Sorry About All The Posts Of Studies Lately, I'm Trying To Keep Myself Accountable And Motivated.

Sorry about all the posts of studies lately, I'm trying to keep myself accountable and motivated.

For || Royo || on Gaia.

Oh my god thank you so much. ヽ(◕△◕)ノ  Painty details are pretty much what I like doing best, but it may take hours of doing actual structural stuff underneath before I can get to them. The hardest thing is holding myself back from trying to do them the whole time, or else I'd just have a really sparkly rendered stick figure.

I usually forget to take screencaps for progress in the first place, but whenever I look at them I realize my errors (especially the perspective ones) are more obvious under the polish and fear posting them.

But here, have what a giant mess this looked like at several points!

Thank you for the repost! I love seeing appreciation. But I'm sorry you feel so strongly as to reblog it without clicking the link to go to the tumblr write-up that was on the deviantART explaining why I see Revan as female.

It's still here, if you'd like to see why I choose to portray Revan as female whenever I do kotor fanart. If you don't care that's understandable, but please don't correct me without knowing or caring, because a painting that takes more than 20 hours is rarely something I make founded on total ignorance. And while I appreciate critiques on things like perspective or composition, I'm not as fond of receiving the same on my subject matter. As an amateur and a hobbyist, subject matter is 100% the reason I paint, and unlike technique it's not something I can or will choose to please other people.

The Life I’ve Chose by Kaiser-chan

Simple mistake, Revan is canonically male not female, while the Outcast is canonically female.

The Empire begins 10-12 years earlier. The siege of Naboo escalates rapidly, provoking the onset of the Clone Wars instead. Order 66 comes 7 years early, the Jedi better prepared for the deceit. Mace Windu survives the battle with Palpatine to warn the rest, leading to greater survival for the whole. And in the underlevels of Coruscant, the Council-in-exile seek liasons with what will become the Rebel Alliance.

A less naive Padme Amidala finds she can no longer hide from the atrocities committed in the name of retaliation for her people, and takes her place in the Imperial court.

And in the turmoil of all the war, the clones, and the billions of deaths that ensued, a former padawan had no room for a learner of his own - and a former slave no place within the Jedi Order.

I can't get this idea out of my head, so there are definitely going to be more of these. (It's a combination of the trio with something more Dark Times and an excuse to draw a lot of costume porn, how can I resist myself)

A ward of the state, lost among the war-orphans, the then-Chancellor was the only fixture in Anakin's life after he won his freedom. Caught in the undertow of death and destruction, by the time the young Queen attempted to look into the whereabouts of the peculiar little boy he was already gone - a file lost in an overwhelmed system. Once the Jedi were hunted like animals across the stars, the path for Obi-wan to follow his master's dying directive became closed to him. 

Anakin's usefulness ended along with his destruction of the droid control ship. No credits, no home, and no friends  on Coruscant - who could refuse Palpatine's generosity where it came? And it came - first in gifts of education: manuals and texts, time spent paying attention to a child no one else seemed interested in. Later, with holocrons, to be their little secret.

The Jedi, who had abandoned him, were scattered across the galaxy - dead, dying. The only place he'd ever called home was  a thousand star systems away. If he had any reservations at all when Palpatine invited him to live in the Palace and took over his education personally - when his only friend revealed himself as the Dark Lord of the Sith and his intentions for the young disciple - what other options had there ever been?

I didn't really expect the response the first part of this got - oh my god thank you everyone. (I'm so bad at expressing this sort of thing but inside I was just rolling around happily). Getting to my favorite pouty Dark Lord.  (⊙‿⊙✿) Padme's really the hero here, but he isn't any good at staying out of her life.
