-26 06:41:10 +0000 UTC
Thanks Wookey, I'm glad you liked it. I think the she-hulk requests came after I'd commissioned this piece, but I'll definitely get a picture of her in humanoid form. :-) (Probably the beach shot I mentioned before)
Tefler

This was the sample pic I sent to the artist for the eyes:

On the picture itself, they're a little harder to make out because of the light reflection on the eyeball and the shadowing from the eyebrow (both very nicely done I thought!)
Yes, she keeps her vertical pupils in cat form.
Tefler

I'd like to do another with her getting all bitey, but that means an appropriate badguy for her to chomp on. Perhaps a Drakkar?
Tefler
2017-07-26 06:31:45 +0000 UTC
I believe Tiger's have round pupils and looks like artwork does also. Does Jade retain her vertical pupils in cat form?

I personally would have chosen a different colour for the nebulae to create more contrast, but the star field looks very nice and I didn't want to ask for changes in case it messed it up. :-)
Tefler
2017-07-26 06:11:07 +0000 UTC
Sweet, although I find some impact is reduced with the dark on dark, but hey thats just me
2017-07-26 06:00:49 +0000 UTC
I agree with Ben, new screensaver indeed. Well done.
2017-07-26 03:23:57 +0000 UTC
I'd say those deck plates are no more than two square feet; one meter seems too long. Of course, that's just me guesstimating based solely off a visual.

Very nice. It would be cool if Dana made Jade her own paragon armor in tiger form leaving her claws and lower jaw exposed. Jade steps in the rack and click click click. Of course that only works if she changes form on the ship with advanced notice.
Mark P
2017-07-26 02:37:27 +0000 UTC
yup just how I imagined her very good
2017-07-26 02:37:04 +0000 UTC
I saw that too.. She seems to be stalk a foe and getting charged to inflict paralysis.
Benj
2017-07-26 02:36:01 +0000 UTC
So, have again ignored my perennial request for Jade as She-Hulk. LOL.
Nicely done though.
Wookey
2017-07-26 02:23:48 +0000 UTC
Very cool, but what's the scale here? Unless word of god says otherwise, I'm assuming that those deck plates are 1 meter square. Works out to be about the size I've been imagining for Tiger Jade.
2017-07-26 01:58:44 +0000 UTC
great rendition of jade. pretty much how I imagined her. Another like that but with her toothy grin would be cool

Wow. Now I'm trying to picture her T-Rex...

Lightning claws. Cute Kitty!
2017-07-26 01:15:49 +0000 UTC
Damn, she is pretty. Only way to top that is have her do The Birth of Venus, or any one of a number of James Bond girls walking out of the ocean.

That's a very well done picture, also helps imagine the colors better.
