To add to the discussion/reminder that Theron Shan is poc and not white: a seemingly small yet significant detail about his design-- true to both the game model and concept art-- is that his eyes are monolid.

This trait is shared with Satele Shan:

Monolids are common among people of East and Southeast Asian descent.

For my fellow artists out there; here's a guide on portraying Asian traits and avoiding whitewashing [*largely applies to East Asian]. I bring this up mainly cus I often see art portraying both Theron and Satele without their monolids.

Side note: though in-game Jace Malcom has double-lid eyes

I've seen instances where he also has monolids, like in cinematics. Felt this was something worth noting.

Overall, in any case: both Satele and Malcom are very obviously not white and have features notably absent from art of Theron, official and fan made.

Keeping Theron's parents in mind when portraying him is important even when things between official art, cinematic trailers, and in-game look a bit inconsistent and some speculativeness may be needed. Fan-artists and official artists alike often seem to struggle with giving Theron his parent's features, to show him with ethnic traits; that needs to change.

Bottom line: Theron is poc! Both of his bio parents are poc! And that should show in how he's visually portrayed!

So Theron basically is Polywasian? Anyways he's got a rich ethnical background and quite unique features so it's easy to draw him too white or too asian by accident. To add to this post (since lately people are putting more guides to draw him?), lemme associate which features come from which parent!

Hair: Satele, both have brown hair and grays as they get older. But the hair volume/texture is probably closer to Jace.

Face shape: Jace.

Eyebrows: Jace.

Eyes: He has Satele's monolids but has Jace's hooded eyes. Eye color more likely to be from Jace's side since they're greenish and the Shans seem to have a strong blue eye gene but it could be either since we don't know the grandparents eyes colors 🤷‍♀️

Ears: Satele.

Nose: Jace.

Mouth: a bit of both but lips leaning more Jace, I think. But the mouth lines more Satele.

Well, may I offer the following! An old video from Sno E. Blac's youtube, where she talks about how she is Satele Shan.

At about 1:13 in the video, she says, "my character is Satele Shan."

Her IMDB profile says she is Korean and Caucasian, which is information provided from a now deleted interview from askajedi.

I've had to go to the waybackmachine for this interview, since it's since been deleted from the website.

Transcript of screenshot:

Ask A Jedi: Can you tell us a little bit about your background, and how you came into portraying Satele Shan? Sno E. Blac: I grew up in small towns across Florida and Georgia. My Mother is Korean and my Father is Caucasian – so thats where the unique look of Satele Shan comes from ;-). Prior to acting I did a bunch of beauty pageants througout Georgia and California. In regards to this role, I was selected through a casting process…and voila – here I am today! This is the shortened version obviously, but should give you an idea how I got tied to this great project.

And this article from 2012, after the game's release, is from her college UCLA. https://dailybruin.com/2012/01/16/4f14a2c7423a4 Here's an excerpt from the first paragraph.

"For actress and UCLA student Sno E. Blac, this is a reality. Serving as the likeness for the video game character Satele Shan in the MMORPG, or Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, "Star Wars: The Old Republic,"

Now unfortunately we've never had information regarding who was the model for Jace's face. But, as previously mentioned, Jace, and the trooper class as a whole, are very clearly inspired by the clones from the movies and TCW, who are in turn portrayed by Maori actors: Temuera Morrison as an adult, and Daniel Logan who played kid Boba Fett in the prequels.

Sorry for the late response. A lot has been happening. I decided to do Peyar and Meva.

1: What position does your character sleep in? ( i.e; stomach, side, back, etc. ) Describe why they do this — optional.

Meva - Fetal position on her side. It protects all her precious organs and takes up as little space as possible. With Theron, she still sleeps on her side but cuddled up to his back. (Yes Theron is the little spoon in this relationship.)

Peyar - Miralukas in my headcanon for the race don't sleep much. When she does sleep it's usually on her back.

6: If you were to pick one song — and only one song — to describe your character, what would it be and why?

Ironically a lot of my ocs already have songs picked out for them.

Meva - Time of Dying by Three Day Grace. I feel like the song captures a lot of her feelings towards the Empire (it being a nightmare and the constant murder attempts against her) and her continued perseverance against the odds.

