god I wish I had a pair of menacing black gauntlets with really sharp fingertip claws I bet it feels good as fuck to have your hands resting palm-down on a surface and then scratch some deep fucking gashes into it as you clench your hand a little closer to a fist when your evil minion delivers some bad news to you

ohhh fuck yeah, you understand

Melkor was really asked to save Men from death and answered:

'I do not trouble that some of you die and go to appease the hunger of the Dark; for otherwise there would soon be too many of you, crawling like lice on the Earth. But if ye do not do My will, ye will feel My anger, and ye will die sooner, for I will slay you.'

What a guy to raise morale.

I'm back open for work here folks! If you have characters you need art of, I'm your person.

I run my commission through kofi and work to keep things under or around 1 month from submission to you receiving a sketch.

I also keep a public queue so you can see when your piece is up next, no need to worry about never getting progress reports, I keep that all in the open for you guys.

If you have any questions feel free to reach out and I can get back to you, and the #rowscara art tag below should have my polished works if you want more examples.

Supporters also get a discount so if you've been thinking about kofi/patreon, great time.

My only no goes are no pets, no real people, no hate, and absolutely no AI generated refs.

Please, if it's not your commission, do not repost anything I tag or say is a commission! Reposts of my commissioned/serious works are not ok

Star Wars Checklist

Aka post for me keep track of random Star Wars stuff I have read, watched, played, etc + an Objectively Correct Opinion

Movies

  • Original Trilogy - classic, peak, mini Crys introduction to the series, iconic
  • Prequel Trilogy - a wealth of memery, delicious tragedy, sick ass combat flips, I actually like Jar Jar a lot
  • Sequel Trilogy - they had plenty of good ideas and concepts, visuals are delicious, but I will never be over the fucking Fortnite Announcement???
  • Sidequels - Solo was pretty fun, actually. A bit wonky in place, but a good ride! Looking forward to Mandalorian movie.
  • DNF: Rogue One was rather bland and I can find better ways to enjoy looking at Krennic or Bodhi.

Books

  • Darth Plaguesis by James Luceno - yeah, this one was cool, no notes
  • Death Troopers by Joe Schreiber - it may be kind of mid, but an enjoyable horror flick of a book
  • Lost Tribe of the Sith by John Jackson Miller - it was quite a while ago, but it was alright, I think. Interesting format
  • Revan by Drew Karpyshyn - listen. I have read this for Vitiate. Vitiate (and at times Scourge) was fun, everything else was from mid to bad
  • Thrawn Trilogy (3/3) by Timithy Zahn - a tad bit wonky in translation, but a rather enjoyable read for the old EU, even if I am rather eh? about some central characters
  • Up next: Secrets of the Galaxy set!

Series (animaton)

  • Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, Holiday Special, Summer Special, Terrifying Tales - PEAK, you can't change my mind
  • Rebels S1&S2 - I still need to finish it, but I have genuinely enjoyed early seasons (Maketh Tua, you are forever in my heart)
  • Visions - After watching all three seasons this is definitely among my favourite Star Wars media. Love seeing different styles and how creative people got with familiar themes and tropes
  • Clone Wars 2003 - very enjoyable, tasty stylisation
  • DNF: new Clone Wars, because I really can't get into their visual style and there is a truckload of stuff.
  • Up next: probably Rebels or "Tales of" series

Series (live-action)

  • Up next: Acolyte and then Mandalorian, I think. Maybe Skeleton Crew?

Video Games

  • Jedi Academy - tiny Crys spent hours with it, still holds up, very fun
  • Lego Star Wars: Complete Saga & Skywalker Saga - PEAK, you can't change my mind
  • SWTOR - the one and only, deeply enjoyable, but I can't grant it the rank of a PEAK, because of all the fumbles. Still. Beloved.
  • Jedi: Fallen Order - very, very enjoyable. Definitely scratched the itch for the midway point of soulslike, exploration-goodie collector-metroidvania game. Can recommend!
  • Up next: more SWTOR, I think, not sure I will go for Jedi: Survivor next.

A few new additions to the list c:

What books have you folks liked in the old EU? Bonus points for standalones, don't think I have that dog in me to read very long series right now.
