Taking lives

“Lamech took two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah. . . . Lamech said to his wives: 

‘Adah and Zillah, hear my voice;  you wives of Lamech, listen to what I say:  I have killed a man for wounding me,  a young man for striking me.  If Cain is avenged sevenfold,  truly Lamech seventy-sevenfold.’ ” 

- Genesis 4:19, 23-24 NRSV (1989)

I saw a bunch of interesting colour palettes and I couldn’t resist trying to design a few Togruta and Nautolan from them. While I used the colours as they were, I did allow myself to darken/lighten one colour as well as add in black if I felt there was a need for it. Obviously I also added the necessary colours to make some of them more accurate.

I ended up keeping both of the imps, I couldn’t resist them. Captain Mintta Shoksa and Fleet Admiral Neshe Vho. There was no intention to keep any others, but the green Nautolan lady just called to me (and she’s cute). Ommo Gigda.

The rebel pilot was thrown at @forgottenhope547 to stop myself from keeping her too. Fortunately FH547 didn’t mind it in the slightest haha Edit: @constellation-cat got the Jedi Nautolan thrown at her, because he looked like a character she had in mind haha Edit2: @kaminoanbat is now the proud owner of the Sith Togruta

I really need to start drawing bigger body types damnit

[quotesfromscripture]

“King Nebuchadnezzar took all of Jerusalem captive, including all the commanders and the best of the soldiers, craftsmen, and artisans -- 10,000 in all. Only the poorest people were left in the land. 

Nebuchadnezzar led King Jehoiachin away as a captive to Babylon, along with the queen mother, his wives and officials, and all Jerusalem’s elite. He also exiled 7,000 of the best troops and 1,000 craftsmen and artisans, all of whom were strong and fit for war.” 

- 2 Kings 24:14-16 NLT (2015)

The spoils of war

“They did battle against Midian, as the LORD had commanded Moses, and killed every male. They killed the kings of Midian: Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba, the five kings of Midian, in addition to others who were slain by them; and they also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword. The Israelites took the women of Midian and their little ones captive; and they took all their cattle, their flocks, and all their goods as booty. 

All their towns where they had settled, and all their encampments, they burned, but they took all the spoil and all the booty, both people and animals. 

. . . 

The booty remaining from the spoil that the troops had taken totaled six hundred seventy-five thousand sheep, seventy-two thousand oxen, sixty-one thousand donkeys, and thirty-two thousand persons in all, women who had not known a man by sleeping with him.” 

- Numbers 31:7-11, 32-35 NRSV (1989)
