    The old EU is where I'm stuck at, mentally - eh, that's the way it goes sometimes. The NJO, and all the rest ... [face_shhh]

    In our last RPG session, Tyrran got possessed by a powerful Dark Side entity known as The Abyss. Caught in a dream-like state and assailed by twisted visions of the past and future, he sabotaged the hyperdrive and tried to shoot Jastra in the back of the head. Fortunately, Jastra's inebriated guardian angel stun-gunned him before he could pull the trigger. Good ol' Lars. :cool: So reliable.

    Man, I do feel bad for Tyrran though. He's gonna have a killer headache when he wakes up.

    After a happy ending to arc 2, our group is officially on hiatus.

    Tyrran survived the Battle of Yavin and received a promotion from Wedge Antilles in recognition for his bravery and skill. He then returned to Corellia, where he founded Silver Squadron. Tyrran is currently recruiting and training X-wing pilots for the Rebellion. :xwing:
    Lok became leader of the bounty hunting organization known as the Carina Syndicate. He accompanied Tyrran back to Corellia to regroup with his scattered forces. Lok has vowed to personally hunt down the leader of the Deathwatch; in the meantime, his comrades are working with the Alliance. :boba:
    The Bothan Council approved the Avys clan's petition for membership, and Jastra was appointed liaison between the Council and the Rebel Alliance. After finally admitting their love for each other, she and Koskit moved in together on Bothawui. She is continuing her education in medicine, with a focus on trauma surgery and cybernetics. :r2h:
    Lars followed Jastra home to Bothawui. He is living the cushy life...for now. He'll probably go a-roving before long. :ghost:

    There will be a year-long timeskip in game when we start up again. If you're interested in keeping tabs on my art and my RPG group in the meantime, you can join my discord server!

    For those of you who use instagram, I now have a dedicated account for my Star Wars art. I will be uploading my old art over the next week or so, and adding new drawings once our hiatus ends. Follow me for updates! :)

    Created a character for an auction on deviantart. Thought I'd share her here!

    @Acaciathorn

    I absolutely love your artwork and style - you are very talented if I may say so!! [face_blush]

    And you rekindled my interest in the Bothan species - they were the first species I read about in relation to Star Wars as a whole, and thus it lead me to creating a lot of Bothan characters for my fan fiction works.

    My pleasure! And I sure am! :)

    I think I will revive my Bothan families and bring them out of the dark ages (they have been sitting on my laptop collecting dust for a while).

    Another adoptable character for an auction. He's a laid-back, koi-patterned Trandoshan who "hunts" pearls, shells, and other treasures of the sea~ [​IMG] This was my first time coloring a picture using Clip Studio Paint, cause my tablet spontaneously stopped working in photoshop :(

    Second Trandoshan adopt! He's the brother of/land counterpart to the previous Trando I did. They both hate shirts apparently haha

    From what he's holding, he hunts ... minerals, like gold? I like their cheery, wide smiles, not at all menacing!![face_nail_biting] And open shirts are excellent for ogling sculpted chests, whatever the species. Sometimes I just don't know about myself. Other times, I'm sure.:emperor:

    Yup, he hunts mineral-based "treasures" essentially he's a fancy rock collector. Despite the stereotype of the scary Trandoshan, both brothers are remarkably good-natured and get along well with most people they encounter.

    These are great and shiny. It is great that they break the mould of what is normally associated with the Trandoshans and that they hunt for a different type of "prey".

    Would one of the mods kindly remove the [updated date] in the title line, since we can't edit the titles anymore?

    There we go. It is a shame about being unable to edit though and hopefully it'll be sorted soon.

    Commission for Fenn of his Bothan characters, Sayar and Tresk Kal'ir. Like Jastra, the brothers grew up on equatorial Kothlis and got up to all sorts of mischief in their youth.

    @Acaciathorn your art is amazing! It's awesome how you put these detailed Bothans and Trandoshans and other species into your cool art style!!
    Just a few artist questions, if you don't mind:
    - How long have you been doing art like this?
    - What do you use, like tablet, wacom, etc?
    - How long does it take you to do most artworks?

    Thanks if you answer!!

    I've been doing Star Wars art since 2015. I use an ancient wacom tablet (seriously...it's like 10+ years old), opencanvas 4.5, and Photoshop CC. I zone out while I'm drawing so I tend to lose track of time, but I'll do my best to give an estimate [face_blush]

    A quick drawing like this takes a couple of hours:
    [​IMG]

    A mid-tier pic like this takes around...6-8 hours, I'd say?
    [​IMG]

    A complicated piece like this one can take several days (I work off and on whenever I have free time):

    Our Star Wars game will be starting up again very soon, so expect more Bothans in the near future! ;)

    Here are some of the pieces I created during the hiatus! They're all illustrations for the Avatar: The Last Airbender campaign I'm running.
