Turned everything in. Officially FUNemployed.

But since I made the decision, I’ve felt lighter. I sleep better. The chest pains have stopped.

I’m sad, but I’ll be happier.

Life update: I quit my job.

Now we see how this goes.

Admiring the moment

[wild-karrde]

There is no secret or some hidden knowledge that Jedi were created under the heavy influence of Japanese samurai culture. Space warriors, servants of the government and state. And I had a thought “What if make designs more eastern influenced and still GFFA ’ There is result.

No Man Left Behind / Something Worth Dying For

REQUESTS / BLOG EVENT

Request from @razzbberry - Palette #1 - Alpha-17, Cody - Death of the Cynic in Me

Notes and close-ups beneath the cut!

Notes: I think Seventeen would, both subconsciously and consciously, keep his cynicism as long as possible. It’s how he thinks the world works, but it’s also a survival tool. It’d be a very, very slow death.

It’s put to the test with Cody — not because Cody is special among his fellow clones, but because he’s one of the first that bothers to fight Seventeen on his own terms. The argument is always the same. Cody wants to talk about what he hopes to be, someday, after he is a soldier. Seventeen thinks he’s stupid to think that’s possible, or that he’d be capable. Cody knows it, and he, might not be. Seventeen thinks it’s even more stupid, in that case; what a waste of energy.

It develops. When they’re older, and in the thick of war, one day Cody risks his life for the chance to save a brother that was going to die anyway. Seventeen yells at him for fifteen minutes once he’s conscious about luck and stupidity and the trouble it’s causing Seventeen and the false hope it’s engendering in others. Cody says he can disagree all he likes, but he doesn’t give a fig, respectfully. Seventeen thinks Cody can go try to get blown up again, if he thinks so.

There’s no point fighting for a better tomorrow; they’re bought and paid for to fight for something else, FOR someone else. Seventeen is prepared for being fodder, as a result. He’s prepared for unfairness and the bleak life that they’re living. Instead he watches as Cody defeats odds time and time again, somehow managing to balance being an exceptional military leader with a secondary war to live for something more, running himself ragged and — inexplicably — gaining ground. Each of those little victories are a little death for Seventeen’s cynicism; a chipping away. A little seed of Cody’s brand of hope takes root, awkward and begrudging, fond and tentative.

Then Order 66 happens. Cody’s efforts for a better life are in vain, and Cody himself-

Cody may never know that Seventeen was right abut just how helpless they were. Now he only knows that Seventeen is a traitor, apparently, because Seventeen — for once in his life — was the lucky one and his chip malfunctioned.

And Seventeen could say ‘I told you so’. He could rest, vindicated and resigned, in the fact that every dream Cody built up and everything he thought was worth dying for is pointless, now — as he always suspected it would be.

But it isn’t fair, even by Seventeen’s standards.

“What are you doing,” Rex will rasp, caught in a strange role reversal as Seventeen paints an armor set with Cody’s golden colors. “He’s not coming back, Seventeen. He can’t. It’s pointless to keep going after him, you need to stop.”

“No,” Seventeen will answer, unbothered, “I don’t think I will.”

“We can’t — we can’t keep hoping,” Rex says, because he means he will probably have a breakdown if he imagines there is even a pitiful possibility he could save his brothers and then have to turn away from that scrappy chance for the greater good and Rebellion, and all that. “We’ve got to move on.”

“Go on.” Seventeen will invite sincerely, one brow raised because he knows Rex better than that.

“Do you want him to shoot you?” Rex will finally yell, all knotted up at the thought of losing Seventeen too, even though it’s funny because Seventeen was never kind to Rex.

“He can try,” Seventeen will say, touching up the last of the paint. He will stand, wiping his fingers, and pick up his pack. “See you when we get back, then.”

Now Introducing Art Commissions!

Details below the cut!

A little more info about each:

Basic Sketch (left photo) is just line work and color (if desired). This will be no rendering, so just flat colors without shading or highlights.

Partial Body (middle photo) will be from the hips/waist up with full rendering (shading and highlights included.)

Full Body, Rendered (right photo) will include the entire body or at least to the knee area. This will have full rendering highlights and shading included.

All pricing is for one character. Additional characters will be $10 each per added character.

OCs are absolutely welcome! I just ask you provide me with a reference, so I can best match what your oc looks like to you ☺️. I can work with you to find a match if you don’t have one.

I love drawing Star Wars most, so that is my preference for now. Again, I can work with you if you have another fandom you’d like me to do work for. I will need references if this is the case.

I can also design fic headers or other blog graphics. These will be in the $5-$10 range depending on how complex the graphic is.

Pricing will most likely be through ko-fi, patreon or PayPal. I can work with you if you have another preferred payment site!

At this time I will not yet be offering any NSFW art.

Other things I will not draw are mentioned above. For additional info please reference the DNIs on my masterlist. I maintain the right to refuse any commission.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me through this tough time. Purchasing a commission from me will go a long way toward helping me pay for groceries and any student loans I owe. Helping me stay sane and make ends meet will mean more to me than you could ever know and I am so lucky to have a community who cares and believes in me.

Love you all💙
