Y’all probably: Ohhhh Ty :(( where is our Rebels art?

Me: Star Wars OCs reimagined in a Bridgerton inspired Sci Fi Regency AU GO!!!

(cough cough look out, minorly suggestive doodle midway down)

Genuinely though, sorry for being dead :p I've been so OC pilled recently and its all my dear partner @prettydykeboy s fault. I have like a quarter of a minecraft stack of doodles of the various AUs we're putting these guys in rn it's so much fun <33

(Half these OCs also belong to my partner btw, maybe one day I’ll introduce them properly)

Hey man I just wanted to say I love your art sm, you’re one of the main artists who’s inspiring me to learn how to draw and get more involved with the Star Wars fandom again lately! Do you per chance have any tips on how to “get good” and establish an art style and stuff?

Hai hai!

Sorry this took me so long to respond to, I’ve had a busy past few days. First of all though, thank you so much! Really happy to hear you’re learning to draw and getting in with the sw fandom more :]]

As for Art tips, I have a lot! But for the sake of not yapping away for twenty minutes I'll just rattle off the main stuff that worked for me!

For getting good it sucks to say but it is just practise and drawing from life. That doesn't mean it has to be boring though! Sometimes I draw stuff I think looks cool, sometimes I draw stuff with the specific goal of using them to later create something from imagination.

Life drawing (people) is particularly important to me cause I mainly draw people. However I tend to keep it very quick, loose and simple. Focusing in on practising a page of just one thing (expressions, sitting poses, hands ect ect) for just 5 minutes a day worked great for me!

Creating an art-style used to stress me out a lot as a teen, cause it seemed like every brilliant artist had a super distinct and unique one that they stuck to all the time. It was actually when I stopped caring about keeping myself boxed into a specific set of art rules that i started having more fun and accidentally ended up with more of a "style".

Still, I like to keep it open to whatever i feel like! Saturated or desaturated, line art no lineart, shapey or less shapey ect ect. I also love to pick things i love about other people's art and try apply it to my own! Maybe it's the colours they used, or texture they add, or the way they compose their drawings. Just falling in love with whatever your making is the real key to getting good.

Anyways, sorry for chattering away, I have no idea how helpful this actually is. If you ever want any super specific tips or help feel free to ask! And good luck with drawing dude!

hi i wanted to let you know that i am writing a fic where i reference the lothal people being evolved from loth cats because i think its a dope headcanon, is there a way that i can give you credit? i’m posting on ao3

also love all of ur art <3

AHH WHOAA!! Firstly thank you so much, really glad to hear you're liking the art!

And secondly credit for this idea actually goes to @peachyhoolagan , they are very big brained and totally the reason I ended up drawing that loth cat descendant Ezra doodle haha

So no need to credit me at all! (Though I would love to read yoru fic if you end up posting it!)

[tyquu]

I go back through your Rebels art to feel again

Im glad to hear that man!! Happy feelings

[tyquu]

[tyquu]

[tyquu]

Steps into shadow Ezra how I love thee

Obligatory B Day doodle

Kanera Cuddles for @pretchatta for the Kanera Gift Exchange! Getting some snoozes in between missions is important!

[tyquu]

Makes me really sad whenever I'm reading post rebels S4 stuff and they act like Kanan and Jacen are Hera's only real family. Even official disney stuff acts like this sometimes. Like, those aren't just her coworkers, that's her fucking crew! Rebels did NOT air the most perfect found family dynamic ever just for people to act like blood family trumps all

[tyquu]

Test tube baby :P

[tyquu]

this is a check in, how are you doing, lovely artist?

✨ Highly volatile ✨ /lh

No but seriously, even though things may not have been too hot recently, I think I’m actually on the way back up now, so that’s good! Slowly but surely getting there. Thanks for the check in!

[tyquu]

Not your first kill, but perhaps the bloodiest ...

Was chatting with @dailyezrabridger (@prettydykeboy ) a while back about the aftermath of the great purgilling and felt compelled to make this.

Loth Rat

[tyquu]

Congrats again on the 2k!!

Request wise... Ezra and a bunch of Loth-Cats???

Mroww

[tyquu]

What's this??? Yet another SWR modern au?

I need to stop making these haha.

(Modern Au where Kanan and Hera are Single Parents TM to Sabine and Ezra respectively and decide to move in together. Queue shenanigans)

[tyquu]

I spent way too long on this god forsaken boat project not to at least post the mini comic that went with it. So uh... rare non fandom post.
