after attempting to commission art of boba fett without his helmet, i am forced to consider that a good number of artists, subconsciously or not, cannot accept that temuera morrison has always been hot despite his lack of european features, and honestly this explains a lot about the fucking travesty that is every single clone's face in TCW and TBB

#me: okay here is a reference image of young temuera morrison #the artist‚ without fail: /outputs image of a man with a chiseled jaw‚ narrow nose‚ and prominent cheekbones #me: ...who tf is this #i was literally spending hours trying to edit the images to look more like morrison #rounding out the jaw‚ making the nose bigger‚ completely redrawing the eyebrows etc #and i spent a lot of those hours wondering if this explained why the clones look Like That in TCW and TBB #i think it might be tbh #i feel it's kind of like when an artist has a preconceived notion of a hand #and that makes it much harder for them to draw a hand that actually resembles a hand #artists/animators have a preconceived notion of handsomeness #which includes features like a chiseled jaw and prominent cheekbones‚ etc #so they see temuera morrison. they see that he is hot. so they draw him with those ''hot'' features even though he doesn't have them #it's very frustrating to see‚ esp in some of the most popular SW media of the last decade #boba fett #temuera morrison #bit of a vent post
