She doesn't believe me.

Reminder from David and I to take joy in the little things, while you're here and able to do so.

Black and white sketch of my Star Wars character Oassae as done by CobaltCorvus! Oassae is a Chiss Tech Scholar who is trying to find his Pantoran ex so as to finally get closure after abruptly abandoning her when she thought he would join her in running off with a rebel group. Heh.

An amazing sketch portrait of my Chiss techie character, Oassae! 🤩🙈 I play him in a Star Wars 5e campaign and this will be his new token when the game starts up again 😌

I really enjoyed drawing this portrait for you and thank you again for commissioning me! 😊

Best of luck on your campaign when it starts!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks! I'm hoping it will be!

Also, I should say I'm the one heading this project so at least I have free reign to show whatever I want when I want. 😈

But that also means there isn't going to be any money coming in from this for awhile... So I'm still very much looking for a better day job. 😅

Starting on an exciting, secret project today!

I'm not sure when I'll be able to tease anything yet, there is a long road ahead, but hopefully we'll get to a point where more can be said!

So stay tuned!

I keep throwing this around without featuring it alone here on bsky so here's Johnnie Redmayne for #fanart friday, inspired by Vide Noir (film + album) 🎨
