Instinct tells me to never finish this drawing and keep fixing the hair until the end of time. Unfortunately, I promised @lihgtsabers I would post a piece soon so I’m gonna suck it up and send my baby out into the world. This was my first realistic digital piece, and I really wanna thank instagram’s @melvnin for encouraging people to use her photographs to create art. I’m 90% sure she’s some immortal being who came down to Earth to grace us with her beauty.
hey! idk if you've still got that last slot open, but I'd love a fluffy Anidala fic, like maybe just them staying together in Padme's apartment on a rainy day (lol does it even rain on coruscant?) and being cute and cozy and no one bothers them and theres probably lotsa making out 😊 Thank you if you can! Also, happy early birthday!
Ahhh this was SO CUTE - I hope I did it justice 😊❤ (And thank you so much Piper!!)
It was a rare day indeed when the Coruscant atmosphericweather controls malfunctioned, but Anakin Skywalker was among the few who didnot groan or curse the darkening skies, and then, when the rains started, hewas among the few who met it with a delighted grin. Rain never ceased todelight him; a child of the desert, the sight of rain pouring from the skies insheets could only ever bring him a deep-rooted joy.
“Ani!”
At the sound of Padmé’s voice, full of both concern and exasperatedlove, Anakin half-turned from the spot at the balcony where he’d been glued allmorning to grin at his wife. She padded across the room, barefoot and yawning,dragging a thin blanket from their bed to drape across his shoulders. “What areyou doing up so early?” She asked, curling herself in his arms to rest her headon his chest. “Aren’t you freezing?”
“A little,” he admitted, reveling in her warmth, pulling hercloser. Her breaths were deep and slow, and for a moment they just swayedtogether on the balcony, Padmé dozing in his arms while he watched the rainfall in sheets across the neon horizon. In the rain, the gray cityscape lookedlike it had been drenched in spilling neon colors; bright pinks and oranges andgreens and yellows running together like paint. In his mind, he started tosketch out the scene: the colors spilling into each other, a pair of lovers on a balcony, dwarfed by the grandeur of the city around them, nameless, faceless, unknown and utterly free...
A moment later Padmé roused herself and pulled back, staringup at him with sleepy eyes. His heart constricted and he couldn’t help but runa hand through her thick curls, tousled with sleep as she murmured, “I’m toocold. Come back to bed.”
How could he say no?
He smiled and bent to press a gentle kiss to her soft cheek.“Go get warm. I’ll make us some caff – don’t you have any meetings or, uh…forums to go to?” He made a face at himself – he could barely keep track of hisown schedule. He didn’t know how Padmé did it.
Padmé shook her head and raised herself up on her toes toget a proper kiss. “I made sure Dormé cleared my schedule.” Her hands snuckunderneath the blanket and started to draw circles on the bare skin of his back.
“We both have the day off?” It sounded so bizarre in his ears,but the twinkle in Padmé’s eyes confirmed the strange circumstance. She lookedso lovely in the light of their room with Coruscant twinkling behind her thatAnakin’s heart constricted, and not for the last time, he asked himself how inthe stars he had gotten so lucky.
Anakin blinked, and then beamed down at her. Since the warhad begun, they’d never really had more than a few hours at most to themselves –not including, of course, their nights together – without the threat of ameeting with the Council, or a bill to pass; the prospect of a blank day aheadof them, where they had nothing to worry about but each other, was almost toogood to be true. She smiled up at him, a radiant, beautiful smile that warmedhim to his core, and then, before she knew what was happening, Anakin hadscooped her up in his arms.
She started to laugh in between his kisses as he carriedwith ease back to their bed. The blanket fell from his shoulders, but neithernoticed it fall to the floor. Anakin kissed her deeply, again and again until everyelse fell away. No war, no Senators, no Jedi… just the two of them.
He kissed her cheek again, noting with delight how theirlegs were tangled together, how a faint pink blush had spread across hercheeks. The sound of the rain pattering against the windows made it seem likeeven more of a dream; a thing that never happens, that’s too good to be true.
Anakin kissed her again as his hands fished for the thin blanketthat had fallen to the floor. He tucked it around her shoulders, trailing hisfingers up and down the lines of her body underneath the silk nightgown. Shesighed and smiled contently as he whispered in her ear, “I’m really gonna gomake that caff now.”
She nodded, but as he pulled away, leaving a cold spot whereher head had rested, she caught his hand and exclaimed, “No – wait – hot chocolateinstead?”
He gave her a deep bow. “Anything my Lady desires.” It wastrue – anything she wanted, whether caff or hot chocolate or anything,anything: he would do for her without hesitation. He left to the sounds of herbright laughter, and the promise of a day filled with nothing but their love.
When he returned a few minutes later, Anakin barely had timeto set the mugs down on the table before Padmé pulled him to her again, her fingerstwining in his blonde curls as they fell back to the bed, shoving blankets andpillows out of their way in their eagerness for each other.
The rain continued to patter against the windows, and the hotchocolate grew cold – but neither seemed to mind too much.

figured i’d answer this publicly in case anyone else is curious!
if you’re posting something that’s for sale on etsy, just hit the little settings gear in the top right corner of the post editor and copy paste the etsy link into the slot where it says ‘content source’ and it does it automatically!
Hey! I absolutely love your edits, especially the website ones, like the Hogwarts Library and Borgin and Burke's ones, which programs do you use to make those? (also we're both sagittarius and ENFP which i think is p cool 🙈)
Hi!! We should start a SagittarENFPius club tbh! I actually exclusively use Photoshop for everything including the animation, I really need to branch out to programs that are actually made for things like that but I know PS so well that it’s my go-to.
