First drawing was made in 2021, the second in 2022. This is exploring an au where Padme Amidala was togrutan instead of human. 

Padme’s face markings changed a little between versions as I wasn’t quite happy with the original. Her montrals and lekku are inspired by her funeral gown because the prevalence of sadness in Padme’s life is a interesting concept to explore. (Left of second drawing) I’m curious if a togrutan Padme would were a cooler tone sunset dress or would she keep the warm tones. I think her full queen face up would be fairly similar to how it looks in the movies ( hard to keep your identity as queen separate with such identifying markings without totally covering up) but I imagine she would have more relaxed versions of the queens look as she transitions into a senator. (Top right of second drawing) Padme living and taking care of her children means so much to me. I also explored the idea of half-togrutan Leia and Luke. Leia’s marking are inspired by the rebellion symbol and her lekku are inspired by descriptions of Alderann’s mountains. Since she’s in her celebration gown I also paired her with some tasteful akul teeth jewelry because Leia knows how to mark victories. Luke’s lekku are much more toned down inspired by Tatooine’s sands with simple wrappings in line with Tatooine pratical fashion. He has twin markings with Leia but also has some elements of Padme’s markings because I always thought Luke resembled Padme more than Anakin.

listen I say this with patience bc some people may genuinely have not thought about this before but if you firmly say “AI art is terribly unethical and steals from artists” (which is correct) but then turn around and use voice AIs to generate songs/voice lines that sound like your favourite voice actors or singers……………………………………that is also AI art and it is also terribly unethical

Some of you might remember a couple of years ago when Scarlett Johansson sued Disney because she was making significantly less money for Black Widow than was guaranteed in her contract because so many more people watched it on streaming than in theaters, how there was a massive misinformation campaign from Disney that a ton of people on this website (and Twitter and other social media) bought into: That she was a greedy bitch who didn't respect people who needed to stay at home during the pandemic (I believe the word "ableist" was thrown around with aplomb) as opposed to someone who just wanted to be paid what she was owed. What was literally in her contract!!! And where everyone who took more than a couple minutes to actually look into and think about the situation could figure out that her issue wasn't with streaming itself, but with how little streaming was allowed to get away with paying her and other actors. But of course, a lot of people just saw the chance to dunk on a rich woman, and didn't think about it beyond readying some snarky tags and hit reblog. And in doing so, threw their support behind a much wealthier, greedier studio head who is already using similar language to describe the current strike.

Anyway we're going to see a lot of that from studios now, especially now that actors have joined the WGA and it's easier to sell them as rich and greedy than writers, because of this cultural stereotype we have of all Hollywood actors as celebrities. Don't fall for it. SAG-AFTRA represents people like Tom Cruise and ScarJo but it also represents the kind of people who played a Borg in two episodes of Star Trek: Voyager in 1997 or who had one line in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel as an enthusiastic audience member. Most actors are not crazy wealthy, and in fact, if you're a big TV fan (especially older TV and genre TV) that likely includes some actor names that you know, who played supporting roles in your fav shows, or who were even a star in something decades ago but haven't done anything major since. The AFTRA side also represents people like radio broadcasters. But even beside that, all workers deserve to be fairly compensated for the work they do, and the threat of replacing them with AI, or real actors being required to sign contracts to allow their likenesses to be used by AI forever without paying them, is an existential threat to acting as a profession in general. The actors are in the right. The writers are in the right. The studios are in the wrong. The studios have exploited new technology to get away with horrifying labor practices for years and their feet need to be put to the fire. Circulate the articles about how poorly the Orange is the New Black cast was compensated for making one of the defining shows of the early streaming boom, and of the studios saying they want to force writers to starve and lose their homes. Don't get distracted by propaganda aping progressive-sounding language about wealthy celebrities. Focus on the real enemy, the truly greedy fat cats who care more about money than people and art: the studios.

Image description: it's a drawing of Aayla Secura and Shaak Ti from Star Wars. They're standing back to back, Aayla is facing us. They both have blue lightsabers drawn. Aayla is using the force to pull her second lightsaber towards her screen-left arm. Aayla is looking at the camera with a cheeky smile. Shaak is looking and smiling at Aayla. They appear to be standing in fog. The background behind them is green and yellow. Below the first drawing, is a zoomed in version with their faces. End of description.
