#clone trooper reference

[pinkiemme]

do you have any tips for drawing clones?

Okay I tried doing something really quickly, I know there are other artists that have clone guides that are amazing and I really used those as a reference to draw them, but I couldn’t find any right now!

Artists, please feel free to add anything! And to let me know if there’s something I’m missing, there’s always room for improvement!!

I think the most important thing is to look at Temuera Morrison references, I use this drive folder someone shared with LOTS of Tem’s references that is amazing

As for how I draw them, I think these are the top 4 things to have in mind: jawline, nose, eyebrows and hair

I like to do their jawlines really round shaped:

For the nose, I work with this weird “w” shape, I do it with every character nose, but with clones it’s a really wide shape

Here’s two examples on my art with the round jaw and nose shape:

The eyebrows have this pointy shape at the end, I make it more or less accentuated depending on the facial expression (less if it’s more relaxed and more if they’re frowning)

And last, curly hair!! You can even make it with a flat color, just make the shape bouncy! (I can’t add more pics 😭)

And please don’t whitewash them 💖

Thank you so much for your ask!! 🥰🥰

Tech's Helmet: Im finyish go fo Belta

So, a major plot point in Far Past the Ring is the simple fact that the layout and design of Tech's unique trooper helmet was copied, and taken back to the Ring Gate, where Belters have gone absolutely bananas over this fancy and ingenious design.

Belters live their lives in space completely, and having a helmet that is safe, comfortable, and practical, is crucial as life itself. In The Expanse, Belters often slap stickers or write their names on their helmets. I imagine, with more time and wealth, more decorations can take part, and it's a big plot point in the longfic, especially for Tro, pictured below in the bottom right.

Here's the OCs who have taken Tech's helmet design (which is called the 'Tekimang' style.

FYI: Tekimang is the Lang Belta word for an engineer, it literally translates to 'tech-man'! It becomes an ongoing joke that it's Tech's full name, lol.

Front view of the helmets.

Sjael Drummer: A chemical engineer who focuses on creating synthetic and organic sweeteners for human consumption, Sjael’s helmet is covered in elaborate flowers and fruits that she works closely with. You will see strawberries, blueberries, vanilla, and blossoms from potato and carrot plants. They are done in mixed Ojibwe/Rosemaling style, to signify her mixed First Nations and Scandinavian Earther heritage. I also designed it to also signify her archetype as Persephone and Idunn (coincidentally, the name of her Mulan-class gunship), bringers and guardians of life and all things green and growing. 

Timon Chapelle: Timon is a firefighter, through and through. His helmet is covered in almost brutalist paintings of flames and ropes, all in reds, oranges, and yellows. The ‘ropes’ on his cheeks are almost Celtic in design, as in some ways, he is a keeper of multiple facets of knowledge as a Belter elder. 

Hobbs Chapelle: “If an elementary school kid designed a helmet”. Hobbs is obsessed with animals, especially his two pet cats, and becomes enamored with the idea of Wookiees and other sentient species after meeting clone troopers from the 41st. He not only has his cats' paws on his helmet's front, but a stylist design of Wookiee handprints and claw marks on the ears and visor, made to look like they were painted with mud. The circles on top of the helmet signify his homes of Ganymede, Ceres, and now Medina Station. 

Tro Chapelle: A budding artist and high school freshman, Tro’s helmet designs is all over the place, as are her interests. Very much a teen's notebook style, a girl still figuring out her place in the universe. Her helmet's ears have the design of her great-grandmother’s ‘freedom quilt’ from Earth that was destroyed in the Ganymede attack. Her visor has her name in Ojibwe from the Drummer side. The rest of her helmet is covered in various paint jobs to symbolize elements of fire, air, water, and earth–things that she is thrilled to see now that she is on the station.

Reminder to myself that

Helix and Bones of 212th are fanon characters

Dooku is canonically not a Yan

Grandmaster and grandpadawan are not real terms when it comes to lineages

Padme and Anakin's marriage is not an open secret

Clones don't speak Mando'a

Cal Kestis and Caleb Dume weren't best friends before Order 66

Kote is not Cody's name

However, I will be ignoring these facts just because I can and no one can do anything to stop me

Crosshair's fine. Slightly drunk, but fine.

Nothing like a kid to give you an existential crisis.
