Quick drawing to work out Mara Jade's "look" post-timeskip/Return of the Jedi for my Mara Jade centered fic I wanna write soon 👀

Not quite sold on her grown up look yet, I love her hair here but I'm not sure I'll keep it like this? It's giving "Dying Centipede" which somehow feels fitting for an emperor's hand who is grappling with the sudden death/absence of the emperor but maybe that's just me lol. Also it has a distinct kinda 80s vibe to me which also fits. But idk still deciding.

I suppose it doesn't quiet matter since it's for a fic but I do want to illustrate this story in parts so it matters to me lol

here's art of her when she was a teen, prior to the events of A New Hope :)c

Fic summary: A few years prior to the events of A New Hope, a young woman named Mara Jade, under the guise of a unimportant Imperial recruit, leads an special operation to Tatooine to hunt down any remaining Jedi that may be hiding on the planet.

While there, she meets and befriends a young man her age named Luke, who sparks the first seed of change in Mara's loyalty towards the Empire.

Aka if I were to ever write a Mara Jade centered fic that takes place in the new canon,, where Mara is masquerading as your average child solder on Tatooine, but secretly the leader of her squad/operation, and Luke is the '"dorky farm boy" (her words) who is "kinda cute" (Again, her words) that she befriends and kinda falls for,,

More to story than just that lol, and it would take place both when Luke and Mara are around 15/16 or so, and then the story would pick up again later after the events of the Return of the Jedi :)

anyway, just a silly fic idea of mine haha

some little quick painting practice with Rey to wind down for the night 💖 (didn't think to record until partway tho)

I'm hoping to start posting more Star Wars fanart to this blog but I still have to catch up on a lot of the new content/shows--tho I still refuse to watch Rise of Skywalker lmao

as i catch up on the Mandalorian season 1 I decided to doodle my Star Wars/The Mandalorian oc (for a fanfic I would write if I knew enough about star wars called “The Last Duchess”). I’m still coming up with her story but she’s either going to be the secret, illegitimate daughter of Duchess Satine of Mandalore (in this scenario she would have been put into some sort of “sleep” that would have kept her from aging) or she’s the child of a secret/illegitimate child of Duchess Satine, and was raised in captivity by the empire. Anyway, in my head the Mandalorian and co. discover a transport ship of the Empire’s secretly transporting a “treasure of Mandalore” and they go to steal it thinking it’s beskar steel or something only to find her--she joins their crew but is “somewhat” of a liability since she’s completely naive about the galaxy and how it works and also a bit defenseless... until she discovers that, like baby Yoda, she has the force... thanks to not only being a descendant of Satine but also Obi-Wan Kenobi (from their youth). Anyway.. probably won’t write the story bc I don’t think I know enough star wars lore to be allowed to write a sw fanfic Lol but i enjoy thinking about it :)

had a dream the other night that they made a live action companion (?) show to the mandalorian that took place at the same time but focused on luke, han and leia and luke’s love interest was this crime boss lady and most of what i remember of the dream was her being 130% Extra All The Time but I also distinctly remember at one point her asking luke “So...what does a girl have to do to get you into one of those gold bikinis?” 😂

it seemed only fitting that my first post to this blog should be a sketch of Padmé considering the name of the blog 🤗This was a sketch that I decided to scan and color 😊
