The Jakar are large, bovine/canine aliens for Star Frontiers that first appeared on a website called the Hound. They are also listed as one of the playable races on Ragnarr's Ships & Bots. I have been using them in my own Star Frontiers game for a couple years now. We have discussed them here on this site a few times (do a search for Jakar, and you'll turn up several mentions of them).<br /><br />The art for the Jakar is taken from a TMNT book, but they were rewritten to be an alien species.<br /><br />Here is the original picture:<br /><br /><img src="/files/u13546/Jakar.gif" alt="Hound Jakar" title="Jakar" height="344" width="255" /><br /><br /><br />This is a picture by Jedion:<br /><img src="/files/u13546/Jakar001A.png" alt="Jedion Jakar" title="Jakar2" height="768" width="520" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I would like to put them in an issue of the Star Frontiersman or Frontier Explorer, to give them more exposure. I think the original art would cause some copyright issues, despite it being a widely circulated picture on the web. I like Jedion's, so maybe we can use that. Would anyone else like to contribute art as well, or just provide some brainstorming ideas? If you have any questions, refer to Ragnarr's site or the original description at The Hound, or look at the discussion here under "Giving the Jakar More Depth".
