#fathier

I have made. a chart. (click through for fullsize to actually read it)

Ironically I did not like The Last Jedi at all, but the fathiers caught my imagination because I will glom on to any fantasy horse-adjacent creature you put in front of me no matter how weirdly utilized or poorly thought out it is. I've been reworking their visual design a little to make them less uncanny valley cgi and make them into something that fills the same aesthetic/cultural niche as a fancy sport horse, but it also bothered me that they were all the same color and not at all designed like a domestic animal even though they pretty clearly are. I get why they didn't spend time and budget on coloring them all uniquely for the approximately five minutes of screentime they had, but it was a waste of potential and also there's no way an animal bred entirely by ostentatious rich people with too much money and time on their hands doesn't have a robust community of color breeders and dubiously ethical halter lines and the general kind of fuckery you see with any animal that's been kept by humans for a while.

I primarily based their genetics on horses, but I also borrowed some from goats and sheep, took the piebald patterns mainly from deer, and made some of it up entirely (though outside the alchemy stuff I tried to keep everything plausible and cohesive). There are also genes horses have that fathiers don't, so it's not a direct 1:1 in either direction. This also isn't a comprehensive list of Every Possible Color Fathiers Come In, but rather all the color genes that can interact with each other in various ways. You can probably create some absolutely batshit-looking animals with this chart as well as very understated, mundane ones.

At some point I'll expand further on the very specific headcanons about ancient Sith and the history of fathiers overall that tie into all this (most of it is rooted in Old Republic era EU stuff since I don't really touch the disney-verse outside of stealing their creatures and I'm mainly in the SWTOR corner of the fandom), but that's one for my lore/oc blog. You can probably extrapolate the important bits just from reading through the chart if it interests you.

Fairgoers marvel at purebred fathiers imported from a Republic member world.

I’m not a big fan of the sequel trilogy AT ALL, but at least some creatures were cool. Pack 1 : Original Trilogy Pack 2 : Prequel Pack 4 : Fallen Order Pack 5 : Mandalorian Pack 6 : Other

A few more creatures! I might do more with all of these critters, honestly I have ideas going in overdrive at the moment and these are all so fun to do! But there were a lot of calls for a kybuck and the idea of a Kybuck’s Coffee logo hit me hard, hahaha, plus a couple of mentions of a fathier, and @queen-scribbles requested a very specific kitty pose! I imagine this manka lynx might be the logo for a day spa or a chiropractor...??

A Leap Of Faith

I was listening to the Bad Batch Season 2 trailer music, and it reminded me that I had an art piece that kinda fit it! This was for my dragon!batch au, but it can certainly be enjoyed separately. 

also, bonus Omega sketch bc I like it

How do people do OCs, I can never get them to click properly

#i think i’m holding back too much the idea is there in my head #but when i’m drawing i’m conscious that i might want to share this stuff at some point so the whole time i’m thinking #about making a good design and i don’t want to give them anything vaguely similar to anyone else’s oc because i don’t want to step on toes #so they end up barely a visage of what i want to be creating #idkkk #the idea i have in my head is an oc who’s a horse girl LMAO their companion is a fathier who they have a very strong inseparable bond with #i am a lifelong horse person and i grew up reading pony club secrets and watching stuff like flicka so i feel like i can bring #something personal to that concept #but i don’t want them to be a mando. i don’t know much about mando culture and i cba to learn so that was the one i did not want hem to be #and yet. i can only imagine them with mandalorian armour #they’re the same species as dryden vos. there’s next to no lore on his species and they’re non human in a way that’s easy to draw #so i can just make stuff up and not be constrained by canon #them being near human is also relevant to their story. they spent a lot of time around humans and they’re close enough to human to get by #but not human enough that there’s something off. they don’t quite fit in and they always felt on the outside looking in #hence why they prefer the company of animals #maybe i’ll have them formerly working in fathier racing but that might be too projecty #this is so rambly i apologise i’ve been very talkative on here recently #ohh this is very off the cuff but maybe they’re the child of loyal mandalorians but never really subscribed to it themselves #having spent a lot of time around fathiers also meant they spent less time around mandalorians. so despite technically being mando #and wearing the armour they don’t really identify very strongly as a mandalorian

[KICKS DOWN THE DOOR] CHAPTER 17 OF MASTER AND APPRENTICE: OBI-WAN’S HORSE GIRL ARC

#I’ve never been more delighted by anything #obi wan has innate force animal handling skills and im LIVING #desperately need a fic where he has to win the big race on the most cringefail fathier in order to save the farm #meanwhile padme is in the background like ‘I can just comp the farm to these folks. I have basically unlimited money’ #and anakin is like ‘no leave him. he needs this.’

"warmup," and I use the term loosely, turned into Fathier Doodle Hours

I'm still trying to find a balance between the canon movie design and something I actually like the look/feel of without completely turning them into horsesand I think this veers a little close to the latter, but we're getting there. it'll be easier once I've got the 3D model rigged. right now my main refs are thoroughbreds and moose.

#fortunately the movie was very bad so nobody will care if I fly in the face of canon for these #idk why people shit on the fathier scene so much though it was like the least obnoxious thing in that movie #yeah it was stupid and corny but did nobody watch return of the jedi?? #star wars is at its heart 70s high fantasy it's a miracle it's taken this long for a horse movie interlude to happen #if they weren't cowards finn could have bonded with one and ridden that into battle in the next movie instead of the wooly thing #it would have been the most cohesion that trilogy had

I keep thinking I should make a little tutorial on retopo-ing a high poly mesh that's geared specifically toward cc makers, but on the other hand I almost entirely make stuff via box modeling and poly modeling and the only sculpt/retopo mesh I've done has been entirely unrelated to sims 4

#it's a fathier #I'm still working on her #but I wanted to try my hand at relative realism and working with fur

#look cathar are in subfamily felinae and have tails #and fathiers originate on korriban and were domesticated by the masassi #and twi'leks can safely consume most toxins and metabolize them to become temporarily poisonous #that's just how it is on this blog
