Captian Rex - Blog Posts

I was looking back on my old illustration of Fantasy Kilti-wan, and Cody and thought it would be fun to do Anakin, Ashoka, and rex in a fantasy setting. I think I'm going to do some ref sheets of everyone and maybe start workshopping more of a setting for all this.

Anakin's look was a mix of his clone wars armour and a mix of Italian armour, and Arabic wear (It doesn't really show since the robes already look very jedi like.) Ahsoka's was a mix of season 7 and Chihal'ta hazar armour which is a type of medieval armour from India ( It looked a lot more flexible with big plates, and that really felt like it both fit Ahsoka, and would be easier to mesh her season 7 look into.) Rex' look is pretty close to what I did with Cody, I might change up the helmate more since Cody's look was super built around the visor, and that's just not rex so ill figure that out.

I am in love, I will be starring at this for hours. I am a sucker for dramatic rim lighting and this is scratching all those parts of my brain.

This was supposed to be an exercise in composing multiple separate sketches in one canvas, but Rex's turned out too nice and I had to follow through a bit

Just a quick lil doodle of this blonde boi

its fun merging that animated look of the clones w temura tbh 

Rex deserves a steaming cup of caf, they all deserve to be happy lil guys without any worries. no worries, just caffeine.

 I think I might do a series of caf clones since I had fun doin both this one and  my sketch of Wolffe.  

I finally finished that wip of the 501st barracks from a week ago, and im pretty happy with it! 

I also went from the chaos of doing everything on one layer to that chaos of 17 layers of effects. 

I embraced chaos by drawing this all on one layer. 

the 501st boys getting some rest in the barracks, I'm not sure if ill finish this later but I do like how its turned out so far so ill probably continue working on this tomorrow. 

Okay, I've been thinking about this for a while, so I decided to draw it out

Bonus:

For the "first time..." prompt - may I ask for "the first time Ahsoka saw Rex blush..." please? 🧡💙

Thank you for the ask my friend! Here is a little drabble for you :)

-------

The first time Ahsoka saw Rex blush was after the war. They were dismantling the old motivator on one of the ships Rex had acquired for his rebel cell, hoping to salvage what parts they could before they replaced it with a new one.

The engine compartment was cramped. They both fit, although just barely, the cramped space forcing them to crouch on their knees, facing one another. Ahsoka was sifting through a few useable parts they’d already removed, while Rex was looking for their next quarry to extract.

“I think we could also save the power cell which is…” Rex trailed off, looking around the cabin until he finally pinpointed his prize. He twisted sharply, awkwardly, trying to move in the tiny space to get to the power cell which Ahsoka identified to be directly behind him, just above his head. She grabbed the spanner and rose onto her knees.

“I’ve got it,” she murmured, shuffling over until she was directly in front of him, leaning over his shoulder to get at the apparatus. Her chest brushed against his shoulder as she miscalculated the distance just slightly, but Rex steadied her with a hand on her hip.

“Thanks,” Ahsoka said absentmindedly, her whole focus already on the power cell.

“Oh, uh, I-“ Rex tried to protest but Ahsoka was already halfway finished with disconnecting the mechanism. “Not a problem,” Rex muttered, slightly muffled from beneath her.

No more than a few seconds later, the power cell popped free and Ahsoka grinned triumphantly.

“There! Got it,” she declared and pulled back, settling back down onto the ground and smiling up at Rex, but she was surprised to find him looking rather bewildered instead. His eyes were wide, and lips slightly parted as if he wanted to say something. But most of all-

“Are you blushing?” Ahsoka accused, desperately trying not to sound too gleeful. Immediately Rex seemed to snap back into himself, vehemently denying it, all the while his blush only darkened.

“Of course not!”

“Really?”

“Really, Ahsoka.”

“Then why does it really look like it,” she teased, raising a hand to tap one of his ruddy cheeks gently. Rex rolled his eyes and swatted her hand away.

“It’s hot in here,” he said lamely, not quite meeting her gaze this time. Ahsoka scoffed.

“No, it really isn’t,” she argued, crossing her arms over her chest and sitting back on her heels.

“Well maybe not for you,” Rex exclaimed. “You’re barely wearing any clothes!”

Ahsoka let out an indignant gasp but when she glanced down at her outfit, she could see he wasn’t entirely wrong. She had on a tiny tank top and some form fitting shorts. Teth was a warm planet, and this was hard work, after all. She hadn’t wanted to overheat. But her point still stood. It really wasn’t that hot in this compartment. But perhaps it was a heat of a different kind touching Rex’s cheeks. The thought made Ahsoka blush a little as well.

“I can, uh, change. If you’d like,” she offered gently, not wanting him to be uncomfortable.

“Absolutely not,” Rex said, perhaps a little too vehemently, because they both burst out laughing at his enthusiasm.

With a smile, Rex clarified, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say… I’m just…”

“I get it,” Ahsoka said, shrugging. They stared at each other for a second before that familiar warm feeling bubbled up into Ahsoka’s chest. She helped it dissipate in the way she normally did, by leaning forward and kissing Rex’s cheek.

That earned her a chuckle and a smile. Now they were both blushing.

“Look, ‘Soka… we should probably talk about this.” He made a motion generally between them. Ahsoka nodded. She had felt it too, for a while now.

“But maybe not here,” Rex continued. “The innards of a ships engine just doesn’t quite seem like the place.”

Ahsoka laughed. “I can’t argue with you there.”

“Over drinks, after this?” Rex suggested.

“You got it,” Ahsoka replied, unable to keep the excited grin off her face. Butterflies erupted in her gut in anticipation that finally, they might move forward with this. Ahsoka hoped that meant she’d have the opportunity to see Rex blush many more times to come.

-I would never make it as a jedi cause the second i'm close enough to touch one of their arms there will be marriages💍🎀

Omg this just made my day 🥹😍

I am HONORED that you liked my fic enough that it inspired you to make art for it! That is the sweetest thing and the highest compliment 💕

I hope you enjoy the rest of the fic! There are more sweet moments to come, I promise 😉😊

Every time i read a good fan fic i'm always inspired to do a little doodling, might start posting them more often if you guys like them lol

this one was inspired by @snips2112 fic "That Familiar, Yet Unfamiliar Feeling"

i'm really enjoying reading this fic and i do recommend it to any rexsoka fans! it's set just after order 66 and also doesn't interrupt canon. It's slow burn but so far has blessed us with this scene of rex and ahsoka watching the sun set, it was described so beautifully by the author that i just had to bring to life ❤️

(this drawing isn't finished but i'll get to it at some point😂😂)
