Paint over of Wesley Burt’s concept art for Loki. I’ve been reading a lot of jotun!Loki fics again and it’s such a shame we only see his frost giant form properly once in the films. The fact that Loki is of Jotunheim never being explored is crazy, so much lost potential there. I’m hanging onto that cameo of a Jotun Loki in the Loki series with a steel grip. I thought these concept pieces of Loki would look dashing against Jotun blue skin. I love the concept of Loki in frost giant form having natural horns. Non-horned version below!
A wayward Jedi temple guard fighting for the light of the Galactic Republic. Jaïr was a fair and strong general, beloved by her battalion for her golden attitude despite the trials of war. Trained by Rui Aetion [the future Grand Inquisitor], Jaïr was highly involved in the trial of Ahsoka Tano. Jaïr retrieved vital evidence helping Padmé Amidala construct a case for Ashoka’s innocence. After Ahsoka’s acquittal, Jaïr was once again asked to don the mask of a temple guard once more.
When Anakin Skywalker stormed the Jedi temple on Coruscant during Order 66, Jaïr tried to reason with him once more, and pull him back to the light, but it was in vain. In her final act, Jaïr helped smuggle youngling from the temple, including Grogu, before succumbing to her wound as dawn broke the next morning.
Individuals who have purchased physical copies and reside outside of the United States will receive an automated email with tracking information!
Remember, every physical package comes with a complimentary digital zine copy. Those will arrive in a separate email from the mod team. If you just ordered a digital package, we'll send those out as well.
For our US shoppers, don't worry! Those orders will be shipped in the next couple days, but we will send out the digital copies in tandem with the international orders.
Everyone, the time has finally come! We can't thank you enough for your endless patience with this project. It has been a long time coming, but it is well worth the wait! We are so proud of not only the hard work from our contributors and our mod team, but also the money we raised thanks to you!
Please keep an eye out for future announcements as we will be re-opening the shop for anyone who may have missed the pre-ordering window! And, after all sales are finalized, we will share how much is donated!
Edit to add: we are holding onto our Canada orders and will reach out to everyone to ask if you'd like us to hang onto them until the strike ends or ship regardless.
Gaia’voshi Lepardeo was born on a distant agriworld (agricultural world) in the outerrim. Her parents, Teshi Lepardeo and Rocia’ser Tamasa’ser, were ‘high school’ sweethearts and from the same farming village. The world they live in was once green and rich, but due to over farming of resources and changes in the planetary system, the land had become barren and dead for generations, leaving her family and community in deep poverty.
Gaia’s mother inherited her families farm after Gaia’s grandfather’s passing. When Gaia was 12, her parents had finally saved enough credits to move to Alderaan where they purchased land for a farm.
Gaia grew up in what I can only equate to the country of star wars with both her parents and maternal grandmother. She helped her father and the farm hands on the family farm, where they grew various crops and raised many different animals. Including taking in rescues, but Alderaan native species and stowaways from cargo ships (which is how she got Leto). Her mother and grandmother had a fibers buisness where they made anything from household goods like table cloths to tapestries and shawls. Gaia was able to attend one of the more prestigious schools in the larger city through a program to support lesser communities. Through this school, she earned her scholarships to study film. She spent most of her college years traveling abroad and studying on Naboo, Coruscant, and plants within the inner rim. The clone wars began around her senior year, and she essentially dropped out of college to document the clone wars.
Aro Rua Ris has an autoimmune disease, Seris-Reinn Syndrome, that has afflicted him his whole life. This rare genetic disease is specific to Twi’lek’s, but can occur in people of Twi’lek descent. For Aro Rua, it was passed down from his mother’s side, with his mother, Adrra Meyda, being unaffected. However, Aro Rua’s maternal grandfather had SRS.
Not much is known about SRS as it can be incredibly hard to diagnose with many symptoms often mistaken as other conditions. SRS is most common in males than females. Depending on the severity of how affected an individual is, symptoms can be apparent from as young as the age of two, but more commonly flairs in teen years during puberty.
Aro Rua began experiencing SRS symptoms at a young age, causing him to spend much time at the healers during his youngling and padawan years. Due to this, Aro Rua was nearly pulled from the Jedi Knight path and heavily encouraged to pursue a less physical demanding path instead. During the Clone Wars, Aro’s flairs worsened due to the increase of stress on his mind and body. Aro Rua wasn’t officially diagnosed until his late 20’s while fighting for the Rebellion.

Wraps
Aro Rua’s lekku wraps help mitigate his chronic illness symptoms. These wraps help with nerve pain, over sensitivity, swelling, headaches, blood pressure and regulating his body temperature. There are three main types of lekku wraps Aro Rua uses:
Compression sleeves are typically one or two pieces and cover the whole lekku. These are great for muscle and nerve pain, swelling and blood pressure.
Traditional wraps are made from a soft and flexible material. These wraps help with support, pain and neck tension.
Padded wraps/sleeves can range in shape and material. Typically these wraps are thicker and can be used alone or layered with other types of wraps. These wraps help with body temperature, desensitization, and overall comfort or protection.
