it has been a while since i drew tattletale so i wanted to draw her again in my updated style :+D

[junebugtwin]

Have some Rutatarri, an alien species made by @xenosaurus . The culture and speculative biology about these guys is so interesting, I highly suggest reading about them.

I did my best to draw the Rutatarri on model, though I made a few 'head-canons' I guess you could say, since I didn't know some information about them. I'm not sure what their young would look like, but I gave it my best guess on the right corner. I imagine they would grow darker as they aged. I also made up their blue mouth/tougne/skin, just because I thought it would be fun.

Togruta have hidges on their jaws much like some snakes and can open their mouths very, very wide :)

[junebugtwin]

Togruta's patterns on their Lekku/Montrals can change color and do so to indicate their emotional state. It is a chemical reaction and cannot be stopped by force of will or controlled, which is why many Togruta societies come across as absurdly blunt or honest to outsiders- many of them don't see a point in trying to hide their feelings when it is obvious they are having them. Of course, some cultures prefer to simply cover their heads when around strangers and only show their Montrals to close friends/family.

The aging system for Lekku/Montrals as shown by Ahsoka!

The pattern growth is dependent on the resources and stressors of the Togruta throughout childhood and adolescence. Thick smooth bands indicate a healthy childhood with lots of food and lack of physical or emotional stress, thin snakelike bands suggest a traumatic youth, and ragged or sharp edges are the result of a young Togruta not having enough food or food which does not fit their obligate carnivore needs.

Ahsoka grew up during a war period as a child soldier and her stripes reflect this.

had to figure out how to draw Canon Ahsoka before I could redesign her! Her Lekku/montrals are such a pain to draw consistently!

And here's my version! I wanted to balance giving her a less human look while not going too crazy in the other direction, as I am wont to do. Closeup/details below the cut! (for the love of god click some of these pics they are so blurry otherwise)

Ahsoka's skull! I do a side profile in later pics

her mouth situation. took inspiration from tigers teeth here, maybe not totally realistic but extremely cool

nails and teeth! They get darker through use and damage, with her claws being damaged a lot more frequently than her teeth.

hands and feet- note that the darker brown is not padding the way a dog might have, but rather a pattern that shows on parts of the body that are more sensitive to touch.

headshot with her colors for my own use :)

testing out looks for her uniform, not totally sold on this look yet

nakey so that I have a ref for her stripes ect

her eyeballs!

okay, awesome! I will post them under the tag 'Ahsokacore' if you'd like to ignore it :-)

so to preface this, I've never seen any of the Star Wars movies and most of what I know about it is from cultural osmosis. The only star wars thing I've actually consumed is fanfiction and The Clone Wars- a couple of episodes when I was a kid.

I have no explanation for why this has happened to me but recently I've become obsessed with the character of Ahsoka from the clone wars. I love her design and personality and think her life story is interesting (i will probably watch the entirety of Clone Wars at one point but I haven't yet).

So like one does I have been redesigning her character and doing some speculative biology for togrutas and it's been a lot of fun. Unfortunately no one in my life cares about star wars (valid) and wouldn't really want to look at my art. This is my Worm blog so it wouldn't exactly be on theme, but I'm wondering how many folks here might be interested in seeing it?

imagine if you like bought a house and the realtor that sold you the house came by and did maintenance every couple months and it was a pretty good arrangement until one day they stopped doing maintenance and things started breaking them and you called them up and they were like 'surprise! we've decided what this house is really missing is a pool so we're going to build a whole new house for you that has a pool we are so excited about this pool' and you were like 'is this a deflection from your sexual harassment lawsuit you're involved in' and they were like 'the pool is going to be so cool!' and hung up and you didn't hear from them for years and then they called you up again and were like 'good news! we've built the new house, why don't you move in' and you were like 'oh, the one with the pool?' and they were like 'wellll yeah but we haven't actually installed the pool yet but when we do it's going to totally transform how you live in your house so you can see the value' and you were like 'i don't know i think i'll stay in this one' and they were like 'hmm yeah sorry actually you can't we're blowing the old house up with dynamite' and you were like 'what? why?' and they were like 'so that you're not split between your old house and the new one' and you were like 'um, fine' and you drove over to the new house and there was no pool or space for a pool and the realtor showed up to gave you the keys and you were like 'this house looks identical to the old one, i don't really understand why you did this' and they were like 'aha! you see, the old house had six rooms, this one has five!' and you were like 'that sounds worse, though' and they were like 'no you see with only five rooms it will be much easier to do maintenance on the house' and you were like 'but you haven't done that for months' and they were like 'yeah that was the old house which we've just blown up with explosives this is the new house' and you were like 'so how's that sexual harassment lawsuit going' and they leaped acrobnatically into their car like a trapeze artist and zoomed away and you went into the house and saw a coin slot on the bathroom door and called them and you could hear the background noise of a courtroom and they said 'yeah so you have to pay five dollars every time you use the bathroom now, it's our new monetization plan' and you were like 'well this is bullshit i feel like this house is just straight up worse' and they were like 'noo listen the pool is going to be so cool it's going to be so good we promise there'll be a diving board and a tiki bar and those water jets that give young people sexual awakenings' and you were like 'well okay' and they were like 'we've been building this pool for four years trust us it's going to be good' and then you didn't hear from them for a long long time except occasionally when they showed up to do maintenance and if you asked about the pool they just winked meaningfully and asked if you wanted to pay a $15/month fee for a bathroom pass giving you unlimited flushes and toilet paper. and this went on for a year until one day you got a voicemail 'dear resident. we're not going to build the pool lol' and you called them back like 'well what the fuck did you demolish my old house for' and they were like 'we actually gave up on the whole pool like two years ago but we did a whole announcement and it would have felt sooo awkward to walk it back' and you were like 'what the fuck have i been paying five dollars to use the toilet for over these last two years!' and they were like 'listen buddy if you don't like it you can buy the bathroom pass' and then they hung up on you . anyway that's what happened with overwatch 2
