I Can't Imagine How Much Time That Took

I’m literally such a dumbass. HUGE (mini?) CROSSHAIR INSIGHT (This is spoiler safe 💕)

I’ve always glazed over the extra little piece over Crosshair’s chest plate on his Bad Batch armor. Always just thought "oh, his armor design is cool and unique."

IT'S LITERALLY A CUSHION FOR THE STOCK OF HIS RIFLE FOR THE RECOIL.

I've shot some rifles here and there and GD your shoulder gets sore from getting punched with the recoil, no matter how good you are at compensating/bracing. Even with his katarn-class armor, I'm sure it wouldn't be comfy. Because Crosshair is the only clone we really see with something like this, I'm going to assume it's not standard-issue. Which then means he went to Space-JoAnn's or raided the GAR supply closet for some scraps and arts-and-crafts-ed it himself.

Then I noticed his Empire armor doesn’t have that cushion. Yes de-individualization, but it’s also an indication that the Empire doesn’t care about any discomfort/pain that Crosshair may suffer from his rifle recoil. I can’t with this 😭

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk 😭🫠

also tagging some friends who witnessed this epiphany/may be interested since I added a few things lmao

Crosshair: see?! It talks crap!

Crosshair: Echo help! There’s a creature under my bed and it’s really ugly. 🥺

Tech, in the bottom bunk: Honestly, fuck you, Crosshair.

This burnt log was sitting a little ways away from the ocean.

I wonder what he did to that scarf

Another commission, now it's our dear sergeant's turn <3

👀👀👀 I've had a few of those moments myself... Glad it's just not me!

Okay so no one is probably going to belive me on this, but the first clone oc I ever made was named "Sharp" and he was a defective clone with blue eyes/awesome eyesight that made him a good sniper. This was YEARS before The Bad Batch was even teased.

The way I was flabbergasted when I found out about Crosshair and how I had basically predicted him was absolutely insane.

Eeeeeeeehh!

Accurate hat😊 he's so good

ANOTHER vision 🎣

I finally got time to work on a bigger piece and it had to be the bad batch!

I love these idiots and I feel so robbed of not having gotten canon old designs for the rest of them outside of Hunter and Omega

Also I wanted Tech back because he's my favourite nerd

I imagine this picture was taken earlier that day that Omega left to join the rebel alliance
