Curate, connect, and discover
The imperial safety commission (ISC) would like to remind the general public that not all behaviors exhibited by Sith should be subject to emulation.
Speeder jousting as demonstrated by apprentice Crodek Ger’nok is, experts say, exceedingly dangerous.
When questioned about his reckless behavior the sith-to-be stated that ‘A warrior should always have his weapon ready”. There is some truth to this statement, just as there truth in the very real danger posed by fully ignited lightsaber while speeder riding.
The ISC highly recommends that lightsaber stay unignited while driving. Blaster safety should be engaged and blades sheathed. With your continued survival at heart, good day.
Summary:
What if Order 66 happened differently... but the Clone Wars ended on a somewhat sour note? But with a galaxy united? This series aims to explore that. Like I said earlier... I made another failed Order 66 AU.
Love the darth plagueis reveal because it’s 100% giving the energy of your roommate has a date over and you’re peeking out of your room to see if it’s safe to use the kitchen yet
This was my commission! Very thankful for Wafel and how they put up with my overly specific requests. This pic is done for a Star Wars: Old Republic AU that I’m writing (character info and lore dump below)
This AU explores an alternate scenario of what happened in the centuries after the fall of the Reconstituted Sith Empire (This particular story takes place a few hundred years after the Empire’s dissolution.) (also the AU is kinda furry oriented: I know, I know, shame me)
These pics are showing two important characters, Levka (first pic, Unknown Big Cat Hybrid) and Marya (second pic, Canadian Lynx), who were both Jedi Padawans on the rebuilt Dantooine Jedi Enclave.
Levka and Marya were both taken by the Jedi Order as infants, and became friends when they were both still Jedi Younglings. Eventually, they were both put under the tutelage of the same Jedi Master, becoming Padawans. The two were practically inseparable, getting along well despite the many differences between them. Marya was a model student, both talented in the Force and very attuned to Jedi philosophy. Her close adherence to Jedi protocol endeared her to the Jedi Council, and even though her introverted personality kept her from being too outgoing, she still was admired by her fellow Padawans for both her skill and pleasant disposition.
Levka was a different story. While she showed great aptitude in the Force and in lightsaber training, she was not nearly as obedient or as devoted to the Jedi Order’s ideals as Marya was. She was unenthusiastic about listening to her Master and even less willing to endure reprimands and lectures, having the nerve to talk back to her instructors on numerous occasions. The council was unsure of what to make of her. Her history of personal conflict with other Padawans was worrying; her occasional impassioned outbursts were even more so. But despite these flaws, Levka was still a talented student, and eventually managed to minimize her infractions of the rules, though this was mostly because she got better at hiding them.
Regardless of the contrast between them, Marya and Levka were as close as friends could be. Whether they were reading from holobooks in the library or taking a walk through the forests next to the Jedi Enclave, they were almost always seen together. This relationship was slightly controversial among Dantooine’s Jedi Council however, as some hardliners voiced concerns that this could be defined as an emotional attachment. Any relationship, even a particularly close friendship, had the potential to lead to attachment, therefore causing imbalance within a Jedi. This would be unacceptable; a Jedi should have no attachments, being concerned only with serving the Will of the Force. But this was dismissed, as the majority felt that the bond between the two Padawans didn’t have any noticeable impact.
But as the girls grew older and approached young adulthood, their relationship started to change. The two began to draw closer, with Levka being the first to realize her feelings for Marya had taken on a new tone. As both Padwans came to terms with their relationship and the attachment they had to one another, they slowly began to draw away from the ways of the Jedi Order and seek a different path. If attachment would interfere with Jedi techniques, they needed to find a new way to channel the Force.
They got their wish when they discovered a strange holocron hidden in the forest next to the Enclave. The holocron provided them with a wealth of knowledge, and showed them teachings that seemed to contradict those of the Jedi. It showed how one could use their passion as a source of power, that emotions and attachments could strengthen their connection to the Force. Though they were cautious about trusting this unfamiliar artifact, they eventually resolved to study it and verify its claims, to see if these new teachings would truly help them. Together, they pledged themselves to learning the secrets of the holocron.
Somewhere, their new master sensed this and smiled. The Padawans had found his gift.
Soon, they would no longer be Padawans; they would be his apprentices.
Soon, they would grow stronger than any Jedi.
Soon, the Jedi Order would burn.
TL;DR: Who would win, almost two decades of Jedi training or the urge to kiss your best friend
Wowee first commission!!! I absolutely love how it turned out lol
Swtor is one of my favorite games last time. And i always like those imperial trooper armors. And for me this older armor is much better looking than clone/stormtrooper armors in the movies. So i did this art with myself equipped with this type of armor.
