I Need To Go On A Little Rant Here…

I can’t believe it’s been a week since the series finale of The Bad Batch season two… I’m still heartbroken. Still crying.

Clinging to the hope we’ll get some news on the third season soon. Any news, good or bad, is better than no news.

Just a little Tech and Phee tenderness because I need more of them in my life ❤️

I’ve decided to post all of the progress here as well, not just on instagram. Some people have asked to be tagged once I post some progress, but I can’t remember who they were. So if you wanna see future progress, let me know and I’ll tag you!

This one may not look too different from the previous one, but nothing really turned out the way I intended to.

The colors, the textures, the focus, the sounds, the camera, everything just seems so off, and oh boy the animation… this is the result of rushing and not knowing what I’m doing, just inserting keyframes, tweaking the graph editor and hoping for the best. So maybe signing up for this project wasn’t a great idea after all lol. Plus the datapad’s not even fully textured, you can literally see where I started adding details on the front, then for some reason I just left off lol

One thing I’ll definitely work on in the future is the menu itself, because if this project is for a graphic design thesis, then I might as well try to make the only thing that has something to do with it look more presentable. I’ll definitely be changing up the fonts, and I have some other ideas for the background as well.

But for now, I’ll move on to the remaining 5 character menu animations. Originally there were gonna be 5, not 7. At first I was randomly picking out the characters I wanted to make one for, then I realized, it’d probably be best, if each squad got one animation. The 501st gets Rex, the 212th gets Cody, the CG gets Fox, the 104th gets Wolffe, and the 241st gets Tukk. CF99 got Hunter but I really wanted to make one for Tech as well, since modeling and texturing him took the longest 💀

Once all of that’s done, I can finally move on to animating the trailer video. Which I’m terrified of, but oh well lol

...A little idea @niobiumao3 told me. Jedi Phee is already a 10/10 concept in itself but JEDI GENERAL Phee with the batch as her Clone Squad? Come ON

I love this pair so much. I wonder what they're talking about hehe

“The Good Soldier”

This digital artwork of Crosshair is the newest edition to the Bad Batch fan art I’ve been working on.

I hope we see this tortured man find peace in S3. He certainly deserves it.

We stand behind you, Temuera. ❤️

Let’s take a moment to appreciate Baylan Skoll. He’s soft-spoken. Honorable. Cares about his apprentice. Could conquer the world without harming a soul. Is a badass.

RIP Ray Stevenson. Thank you for giving us an awesome character.

Palpatine is back somehow and Tech is not.
