More of my drawings

My Update turned out to be pretty long, so I thought I’d put my drawings in a separate post again. Here’s my latest drawings of Andor characters:

I took a little break from Star Wars characters and drew some random models I found on Pinterest:

I wanted to practice glasses, but they came out weirdly shaped, lol.

An interesting facial expression to try.

Closed eyes are a lot easier than open ones to draw, lol.

I’ll be working on a combination of Star Wars characters and random people, so stay tuned for more!

The Bad Batch Fan Art

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!

Bad Batch Fan Art…and some fan fiction!

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:

Older Hunter and Omega by Artist: Queen Jiru

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.

Ahsoka Fan Art

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!

Some High Republic Fan Art

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.
