I mod a worryingly growing list of communities. Ask away if you have any questions or issues with any of the communities.

I also run the hobby and nerd interest website scratch-that.org.

    Does Mara Jade even exist in Disney canon? In old EU she certainly wasn’t a Jedi during ESB.

    But yes, especially with Disney canon the number of Jedi or “former Jedi and not Jedi anymore but actually basically still just Jedi” running around has gotten out of control. I chalk it up to the original trilogy vaguely assuming the clone wars had happened longer ago than ended up being written.




  • I know commenters will probably be outraged by this sale, but to me this is just the status quo of the modern art scene. The high end art scene hasn’t been about appreciating the art itself since Andy Warhol (at least). The scene is just a bunch of people with too much money all pretending to be intellectuals to each other and buying garbage to prove how deep and meaningful it is. There’s probably also an element of money funny business as well, but I’m not versed enough to say the exact mechanisms, just that I feel in my bones that when people are trading around multi-million dollar paintings among other people in the scene that I am suspicious. There is as much personal expression and meaning in the AI creation as there is in most other pieces being pumped out.

    I have exactly as much respect for the AI art generator as I do for the rest of the human high end artists churning out junk for rich people.

    Mostly Zieler brand art markers. The colors blend well into themselves, although they tend to bleed out at the edges, so it can be tricky sometimes to color tight spaces. I have a few other random brands, like what I did the skin with, but those do tend to get those ugly lines, and I try to only use them for relatively small areas. My previous 3 drawings were all done with them rather than my Zielers and I can tell.

    Also you absolutely need a piece of cardboard spacer or the markers will bleed onto the next page.
