ELI HAS A PRAISE KINK CONFIRMED

Thank you *v*

Don’t let big name or tumblr famous blogs who get like 500000000000000 notes get you down or keep you from doing your thing. 

Make your gifs. 

Write your fic. 

Post your artwork.

Share your poetry.

I guarantee you there’s someone out there that loves your gifs, loves seeing new fic from you, loves seeing new art from you, and loves reading new poetry from you. 

So the fuck what if you don’t have 5 bajillion notes? I know a lot of people lurk on tumblr, or don’t have accounts, or don’t post much, so really for every 5 notes you get, there’s at least maybe double…. triple….. quadruple that, that are reading. 

I know it’s frustrating, but keep doing your thing because there are people out there that love you and love your work. Never give up doing the things you love because you never know who’s watching that you might have an impact on. Your little blog might be the only thing that puts a smile on someone’s face. 

OBI-WAN KENOBI IS ALL OF US WHEN HE CAN’T THINK OF A GOOD RESPONSE UNTIL LATER THAT NIGHT DRIVING HOME IN HIS CAR…SERIOUSLY…WATCH THE VIDEO. YOU WON’T REGRET IT.

James Arnold Taylor discusses Obi-Wan Kenobi’s ability to resist the Dark Side… And somehow manages to make it so funny we can hardly keep it together 😂😂 I’ve been working on the edit for this episode and all I can say is it’s absolutely delightful!! Interviewing James was a dream come true and I think it shows in the final product. I can’t wait to share it with you. The episode drops Tuesday, May 9 on all major podcast players. The full video edit will be available to our Jedi Masters tier on Patreon. May the Force be with you, my friends 💜

Jedi council: How many kids do you have?

Obi-wan thinking about his disaster son-brother Anakin, His sort of daughter figure Ahsoka, His sort of love child Korkie : Biologically, Emotionally or legally?

💥🙌👏

It's time.

Another one of these since i haven't done it in a while! Sketch -> finished illustration

Thoughts & process below the cut :>

Out of Bounds: i deleted the sketch of this off my ipad because i didn't like it, and for months it only existed as a screenshot on discord. finally in january of this year i was like Wait Actually and decided to keep working on it. I didn't achieve the look I was going for (kind of foggy and vague. It came out too sharp and high contrast) but it was fun to throw the kitchen sink at it for an afternoon and then call it done finally. I don't remember which horse this was originally supposed to be, I think Macha?

I reused the pose, you'll find the same one in my Pascal sketchbook from the section on gait studies. That's the cool thing about doing 30 sketches at once, you can finish them up any time you like for a different drawing

The Fool ft Islin: the original concept for this is from [takes a moment to decipher the american date system on discord] January 2022

It wasn't dynamic enough, but I've had this on the backburner for sooo long. I think I completed like 4 cards in between this sketch and the final version lol. But, for a bit of background, this is from my series of major arcana based in Inver, and in particular the events of the 1860s-era book series, Moth Viper Foal (a demo of the first book, Said The Black Horse, is available for free/pwyw in my shop). This scene is a companion to Said The Black Horse, depicting the aftermath of the traumatic fight that caused Islin to storm off. He had been working at the mill as a semiprofessional back alley surgeon when he received an offer to join the church and work as a trained surgeon in their hospital. But when he brought the good news back to his friends it was met with utter rejection, driving him to basically run away to join the church. while gay and trans. thus the card.

he didn't actually bring a bag with him when he ran out but for the sake of the card i drew him with one

Gryfon and Pantera: This is how 99% of holy beast drawings start out, even the super stylised ones. I struggle a lot to draw them in procreate so they start in sai and then i transfer them over. The story of this is already explained in the caption of the original post so I'll just talk about the process which was... honestly torturous. I actually don't like too much textures and effects on things (wild, I know) and this one and Out of Bounds are ones where I kind of preferred it pre-texturising.

The text on the side is the official in-universe report of the event, detailing the casualties, the valiant actions of Gryfon's knight before he died and so on. There's also spoilers in there :>

My main struggle with this art style is how it always ends up slightly TOO sharp and crisp in a way the just a blur filter never can correct. There's not a lot of immersion to break, to be fair, but I think this still does it a little. I need to get more comfortable doing the lines with larger and softer brushes, and allowing imperfections.

i love the Thrawn section of sw fans because it’s very niche but also the fan content is top-tier