Eeth Koth's daughter and the Grand Inquisitor holding her biological father's lightsaber
The main idea was that Ahsoka joins her master to the dark side, but she isn't entirely evil. She begins to seriously question her loyalties when she captures an old friend, whom she thought was dead.
P.S. I still can't get the frames right!! They don't come out straight! XD
@rexsokaweekofficial
I totally forgot to post this yesterday oops!
Art vs the Artist 👽
Here's a small collection of my favorite works from 2024, can't wait to see what 2025 brings!
I drew Mr Puzzles as a Sith Lord because yes
You didn't specifically know what it was that caused you to believe so firmly that you loved Darth Vader, because it's preposterous in itself. You, a lowly Stormtrooper, who has never ever done anything, never majored in anything. All you knew is how to operate a blaster and follow orders. That's all. But you had the audacity to fantasize of yourself with your own Lord? A Sith, with a tragic past, one strong with the Force, one who you weren't even sure noticed you. But you found yourself thinking you could fix him, make him love you.
What you didn't know was that Vader could sense the nervousness that seemed to encourage you not to look at him whatsoever. He could sense every one of your emotions without you knowing, you weren't really good at hiding them, even under the Stormtrooper mask.
You wandered the halls of the Death Star aimlessly, pretending to be on patrol, when in reality, you were clearing your head. "Hey, YN-447, are you off duty?" Another Trooper asks you. "Huh? Um... nah, not at all." You reply, looking up at the Trooper. "Lord Vader's supposed to be coming down here, I think." The Trooper glanced around. "W-what? Why?" You ask shakily, blushing. "Dunno." The Trooper shrugs. A second later, you hear a scuttle of footsteps and the iconic sound of Vader's breathing, and you felt your breath speed up slightly.
Draped in all black, stepping with an unspoken authority and an aura of badass. "What is your business, Troopers?" He said, with a sort of bored tone. "I was going on a walk, My Lord..." You said, the prospect of lying to him was absurd, as you knew he wouldn't fall for it. "Were you given permission?" Vader asked, his head tilting toward you, you looked up, to lock your eyes with his, even if you nor he could see the other through the black lenses. "No. It was supposed to be quick." Vader sighed, obviously it was annoying to him to have to deal with you. "I see. Clearly, you've no sense, Trooper. What's your name?" You took a second, a second too long perhaps. "YN-447." You replied.
He doesn't respond, but just nods, and he sweeps away. You stared after him in awe and felt your face heat up again. A few days later, you were called to report to Vader's chambers, in account for getting in a bit of an argument with a fellow Trooper (Aggressive negotiations). You entered and took off your helmet, you noticed he was staring outside, at Space. "YN-447, I trust you know why you are here." He spoke. "I do, My Lord." He turned to you, his hands clasped securely behind his back. "Would you like to tell me how you got the Lightsaber?" You looked up at him. "I snagged it, from a Jedi I killed." He nodded. "How did you learn to use it?" You took a deep breath. "I didn't. It came... naturally." He said nothing, and looked away from you, back out the window. You moved closer, but only slightly, not entirely sure of what to do.
Did you upset him? Offend him? Make him sad? Your eyes shifted around the room nervously. "Do you know what that means?" He spoke after a seemingly forever-type pause. "No?" You tilted your head. "You are to be trained in the ways of the Sith." Vader turned to you. "What?" You said, dumbfounded. "I hope I did not stutter." He said, his voice sounding quite sour. "A-as your apprentice? Or...?" He scoffed, not even attempting to answer that question. He looked at you, (or at least you thought he did) and said to you possibly one of the softest tones he could manage. "It's your destiny."

I keep drawing illustrations
I have two more sketches of this scene because I couldn't decide which one I liked better, so I'll slowly draw those as well
I'll finish it someday, but for now it's in the sketch.
Oh yeah, I love the work @blackkatmagic "Hunting towards heartstill". So, in the near future, I'll probably be slowly painting my favorite moments.

I love the clone wars trio bc I see them all as different commentaries on the Jedi of the time.
Obi Wan is what the Jedi were.
Anakin is what the Jedi preached against.
Ahsoka is what the Jedi should aspire to be.
Obi Wan had the best of intentions: he wanted to save Anakin, to save Satine, to save Ahsoka. But in the end he failed due to Sith scheming. He was set up to fail, wether it be his dead master or the intergalactic war he was forced to fight in. And in the end Anakin did fall from the light, Satine was killed in Maul's quest for revenge, and Ahsoka walked away. He was a well-intentioned man with a good heart who was ultimately set up to fail by the Sith.
