MandoMarch 26 first prompt - Mandalorian Gods OR The Ka'ra Calls “I'm not sorry we fought.”

I decided to participare in #MandoMarch26 by @mandomarch, and this time, I'm taking you all along for the process! This is the thumbnail stage, and I'll be making one of these into a full illustration to replace the desktop wallpaper I'm currently using.

I'm trending between #5 and #6 because I like the way the galactic chessboard hovers over my OC Mava's head. My husband sasy #2 or #5. Feel free to comment, but respect that the choice is mine in the end.

The first prompt gave me some issues, so I and my husband bounced some ideas off each other. He brought up the phrase "chess game of the Gods", and I ran with it like a toddler that got hold of the scissors.

In case the thumbnails are unclear: The base idea is Mava (Miraluka Mandalorian Knight, I play a version of her in SWTOR) sitting on a mountain, looking up at the sky. Over her head is the Galaxy with the lines of a Dejaric board overlayed. The War and Sloth Gods are placing markers, while the Trickster God throws a die. The base idea is that she's having a vision of changes/ challenges to come (the events of the Galactic War).

The next post will be the sketch based on the thumbnail I end up picking. I may not be able to finish a picture a week. The plan is to focus on each prompt for a week, post my progress, see how far I get. What does not get finished I'll finish in April.

Wings or no wings, any preferences?

My entry for a Mad Tea Party themed collab over on Instagram. The host drew the background for the group picture, so I'm only sharing my OC.

Of course, I had to draw Blue for this one, dressed up as a Steampunk/ Soft Goth Hatter. I had a lot of fun designing her outfit. She's supposed to shily approach the party, leaning forward for a better look. Her wings steal the show, as always.

The Ke’skaar - also known as the Kalevalan Eagle

Bird native to the planet of Kalevala, its name translates to “blue beskar bird”, named as such due to its coloration and its claws, which are strong enough to scratch armor like a beskar dagger.

It is used as a symbol by Clan Kryze (just the clan, not the house) and still to this day the Ke’skaar is the animal companion of many Kryzes on Kalevala.

Last ArtFight Attack of 2025!

This is Vera'or Cadera, for GoatCheesie on ArtFight.

I'm currently a little obsessed with Star Wars, so I wanted to attack at least one Star Wars OC. I liked Vera'or's design when she popped up in the Tag Search, so her it was.

This took over two weeks, and over 20 hours of drawing time. My life is a mess currently.

Fun Facts: 1. I misread her name as "Ver'alor" more than once. Thought she was a Clanhead's daughter because of that. 2. Mandalorian-Style armor is still hard to draw. This is the 4th time I drew some, and the second time I drew a helmet. 3. The city (which is not supposed to be any specific place) was only supposed to be a silhouette. I just... kept adding to it. 4. I was going for a "moving out for battle" vibe - she's supposed to be putting the helmet on.

All in all, I enjoyed working on this. I hope to get more than two attacks done for ArtFight 2026. Also, if anyone wants to trade art of Star Wars OCs, I'd be open to it. Just need to finish my ref sheets.

Just realized I confused "Ven" and "Ver" again. "Ver'alor" would be lieutenant, not "future leader". Why can't I keep those two syllables apart?

First ArtFight Attack of 2025!

Technically, it's a revenge for a 2024 attack I didn't get around to doing last year. This is PsychicduelistRBD's character Indra Rosethorn.

I had fun drawing her. On to the next one! I hope life stops doing what it's been doing the past two weeks and I get to get these out faster.

My OC Blue as a Pokemon trainer.

This was supposed to be for an OC x Pokémon collab. I missed the deadline - by two weeks T.T. Still finished it, of course.

Blue usually has wings. For this, I gave her a Vivillon variant based on a Blue Morpho butterfly. She's a fairy type trainer, and I loved designing her outfit for this.

I tried my hand at cel shade once more. I randomly do that once a year. Need to do it more often. Cel shade somehow demands more patience, and a steadier hand, than my usual more painted/ blended rendering style. Even though it is faster. Make it make sense, please.

Some eye-candy for all of you <3 My OC Sheri once more, taking a break during a workout session. I drew her once before earlier this year, with her girlfirend Jes. This was done for the "Muscular Women" collab on Instagram. Sheri is one of my Star Wars OCs - the only one I have current full-body art for. She's also the first full Star Wars OC that's not force-sensitive - my previous ones were all Jedi or Sith. Yes, Sheri is that buff. It's just not noticeable when she's fully dressed. I'm currently working on a character sheet for her, which may include a lore dump. I play the current incarnation of Sheri in a Star Wars TTRPG campaign that takes place in the Clone Wars Era. She was originally conceived and designed in 2015 or 2016 for another Star Wars TTRPG campaign that wasn't to be. My spouse, who DMs, told me I could use her for the new one, which started in early 2024 and is currently on hiatus.

