A second work dump, and the first of 2 I plan to release today for you guys. Everything here was done this week and as you can see I focused a bit on my Star Wars Universe and also brainstormed for my new series, which is currently under the working title of Arcana (named for the town it's set in, not the school).

On the Star Wars front I wanted to get a Jedi council made, so I made a few to go along with what I have already. But I still don't have names, lightsabers, or backstories for them with one exception...I played with the idea of the Empress being a former Jedi that left the order when she fell for a member of the royal family. This would explain why her children are force sensitive (a bit of a spoiler...but not unforeseen I'm sure). I also played with the Twi'Lek Lekku a bit so that I can have options later on if I plan to do more of them. My idea for their outfits has also evolved a bit. Originally I wanted them to reflect their classification within the order (Conusor, Guardian, Sentinel), but then started having fun with it and realized it was a bit redundant given that the lightsabers do that already with their coloring. So now I'm shifting more towards the outfit is representative of which temple they are associated with. Of course then I gotta figure out which planets have temples, and who doesn't get representation on the council. So for now I'm gonna do some more research and the robe styles mean nothing. I also included a female trooper armor, I personally don't like the idea of a feminized trooper. I prefer they all look the same regardless of gender or race, like when you look at Phasma or a cosplayer (a 501st member, not a "Sexy Stormtrooper" that seems to be the default Google search). So I really made it for Jedi purposes.

Now onto the other series highlighted in this Workdump. As of now I am calling it Arcana; it is set in a small coastal town (Arcana) where the strange and the supernatural are common. Here I have a male variant for the University uniform as well as one of the male students. I also have a baseline for a Vincent Price inspired character...because what supernatural series would be complete without a Vincent Price type? Of course I need to do some changes, because here I basically took my Vincent Van Ghul, put him in a suit, and stretched him because the guy was 6'4". I also included some "Big Bads" for the series with the Faceless Man, a sort of Boogeyman-like character I made a long time ago, but now he gets a full makeover as I wanted him to be inhumanly proportioned. I originally was gonna put him in a suit like before, but I also had this coat I made that I really liked but wasn't being used very much. So the Candyman/Mister X/Nemesis/Scarecrow influence shines through a bit now with that. The other Big Bad I got is called the White Witch. My thought process on this one was to take something that shouldn't be scary (in this case a fairy), and make it one of the most dangerous beings in the series. An idea that probably came from my love of Dragon Ball and his tendency to make the most powerful enemies the smallest ones. Think Anna Kendrick if she were playing Maleficent; sure she's the mistress of evil...but she's still Anna Kendrick. But then I got into the idea that I wanted to use my own races and tried to make it less fairy-like...clearly I need more tweaks to make it a more unique race.

And lastly I was playing around with animal templates a bit, In this case I made a bit of a tribute to my actual cat, whom I recently had to put down after 20 years.
