'The clone CT-7567 is declared a traitor.'
That clone wars finale killed me.
Shmi Skywalker is the most underrated character in Star Wars, hands down. Anakin's got a trinity of loss consisting of his mother, sister figure, and wife, and the latter two get all the attention while everyone's ignoring the woman who raised the most selfless child in the Galaxy.

Obi-Wan fans do me a favor look up "humberto gessinger jovem" in the images tab of the search engine of your preference. Do you see what I see.
beautiful, stinging pain
THE KINDEST THING —
Drawn forwards by guilty consciousness, she leaned over his prone form and gently unclasped his helmet. Pulled away carefully, only to drop the thing against the ground and stagger away when she saw his face and that familiar, trailing scar.
“Cody?” She breathed, horror staining her voice.

Five years on from the death of everything, Ahsoka and Cody run into each other. They talk.
Wow. The Mandalorian season 2 was so fun and enjoyable. Shame they never made a third season
Okay think like - why we never see Fox with his helmet off (excusing the fact the whole time we see him in canon he’s on duty) - is because he wears a compression garment for his face!! I like to think Fox was on the first battle of Geonosis, and suffered heavy injuries that left him well decorated but never to see the front lines again. Now imagine these injuries are burns!!! He’s just like me fr

It’s so fun seeing Tem-accurate fanart because I always get a deep sense of “I know that guy” as someone who lives in New Zealand😭 poly boys are so beautiful and so distinct I love seeing them represented properly in art 🫶🫶
Drawing Likeness: with Tem!
okaay since a few people actually showed interest in me sharing a bit of what I've been doing to figure out how to really capture likeness, specifically Temuera Morrison, I figured id do my best to write it out
I am also going to entice you with some of my recent clone art! (oooh some of it is unreleaaasedd)
I am putting the whole thing under the cut because I have a feeling its going to be long:
Read more!!!
a couple disclaimers before we start
-This is not some definite post about how everyone should be drawing clones, nor is it in any way claiming that this is the right way. This is just my musings as I stare at a mans face for way too long and try to replicate it
-I am inexperienced. As kind as you all are to me, drawing real people is relatively new to me, capturing a persons identity through their features is difficult for anybody, and I am no different. I have watched many a video on likeness and had my share of classes, but If im being honest, i rarely put it into practice successfully. So there'll probably be errors in this post or things i will come back to in a few months and wish I had said/done differently
ANYWAYs you guys get my vibe im just here to ramble and today we are rambling about mr copy paste. I am doing this for Law, my clone boy, because I plan on delving further into oc fanart and I want to put effort into representing him correctly!
SO LETS BEGIN
Before even deciding what specific pose of a person I want to draw, I tend to grab a bunch of references and compile them like so
(all of these can be found on my pinterest)
Why so many? Well, we are about to delve into facial features, so when we are dealing with photos we have to take into account that there are an abundance of circumstances that will influence how a persons face will appear, some of these include:
focal length: All of these are taken on different devices, and focal length can play a big part in distorting faces
age will play a part, your face changes a bunch throughout your life!
lighting, while not as major, can muddy the waters and make it difficult to interpret facial planes and features
SO, to make sure we get a proper grasp of what's really going on, I like to make sure we have lots of options to compare and contrast with.
Next up! What I like to do is block out the main facial features with colour on different layers, the features I block out usually are the general face shape, eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips. But what you are looking for is the defining features of a person, so that could include other things! Maybe a scar, or some particularly prominent cheekbones.
I dont have any rhyme or reason when it comes to picking my colours, all that matters is you can see all the shapes clearly.
Now I may be biased, because Ive been staring at these for 4 hours, but notice how it still looks like Tem? :D
Anyways, now we can break these parts down, and you'll see what I mean about compare and contrast:
We'll start with isolating the facial shape, putting all these next to eachother you'll notice they arent exactly the same (partly because of my shoddy work) But the distinguishing features run through each shape! Namely the very soft rectangular shape I sketched out in the bottom right there. Along with his soft, wide jaw structure.
I did the same for the rest of his features!
You'll notice I highlight the prominent shapes and ratios,
When drawing anything, it is important to start from the very base shapes and build up.
When drawing something you want to look like someone, those shapes relative to other shapes is what makes it look like them.
I didnt use the same technique with his eyes and lips, but I wrote out some helpful info for them! More importantly for his eyes.
When drawing eyes, I find the most important part is where exactly I draw the creases, (along with the overall shape of the eye itself) it is important to understand where those will present themselves with hooded eyes.
NOW, with an understanding of his facial features in place, lets take a detour to colours:
before I start, a couple things to note:
-Temuera morrison versus the clone troopers in the animated shows:
