Hello friends! I thought I’d share some more of my drawings in a separate post instead of waiting until next month’s catch-up post. I just have so many! And there will be more next month, too, lol (fair warning!). So here goes:
I’ll post again when I have another handful of drawings; I seem to be doing one every couple of days. I’m starting a drawing class this Thursday (general drawing, not portraits specifically, should be fun) so we’ll see. Hope you enjoyed this post!
In anticipation of Season Three of The Bad Batch premiering February 21st, I thought I’d get us hyped up with a few BB posts leading up to it. (All right, I’m already hyped up, lol). A good fan art post is always fun.
Here’s a Tech piece that’s new to me. I don’t think his goggles ever glow like that, but it’s cool!
Howzer of the fabulous hair.
I think this one of Crosshair is really interesting. Who does Crosshair see when he looks in the mirror? Looks like he shot the mirror, so maybe that’s your answer, lol.
I like this one of Fennec Shand; the coloring matches a part of her helmet.
Another imagining of grown-up Omega.
This black and white of Hunter is intense.
What do you think of these images? Who do you hope to see in Season 3? Let me know in the comments and we’ll talk about it!
So….remember about a month ago I said I was working on a site where I could put some of my fan fiction and original fiction? Well, I’ve had some technical difficulties with the site (ugh, I hate starting a new blog; it’s like I totally forgot how I managed to create this one, lol).
But fear not, I posted the fan fiction stories on Archive of Our Own, so you can still read them if you want to. It’s about the Bad Batch, who as you probably know, I absolutely adore.
Here’s some info and caveats: it takes place after Season 3 on Pabu. Obviously S3 hasn’t happened yet, but I’ve made some assumptions and vaguely filled in some blanks (emphasis on vaguely, lol). Basically, it’s based on my intense wish that all the Batch survive (even Tech) whatever horrors await on Tantiss and go to Pabu to live out their lives. But I was curious as to what that would look like. What would they do? What issues/baggage do they still have and must deal with? What do they do with their lives after they put being soldiers behind them?
That’s the premise. If you’re looking for action-packed Star Warsy stuff, this ain’t it, lol. It’s more character-driven, relationship/love stuff, with the typical fan-fictiony “adult themes”; if that makes you gag, this probably isn’t for you, lol. But despite the subject matter, I do hope it’s well-written and that I’ve done these characters justice.
Anyway I’ll stop the nervous babbling and give you the link: https://archiveofourown.org/users/swjedilover
And here’s some great fan art that has inspired my stories:
I had a ton of fun imagining these characters in various stages of their lives on Pabu. I can’t wait for Season 3, which will almost certainly contradict everything I’ve written, lol. Let’s just say this is my alternate-universe head canon for the Batch.
It’s been a while since I poked around for Star Wars fan art, so I thought a few pieces inspired by the Ahsoka series was in order.
This one showing the first duel between Shin and Sabine is colorful and vibrant, giving off the energy of the fight. Fabulous.
I love how this one shows the intense ferocity of Shin. She’s absolutely a beautiful woman, but I like how this one showcases her intimidating skill and not her looks. Not that there’s anything wrong with being beautiful, lol.
When I first saw howlers on the show, they looked pretty scary. But the one Sabine ends up riding turns out to be a very good boi, lol. Apparently, they’re very loyal, as this one refuses to leave Sabine even after she scolds him. She was clearly projecting her feelings toward Ahsoka onto the animal (after it “abandoned” her), but they got on well after that.
I always need to include Uzuri Art pieces in these posts, because she’s just so good. This one of young Ahsoka reminds us again of just how young she was during the Clone Wars; it really hit hard during the live-action show, more so than the animated series.
Here’s another Uzuri Art piece of Baylan Skoll, easily my favorite new character. She imagined him as a general during the Clone Wars.
I love the blues and purples of this one of Ahsoka. There’s an aura of the mystical around Ahsoka, more so than any other Jedi. Some have suggested that she will replace the Daughter; I’m not sure I’m on board with that idea, but we’ll see.
I love fan art, and how Star Wars inspires artists and sparks their imaginations. What do you think of these images? Let me know in the comments and we’ll talk about it!
I’m a little late with this, as the 40th anniversary of the release of The Return of the Jedi was last week on May 25th, but I thought I’d celebrate that iconic film with some fan art. Enjoy!
I love this art nouveau style poster for the film.
Leia releases Han from carbonite in Jabba’s palace.
Luke constructing his green lightsaber on Tatooine before rescuing Han from Jabba.
A great scene of Luke on Endor with Rex, er, I mean Nik Sant, lol.
A charming portrait of Leia with Wicket on Endor.
Han on Endor with stormtroopers and an AT-ST.
Luke holding his dying father.
What do you think of these images? What’s your favorite part of Return of the Jedi? Let me know in the comments and we’ll talk about it!
In honor of our fallen hero, I thought I’d post some great fan art of Tech. Enjoy.
This is a great one of Tech in his distinctive armor and with his double blasters.
This is a metal plate that can be bought on Displate. There are tons of these of other characters’ helmets, too, very cool.
Just thought this was adorable. The artist’s name is on the piece, I think it’s Gatia 2002?
Very awesome helmet shot of Tech with the amazing goggles.
