User blog:Varkanax39/Xaterex Art Contest- Valkyria and Saren

Exactly what it says on the tin. Readers of the XMS (and other wiki people). This is your chance to draw the canon representations of two very popular XMS characters: Valkyria, female Ix warrior, and Saren Naghara, the treacherous Glatorian commander.

Overall rules:
 * Can be colored or black and white. I don't mind either way.
 * You may enter one or both contests.
 * No cheating, all common sense rules apply.
 * Contest ends when I deem that I have enough entries.

Valkyria
Rules:
 * Here's a description, taken from TSC, describing Valkyria's appearance to guide you in your drawing: She was young, tall and slender, and she wore mottled green and brown camouflage that somehow blended even better with the darkness then a black cloak. She carried a long, silver knife in one hand, and another was sheathed on her thigh. Her bow and quiver were slung over one shoulder, and she would have been quite beautiful were it not for the cold, slightly arrogant look in her blue-green eyes. 
 * You can make the drawing as humanlike as you want to (provided it's not a totally human drawing), however, avoid using an excess of biomechanicals. The Ix are organic beings, like Glatorian, and at times wear armor. I imagine Valkyria would wear camouflage army fatigues, or something like that, not heavy war armor or anything really bulky.
 * Follow the description closely. (Though feel free to make minor changes). Entries that follow the description closely will takely win. (Though if you're doing a black and white sketch then of course disregard the colors).
 * No Kanohi. (She's not a Toa). Helmets, I suppose, are allowed, but not necessary by any means for a sketch.

Saren
The winning entry will be canonized by me, so get drawing!
 * Saren is a grey-armored Glatorian with black eyes. Otherwise you're free to customize him as much as you'd like. His helmet, weapons, etc,.. are all up to you.
 * Saren is probably more organic than a Toa, but less so than an Ix.
 * Saren probably would carry some type of sword or blaster, but the ultimate choice of weapons are all up to you.