While I love the animated shows they don't exactly stay close to their source material. Im going to link here to an excellent post discussing whitewashing specifically in relation to the clones.
Temuera is Māori, of Te Arawa (Ngāti Whakaue) and Tainui (Ngāti Maniapoto, Ngāti Rarua) whakapapa, and also has Scottish and Irish ancestry.
The Māori people are the indigenous Polynesian people of mainland New Zealand (Aotearoa). Māori originated with settlers from East Polynesia. Māori people often vary in skin tone, Skin colour doesn't determine ethnicity. There's often a correlation but it's not a requirement.
But that is a tangent! What we are aiming for is to stay true to Temuera.
Bringing back my reference photos from before, Ive colour picked a buncha values and theyre all over the place. Why doesnt this work?
Similarly to earlier, you have to take into account the photos themselves. Many things like lighting, colour grading (when it comes to filmography) and makeup, can alter how a skin colour presents in photo.
You can attempt to get true to life by swatching from certain places on the face. Here I've tried to pick some photos with good lighting, and I've also tried to avoid overly lit/shaded areas.
Tem has a very warm, tan skin tone, Instead of colour picking I tend to try and replicate it myself, but I do often bring in references to make sure Im staying true to the source!
Here is a rough guide on skin tone, and where I usually get my base shade from! along with the shade next to a reference. Looking at it on this screen (I draw on a completely different device to where I am uploading this), I would probably darken the colour a tad, but this also does get altered when you render out a picture and add blush/ other shading! Similarly to why it is hard to colour pick from life.
a brief intermission to talk about colour theory, something I myself struggle with alot. Often, when putting in flat colours without a background, I will forget to make sure the colours i intend to use will work with the skin tone i have picked! (something that is apparent in older works of mine, not just in relation to clones, but in general, the colours I end up with stray largely from their original sources and it is something I am doing my best to keep in mind and improve in! Although I don't think i am nearly experienced enough in the topic to say I have succeeded yet lol.)
anyways back to Tem :))
Now we can put all of that into practice! Things to keep in mind when drawing out a piece next to a reference like this:
the distance between the eyebrows? how far down his face does his nose go? Basically just, in relation to eachother, where do all those shapes we found earlier, sit?
The screenshot above is from before I did it myself, but instead of directly tracing from the reference, a handy trick I use it to complete your sketch first, and then overlay a traced version to see where your inconsistencies are! Alternatively, you could move your sketch over the image, but I didnt do it that way so!! uh!! im sure it works exactly the same!!!!
When it comes to a final illustration, or any sketch that isnt a direct study, of course you can push and pull and stylise! You'll see below that I'm not exactly 1:1 to my reference photo either.
The important thing with stylisation, or at least my own personal understanding of stylisation is that you need to thoroughly understand the thing you are stylizing! "You need to know the rules to break them" and all that. While shapes, lines and rendering can change, when it comes to drawing someone, and making it look like them, you have to make sure to keep their core features true to source. Caricature can capture a persons vibe whilst drastically exaggerating features, but it will only look like them if you KEEP THOSE FEATURES!!!! SHAPES!!! AHHH!!
But that is just my perspective on the discussion of style versus realism, please dont take is as Law, I dont know what Im on about half the time!!
anyways, after fixing your sketch, add local colours!
I rexified him because why tf not! But this is where you can go crazy with that clone personalization!
And then here is a very very barely rendered version (if you guys want me to explain how i RENDER that would need to be a completely different post, and I havent had anyone ask about it yet so who knows! maybe one day) But I digress, hopefully you learnt something new through my ramblings! It has certainly helped me organize my thoughts and I have also found some areas I would like to focus more on in the future to improve my own art!
TLDR: In order to understand an object, be it a face or a building or literally anything, you have to break it down to its simplest forms, understanding LARGER shapes will help you immensely in the long run
If you guys like this sorta content do let me know! I'd be down to do similar things for armor/anything really, I am very anti gatekeep so really anything at all you want to know! Send me an ask :))
also if you see a spelling mistake.. i don’t know how that got there
Oh my god! Order 66 in the Clone Wars! Hell ... But most of all Rex! My poor baby boy!
His hands were shaking and he was crying. He told himself to fight against Sidious' command. He didn't want to hurt Ahsoka. He probably was like a prisoner in his own body fighting against the inhibitor chip. I know the Sith were evil but letting the 501st hunt down their former commander. That's far beyond evil! That's a whole other level!
Guys, do you see the hurt in his eyes after the chip is removed? I never ever want to see this look in any clones eyes ever again! I'm crying. How could they do this to the clones, my precious baby boys? I know Star Wars is all about Ani and later Luke, Leia and the gang saving the universe but in all honesty I would rather have the cheesy happy end they all deserve. I just want happiness for those who deserve it. It's just not fair!

