GET ‘IM OMEGA!!!

Legacy

I finished this sketch of my OC Commander Adze! He’s a sweet grandpa, despite only being 13 XD

Been having a hard week. Got some kind of stomach bug. I think a hug from the Königtopus would fix everything, though

Sometimes I question the clone wars artists for how they decided to make armor. It’s cool as all get out, but why do the elbow and knee pads open outwards when the men are running into battle with their arms and legs bent most of the time? it leaves a big gap. It’s a wonder we don’t see more guys shot in the elbows and knees!

Anyway, the Alpha sketch is progressing nicely! Now for his silly pantaloon-kama

OH MY GOSH I LOVE THIS !!!!!

Did you guys ever end up writing anything? Or just talking about it? Did you come up with any specific scenarios for the Service Batch?? How does Omega fit into it all??

MORE DISCORD SHENANIGANS!!! My friends and I had a lil bit of a freakout about the idea of Crosshair and an OC in a modern au getting brought together by Crosshair’s three dogs: Wrecker, Tech and Hunter! It was such a cute idea that I had to make some art.

(We decided that Hunter was a German Shepherd, but I love dobies and I couldn’t help myself. Maybe I’ll make a shepherd Hunter later)

As an artist, I take umbrage with this!! Crayons are so much fun to work with! They blend in a really different way because they’re wax-based and you can melt them to make drippy, wet textures!!

What we know as crayons actually got their start around the late 1400s. These were more similar to compressed charcoals and chalk pastels, though. Artists like DaVinci and Michaelangelo used them primarily in the sketching stage of paintings, and for DaVinci in his journals. In the 1800s the charcoal pigment was replaced with colors and the crayons started being able to be mass produced thanks to the Industrial Revolution, and that’s when they first started making their way into classrooms. But they were still primarily marketed towards artists. It’s really only in recent years that they’ve been excluded from the artist’s toolbox, for whatever reason.

They’re very good for us because they’re relatively cheap (if you’re an artist, you know how important this is to us XD) and they’re good for filling in large areas with color or texture. And for those of us who work on unusual canvases (leather, plastics, drywall) they’re very helpful because their wax and oil binders let them stick to weird surfaces pretty well. You’d probably actually appreciate them if you used ‘em, Tech! They don’t conduct electricity, so it’s be safe to write with on wires and they’re waterproof, so you can use them in wet environments like underwater or in a storm!

Do you like crayons?

Do your parents know that you're on the holonet, little one?

Pastel fanart of one of @queen-jiru ‘s clone OC Peach, because I fell in love with him <3

I’m so glad you’re all enjoying this as much as you are. When my friend put the idea in my head, I had both reactions. It still makes me giggle uncontrollably in horror XD

Okay, but hear me out…

And what if, later, they adapt their signs to be mostly one-handed so that Echo can use their secret language too!! Maybe that’s why Wrecker can’t understand them in the show. Echo’s only been with them a couple months. They’re all probably still learning the updated version

It was Tech’s idea that the Batch should learn sign language. Partly as a way for them to communicate mid-combat if they couldn't use comms, partly so they could talk to each other on Kamino without other people overhearing.

Wrecker learnt bits of it, but he never got as fluent as the other three. Crosshair and Tech used to try and motivate him to memorise all the signs by having pointedly long conversations in sign and laughing to themselves like they're talking about something really interesting when in reality they're just arguing about cheese or something.

It's a mix of the standard galactic sign and their own signs that they came up with. It's useful in the field, for sure, but mostly so when Crosshair's arguing with the Kaminoans and Hunter's standing behind them frantically signing SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP before he gets himself decommissioned
