Obi-Wan: Today I realized I am old.

Cody: What do you mean?

Obi-Wan: I fell over while training with Anakin, and instead of laughing, he ran over to see if I was okay.

Cody:

Obi-Wan, tearing up: I saw genuine fear in his eyes.

Bonus: A few of his Service Medals <3

Alone. 2025.

I had a horrid idea when novelizing our campaign, so I drew it. Umbara is a dark place.

Playing Pretend. 2023.

I just wanted to do a piece to break the burnout, so have a smol baby clone running in the rain.

[the-baddest-of-batches]

Fuck the art block this came to me in a vision

[the-baddest-of-batches]

The grind never ends

[the-baddest-of-batches]

This is so true bc if I list them...

Kian - name that sounded cool idk

Headshot - shenanigans

Bevik (stick) - Bullying Material

Morgan - boring name just bc

Nenti - sounded cool

Hook - shenanigans

Nyo - yes I share a name with that random ARC I just changed the spelling to soothe my inferiority complex.

I love that any clone trooper may have these naming stereotypes

Meaningful and cool it fits their personality

Idk it just sounds cool

Some boring natborn name

Charlie? Rick Astley? Smith? Sound otherworldly, vod. Where'd you get it from?

Color

Bullying material

Taken from some ancient holy bible they don't really know about

Shenanigans-y accidents

ID number

Yes I share names with the marshal commander

Yes I share names with CT-1370 from the Marines don't ask me how I know that I'm obviously not snooping around the database

Yes I share names with our Jedi general my name is Obi-Two

And that there are at least 3 of these stereotypes in a squad of 5

I forget to update

I really do not keep up well with being online, or active, or anything. So here's a little housekeeping.

INTRO POST: I made some edits! There's a new link to the Patreon <3

PATREON: since I know you all do enjoy occasionally seeing my art, when I do post it, I'm going to be moving a lot of it to Patreon and will still be keeping free art posts each month! Because art should be enjoyed.

But I am also adding a few new tiers, and updating to include more content, DnD content, poetry, honestly just a lot. And I will likely be updating/rebranding this page a little bit because it's beginning to bother me that I have 4,000 pages scattered across the internet with different names, looks, etc.

Realistically...I'm a multifaceted creature who just struggles to keep all of the facets in a box. So this page will likely become more geared toward my creations, and I may merge it with my old acc: @cryptid-kay to keep things cleaner.

Which means a LOT of new content and different stuff on here, if I remember to post. I do run like 6 or so social media accounts, a website, a patreon, and I am going back to work soon, so it's a little exhausting. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

No I don't know how to do less.

ANYWAY. The update is basically that I am here, I exist, I am going to be plugging the Patreon more, moving some things around, changing stuff up, and trying to keep up.

Till then, thanks for all the love you've shown my art. It really really does mean a lot. I see the reblogs, the likes, the comments, and I cackle quietly to myself when i smell someones heart breaking over the Umbaran Cadet again. Because I'm not a good person.

So thanks, all of you <3

An art after long last! Wanted to draw Kian's kids all grown up so there you have it. Just some siblings getting along and celebrating.

Left to right: Nenti (20), Nyo aka Kyr'am Jr. (23), Jeni aka Ryn (24).

Chapter Five Sneak Peek

She’s so close now, I can’t lose her.

Myren turns, and shifts, her shoulders pressing back toward my chest. She tucks her head into the space on my pillow. I keep my arm firmly around her waist, making sure she knows she’s just as safe as she makes me feel, if not safer. I’m still holding my breath.

She settles and I look up at the door briefly before trying, in futility, to close both eyes and follow her example. I am tired. After some time my mind finally edges toward slumber. It’s a liminal space of knowing I’m relaxed, I’m exhausted, and I just need to fall a little deeper into the darkness. I can still feel Myren’s breathing against my chest, but my arm and body are limp and numb. I could stay here forever.

Klaxon’s blare...

NOTE:

So, idk if anyone really cares that I post these here, but OH WELL I'm gonna keep plugging this silly lil fanfic based off my dnd sessions bc yeah, idk.

Chapter 4 Sneak Peek

"You're still here?"

Myren looks up. She brushes back her hair and takes a glance at my bandaged chest before quickly looking away. "We still have work to do and matters to discuss. I thought I would wait."

I nod slowly. "Ah, I see now. Patch me up and put me back to work, no wonder you keep hiring clones." I smirk at her, just so she knows I'm joking.

Myren rolls her eyes. "I didn't hire you, Commander."

"I'm sure you helped," I can't help but smile. Especially when she responds with a glare, and not just any glare either; the exact one she gives people when she doesn't want to admit something is true, usually because it would mean admitting something else far worse as well. I can't say I don't love it, the way she narrows her red eyes, her brow slightly furrowed, and her lips pursed just enough to ward off any ideas that she's anything other than ticked off. She's gorgeous.

Myren tucks the datapad under her arm and turns around. "Meet me in my office when you're ready to get back to work." She starts down the hall, not caring if I'm following.

I salute after her, grinning, "Yes ma'am."

But sometimes, there would be Patreon art...

I am WOEFULLY bad at promoting my Patreon and given the fact I just shout into the void here, yep, yep, that probably won't change.

and I am fully aware this is mostly a Star Wars blog because yeah, but SOMETIMES THERE WOULD BE ORIGINAL ART.

So if you like random Dnd and novel art, or just seeing art in general, I have the rare out-of-the-blue Patreon post for you. And if you like seeing fanart, we got that too.

So this is my hopeless attempt at promotion. You're welcome. Check out my Patreon. Pretty please?

I love that art piece of the clone running on kamino with Umbara in the puddle and was wondering A: can I get it as a tattoo and B: would it be possible to get more for all the boys of the 501st and the planets they died on?

I am FREAKING HONORED that you'd wanna put my art on your body.

Personally, go ahead fam. (I mean I would love to see how it turns out, but total respect to your privacy).

As for the second half, that's neat idea! I actually hadn't planned on more than the Umabara piece that goes with it, mostly since this character is an OC. Buttttt I think it might make for a fun series. Esp now that I got procreate and it's fancy brushes.

I wouldn't know where to start tho, so if you got favs, send em. 💕
