When Obi-wan Kenobi decided to remain on Coruscant, to protect and support the transfer of the most vulnerable out of the Empire's grasp, he never thought it would be permanent. He expected to be dead within the year. He's still not sure whether or not his luck has been a gift, or a sign that somehow the Force has something worse planned for him.

A quiet child and diligent padawan, Obi-wan suspects the remnants of the Council appointed him to be an experienced nodding head for younger survivors to follow. What they didn't know was of all of his regrets, none run deeper than the orders he followed in the war. When Yoda tried to close the curtain around the vestiges of the Order and draw them deeper into insularity, it was Obi-wan who suggested Bail Organa and later Padme Amidala. It was Obi-wan who created the system to find gifted children - of any age - before they could be taken into the Inquisitorius or the Hands.

He tries to keep mindful of the present, of padawans without masters, younglings who have known only threat of extermination their whole lives. The children who need instruction in how to trick a Stormtrooper more than they need to know the proper forms. But in the under-levels of the glittering, decaying megalopolis, sometimes it is his ghosts that feel like his only company.

I tried to make this happier but then the trio were involved and that was the end of that. (I keep trying not to make the text so long ah whoops).I think what I like so much about AUs is that somewhere in the twisted reflection of what might have happened you get to hint at the parts you liked best in the first place, in a context that strips away what that grew dull with familiarity.

Might take a break from this after the next one to do the color palette suggestions I've got in my inbox that I promise I didn't forget about. It's still open if anyone wants to put more in there, too.

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!

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.

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.

Either the precursor to this previous set or a direct result of the decisions made in it.

(The soft-shaded style with lines was supposed to be a faster style than my usual one what happened?)

Hey Star Wars, Marvel, and Game of Thrones/ASoIaF fans - I want some  super gross laughter or tears AU or scene suggestions to draw. (Especially Star Wars)

If you have any ideas you'd like to see drawn, or even just want to throw stuff at me my ask is here, pretty please! I'm really bad at ideas.
