Brief Conference Bios

Description

hm looks like some of the shadows don't match up with the outlines but.. meh. I just want to be done at this point. And if anyone knows how to put accents on letters in Photoshop, I'd appreciate that info.

Anyway, these are the new designs for the main Galactic Conference guys (old ones can be found here [link] for the sake of comparison), as well as a little background on each one.

I also screwed around with this galaxy texture I whipped up (this thing here [link] will show you how), which was most enjoyable in itself.


Extra fun facts:
:bulletblue: That's right, fellas. LaRosa dyes. Let's face it, ruling a planet puts an intense amount of stress on a person. Red is her natural color, though.

:bulletblue: Varic and Kyrakè's fathers were friends back in the day, and so the two of them have been close since they were pups. She's the only planet leader Varic openly addresses by her first name (sometimes "Kyra" for short, as a term of endearment), and he's the only one she allows to do so. Kyrakè actually used to have a huge crush on Varic, but knows better now, of course.

:bulletblue: Every year, the Conference is held on a different planet, and the current year in the story heralds Alth's turn to host it. This makes him incredibly nervous and scatterbrained, and the controversy around his kids doesn't help matters. :/

:bulletblue: Miiv's husband Styxa was assassinated a year ago, missing the birth of their sons. Everyone on this list was present at his funeral (except LaRosa, who had not yet been introduced into their circle). They all wanted to support Miiv and comfort her any way they could, but deep down, they weren't terribly fond of Styxa himself. In fact, it was argued that he was a stiff even as he lived.

:bulletblue: Yep, the king's a humongous playboy. Must be that "boyish charm" that drives 'em wild. He has a policy against shacking up with other planet leaders, though that doesn't stop him from a little flirting now and then. He's also got a touch of homophobia; while he enjoys the company of the other male leaders, he keeps- ahem- a very close eye on them. A little rough around the edges, but he's still basically a good guy.

:bulletblue: When LaRosa and Zuraal meet, both instantly sense a commonality between them. Many of the other Conference members were brought up in wealthy families and sheltered environments, while these two were born within the proletariat and thrust into interplanetary conflict without warning. Whenever LaRosa wants to discuss issues she feels the others wouldn't understand, she takes them to Zuraal, and vice versa. :)

All these people (c) me.

Quite a colorful cast of characters. The concept reminds me somewhat of a little known CGI cartoon from the late 90s called "War Planets: Shadow Raiders".
