Lineart - “Kicker” OC Mandalorian character concept
View the speedpaint for this drawing here.
I’ve been meaning to draw the boys from the Trask covert in my fanfic, Travel Buddies, for some time. Finally got him down on (digital) paper today!
he’s a blue twi’lek with a lot of good humor and a healthy dose of mischief, and a pinch of chaos
First time I’ve tried drawing his armor, and I’m actually pleased i managed to make it look more or less cohesive. Lots ot tweak yet, but he’s my tanky boi.
his helmet is actually my favorite thing; in my book, i write descriptions for armor worn by other species, and i had fun figuring out how a Twi’lek would get a covering mando helmet. I opted for a flexible beskar fabric cover that drapes over them from behind.
a cheaper one would be durasteel i suppose? Kicker has Beskar armor though, he’s part of the elite task force that—okay no that’s spoilers anyways
Twi’lek armor is expensive, yo

The two week trip
We spent two weeks in a truck driving through California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada. It was great. We had fun. We travel so well together. We spent a lot of time together. And maybe during that time we should have had more conversations about our relationship.
While in Oregon she was going to tell me she was on the dating apps, but I thought she was going to tell me something else and I deferred the conversation for a time when we didn’t need to have our game face on for friends, family, and potential accounts.
There was one really difficult conversation we had on that trip that got heated and hard feelings were had. We had just been visiting a friend in Montana. Let’s call her Queen Bee. We’ve known her for a long time and she is lovely. Talented, good, sexy, enthusiastic, smart. We love her, but I’m not always so sure she loves me.
She has a succinct description for all people she introduces us to. “He’s a great musician, smart guy, but he has a big mouth.” “She’s so delightful, and fashionable with an unexpectedly dark sense of humor.” I expect she would describe me as, “She makes good jam, sings pretty well, but she’s a little stupid.”
There were two conversations I had with Queen Bee, where I just wanted to stop talking to her and leave. I felt so stupid and I also thought she might be angry with me. She had an edge to her voice, like a warning, like violence, like she regretted spending time with me. And in huge contrast to how she greeted us when we walked in her door. “Welcome, i’ve missed you, i love you.”
She does not make W feel this way. And while I was trying to tell W how I felt, it came off as, “well, that’s your problem, isn’t it?” How I feel is my problem. My insecurity about how Queen feels about me is my problem.
Honestly, W will sometimes talk to me in a similar way. It’s blunt and to the point and direct. I like all those things, but it’s also careless. It isn’t kind. It isn’t gentle. It isn’t loving. We’ve had conversations about it in the past. She talks to me like her old coworkers at the megacorp that started with online book sales. That’s not how you should talk to your wife. But she insists that with me she shouldn’t have to police her words and her tone. Why not? I’m already doubting that she loves me and every ill chosen word or tone is another reason for me to doubt. Daily communication is a way she can show me she cares. Being careful with her words is another opportunity to say she loves me without using those words.
Doesn’t she remember that she loves me? Does she love me?
Of course, she does. I got covid on the end of this trip and she took excellent care of me. She didn't get covid.
How did I get it but she did not? If we were more affectionate with each other, maybe she would have.
