“I’ve always wanted a dog.”

I’m prepping and writing out plans for the sequel to Far Past the Ring…and you know a certain Good Girl needs to be included.

And Bosmang Jim Holden would love her!

Quick doodle while waiting in between meetings. Never drawn a lurca hound before, it was interesting.

@eyecandyeoz @sued134 @cdblake1565 @perfectlywingedcrusade @supremechancellorrex @skellymom @thecoffeelorian and anyone else who enjoyed the crossover!

No Fox is CX2!

Fuck it I have no idea what's going on any more.

These parallels are beginning to terrify me but also prediction for finale: commander fox spawns on tantiss and shoots echo (I think it would be silly)

[talesfrommedinastation]

Yup. Right here.

"Truth is truth. How you deal with it, is up to you, bosmang."

My neurodivergent handsome brilliant prince got his happily ever after in my goofy assed mind.

Don't like it? Cool. There's the door.

whatever happens tech will always be alive to me

Honestly, my first reaction to this was:

We have yassified the silly bastard. Dang it!

But I feel with the 'unwhitewash' comments to be getting to be out of hand. Excellent point regarding Contrast Effect, when you slap white onto any background, it lightens everything, including skin.

I've received them too on my piece with Wrecker and Clarissa Mao: apparently Wrecker was too light, but Clarissa was fine?

Never mind Clarissa's actress is Filipina, and her skin tone is not too far off from Tem Morrison's. I literally copied the color from the actress to my sad Clip Art app. Of course the background's white. Ugh.

Eh, ya know what I should do?

Start screen shotting the nasty comments and send 'em to Redneck Neighbor Doug. He will come in blazing with hillbilly rage and sass for you! He LOVES YOUR WORK.

✨ EDMON RAMPART (Amalthia's Version) ✨ You know I once swore to never draw him, well that was of course before he got the James Norrington treatment so it's the Alexsandr Kallus Effect for me again. Talk about from fuck this man to I wanna fuck this man.

Teeny weeny fandom salt and salt in general coming up so if you don't like that, you can go scroll down. There used to be a cut here but I removed it. I will always be polite, but I know WHEN to talk.

From now on, I will be calling my fanart "Amalthia's version". I hope I don't come across as tone deaf or insensitive about this, but I wish I was good at art.

I've seen posts that say "I wish artists would stop drawing [character name] with [this] or [that]" or "stop drawing [character] with [this]". While it's great to hear about your preferences, please bear in mind that at the end of the day, fanart CAN BE an artist's take on a character. For me, THIS is how I draw Edmon Rampart. This is with regard to the art style I developed and the color palette that I constantly use to keep up with my blog's theme.

Another ick is an ongoing issue in the TBB fandom. In my Hunter and Omega art, I did something I don't usually do, which is add a secondary light source. A few minutes after posting, I got an anon telling me to unwhitewash the characters. I immediately messaged one of my friends for their honest opinion and they said I don't whitewash the characters. I went on to the drawing file and tried to study my own drawing and see if I really did whitewashed the characters. Edit: There really are some artists who whitewash the characters and I was trying to do a SELF-CHECK bec maybe I'm one of them.

I found out that the thing that made the difference is the secondary light source that I added. This secondary light source is lighter in color than their skin, and it created the Contrast Effect. Due to the nature of the human eye and visual processing by the brain, there's an optical illusion that the same color will look different depending on the color beside it and/or the background. It's in psychology class, paying attention would help.

In addition to the secondary light, it could also be the brown background color that caused this effect. And before anyone goes, "are you sure?" Yes, I am. I sat with a Psychology major to discuss about this whole Contract Effect thing.

This does not only apply in colors, it could also be to objects, that why they say all things are relative. One thing could appear bigger or smaller depending upon the object beside it. One of the things they 'check' to see if a certain artist whitewashed a character is the size of the nose. Once again, please do apply Contrast Effect. Some artist really draw their characters stick-like so try to compare all the noses they had drawn in their entire lifetimes and maybe, just maybe they did draw the noses wide in comparison to their other artworks, it just looks like that because it's part of their art style.