No fan art compilation would be complete without Jake Bartok. This is his medieval Tech. I can totally see him with his bunch of scrolls rather than a datapad, lol.
Just thought this was cute, mostly because of his supply of Crosshair’s toothpicks and Hunter’s bandanas.
Couldn’t leave without the classic goggle-adjust.
What do you think of these? How are you doing with your grief? Lol. Check in with me in the comments and we’ll talk about it!
Hello friends! I’ve been busy lately taking care of my 87-year-old dad who fell a few weeks ago and was in the hospital for a bit and is now in rehab. As I often do when I want a quick, fun post, I thought I’d put together another fan art showcase, this time from the High Republic. Enjoy!
This one is from one of my favorite artists, Jake Bartok. Here he’s brought to life characters from the latest adult High Republic novel, Convergence. On the top is Jedi Knight Gella Nattai, and to the left is Axel Greylark. On the bottom is Phan-tu Zenn from Eiram, and next to him is Xiri from E’ronoh. Phase 2, Wave 1.
Here’s some concept art of Jedi Knight Silandra Shoh, from the middle grade novel Quest for the Hidden City, which I’m reading right now. She’s unique in that in addition to a lightsaber, she carries a Force shield, which is pretty cool. Phase 2, Wave 1.
Here’s one of Bell Zettifar and Ember, because I love them. Phase 1.
At first I thought this was Ty Yorrick, the former Jedi who is now a “monster hunter.” But Ty has a purple lightsaber. So I believe it is Indeera Stokes, Bell’s new Master. Both women are Tholothians. Phase 1.
Elzar Mann and Avar Kriss embrace after the events of The Fallen Star, in which Starlight Beacon, helmed by their best friend, Stellan Gios, falls into the sea on Barazza and is destroyed. Phase 1, Wave 3.
Have you read any High Republic books? Do you have a favorite character? Let me know in the comments and we’ll talk about it!
I just finished my rewatch of Obi-Wan Kenobi, and I’m still in that frame of mind, so I thought I’d do another Obi-Wan fan art post. I’ve done a few of him in the past, but there’s always room for more, lol.
This is a pivotal moment for Obi-Wan in the series. He’s just finished fighting Vader, apologized to Anakin, realized how far gone he is, and let him go–not just physically (again refusing to kill him) but emotionally as well, which was a major part of his story arc.
I’ve seen a lot of fan art of Obi-Wan in exile on Tatooine in which he is in despair, lonely, defeated. The series shows us that may have been true for the first ten years of his exile, but after the events of the show he is at least at peace, and simply waiting for Luke to grow up and fulfill his destiny (and keeping an eye on him, of course). This one is in the style of early Obi-Wan in exile, perhaps contemplating his mistakes or lost in memories.
This one is another contemplative Obi-Wan in exile on Tatooine, but it’s not as despairing. There’s something mystical about it, perhaps showing his meditative calm, the Jedi Zen he found in the desert that led to the wise old man we see in A New Hope.
And of course, Uzuri Art has some wonderful images of Obi-Wan from the show. I love this scene of him with Leia after he rescues her from the Fortress Inquisitorious. When she takes his hand, something is reborn in him in that moment: the ability to let someone else into his heart; and a determination to protect Anakin’s legacy.
What do you think of these images? I have a few other posts of Obi-Wan fan art here and here and here. Check them out!
I didn’t have a subject planned for my Wednesday post, so I had to throw together something quick but fun, which usually turns out to be fan art. I was going to focus on Obi-Wan considering the latest series, but found some really neat Anakin/Vader stuff instead, which still applies. Enjoy!
I like this portrait of Anakin because it’s fuzzy and vague, kind of muddled, like Anakin’s mindset just before he turns to the dark side. He’s a hot mess, lol.
I like to include fan art that’s different, something I’ve never seen before, but something that speaks to me in some way, too. This one of Anakin looking at a hologram of Padme is kind of strange, but unique. She’s looking at him with compassion and love, despite the wreck he seems to be here.
This one shows another link to Padme, as a helmetless Vader looks at the necklace he made for her when he was a boy. I’m not sure how he got hold of it, since it was buried with Padme on Naboo, but it’s still an emotional scene.
I just thought this one looked really cool. There’s also the fact that Vader is a shattered man, and this image projects that.
And you can’t have a Vader fan art collection without Vader having tea in a meadow. I love this artist’s images of Star Wars characters in whimsical situations. And how does he sip through that thing, anyway?
I hope you enjoyed this group of Anakin/Vader fan art. What do you think of them? What’s your favorite? Let me know in the comments and we’ll talk about it!
With Moon Knight premiering on Disney Plus today, I thought I’d showcase Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron in some fan art. I found some really cool pieces, so enjoy!
Jake Bartok is always a favorite with me, and here he has Poe as part of his Medieval series. I love how he made BB-8 an orange and white cat!
The Ace pilot. Yeah, he’s a handsome devil, lol.
Noooooo!
This is more like it. Poe with his buddy BB-8.
Classic Poe with his X-Wing. I love the style here.
These are the ones that stood out to me. What do you think of these images? Are you looking forward to Moon Knight? Let me know in the comments and we’ll talk about it!