Okay, okay…I'll share this art that I hid because I'm shy (｡･･｡) We won’t remember my little comic, because there’s not much to see there. Not that there's much to see here, but what do you know?
Some time ago I posted a sketch, and then a WIP, where I told the general idea of the art, but I’ll tell you again. Maul asked Ahsoka to close her eyes so that he could show her all the delights of force.

Star Wars + Casa Blanca + Malvaviscos = La manera mas épica de decir "no, no construiremos la Estrella de la Muerte"
El gobierno de Estados Unidos tiene una página web que obliga al gobierno a responder peticiones tras recibir un número mínimo de votos. Recientemente, un grupo pidió que el gobierno se posicionara sobre la posibilidad de "iniciar la construcción de una Estrella de la Muerte en 2016". La respuesta es tan buena que la traduje para compartirla. A continuación, una traducción al español de "This Isn't the Petition Response You're Looking For", la respuesta oficial con todo y sus links originales:
La Administración comparte su deseo de crear trabajos y fortalecer la defensa nacional, pero una Estrella de la Muerte no está en el horizonte. Aquí hay algunas razones:
Se calcula que la construcción de la Estrella de la Muerte costaría mas de $850,000,000,000,000,000. Queremos bajar nuestro déficit, no aumentarlo.
Nuestro gobierno no apoya la idea de estallar planetas.
¿Porqué gastaríamos una increíble cantidad de dinero de los ciudadanos que pagan impuestos para hacer una Estrella de la Muerte con una falla fundamental que puede ser atacada por una nave espacial tripulada por un solo hombre?
De todas formas, vean con atención (pueden leer aquí como hacerlo) y notarán que ya hay algo que flota en el cielo: ¡Eso no es una Luna, es una estación espacial! Si, ya tenemos una gran Estación Espacial Internacional del tamaño de un campo de futbol americano flotando al rededor de la Tierra que nos ayuda a aprender como pueden vivir y prosperar los humanos en el espacio por largas cantidades de tiempo. La Estación Espacial tiene seis astronautas -- estadounidenses, rusos y canadienses -- viviendo en ella justo en este instante, haciendo investigaciones, aprendiendo como vivir y trabajar en el espacio por largos periodos de tiempo, recibiendo constantemente naves espaciales visitantes y reparando trituradores de basura a bordo, entre otras cosas. También tenemos dos laboratorios de ciencia robótica -- uno de ellos con un láser -- explorando Marte, viendo si existió vida en el Planeta Rojo.
Recuerden que el espacio ya no le pertenece solo al gobierno. Empresas estadounidenses privadas, a través del Commercial Crew and Cargo Program Office (C3PO) de la NASA, están transportando carga (y pronto, tripulación) al espacio para la NASA, e intentan hacer misiones tripuladas por humanos a la Luna en esta década.
Aun cuando Estados Unidos no tiene nada que pueda ganar la carrera Kessel en menos de 12 parsecs, tenemos dos naves espaciales saliendo del Sistema Solar y estamos construyendo una sonda que irá a visitar las capas exteriores del Sol. Estamos descubriendo cientos de planetas nuevos en otros sistemas solares y construyendo un poderoso sucesor del Telescopio Espacial Hubble que podrá mirar los primeros tiempos del universo.
No tenemos una Estrella de la Muerte, pero tenemos asistentes robóticos voladores en la Estación Espacial, un Presidente que sabe usar una espada láser y un cañón (de malvaviscos) avanzado, y la Agencia de Investigación de Proyectos Avanzados de Defensa, la cual apoya la investigación para construir la mano de Luke, droides voladores, y caminantes cuadrúpedos.
¡Vivimos en el futuro! Disfrútenlo. O mejor aun, ayuden a construirlo estudiando una carrera en un campo relacionado con la ciencia, tecnología, ingeniería o matemáticas. El Presidente realizó la primera feria de ciencias de la Casa Blanca y la primera Noche Astronómica en el Campo Sur de la Casa Blanca porque sabe que esos campos son críticos para el futuro de nuestro país, y para garantizar que Estados Unidos continúe liderando el mundo en hacer cosas grandes.
¡Si estudias una carrera en un campo relacionado con ciencias, tecnología, ingeniería o matemáticas, la Fuerza estará con nosotros! Recuerda, el poder de la Estrella de la Muerte para destruir un planeta, o incluso un sistema solar, es insignificante en comparación con el poder de la Fuerza.
Lo único que no me gustó de esta respuesta es que la Casa Blanca se muestra demasiado optimista sobre el futuro de la exploración espacial en una era post-NASA. Eso si, como hombre prevenido vale por dos, yo mejor sigo desde ahora el Tumblr HowManyPeopleAreInSpaceRightNow.com. Se vale soñar, aun si la Estrella de la Muerte se vende por separado.