I was unsure if I even want to post this one - I don't draw men often. This is Rurethil's on-again off-again lover. He oficially goes by Mekaisto. Mekaisto's a rogue, and like Rurethil, he's not quite what he seems to be. He's the father of Myka, one of Rurethil's three daughters. Their relationship is complicated, not least because Mekaisto's mother is vehemently against it. Mekaisto is torn between what his heart wants, a life with Rurethil, the outcast, and his loyalty to his powerful mother. He works as his mother's problem-solver, doing assignments she can never officially acgnowledge, for fear of her reputation. Mekaisto himself has a temper, and he and Rurethil fight often. He feels like an outcast in his own family because of the secrecy required of him, desperatly wanting someone to accept him as he is and to understand him. He also wants for Rurethil and his mother to make peace - a seemingly unattainable goal. Mekaisto swore himself to the "problem solver"/ personal assassin role before he could fully understand what that would mean for his long, long life. He regrets it now, but feels compelled to honor his commitment.

The song "Hand of Sorrow" by Within Temptation is my theme song for him.

I've been re-watching "Rebels" lately and fell in love with Sabine all over again. She's just so cool!

I thought I'd be immune to it on a re-watch, but certain scenes had me bawl like a baby.

The idea of her spray-painting the camera came to me under the shower. I'm surprised I couldn't find any fanart of her doing that, to be honest.

It took me forever to get her chestplate right. And her paint gun. And of course I had to do a version with the helmet. Even though she seems very averse to keeping it on. She's Din Djarin's opposite, in that regard. Seriously, she takes it off in situations where it should DEFINITELY stay on. Not to speak of her losing the helmet md-battle sometimes. I thought these sealed to the suit?

This is currently my wallpaper. One of the benefits of being an artist is that you can draw your own.

Late entry to a 600 follower DTIYS on Insta. I like the OC's design, and this was fun to draw.

The balloons were part of the prompt, so I did include them. In my mind, she's preparing for a party.

I tried something new, and added a paper texture to the finished piece. I don't know how I feel about the effect yet.

Sheri's heart took a leap of joy the moment she spotted Jess waiting in their usual spot. At first glance, she looked unharmed, her white cuirass just a little scorched.

Jess looked up almost immediately, as if sensing the blonde woman's presence. Her face lit up. "Sheri", she whispered.

Sheri strode towards the taller woman, hiding her relief behind her usual confident stride. Jess leaned in, expecting a kiss. Sheri responded by resting her forehead against her lover's.

"You ALWAYS do that", Jess commented with slight exasperation. Sheri just smiled, tilting up her head and giving her beloved the kiss she had been waiting for.

This took a long time to do. Profiles are hard.

A random poem I wrote after hearing the phrase "beware the hawks of vengeance" from my DM/ spouse before the hiatus of that TTRPG campaign. Make of it what you will.

Beware the Hawk of vengeance Beware his Shriek at dusk For when the Hawk descends He’ll leave you but a husk

Beware the Night-time shadow Beware her silent flight For to hunt and kill you The Owl does not need light

Beware the deepest snowdrift Beware the darkest cave For both, they hide the hunters This mountain be your grave

Beware the silver flute Its sweet, sharp melody In the hands of the piper It is your eulogy

Beware the lush, green forests Beware the desert sands For those unwelcome here Find death by many hands

Beware the forts and wilds Do not seek treasure there Enemies or outsiders Find only death and fear

How to use groups as an artist, writer, or any other creator:

You can join as many groups as you’d like, they’re fantastic for growing your blog and getting your works out there (honestly one of the best features tumblr has added since DM’s) But I’ve seen a lot of people a little confused on how to properly use them.

When you join a group an icon appears at the bottom tab, clicking on it brings you to a dashboard that is a reverse chronological feed of what people post in these groups. In the right hand tab you can click on each group to see it specifically (when on a group page there is a mute button in the top right hand corner).

When it comes to sharing your posts in groups I’ve seen a lot of people manually going into each group and making the same post again and again, in an attempt to share their artwork or fic to as many groups as they can.

You don’t have to do this, there is a cross posting function.

Repeat for all the groups you’d like to share your post in.

(I would appreciate the reblog as I’ve talked with several other writers and artists on tumblr and they’ve all seems rather confused on how to use groups)

May the 4th be with you!

I'm currently re-watching Clone Wars, and Ahsoka is one of my favorite characters. So, I decided to do a portrait of her for this year's Star Wars day.

She has so much attitude, and I love her character arc.
