Update/redraw/paint of this from a couple years ago, important lore moment (Jo gets her cool scar)

After he specifically said not to

I’m a few days late for national self portrait day, so I’m doing a full updated meet the artist 🤓

I like to imagine in an alternate universe, during the clone wars, yoda finds a way to contact dooku and simply says “shoop”.

Dark Rendezvous would have gone differently

Omar Sharif! A person after my own heart! I totally see the resemblance

I scrolled past a gif set from Lawrence of Arabia and was suddenly inspired haha

And he was definitely super calm and rational about that

The reason Thame is able to store so much of his research in his brain is because he immediately dumps any info he doesn’t deem crucial.

They’ll talk about how they’re getting too old for this stuff, then accept some super dangerous assignment anyway

Double post day 🫡

Honestly excited to explore Jocasta and Thame Cerulian as a padawan/master duo. How’s this gonna work? Will they even get along? Who’s training who?

Jedi Master Thame Cerulian

I’ve been meaning to sit down and come up with a design for this guy for a while, and after starting and stopping a few times, we’re finally here. The other day I saw @revanisadumbass mention they headcanon Thame as being Jocasta’s master and that gave me the strength I needed to get back to this bc I’m sick of waiting for canon to catch up with my special interests and I’ve been headcanoning that for years lol.

Even though he started out as this mysterious guy we hear about but never meet in Jude Watson’s book, he ends up being kind of a dork in the Path of the Jedi tbh. I think he’s a perfect foil for Jocasta. Thame is a valuable resource— he’s a wealth of knowledge, he’s a highly accomplished historian, he’s a well respected scholar… but he’s also a little goofy. I think Jo having to dig through a bunch of dad jokes and puns to get to the information she needs would be very frustrating for her, and she may or may not end up learning to be more patient with him lol.

I ended up l o o s e l y basing his design off of Omar Sharif. He’s outgoing and confident, so I’m drawing him with sort of snazzy hair and fancy stache. But he’s also somewhat absentminded, so he’s got a curl out of place and 5 o’clock shadow. And for some reason, Corellian Jedi wear green robes, so that’s cool. He’s basically wearing what Corran Horn wears 🤷 anyway, that’s where this guy came from! I’ve tried really hard to get to know Thame better while drawing him over the past couple days, and I think I like him? He seems kind of fun and silly? I have to get going on Lene Kostana now 😵‍💫

It’s probably nothing 💧

[emily-escott]

They’re gonna crack up about this for months years

They’re gonna crack up about this for months

They both think the answer to all of their problems has something to do with a secret army of clones, one of them just doesn’t know that yet

👇👇👇 Important canon vs headcanon infodump below 👇👇👇

These are basically all I had to work with back in the day, plus the Jango Fett: Open Seasons comics about Galidraan, exactly one image of (alive) Sifo Dyas and that interview with Alethea McGrath where she said she imagined Dooku and Jocasta had been a thing. Legacy of the Jedi establishes that Dooku and Qui-Gon are only ten years apart in age, and that’s pretty much what inspired my early comics. There’s also this kid named Lorian Nod who’s basically a worse, early version of Sifo Dyas, as well as Thame Cerulian who for some reason trains Dooku instead of just Yoda. This is basically all legends/eu now anyway, and I think that’s largely for the best lol

I’m gonna be honest, I haven’t read Dooku: Jedi Lost or anything else that’s come out recently 😬👍 I’m more or less aware of the plot and characters, but some of it disrupts the headcanons that I’ve developed over the years, so I really don’t get too much into it. This is important because that means you’re not gonna see any Rael Averross, and some of the characters’ timelines will be ✨different✨ lol. I headcanon that Dooku chose Qui-Gon shortly after being knighted, and Qui-Gon’s death ultimately gave Dooku the final push to leave the order. That being said, I love that Sifo Dyas has been fleshed out and I really enjoy a lot of the character development in general! So there’s gonna be plenty more Sifo in the future, but don’t think too hard about what I post because I’m just a silly guy who doesn’t know anything hahaha

Anyway, this basically didn’t cover anything lol but now you know that I’m just out here drawing these guys with very little regard for canon🕺

Do any of you guys have these books? Or did you read them? Are these ancient texts now?? We had all the Jude Watson Jedi Apprentice books but I think my mom donated them years ago.
