The LAAT gunship shuddered as it landed. Its side doors opened and disgorged troops into a maelstrom of competing orange and blue blaster fire. Into this chaotic mess, I waded with my lit lightsabers. The gunship was already taking to the air again as I danced and twirled my blades around me, deflecting blaster fire back to the droids that had sent them.
There was no need to broadcast orders at the six companies of the 501st from my wristcom. We all knew our roles and assaulting a fixed...

Rationale:
This piece was my first work after my decision to return to making art, all the way back last year. As such it's rough in ways that I don't really like, but I kept plugging at it and then it just sat in my folio as I worked on other pieces and writing. It got to the point where I realized I had fallen into the old artist trap of never finishing something because I wanted to get it 'right'. An artist generally never 'finishes' a w...

The sense of relief that suffused me as I stood with bare feet on actual planetary soil was just… divine. For months I’d been cooped up on Resolute, first as work continued on her upgrades, then during fighter training, with no chance to be in a natural environment at all. Sure, this wasn’t Shili’s soil or even the Room of the Thousand Fountains in the Jedi Temple, but it was something at least.
“Feel better, Snips?” Anakin asked with an amused look on his face.

Dear Patrons,
I'm at a loss. Quite a lot of Star Wars is simply rule of cool in action. The military vehicles especially. Who can forget the towering, menacing AT-ATs in Empire Strikes Back and while I can justify them in my head for the bloated Imperial War Machine and because they tickle my Mechwarrior/Battletech itch and even the Clone War AT-TEs, there's one GAR land vehicle that has me face palming.
That is the Republic AT-RT - 2022-05-21 10:30:02 +0000 UTC

If there was one thing that challenged me when I was studying the Fine Arts and continues to this day, then it's the human (heh) face, feet and hands, especially when it's relatively small in the A4 size and the POV is pretty zoomed out.
This piece is my attempt to confront and practice the face aspect. I've incorporated a digital Auto-level to make the image pop out more - the raw scan was really dim. I then took a digital ...

“Commander on deck!”
Forty eight pilots stood from their seats in Briefing Room 2 in an instant. I knew the same was happening on the four other Venators of the Ryloth Task Group as I approached the lectern. A quick double check of the computer display on it, confirmed that my holo image was indeed being captured and beamed to where it was supposed to be going. Nothing would be more embarrassing than having to repeat the briefing due to a minor tech...

Hello wonderful patrons,
Hope you had a wonderful weekend and may there be an excellent week ahead of you.
I'm making this post as an update that, yes, the writing is going well and further development of content for the Patreon is also proceeding apace. This post is also to share a bit of news about a positive change that happened to me this past week, which you are helping with.
On the above picture, on the left, you see the pair of glasses that I've been using the past 7 ...

Chapter 4
The next morning I was back in the under-construction operating theater with my next partner. His name was Doctor Nate Sullivan and worked in the MRI as an image interpreter. He was a rather handsome find, late twenties, ultra blonde, short curly hair and had a wiry muscular build.
After I collected my sustenance from his delightful completely shaved cock, I had him fill the time until he recovered by exploring every inch of my body with his hands and mo...

We've added 4 new patrons! Wow. You are all amazing. But now I need your help.
I'm undecided on what starfighter Ahsoka would get. Her meritorious actions and innovations thus far has prompted Anakin to speak to the GAR and they've released funds for her to pick any starfighter of her choice, that is within reasonable means to acquire for Republic procurement.
Conditions are the fighter must have a hyperdrive and an astromech.
Of the option below the Jedi Bomber is quite obs...

Chapter 14
I stood in front of the command chair on the Resolute’s primary bridge and regarded the view outside with both satisfaction and frustration.
Senator…
Padme’s prediction on how long the Senate’s dithering would take, had been off by two weeks, and now here we were, two and half months later, on the final hyperspace leg to Ryloth.
The Resolute stood as the flagship of a task group of five Venator-class Star D...

Chapter 14 is complete and is now undergoing polishing. I'm aiming for this one to come out in full for patrons on Monday 25th April.
Chapter 13 will go public on 29th April.
I'm aiming to adopt a general fortnightly release schedule. If something is ready before then though, it'll be released. As always, my muse and real life influences things.
In the meantime, to tide you over for the weekend, here's a short snippet from Chp14:

Chapter 3
The day that followed was an uneventful procession of time. I had still felt no need for any sleep whatsoever and I had confirmed to myself that I was pretty much a ‘noctis cape’. It meant I really needed to find something productive to fill that sudden extra time with. I was pretty sure I would be using it for the near future to get my schooling up to snuff for getting the GED, but that would have to wait until I was back home and signed up for it.

Chapter 13
He hated the aftermath of battles. Even in victory, the procedures and reports to go through were tedious and numbed the mind in a way that had no equal in the galaxy. It was midday over the Sissirgo swamps and Anakin was at last boarding a LAAT gunship that would take him back to Theed. The gunship only had a few troopers on board, the last few who had remained on site until the RNSF had taken over security of the bunker. The free space allowed his padawan t...

Chapter 1
The ship shuddered under my hands, as I gripped onto the hard steel rungs of the ascending ladder. Sharp labored breathing echoed through my helmet, before I wrenched my will to focus and control my lungs. Fear threatened to rob me of movement and reason entirely, but to give in to it would be death. I moved my arms and legs laboriously against the increasing gravity as I climbed to a higher deck, it was an omnipresent reminder of the ticking clock I was worki...