Edit: Please do try to analyze things first before casting down your judgement.

It's so difficult to be an artist AND IN THIS FANDOM. We never seem to be enough. If we do the character with artistic freedom, you'll say "stop drawing them like that bec they don't have that in the show" and when we try to draw them as close to the show, you'll say "unwhitewash the characters". We are never good enough for you.

So yeah, I wish I was good at this.

"And after hopelessly spending all that time looking for his clone captain he settles for continuously hiring Boba Fett because he is the closest Vader could ever come to hearing his last remaining friend’s voice again."

If there isn't a fic about this thought process, I will happily write it.

you know what though…Vader had no implicit reason to dislike the remaining clones in the galaxy, unlike a lot of the rest of the empire. in his mind, they were still his men. they helped him rid the galaxy of the Jedi (in his twisted mind he was ok with it being against their will as long as it served his, which is 😬) but imagine…

When Vader goes back for the 501st after the events of order 66 and revenge of the sith, Rex is absolutely no where to be found. He never returns from his mission on Mandalore. Neither does ahsoka.

We see at the end of the clone wars that Vader must’ve conducted some kind of search for them. That’s why he turns up on the moon where their ship crashed. In Ahsoka’s case, we should probably assume he was trying to hunt her down like the rest of the Jedi.

But in Rex’s case….Vader has no reason to suspect he would’ve “turned against him.” And now imagine him showing up on that moon and seeing the bodies of Torrent company buried in the snow, their helmets serving as grave markers for someone to mourn the loss of their individual lives. And Rex’s helmet just isn’t there.

Vader has to assume that Rex is the one who lived to bury his brothers.

And Vader very well might have spent the next hmm idk 30 years or so of his remaining life searching for maybe the only person that, in his mind, never betrayed him and was never his enemy (as far as he knew.)

And after hopelessly spending all that time looking for his clone captain he settles for continuously hiring Boba Fett because he is the closest Vader could ever come to hearing his last remaining friend’s voice again.

The fact that there's more Bobbie/Chrisjen smut on AO3 then Naomi/Camina smut does me a great concern.

Here's to all of us who took him and made him OUR OWN. I ain't crying cuz none of this shit happened to him in my head!

(Screenshot edit based on two shots combined to get a split diopter effect.)

Something about this scene gave me the chills.

How could she possibly know him?

For a split second I thought she knew him from Skako Minor.

Oh sweet Jesus, I'm more interested in hearing what others have to say then me!

My deranged Cajun neighbor's quasi-insulting descriptions of animated characters in a Disney franchise.

"Ryan-from-Accounting gets a blowey because the Artist Can't Say No to Horny Weirdos on Discord"

A bunch of rando ladies set a rando mountain on fire.

When Daddy Rambo meets Daddy Powerbottom.

Cloned men who are clones but not of each other go on a hot date with not clones in a garden.

Knock your wee socks off, @wrenkenstein @techs-stitches @ilikemymendarkandfictional @moosethren you're in one of these things!

Please tell me someone wrote out a piece over what made each one of these sweet babes so sad :(

Working on something big. So in the meantime enjoy a redraw of one of my old pieces. What’s more fun than sad children 😂

I need more practice with expressions, so I might even make more expression sheets.

He’d be Patrick and nagging them all to wear seatbelts while he himself was strapless and facing death with all the facial expressions of someone waiting in line at the post office.

I wish Echo had been with the Batch when Phee did her stealth approach.

Becauae while Hunter is panicking going 'PHEeEeEeEe' Echo would be up front going

Because he's seen Anakin's flying, heck, he's probably experienced it.

And no, I will not be clarifying which side of the gif he would be (because it's probably both).

When doesn't @cloned-eyes kill it? And your OC is so cute!

I have absolutely no words for how beautiful this picture came out! This right here is the comfort art I've been desperately needing since the end of season 2. I was lucky enough to snag a commission spot from cloned-eyes and it was 100% worth it.

Kixra and Tech's relationship (as well as her relationships with the other Bad Batch members) is purely platonic, but sometimes you just need a hug from your best friend.

Amazing art by @cloned-eyes !! You absolutely killed it!
