[rooksunday]

*bursts into the room* the reason for short king fox is because he discovered caf while sneaking around the trainer quarters on kamino and stunted his growth !

[rooksunday]

shaak ti and her little clonelings :] i know it wouldve been impossible but all of them deserved a mama

[rooksunday]

Y’all I’m so sorry I’ve been MIA for a while, but life has absolutely been kicking my ass (in a good way (most of the time))! Anyway have a little Fox doodle from deep within my soul.

[rooksunday]

oh. okay.

so you got your money’s worth then.

If anything, Clan Skirata should be a crime syndicate. The galaxy's only luck that they don't care about world domination.

Omega laughed until she run out of breath. "Really?" she howled: "You have problems with me getting a tattoo? You?" "I just think you are a little young for it…" he tried, but earned only more laughter. "You were eight!"

week 2 of @summer-of-bad-batch

babe wake up, full canon accurate and up-to-date map of the star wars galaxy just dropped

[rooksunday]

Mandalorian art?! This is the way!

This started out as a Lgbtqi+ piece (cause Pedro is an amazing person) and a friend came up with an idea I just had to make (but that idea will be posted later on). So this one is just Din looking cool.

[rooksunday]

about the pronunciation of the 'i' in Fi's name -

is it pronounced 'eye'

or 'ee'

A trooper, a leader, a friend. Here lies Rex, the bravest of us all. May his star cut through the unknowing net and guide us into freedom.

Hera,

I shouldn’t be surprised. The big speech was already pushing it. He would’ve complained about it to me endlessly. However, these are the words that would suit him best, and this is how I’ll be honouring him.

— F

Hera,

Not only would he have complained about it, but I would have joined in as well if I had any less self-restraint. I’m looking at it now and wondering why he’s forty years younger.

— F

F,

They’re ignoring me. I might be able to request a new one that’ll suit his likeness if I poke around a little more. Please advise.

— Hera

Hera,

Negative. Know that he’s talking smack on the other side of the door right now, though.

— F

Hera,

The morning sun would wake him up at exactly oh-eight-hundred. It’s as if he’s in the room with me, breathing.

It burns me still to this day.

— A

[rooksunday]

everyone who ever tried to kill you failed btw

[rooksunday]

quick sketch of my favorite Bad Idea

[rooksunday]

wanted to make silly joke about troopers with gills something something kamino but then took myself on a speedrun that ended in ‘underwater squadron wouldn’t hear o66 bc comms’ and ‘they’d survive strafing kamino bc underwater’ and anyway that’s how there’s a squad of merclones in the rebellion

SW Hades AU March-April Update

Some links and previous updates: May - June - July - August - September - October/November - December - January - February - everything else in this AU

I'm here with another two-month joint update because at the end of April I can hardly call it a March update, and truth be told I don't think I did much for this AU in the first month of spring anyway.

I started playing Hades 2 again, and made some progress with the Omega and Boba redraw of the Warsong update wallpaper :3 The more time that passes between posting and writing this the happier I am with this piece. Who could find all the gear that Omega wears from the Batch? 👀

Which cannot exactly be said about Sabine and Ezra as well, but I finally have something to show for them!!

Next up is Satine (now that I can show a small illustration in my skethcbook for her, it should go easy - I hope), and maybe Fennec or the Armorer. And lining Axe and laying down flat colors for him and Koska as well. I'm trying to get a drawing for all the missing characters and get them to the part where only detailed shading is missing. If my hand doesn't hurt too much at least ^^;

I'm also gearing up to drawing a new Ares!Boba too, but I'm still in denial about that ^^;

I did not have a particulrly good time with these drawings, I will be very honest upfront. I had to redraw Omega two times because I tried to line that piece in CSP and for some reason faces are just not happening for me there; It hadn't go well with Echo either months ago. I don't know what's up. The tilt of my tablet or that I don't have o zoom un until all I can see are pixels?? OTL

...and then the colours fought me something awful too. Between Boba and Omega they had red, yellow, green and blue covered, and all that with Boba's white flightsuit was not fun ^^; I don't know, I just cannot deal with that many colours - so figuring out what and how I should desaturate was quite an experiment in patience for me until they looked somewhat cohesive. Thankfully the added moonlight turned out to be distracting enough that I'm pretty much warming up to it all now.

I'm afraid I will have to use actual Multiply layers for the full shading.

And Sabine. Oh Sabine.

I've struggled here, big time, and I'm still deeply unhappy with her. I experimeted a lot in my sketchbook with her pose, but any time I thought I was finally on to something as soon as I went in to fix some minor anatomy issues digitally and add some details things just fell apart.

It was the tooka that messed everything up, I'm sure of it D: ^^; I wanted something to visually tie Sabine and Ezra together, and my decision fell on the little white tooka that was in Sabine's mural too at the end of Rebels. But now Sabine's shoulder had to stand in a way that the little critter can perch on and judge from...

Honest to god I almost cried with relief when I came across Eurydice in Asphodel when I switched back to playing Hades for a bit, and realized that she has the lean and attitude in her pose that I was looking for with Sabine. So it was either the coward's way out, or to throw the entire project out the window and become a hermit in the mountains or something.

You can see which option I picked XD

I am deeply, deeply fond of Ezra however Q^Q He was so cooperative after a few initial testing sketches, his hair is perfect, I didn't forget his scars, and I will find it in me to forgive his weird not-really-chainmail shirt, because that one I did to myself XD

I also finally got around to drawing a quick sketch for Fennec - for a hot minute I was very very tempted to pick for her a pose that's a lot closer to Widowmaker from Overwatch, but the vibes just didn't quite match. That was a very sad realization :'(

(Yes, I took the picture after Satine bled through the page in all her alcohol marker glory, yes, I regret it, and no, I cannot relably draw faces on paper. It is a real tragey. I'm in mourning.)

And just so that I cannot really sigh in relief, Leia is my next struggle. I still don't know how to make her work, and it's been months. Terrible. Horrible. Really really bad. Why am I even trying...TT^TT

So that's it for this month. It's both less and more than how it feels, and I'm also kinda losing a bit of steam - my mind is at re-drawing the entire background section for the House of Hades, so on the backburner i'm trying to cook up various background elements to fill the halls up with. Hades is such a beautifully designed game with such amazing shapes and colours, and Star Wars is such a different style especially when it comes to decorations... So there is a lot of cooking that will have to happen here. But I spent a not insignificant part of my last week (I'd been sick, I could get away with it) watching Drawfee speedpaints (they are so fun and so educational sometimes) and Jacob really popped off in one video creating a pixel art game of some sort? And ever since all I could think about is how and IF I could make my pocket Din move through my version of the Hades AU. Just a section of it. I'm itching to draw the backgrounds, but goddamn I am tired, so I just keep distracting myself from the important character art stuff with these daydreams X"D

I also very badly and incredibly distractingly want to re-draw Boba - I've drawn him so long ago, and it feels deeply unfair that I tried to puzzle out the style on him - and while Din got his upgrades bit by bit Boba just didn't. Also. Ares. Ares looks so good in his character art just sitting around like that - all casual-like - and Boba also has his trademark sprawl and... Look. I'm back to Boba being my most favourite clone, okay? I miss him. I miss drawing him. There.

Okay, rant over. Maybe this way I will be able to concentrate again XD Here's to hoping 🤞 I hope you guys are doing better with your creative projects! ❤️ See you all in May! Hopefully with something a bit more substantive and some proper links, not just wips like these ^^;
