I'd like to have my figure standing up, back faced, his helmet in the right hand, rifle in the left hand and the back of Carrick's head. The link provided has Carrick holding a Mando helmet in one of his hands, and wearing Mandalorian armor. The only things the picture lacks for my idea is that he's crouching down, he doesn't have a rifle, and he's facing us. Hopefuly this will be do-able. If not I'd be more than happy to look up some more pictures for a better sense of what I'm thinking.

I'd also like to have Mando'ade Kimes written across the banner.
Thank you dearly to whoever makes this.

Alright, I'll give it a shot, but I doubt I can make anything good. If you can find me better pictures to use that'd be best. What I need is a picture of a guy standing up straight with his back facing, as you describe. I also need a picture of a Mando helmet and the rifle in the right perspective. Help me help you :)
I'll look for some pictures aswell, but could you give me this Carrick character's full name?

Ok, the link below is of a mandalorian in blue armor, and his helmet, so that solves those problems. The rifle link is posted above.

Zayne Carrick is from the KotOR graphic novel series. Below is a link of his head, and I'm mostly concerned w/ his hair.

If I am making this way too complicated let me know and I can try to reduce it down so that it can be created.

Here's what I could make. It's not perfect, and you can clearly see the different styles of images there, especially the bad quality on the sniper. But without good pictures I can't do more without drawing myself, which I can't. I will start on the signature later today when I come home from work. Could you share any more information on Kimes though? Full name? Is there anything about his personality or backstory which I could convey down to the signature? Enjoy ;)

If you don't mind my saying Valen, you could try using filters on whichever layer has the armor on it, and maybe even the rifle. I suggest cutout, poster edges or even smudge stick. I've been able to get some pretty good results in turning high quality renders into something that looks like it came out of a comic book just by toying with the sliders.

darim, if you can get the basic layout correct, I may be able to draw Marko his signature. Is it alright if it is drawn?

That's no problem at all. If it's easier to draw then go for it, and just follow the steps up above. Also I'd llike to have the Mandalorian armor be red, rather than blue, which is the armor color on the link.

Jiriad, as I said a drawing would be fine, if not better. Just get a start on it whenever you can with my requests posted above and we'll see what happens. Once again, thanks for trying to take a stab at it. And Valen, thanks for your attempt, I still like your idea and we migh be able to work with it with a few slight changes.

I have previously drawn a mandalorian. I will scan it onto my computer so you can see what it looks like. If you do not like my drawing style, then simply tell me. That said, how do I scan pictures onto the PC?:p

Ok, here's what you do:
1) Go to Control Panel
2) Click on Scanners and Cameras
3) Click on your printer and the computer will begin to read the picture (NOTE: make sure the picture is on the printer, as if you were making a copy.)
4) It'll then ask you how to scan the picture on your computer
5) I'd imagine once it's scaned on your desktop you could just copy and paste the picture on this forum.
Hopeful that should work. If not, then I have no idea what to do. Hopefuly this'll work.

Are you able to post the picture or are you still having trouble with your scanner?
