A companion piece to my baby Jango Concord Dawn festival garb concept + two unfinished Bodie Taylor Alpha-class ARC trooper cadet sketches, a concept for Jaster’s stinky old farm strill (tentatively named Ijaat), a baby Jaster doodle, and an unfinished doodle of Jango while he was enslaved.
I wanted to design a ‘Mand’alor’ version of Baby Jango’s traditional face paint. The pattern on his nose represents mythosaur scales, the jaig eyes represent courage in the face of adversity, the green paint represents his duty to his people, the red paint honors Jaster/his birth family/ancestors & the past, and the white paint represents a new start and the future of his people, and the rest represents the face of a buy’ce.
I made a clone wars timeline to combine all of canon and legends into one cohesive and somewhat manageable timeline, mainly for fanfic and ttrpg purposes but I thought people might like it, it has a full workout of the galactic standard calendar and has precise(ish) dates for events (mainly republic commando) but I want as many people as possible to be able to see it and hopefully enjoy it

Every battle, every siege, every mission, all in one timeline.
Where the Kaminioans find out early that Palpatine is planning to eventually betray them. Before order 66 they secretly swap the codes for order 66 and order 65 around without Palpatine or anyone else knowing. So basically now order 66 demands the removal/execution of the Chancellor aka Palpatine, and order 65 is the execution of the Jedi.
So when Palpatine calls every single clone commander, commandos, bad batch, and the entire clone army to execute order 66. He is cracking up thinking that the clones are going to kill the jedi. Only to have an uno reverse card, and have the entire Republic army come after him instead.
In this case – almost. Fox isn’t good at smiling in holoshots and he is even more not used to get forced to anything, as usually he is the superior forcing everyone else to to what he wants. Hehe, poor Marshal Commander of Coruscant – welcome to the other side! 😽
Background story for this artwork is hidden in the narrative Alpha ALT text by my gorgeous writing owl twin 🦉 @eclec-tech in the naming story of clone trooper Holobomb, the shiny from the #gar goth night 🐥😁 My dear Amber, I hope you like it 🥰
Have a closer look on a stressed Fox 🦊☕️ (really trying to smile for that holo):
And Alpha-17 (satisfied like a lazy old lion 😎✨):
Personal update: RL keeps going wild, but art heals, so I'm happy that I manage some. Slow, but here and there 🫠 I'm fine. Managing like I always do 😎 somewhere and somehow ✨ I also try to catch up notifs, I love to see how many new collabs and beautiful things happen 🤩
