Just one more proof that Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano are 100% siblings--
Anakin to Ahsoka: I would never let anyone hurt you, Ahsoka. Vader to Ahsoka: Then you will die.
Ultimate sibling dynamic right there, just a more extreme take on the old nobody gets to hurt my sibling but me!
Well, the writing muse is currently sulking in a corner and tearing out her hair, but the art muse has been feeling extremely chatty!
This is the first part of an intended 4-or-so panel series/comic strip, featuring Ahsoka and Starkiller as Rebels—and yes, they are 100% sending this pic to Vader as a postcard. Hi Master, wish you were here!
Did this one by sketching out one figure from a reference photo, then putting a pic of the sketch into Krita. Copied the outline, then used a colorize mask (ooh, fancy! literally had no idea this was even a thing a week ago, smh), added shading, extra outlining, and background.
Many thanks to the random redditor who mentioned making just one block with the rectangular select tool in Krita and then copying it multiple times to make a stone/brick wall. It makes life so much easier.
The Fulcrum + jaig eyes design in the graffiti is not entirely mine. Ages ago I saw a similar design while scrolling Pinterest, and later decided I wanted to make my own version as part of a 501 design.
If anyone has read this far and knows of any good Ahsoka & Starkiller fics, please share! I didn't find much of anything on AO3, but would love to see people's takes on how they might get along.
One of the trickier things I've had to decide for Fortune's Rule is how Vader should address the clones who are still in the Imperial 501st. Although I was tempted to have him use their names, I ended up having him call them by their CC/CT numbers. It still feels weird and clunky, but it seemed like maybe he would actually do that because Anakin would of course refer to the clones by name. So, in distancing himself from his life as Anakin Skywalker, Vader might deliberately choose to do the un-Anakin-like thing and call the clones by their numbers.
Art #2 for the Vaderkin Creative Exchange 2024, for @unlikecharlie, same prompt as for art #1. (It was a fun one, what can I say?)
Done in alcohol marker and Pigma pen on mixed media paper, with some colored pencil on top for texture and subtler shading.
In hindsight, maybe I should have put the pair in the Room of a Thousand Fountains or something. (Was dying to get to the coloring step as I did the initial pencil sketch, and then I got there. And realised it was all. brown. and tan. Whoops!) Although, I do like how the two blue lightsabers stand out against all the blandness.
References were a TotJ scene with Ahsoka in the Temple training room, and a pic of Kit Fisto from the Legends Form I page on Wookieepedia.

OMG, as someone started out reading fanfic on AO3, a foray into FFN is just plain nerve wracking.
Like, I have no idea whether this story I just started is a fix-it (which I want), or whether it's going to turn out canon compliant. What if there's an MCD?
There's literally no to way to know except sneaking a look at the end of the story, or maybe the comments, and I don't want to do that and spoil it, in case it really is a fix-it! Because while it would be good to know that everything turns out okay, I don't want the all the details, ya know?
How the heck did anyone survive before AO3?
Update: YEP, stayed up till midnight just to get burned by MCD. 😭 FFN, why.
The final chapter of Part II, in which Vader's hope and Ahsoka's fear are confirmed, and Padmé realises the truth about her Imperial contact.
Midnight fluff-drawing strikes again!
I used an old picture of a WWII soldier and a kid as a reference for this one (see below). I cheated a little by using Krita to create a basic sketch directly over the photo. Then I used that sketch as a reference for the actual drawing, which I did freehand on paper and colored using alcohol marker, with the addition of colored pencil for some depth and texture.
If you value anything you see around you, any of your brethren, if you love your padawan as I know you do—tell him.
The ghost of Ben Kenobi sees fit to meddle in the past, and Obi-Wan, about to leave for Utapau to face Grievous, suddenly feels a strange certainty that all is not well with his former padawan. Conversations ensue, secrets come to light, and his relationship with Anakin will never be the same. But that might just be a very good thing, indeed.
Happy New year!! Hope you made it through grad school applications! Looking forward to that crazy call in FR! Cheers!
Happy very belated new year! I did make it through applications, with a couple acceptances, and am now just hoping the funding holds! And I am pleased to announce that the new chapter in Fortune's Rule is finally posted!
Hope you are taking care! Eagerly awaiting your next chapter!! 🙏🏽🙌🏽❤️
Hi! Sorry! Work/life in general have been keeping me busy lately, but the next chapter is almost done (hoping to have it out tonight or tomorrow) :)
Thanks for your message; it's helped to motivate me to keep chipping away when the chapter is being stubborn! 💛💛💛
A hodgepodge of things relating to Fortune's Rule, my Star Wars fix-it fic: behind-the-scenes-type writing stuff, maybe some sneak-peekish bits, art that may or may not make it into the story, and thoughts and questions about the SW universe. Plus, probably, some memes and other random stuff as well!