Peyar - Rule 39 Lore by Fish in a Birdcage. I had a lot of trouble thinking of a song that fits her as a lot of my music preferences doesn't fit her. I chose this song because she has force echo (ability to witness events of the past through objects) and I feel like a song about the importance of stories fits it.

11: What do they think of creation? Do they believe in evolution or do they believe in God? What is their religion like?

Meva - She isn't particularly religious considering she is a force wielder. She doesn't believe in the Sith or Jedi code and she doesn't feel a connection to Mirialan's religious views due to her being raised as a slave. The Force to her is a tool to her freedom nothing more and nothing less.

Peyar - Peyar follows the Miraluka's religion and is even a member of their religious order (I'll write down the world building for this later). She believes that there needs to be balance in the galaxy which often includes both the dark and the light, life and death.

18: Are they a leader, do they prefer to follow, or would they rather just stay on the sidelines altogether?

Meva - Meva much rather be on the sidelines she wants a quiet life where she has her freedom but if she can't have that she would rather be a leader so she can hold onto her freedom.

Pairing: Darth Malgus/Eleena Daru (Vereena)

Rating: Explicit (contains scenes of male masturbation)

I did actually have a couple more characters in "the vault" so time to drop them... Introducing Darth Maligna! I was debating having her officially in the Zeel legacy but story-wise she feels more like one of my floaters, perfect to slot in wherever I need an unhinged Chiss Sith. So, some facts about her:

She was what you might call a diplomatic exchange. Shunned for her skill in the Force, unable to be exploited as a navigator, her mother did actually like her enough to wish she had a better lot in life. So she gets passed off to a Sith diplomat to become the Sith's ward.

Maligna was very young and did not understand why her loving mother tossed her away. This sparked a lifelong obsession with people in the 'wrong' place - Sith pureblood Jedi, Chiss who follow the Jedi or Sith codes, even to an extent defectors. She collects them, if she can. She does not bother getting their consent for this.

Only Maligna's Sith benefactor knows her birth name - Maligna believes she should not have a Chiss name if she is not living like a Chiss, and Chiss should not be Sith, therefore. She picks the name Maligna long before she's allowed to put a Darth in front of it.

Finally finished the reference sheets for my sinister SWTOR Sith! Behold, the two genders: angry squiggle and stickbug. :>

with a bonus Vette (he asked for NO pickles):

hi hi thank you for the ask :] i decided to answer these questions for Areia because she's been monopolizing all my blorbo thoughts as of late and unwilling to let anyone else speak 💀 which is very her when you think about it...

2. Does your character have any noteworthy features? Freckles? Dimples? A scar somewhere unusual? etc.

Areia is Echani, so her most noteworthy feature is her silver eyes. many people find them unsettling and unnatural; paired with her dark makeup, her eyes definitely add to her intimidating and seductive aura. as for scars in unusual places, she has one that runs across her hip and one underneath her chin. the former is likely from an assassination attempt while the latter is from a childhood accident.

I've been rewatching Apothecary Diaries and also over the past couple days I've binge-watched Mononoke and the currently available movies... how I've never watched it before is beyond me. japanese horror series with the supernatural and folklore, and an absolutely gorgeous art direction??? that's right up my alley!!!

I'm getting off track. anyways i drew my favoritest teeniest tiniest jedi in something that looks more like hanfu than monk robes, and was very heavily inspired by the use of textures and patterns in Mononoke's art direction.

also to my surprise there's actually a paper lantern decor piece from the copero flashpoint so that's why this particular lantern is shaped like that

100th ART FIGHT ATTACK AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

Im so silly proud that I managed it XD Its got 12 Jedi characters of 10 different SWTOR artists! And they're all hanging out on Thyton waiting to report on their mission :D Some of these artists are: @yamikuruku, @dingoat, @thelealinhypehouse, @jukkaricity and @hermitmoss (the rest of em dont have a tumbr)

5 experimental bust-up slots are open on vgen ! $30 USD or $40 CAD / surprise me pieces ( skeb ). since i'm still sorting out my style crisis and figuring out csp i thought this could be a fun lil way to practice and have some cheaper comm options to go towards my dental bills 🧡