Anakin too wanted safety for his loved ones, but he took it to far. Instead of prioritizing those people, their wants and needs, he prioritized the way they made him felt. Instead of selfless love, he loved selfishly, which is exactlaly what the Jedi are against. They're not against love, they're against attachment. Anakin couldn't let go of Ahsoka: it corroded his faith in the Jedi, sowed seeds of resentment. He couldn't accept that Padme or Obi Wan didn't agree with his vision, because if they don't make him feel good, then they no longer love him. Anakin was a kind boy twisted by the Sith and his misguided attachment to others.
Ahsoka falls into a similar category as Obi Wan, except for one detial. She walked away. She recognized that the Jedi were unintentionally loosing themselves in war. And even through she was a spectacular warrior, a talented commander, she recognized that it wasn't supposed to be her job. She was able to let go of her attachment to Anakin and the 501st. She was a product of her masters and friends, of Obi Wan, Anakin, Padme, and all the others who influenced her growth. And even in the end, when her world fell, she still acted with compassion and understanding, which is exactly what a Jedi should be. Despite her discomfort with the twisted meaning of the title, Ahsoka embodied the fundamental traits of a Jedi. Not flawless, but an empathetic peacekeeper capable of embracing love and rejecting attachment.
Idk if I'm articulating it right, but the general idea is there.
Werewolf Lore
Some stuff about the loth-werewolves in my fanfiction, and their history concerning the dark side/their origin!
A “curse” created by an ancient Sith Lord, who experimented on loth wolves from lothal in her laboratory on a moon deep in the territory of the Sith Empire. She was well versed in Sith alchemy more so than combat.
She wanted to serve the empire by providing it with soldiers that were made for dispatching force users specifically, and she had always been fascinated with the mysterious and archaic loth wolves who had been observed to have some connection to the force.
Using prisoners of war, volunteers, and kidnapping random civilians, she tested her experiments on many different species, including: togruta, Twi’lek, human, Sith, ugnaught, chiss, etc
Not everyone survived the transformations, and many died
The successful ones were studied excessively
However, the Sith and her apprentice mysteriously went missing, and it is believed her own creations destroyed her
Some cursed people escaped, and inevitably the curse spread to some extent in the outer rim.
Curiously, the loth wolves and loth werewolves all declined in number, and many infer that the Jedi set out to dispatch them in secret, however, the true reason is unknown.
Obviously, some remained.
Most information about the werewolf illness is hidden in the deepest crypts of the Jedi archive, and is inaccessible to the public. Some information can be gathered from questionable sites on the Holonet, and old folktales.
Transformations are very, very painful. Most people do not survive the first shift. Only the strongest survive- a byproduct of the Sith’s lust for power.
Can be transmitted through bites(it’s in the saliva).
Transformations can be triggered by: a full moon, force sensitives nearby, and intense emotions (anger, rage, hate, sadness, aggression/agitation, anxiety/stress, and even extreme joy). This makes having a normal life exceedingly difficult.
There are rumors that “wolfsbane”, an alien herb, may have some effect on them, but the exact effect is unknown.
In human form, the werewolf may have intense cravings for meat. Additionally, non-meat foods are revolting, and become difficult to keep down.
As a human, they gain increased sight, smell, taste, and hearing. They are also more prone to out bursts of anger. Again, a byproduct of the nature of the Sith.
Space travel is almost impossible to achieve without randomly turning, and is very annoying to go through. Sometimes, though, a trip may be void of shifting, if they are lucky.
In their wolf form, they become violent and have an insatiable hunger. They have little to no memory of what they do in this state.
However, there is a possibility that the rational human mind can break free, and regain control.
Werewolves are very big and tall, but when on all fours, are slightly smaller than regular loth wolves.
Werewolves lack the pack mentality Loth Wolves have.
A couple days or even hours before a full moon, the person may experience fever-like symptoms and body aches.
Werewolves have hands and fingers, which can grasp things and even open doors! Yay!
As a result of being infected by the curse, the midichlorian count in their blood slightly increases. They cannot use the force, but are more resistive to force attacks and can track down force users easily.
In human form, they have longer than normal canines, and have tapetum lucidium at night.
There are rumors of a cure
The Jedi refuse to talk about the werewolves
The galaxy assumed werewolves were just cool, fictional horror stories
The wilderness makes werewolves have more feral, violent behavior, but they are least likely to attack a human in the open expanse of the woods.
It can be genetically transferred (ie: you have kids, or you get cloned; most likely, the clone is a werewolf, and so is your kid)
Planets that have a strong darkside presence may cause a werewolf to shift. Planets with a strong lightside presence also provoke shifting, but the werewolf may become violently ill.
Werewolves have increased rates of healing, which make them incredibly difficult to kill.
Silver has no effect on them.
Hunter hates everything about being a werewolf lol.
The increase in his senses coupled with his enhanced mutation is not tasty.
