Greetings everyone!
If you were at today's meeting, you've seent his already. For those of you who weren't, you are getting your treat late -- a preview of the new Dark Jedi Robes!
These are currently in production by Graphics Master Cyris. He's been sketching the different concepts and getting them ready for use. This is the only one finished as of now. It is the robes for Equite jedi.
I think Cyris has done a fantastic job and can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

that looks awesome! way to go cyris!!!
Ya definately nice work. Glad we're not going the "cartoony" route that the EH took :P
nice job on the robes good job but I have some questions.
1) Will the lower class jedi get hooded robes? if so then will there be a face or just dark like the ones now.
2)Can we have our lightsabers hanging down on our belts.
3)are there order robes like certain designs for Obelisk Krath and sith?
I wasn't at the meeting (Obvously) so I have no clue about the robes.
1) Yes they will have hoods, but the faces will be dark like on this one
2)Unfortunatly not at the start, and I cannot promise it ever happening.
3)As of right now, there will not be different styles per order (simply imagine that each of these robes take me about 8+ hours to design, simply to get proportions, colors, gradients, etc. perfect) I'm hoping in due time to make the obelisks a little more armored (not a big bad full plate though) and the krath more "religious". This I cannot promise either and should not be expected for some time.
Very nice looking Cyris, can't wait to see the Elder's Robes ;-)
Cyris: For different orders perhaps you could change the colour of the light around the robes. But peronally I dont really see the need to have seperate images for each order.
Yes, the "aura" around the robes will be of the order color of the member :)
Simply Awesome...good job, and I cant wait to see the ones for the Krath order.
Will they differ from higher rankings to lower rankings?
my comment for the orders, was off a bit, I meant the blue hue around the robe will that chamge for the orders..Sith= red hue, etc.....
As it would look a bit silly for a Krath to have a blue outter glow around a robe, when it should be purple.
But the saber hanging down now, Im guessing that will be gone for the members under DJK and on there waist for DJK and above?
I don't really like that shoulder pad thing going on there. Other than that I await the final product.
Great balls of thunder, Batman!
Wow... I didn't know Cyris had started the robes already. That is really very, very good. I'm most pleased. I especially like that its extremely Jedi/Sith like, very KOTOR Dark Jedi robe like actually, and not at all religion monk or sci-fi warrior esque, or any of the other wierd artsy styles the DB has pushed too much the past few years. Its refereshing to see the DB going back to its roots for a change.
I take it at the start you're not worrying about different robes by rank but just class? I'm not particuarly fussed myself. I always did feel different robes for every single rank 1. made classes pointless, as it didn't really serve any practical necessity (eg. as an elder I'd kick the youngsters around just as much, PRT, GRD, DJK, KAP, whatever), and 2. would simply take you a rediculous amount of time to do.
Either way... they look extremely nice. I certainly can't wait to witness the final product line.
That looks great! cant wait to see the final product, but i kinda agree with Tel about the shoulder pads
This is the final product for the Equite robes.
Journeymen ceremonial robes will be white monk-like robes (with hood and such)
The Elder robes are inspired from the robes Palpatine wears when he fights Mace Windu in Star Wars Episode III, though it includes a hood.
Big chances are that Grand Master robes will be unique per GM.
Here is some of the concept sketches for the Elder and Journeymen robes

sweet
pwnage does not begin to describe these... Shoulder pads might seem a bit out of place now that Telona mentions it. but really, these are ub3r s3xy. I definitely like how we're giving a new use to the rank classes- as Xanos said, they are mostly uses now except for maybe fictional purposes.
The shoulder pads aren't big metal ones, their are small leather ones that are part of the cape, similar to a army commander uniform's shoulder pads back in say... the American civil war
Hmm... Elder robes look ok. The Journeymen ones look nice too, though I'm not so sure I like the idea of them being white, I've never understood why any of our Journeymen robes are white, I'd much prefer a shade of grey, whites too... impractical.
I'd prefer the reverse situation if anything, where a GM thinks they're so angelically pure that they wear pure white. For Journeymen it just seems a bit too un-Dark Jedi-like, for a club full of predominantly Journeymen ranked Dark Jedi.
The Journeymen's robes are just too sweet.....Cyris if you drew that, Major props..(BTW those would make awesome Krath robes)
Very cool :)
I know you've got a lot of work there already, but maybe I could add something to your list ... it would be nice if at some time we could have more feminine versions too, for people who have 'female' on their character sheets?
And no, I don't mean a porn version :PP Just a smaller waist, different hip:shoulder ratio?
Just an idea. Anyway, very nice :D
I agree with the grey journeymen robe idea.
