I was hoping to have had these drawn last weekend, but school and work came first. After a minor, yet, major mistake (Wrong stuffed animals with the cats!.. oops, yes, that certainly warrants a free redraw) here they are.
Cuties!
I take these cutie commissions every now and again. If you’d like to be on my cutie list, let me know and I’ll put you on the priority list the next time I open them.
I’ve added some new art to my Teeny Commissions gallery and to my sketches and pencils gallery
A couple of examples are right here:
This is a commission that I just finished an, other than the 501st helmet and a couple of Chicagoland cards, I am complete;y caught up. This means I’ll be taking some commissions during March Break. Also, now and again I may do special, inexpensive cutie commissions, so watch this space!
Without further adieu, I give you Figment!
I’ve had some people express interest in the Amaran storyline and such. The following is a fairly hastily written description of the Amarans, their traits and their homeworld. This is NOT official (Except for some of the points referring to the relationship with the Naboo) and is not to be taken as canon. Seeing as there is canon lacking, please feel free to use these ideas in your roleplaying game sessions as jump starters and if you like this, please link back to this page. As a bonus, I have included an Amaran Gallery at the bottom of this post, with art – including the original concept art that was used to design the Amarans and Bursa as they are seen in the Wildlife of Star Wars book. (The gallery may not be visible in RSS feeds to LJ and Facebook)
Physical AppearanceAmarans are small, vulpine aliens, 3.5-4 feet tall. They are digitigrades with long, slender arms and legs and a lithe, sinewy body. Their tails are long and fluffy and serve as a counter balance as they move, making them very agile. An Amaran’s tail is a source of pride, and they are always well groomed. They have four digits on their hands and feet.
Their fur colour ranges from white, to orange to black, with the most common colours being a yellow-orange, grey and white. The usual eye colour for Amarans is black, but green, blue and red eyes are also seen. Their faces are long and slender, lending to their sleek appearances.
Female Amarans are slightly smaller than males, and males have slightly broader shoulders. For the mostpart, they are very similar in size. Females do not have visible mammaries unless they are nursing young. Amarans generally give birth to one pup and they reach adulthood at about 18 standard years.
Amarans are, in general, a fairly playful race and are sly and shrewd, making them excellent traders, pilots and con artists. Of course, as with all races, there are variations, but Amarans love nothing more than to trick or play their way through various situations and they enjoy fine food, fine wine and clothes made of the finest materials. Amarans have an uncanny knack for taming beasts, even ferocious ones that are much larger than they are. Some Amarans are force sensitive and have served as Jedi Knights, but an Amaran with the discipline to go through Jedi Training is a very rare beast indeed and Amaran Jedi Knights are seen as curious oddities by their fellow, more playful, bretheren.
Amarans in the galaxyAmarans are usually found in the galaxy as traders. Their primary trade is on Naboo, where they tame and sell the local wildlife to Gungans, offworlders and the Naboo people. As Naboo is teeming with life, this is very lucrative of them and Naboo is a second home to the Amarans, where they have a settlement on the edges of the swamp. The Amarans are the reason the fierce Bursa of Naboo is not extinct. The Gungans nearly wiped out the species, which is now extinct in the wild, but the Amarans spearheaded a breeding program and have established a Bursa sanctuary well out of the way of any Gungan settlement.
Other than beast tamers, Amarans can be found as pilots, fast-talking con artists, gamblers or just as travelers. Amarans worship the stars and love nothing more than to be among them.
The Amaran homeworld, Amar, is located in Mid rim, near the outer rim – between Naboo and Zhar. It is a world lush with forests, plains and vast bodies of water. It has a climate similar to Naboo, which explains the Amaran love for their sister planet. Like Naboo, Amar is teeming with life which the Amarans manage with great reverence, ensuring that their wildlife trade does not interfere with the balance of the planet. Laws are in place to prevent poaching and poachers, both Amaran or offworlders, are severely punished with fines and imprisonment. Even the Amaran cities, mines and resource collection are constructed and operated as non-invasively as possible. Amarans have tamed many of their local species, such as the Vrrryyyk, a flying reptilian bird like species which Amarans enjoy riding more than they like flying actual spacecraft.
Other than Wildlife and Amaran art, Amaran exports include food, ore, textiles and energy crystals.
Amarans are fairly technologically advanced and had developed limited, and primitive, hyperspace capabilities which lead to them discovering Naboo. After the language barrier was broken, the Naboo and Amarans established trade relations and the exchange of technology, which opened the galaxy up to the Amarans, who have been exploring since.
Amarans worship the stars and their moon. An Amaran creation myth is that the moon, Rurrri, was lonely and one day came to the land as a white fox-like creature. He was very lonely and wept through the night. When the sun came up, she took pity on Rurri and she, Surru, came down as a golden Amaran. It is said on Amar that the stars are the children of Rurri and Surru.
Hi Everybody! Have some art 
Here are my Star wars Galaxy 5 sketch cards, allllll of them. These first six outside the cut are my returns. I am not preselling, but if you’re interested in putting one on hold, drop me a line.
I hope you like ‘em
More behind the break…
I keep trying to squeeze in some art/super sale commissions etc into my life. I don’t know if all of you know, but I am in the midst of a career change form Graphic Design to Medical Lab Technology (MT, for you Amurricans). The class I’m in is super intense and I have a part time job to boot. So i have homework, downtime, work and school which hasn’t left me much time for arts.
I do plan on scanning in some class doodles, I have a couple of little commissions on the go and I’ll be doing some sketch cards for the new Star wars Galaxy 5 set (But no base card this time) only because I get the cards on my xmas break
Don’t you guys worry, I’ll be doing some more art for sure and my 501st helmet is coming along nicely.
Just thought I’d give y’all a little life update. Once all is said and done and I get all my work/play time sussed out you will see more in the way of arts.
I was given the opportunity to do some cards for this set and I have to say it’s really fun to work in the wide screen format.
First, my returns. I have reservations on Yoda and the Jedi Trio, but Cad bane is able to be reserved if you like him.
And here are a few pack inserted cards!
If you’d like to see the rest of the cards, check out the gallery!
Good news! I’m going to be producing 53 cards for the Clone Wars Wide Screen set.
The deadline is short, but it shall be done.
Also, check out my cutey commissions gallery. I’ve been doing these to pass the time.
Here’s one of the new ones:
I was recently commissioned to draw Yoda and Luke from Empire Strikes Back. I’ve been having fun with markers, but I decided to break out the watercolours. I miss the softer look.
Enjoy!
