Heeeeeeeeyyyy there, Cowboy. This is a completely self indulgent fanart. Yenem knows exactly what she's doing and it's driving Bane up a wall. This isn't an illustration of any scene in particular (yet), but it captures their dynamic quite accurately. Yenem is an OC from my fanfiction titled "Figment". Click here to read. ----- What inspired this? @Mihxk_o_o illustrated this same scene. I came across it on instagram and had render with with Bane and Yenem. I make no claims on the pose and paneling, that's all Mihxk_o_o. I'm not making any money on this anyway. This is purely for the fandom-ness. Check out @mihxk_o_o's instagram and original post. <- click!

Incase you missed it, Chapter 10 of my Cad Bane fanfiction was uploaded a little while ago, for "Figment."

---

Chapter 11 is in progress. Trying to decide if a certain scene should wait for later...?

Cad Bane is hired by Yenem'Ropi for a bounty. "Figment" Chapter 7 will be posted shortly. This is a scene during a dream sequence. Yenem'Ropi is one of my OCs, a proud business woman who negotiates with Bane on behalf of her mysterious "friend." Read "Figment" on AO3 <-click Mostly bounty hunting stories with a dash of romance. Rated T. I think I finally got Bane's coloring right after coming across a T-Pose of his Clone Wars attire. Bane has primary colors, so I gave the twi'lek and my other OC, Nareid, secondary colors. I'm a nerd, what can I say? --------------------------------------------------- xInAmberCladx's Fanart Archive <-click

Nareid Hyuse Concept Art. Star Wars OC. I'm a huge fan of Mon Mothma, so I stole her color palette. I'm also a fan of Leia, so I used her hair bun thing. The face is based off Lagos, the Mandalorian cadet, but I aged her up with stronger lines. She's an artist hired by another OC, Yenem'Ropi, to put fine art in her establishment. Nareid and Cad Bane will have hilarious conversations about Art Theft, and the "proper" way to steal art. She's horrified to find he's cut out canvases from the frame before. She doesn't talk to him for a while because of it. LOL. He later consults her concerning the Black Market and how Art is the 5th most commonly smuggled item in the galaxy. (Think about it, ya'll. Where else do you think Dryden Vos got all those pretty sculptures and artifacts?) She will appear in my fanfiction "Figment" on A03 during Cad Bane's dream sequences, which get more and more elaborate as time progresses. Triple Jedi Mind Tricks kinda f***ed him up, but oh well.

So I colored the darn thing... Here's some close up shots so you can read each panel individually.

>_<;

"Figment" Chapter 8: Unresolved.

Cad Bane tells a story from his early bounty hunting days to Yenem'Ropi. Nareid Hyuse pops in and is curious about the moon he mentions. The story is a retelling of his adventures with a young Darth Maul, who hired him and his crew of bounty hunters to help him kidnap Eldra Kaitus, a Jedi Padawan. This reference is canon, in a comic you can read. There is an fan-voiced version on YouTube. Read "Figment" on A03 <-click Synopsis: The Jedi Persuasion was utter torture. Maybe he deserved it. After he escaped custody, Bane begins to dream of a life he could never have, and a woman that doesn't exist. At first he thinks the nice dreams are a blessing, but for a non-force sensitive like Bane, the reality is... dreams never come true. Mostly bounty hunting stories and a dash of romance.

A female Twi'lek Character Concept. I watched an old cowboy western movie and there was a very beautiful actress by the name of Gina Lollobrigida. She played the character Alicia and was the romantic lead alongside Lee Van Cleef's character King. I gave her secondary colors of orange and purple because she's a secondary character ~~~. Ha. Art humor! Yay. She was initially going to be human, but I thought... I wonder what she'd look like as a Twi'lek? And heck yes, she's so pretty as a Twi! Her species helped me develop her backstory, which I hope readers find compelling. She's a self-made woman, not a slave. I'm having a tough time deciding a name. I had "Vix" as her temporary stand in name as I write, but it seems too Mary-Sue for my liking. Here's some from the SW name generator website: Yenem'ropi Fos'tewe Kar'vefi I kinda like Yenem... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chapter 5 releases on July 14th, or perhaps sooner.

*writes tragic backstory only to scrap it entirely*

Does anyone else do this? XD I've done this for so many OCs in random daydreams, giving them tragedies to develop their personality, only to realize they don't need those tragedies to have that personality. Then I scrap the backstory and replace it with a simpler one, only for the juicy stuff to happen during the actual story instead of the past, and their pre-constructed personality helps them navigate the thickening plot. What's your process with OCs? ------ For example:

-- Yenem'Ropi (the orange Twi'lek) OG backstory: was also originally a slave, abducted from Rutia. She was overworked and humiliated by her master for years before she poisoned him and freed herself, taking over his financial assets using his own security codes. I scrapped this. New Backstory: Instead she was a servant for a while, but took her hatred of servitude to the next level and rose through the ranks of a Cartel (by ruthless means) and eventually became the boss, and once she was the boss then she reshaped the Cartel into a completely different business venture.

-- Nareid Hyuse (the red head artist)

OG Backstory: She had originally been abducted and enslaved, but convinced the Zygerrian Queen that she was more valuable as a court painter than a labor or sex worker. She works as the court painter until bought and freed by Yenem'Ropi. However, I ended up scrapping that too. New Backstory: I turned Nareid into a simple art teacher on Coruscant, though Yenem still found her there and hired her. Being a teacher backs up her wise/nurturing role in the fanfic. These backstories, especially Yenem's, could be really engaging if I told them right. However, I probably will only touch on them, hinting at them in my fanfic. Why? They're not relevant to Cad Bane's story at all in the dream world. Plus, they're both grown-ass women who know who they are and what makes them, just like Cad Bane is a grown-ass man who knows what he's made of. They're both going to serve as foils to different sides of Bane's personality. How? You'll just have to wait and read. :D Read my Fanfiction "Figment" on AO3. <-click - mostly bounty hunting stories with a dash of romance. It has lots of illustrations too. :D
