Well seeing as I was there for the drawing of these I can confirm that that is just the normal Legacy but a female was playing as them so the artist just made a female Legacy version for that card :D same as how the Unity one is male because I was playing as them.
Thought you guys might be amused by some of the doodles I did that my gaming group found funny. http://i.imgur.com/1e7mEL8.jpg At some point I started giving Tempest a tail, but otherwise I have no regrets.
Not exactly canon to the series, but that looks very similar to the pictures of Tempest above...

Not canon? Wasn't Kit-Fisto in the prequel movies?
Also, yes I was talking about those guys at not Twileks.
For the record, Lynkfox was correct but typed it backwards - the highest order canon currently available is that male Twi-lek's have one Lekku, females two. Some other sources just say it varies individual by individual; all of this is an effort to explain why Bib Fortuna, who wasn't even originally meant to be the same race as the dancer in Jabba's palace, had one long Lekku. No, I did not have to look any of that up.
... erm, anyway, my group has always referred to the Maernians as Boy Asari. The head shape and color matches better*, plus they're absurdly long-lived races of hypocritical peace advocates with superpowers. Mass Effect would be an odd experience for Tempest - for his sake, let's hope that Bunker never introduces him to retro video games.

* Okay, fine, Twi-leks come in a wide range of colors, but the famous ones are rich blue, not slightly green. Asari also have a range, but it's narrowed and does skew a little green in many cases.

okay. So im not as much as a geek as i thought. i could have /sworn/ all my memories of twi'leks had it the other way;...... but now that im thinking about it, no... the one in Jabba's Palace with the green skin has 1... and the companion in SWTOR has 2... hm. i just must be crazy :P
and the only truely 'green' asari is the one that was absorbed by the Thorian. If you save her she mentions that is her medical condition aftereffects of being part of the Thorian. All others are ranges of blue id say, but it might also be my own color sense (its off)
and i never considered the Asari peace advocates. I mean. Commandos. :P

I'm not too good at drawing, but I've doodled some SotM art in my free time. I'm not sure about sharing it though, it's pretty awful.
It's supposed to eventually be me (as in REAL me) along with the characters I usually play. I only really ever play Unity and Fanatic (occasionally!). I'm not the best at digital art, and as you can see, faces are hard. So it remains unfinished.
One of the best techniques I've found for coloring in art like this is to have the black and white outlines on one layer in Photoshop, then make a second layer above it which has the layer type changed to "multiply" for the color. Color on a "multiply" layer won't show over black, so you can color in your art without worrying about the color going over and blocking out any of your black outlines.
Holy. Crap. Community win. That's amazing and hilarious.
What is this Community thing you guys are talking about?

Alex, your ramblings about the physics of Time and Relative Dimensions in Sentinels are magnificent. Would love to hear more, and I like the image of a ship with rings on the bottom. If I ever become an industry mogul, hit me up about a writer-and-artist job.
The person who did the alternate Haka and Absolute Zero is also awesome. I like the outline drawing of Wraith as well, though it's from a professional so I have higher expectations in the first place and it doesn't seem quite as impressive (perhaps unfair of me - but then, the AZ and Haka pictures are in color, so maybe I'm being even more unfair than that).

Mass effect is "retro"? It's a hell of a lot newer than anything I've played. My definition of a "retro" video game is Super Mario Brothers.

The quality on these is awesome, and the personalizations you've put on them are very interesting. I'm a little confused by AZ's, as he looks like a robot instead of a guy in a suit, but that's okay - it still looks very cool (and maybe he's from an alternate 'verse where Ryan lost his extremities...
While I love the quality and content of these, I do not like Wraith's costume. In fact, it actually annoys me - no offense intended, as it's my issue, not yours. One of the things I like about SotM is that the woman are actually wearing clothes. It drives me crazy how, in most comics, we generally have men fully clothed but woman are virtually naked, and this is another example of that.
Check out Grappling Hook for an example of what her outfit should look like. If it had been done like that, I'd be completely in love with this collection.

I hadn't actually looked closely enough at Wraith...and yeah...actually...I'm not a fan of the "all women are practically naked and have big tits" thing that gets thrown around a lot. Maia's costume has a lot more full-body coverage than that. Still, I do still like the style if not the content of that particular pic.
Not to mention, given how athletic she is, her... *ahem* assets are bound to be a bit smaller, as they ARE primarily fat-based.

The Absolute Zero is really fascinating, though! Like if Johann Kraus stole Atomic Robo's wardrobe.
That being said, I'm not one for The Wraith's new look in this art. It's all incredibly reinterpreted and still very true to the characters, but Bunker got an incredible armor upgrade. If anything, The Wraith's one piece swimsuit could've been upgraded to some high-quality body armor, or even some near-future power armor. I love the quality of the art and the design reinterpretations of the other geries enough that I'm willing to wait and see what the artist's reinterpretations of the other female characters are before passing too harsh of a judgement.

The Matriarch's Psychic damage is her forcing a gratuitous amount of Snapple facts about birds into a hero's brain.
Honestly, I love them all. Sure bathing suit wraith could do with a little more clothing especially since it seems to be raining but I think the personal interprtation of the characters is really cool. Way to go!
I wasn't planning to speak up because folks tend to not like negativity, but the overall discussion has been so one-sided that I really have to say I did not like any of these four very much. The one I come closest to liking is Wraith, for exactly the reason that others have disliked it; it's not entirely fitting with her characterization as far as we know, but it is really attractive. Bunker is also somewhat neat looking, but not really Bunker; these figures seem more like villain mooks to me. The absolute zero one looks vaguely cool, but why the holy living hell is he wearing a coat? The last thing he EVER wants to do is be warmer. And Legacy just looks disgusting to me; I'm a big fan of the square-jawed look, but as rendered here it's hideous to the point of being inhuman. I'm torn as to whether I want to see any more of these; the artist has obvious talent, but I tend not to agree with his stylistic choices, and certainly it would be more constructive for him to put his effort into original creations he could potentially sell.

I certainly wasn't being negative towards them. At the very least, I have a huge appreciation for the artist's skill, and I really do like some of the details, especially in Bunker and Absolute Zero. Just because they look different doesn't mean we have to dislike them. I'm totally open to the idea of "reimagined" characters. I'd love to see more from the artist, just less sexually exploitive. That's not really very good grounds to like one of them more than the others. Or at least, not a reason you want to like it. Or should.
Well I for one do like it for exactly that reason so there. :P

Art is art and can be liked or despised for things that are either deep or superficial. One isn't really more valid than the other. For the most part I like all the art. I even like Wraith's, but the criticisms against it are valid and understandable.
Good ideas are usually just bad ideas a stubborn person eventually fixed.
Some of the art on here is amazing :D Keep producing this stuff guys :)
It's Finest Legacy, Young Legacy wear a skirt.
Well seeing as I was there for the drawing of these I can confirm that that is just the normal Legacy but a female was playing as them so the artist just made a female Legacy version for that card :D same as how the Unity one is male because I was playing as them.
Screw it, I'm joining this thing too. (Bobby from the aforementioned art) Jeez some of the art on here really is good. Long live SotM!

Drew her last night. I got some the the mini expansions and am impatently waiting for the base expansion.

Yeah, I agree. Very, very nice.

Very nice work though. I really love the personalized touches you gave to all the characters.

That Bunker art though... Wow. Blown away.
