su’cuy, mando’ade. me'vaar ti gar? i'm a togruta mandalorian currently working on designing and building my armour. I like to design alien mandalorian helmets, and occasionally post them here.

Su’cuy! I’m Kar Vash’aal, and this is my Star Wars rp blog, where I design Mando-related stuff like armour. Here’re my tags:

#Kar’s designs - armour I’ve designed.

#Kar’s art - my art that isn’t blueprints or technical design.

#Kar’s refs - any stuff I’ve found that I find interesting for armour designs.

This blog is now sunset for personal reasons!

An Elomin helmet I designed for my partner. She wanted an assassin-style helmet, though I took some artistic liberties and added elements of the pilot and Ursa Wren’s buy’ce too.

This bucket was lots of fun to design, though I must say something about the earcaps is bothering me.

(Random details below)

The Elomin, though visually similar to the more populous Zabrak to the untrained eye, have a few key differences:

While only Zabrak males have a crown of horns, both male and female Elomin have four small horns, as well as two stubby tusks sprouting from the cheekbones.

An additional visual difference is that of the Elomin’s lack of facial markings, and dull skin tones. Zabrak males often feature brightly coloured skin with black markings all over their body, though Elomin skin only ranges from unmarked brownish red to orange.

I just love aliens :)

A Kessurian Mandalorian helmet I was commissioned for. This was a totally clean canvas, as before I’d never even heard of the Kessurians, though they’re definitely one of the most visually striking aliens out there.

The ‘wings’ on Ursa Wren’s helmet slide over the Kessurian’s montrals, and the elongated round earcaps allow for the race’s long ears.

This was a lot of fun to work on, and I’ll revisit it in the future for sure.
