Dying Star

Atlas, 21 yo. Any pronouns. A blog for my Star Wars story for any notes, tidbits, snippets, spotlights, etc. Like a dying Star, the Republic burns bright before going out with a bang. Disclaimer, this story contains a fan made species called Ottaburas that are created by @sundownsquad, you can find all the info on their blog! Asks and constructive criticism are always open and welcome!

Don’t know if this blog is active anymore, but if it is I just wanna share some unfinished Otta designs I’ve done. Ottas are still near and dear to me and I have big plans

Hi!! They all look amazing, I love them! 😍 Such unique designs! And those tack designs are really cool too! Thanks so much for sharing with me! <33

And yup, still here! 😆 Just been super busy this last year. I'm still actively working on Sundown behind the scenes and should have new stuff to share in the near future. 👀

[tiwaenriel]

is there like a little pouch that can be attached to the belt or the kama on clone trooper armor, where datapads can be put inside?

Or can i just. invent that. for the sake of my fanfic

[cryptid-cat22]

Oh dammit this my new favorite one

[cryptid-cat22]

Some unfinished Ottabura ref sheets plus some rough ideas for tack. The Mandalorian clan my story will have these guys as mounts and companions, and these ones specifically will be part of the main herd. There will be more to come as I should make quite a few.

The Ottabura species was made @sundownsquad and have all the info plus the ref sheets on their blog! Much love!

Finally locking tf in. I've been wanting to get this story going for so long but never had the motivation and the site that I was originally using for the outline doesn't exist anymore so I lost so many notes and side characters that I cannot remember. But now I have a bit more solid ideas for how I want the story to go. I'll probably just infodump in a later post
