The First Ever Drawings Of Eidami's (my Oc) Parents!!
the first ever drawings of eidami's (my oc) parents!!
their names are jaig and dul naak.
jaig was born mandalorian and has a diving bird aliik that dul took when they got married. they exchanged knives instead of vambraces because dul sees their armor as something that's almost sacred due to their past.
dul and jaig are both the type to commit to a bit or, in the case of their armors, a theme. jaig went with a bird theme and dul with their half and half.
dul's armor is a past and present, a representation of where they've been, their past and the destruction that defined it, and their present, a regrowth and happiness despite all of that.
jaig's armor is more rooted in mandalorian color meanings (or what I could find of them). the black base is for justice against the empire. and he has feathers all over in red (honoring a parent/parents), orange (shereshoy/lust for life - he has this for dul), green (duty - mainly for his kids, eidami and um'noeh, but also for what he feels is his duty to help get rid of the empire), and he has a few in gray (remembrance - for his first love).
they adopted eidami in 14 bby when she was 1 year old. and then they got um'noeh (who's actually very important to her family's story despite the fact I haven't drawn her too much) around 5 bby. they got separated not too long after that and jaig and dul were looking for their kids ever since.

something about a traumatised character who begrudgingly / sort of unintentionally takes a child under their wing and then said child brings the light back into their life and believes in them when they don't even believe in themselves...
…and just thinking about how you can visually see the light return in the last pics.

ignoring my responsibilities to put Cody in The Void again
People said that Tumblr isn't a great place to post original art that isn't fanart, but I'm doing it anyway because I haven't got the motivation to draw anything else
Happy pride month lads! 🧡💛🤍💙

"Jedi must ignore their feelings." "That's quite a statement. Is it your own?" "Yes." Then the boy considered. "Well... Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan said much the same." "I think you misunderstood," Mace said. "Jedi do not ignore their feelings. They integrate them. Own them. They fear, but they are not afraid of fear. They grow angry, but they allow their anger to motivate only honorable action. Do you understand?" The boy nodded, but Mace knew he did not --yet. There was time. -Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss by Steven Barnes, pg 24
"The Light Side being good and the Dark Side being evil has no nuance!"
Why though? Neither side is inherent, they're choices. Does a difficult choice between good and evil not sound nuanced to you? Does the choice between a painful path and the complete erasure of who you are no sound fucking nuanced to you?
The Dark and Light Sides are a binary choice between good and evil, and… that's great! The morals are simple, but the nuance is not in the basic and very simple morality (murder bad), it's in the circumstances that make adhering to your morals difficult.
Is Anakin Skywalker wanting to do good but not being able to because that would mean not having what he wants not nuanced to you?
Is Asajj Ventress —an assassin, a Sith Acolyte, a bounty hunter— letting a girl go because she doesn't want her to lose her family like Ventress did, even though that would cost her a lot of money she needs to survive not nuanced to you?
Is Dooku wanting to fix the corruption of the Republic and ending up being worse because he believes he knows best not nuanced to you?
Is Darth Vader choosing right for once in his life and becoming who his son needs him to be not nuanced to you?
Is Cal, Kanan, Obi-Wan and all other Order 66 survivors remaining good and kind when everything's against them not nuanced to you?
Is Luke seeing the good still left in Space Hitler and forgiving and loving his father the Sith Apprentice despite everything he's done not nuanced to you?
Is Finn choosing mercy and defiance of the First Order despite being kidnaped, indoctrinated and brainwashed by them not nuanced to you?
Is Rey being good and choosing not to let her bloodline define her not nuanced to you?
Is Ben Solo choosing evil despite everyone around him being good not nuanced to you?
Is Han Solo, a selfish man, choosing to go into a killzone to save his friends not nuanced to you?
Is Mace Windu commiting high treason to save the Republic regardless of what happens to him not nuanced to you?
Is Ezra Bridger being selfish and thinking of himself but choosing to be selfless when he realizes how much that means not nuanced to you?
If we go to Legends:
Is Jacen Solo becoming a monster because he wants to spare his daughter from a horrible fate not nuanced to you?
Is Jaina Solo killing her brother to save the galaxy not nuanced to you?
Is Cade Skywalker seeing the Force as a tool and being dragged into evil more and more not nuanced to you?
What does nuance mean to you anyways? Do you even know what that means or are you just trying to be edgy?
it is cody day, my dudes
"AAAAAHHHHHHH"
i feel positively evil for having missed it last year when everything actually matched up perfectly (2/2/24 if you're beyond confused) but i was flipping through tumblr while running errands earlier so i rushed home and spit this out (that is 100% what happened with no abridging whatsoever)
pardon the impromptu anatomy study but i did not feel like drawing all that top half armor nonsense and i needed the practice
