Your enthusiastic, hydrated, emotionally sound, and well-rested Supreme Leader is ready to rule 👑

(WIP)

[starryjaybird]

I’ve only shared my SW fanart here on Tumblr so far, but art is really just a side-hobby to my real passion - costuming.  I mainly focus on historical costumes, so when I first watched TFA, I instantly noticed all of the similarities between Kylo’s outfit and women’s fashion from around 1909, especially since there was a big fad for pleated sleeves and collars around that date.  So one of the first things that I did after watching the movie was to doodle this little dress idea and start looking for historical garments with Kylo-esque elements. I made my Edwardian Kylo costume last summer, and I got to wear it to a con with some friends who designed their own historical versions of Star Wars costumes from a wide variety of eras. I think we confused a lot of people, but it was a ton of fun!  The dress on its own can pass for an authentic Edwardian gown pretty easily, but I also made some more obviously Kylo accessories - like the saber-hilt parasol, belt-buckle, and a First Order enameled purse - so people will get the joke.

My go at an alternate, more elegant (but hopefully still appropriate) Supreme Leader outfit for Kylo Ren.

My go at an alternate post-TLJ outfit design for Rey.

I wanted something really feminine, more "grown up" but still "Rey", dark colors to reflect her current state of mind / place she's at in her character arc, but not totally colorless...

She is thinking thoughts…

Ok! I think it’s safe to say I got a little carried away with this😅

Hello Again (Reylo), a rough animatic experiment / wip (though it does get a little cleaner midway through as I found my footing / decided I really did want to finish it). It’s a tribute to TLJ Reylo + the “She had seen this man before, in a daydream. In a nightmare” theory that I loved so very much back in the day.

Hoooooooo boy once I get the hang of animating again and stop being the slowest and most easily distracted artist on the face of the earth it’s OVER for the Reylos 😤

Rey's turnabout is coming along (slowly)

Some non-holo versions of Leia and little Ben💙

Conceptual drawings (I guess?) of a scene where Leia opens up and tells Rey about what broke their little family apart and why.

Decided to update/finish these old lil' TLJ doodles and make them available as stickers, shirts, pins etc. on RedBubble, as well as Teepublic!✨

I drew him like a paper dolly so it was easier to change parts or redesign it as needed😏
