A Year of Quinlan

Cheers! And welcome to my Quinlan art blog!

The main goal of this blog is to challenge myself, to see how much Quinlan content I ( @ninjigma ) can create. Whether it be silly and sketchy or flushed out and with writing attached, any and all of it will be here and dedicated to one of my favorite characters. I plan to create at least one piece a week, but hope to make more little scribbles if I am inspired.

As a heads up, this blog will contain artwork with multiple ships, different relationships, and potentially sensitive/NSFW content posted or linked. Everything will be tagged appropriately for your ease of filtering; but also if you are not 18+, don’t let me catch you interacting with the said sensitive rated content.

In the end, the only real outline here will be 'all the Quinlan Vos content I enjoy'. If you find yourself enjoying it as well, then I hope you will join me on this journey 💛

Week 52 - April 13th, 2025 'Wanted Dead Or Alive' - Bon Jovi Spotify / YouTube

Had to do something for that Order 66 fall out, and it felt like a great way to end this chapter of creativity for how he keeps fighting, keeps going, and despite all that pain keeps helping. He has grown to be a very important character to me, and I’m hoping to share a little bit of that determination here with you all.

It’s honestly crazy how fast this year went to me, but I had an amazing time working and practicing with the pieces here and exploring Quinlan Vos more as a character, so I think it has also been a very successful year. And I’m proud of the mistakes and the successes 🤍 As always, my main art blog is @ninjigma and I’m sure I will be sharing plenty more Quinlan there as time goes on but for now, thank you all for joining me here for this.

Week 51 - April 6th, 2025 'Stand Up' - The Cab Spotify / YouTube

Just vibing this week. Taking some deep breaths.

Week 50 - March 30th, 2025 'The Devil Inside' - Daniel Murphy, Anthony Sanudo, Eric Serna Spotify / YouTube

This week was mostly about vibes, focusing more on the character storytelling then lighting or color. Creating zombie apocalypse designs was so much fun, conceptualizing a modern au and how hobbies or interests would translate to such character design. I may not be the happiest with other parts of the piece but I am proud of the designs, right down to even the wraps on his arms being based on kick boxing.

Week 49 - March 23rd, 2025 'The Rain' - Smash Into Pieces Spotify / YouTube

Getting very close to the end but I really enjoyed making this one. The pose was so strong and the lighting turned out so well, I just had a great time working on it. Even if the emotion is a bit more gut wrenching, it is a strong moment that I think speaks to Quinlan's struggles with the dark side and his own failings, his fight to be better for those he cares so much about. I will never stop loving him.

Week 48 - March 16th, 2025 'Silver Lining' - Mt. Joy Spotify / YouTube

This was just a personal joy for the sake of imagining him reacting to someone walking in on him because they were concerned after hearing how he had been injured on his latest mission. And he is trying to play it off a lot, hiding the mental toll it took as well, but his right side feels a bit like it's on fire and all he wants in a very hot shower and a very long nap. Whether said person joins him in those things or not is up to them ;)

Week 47 - March 9th, 2025 'Movement' - Hozier Spotify / YouTube

Color was such a challenge on this, cause water distorts like, everything XD But I love drawing these two, and this pose seemed properly dramatic for them.

Week 46 - March 2nd, 2025 'West Coast' - OneRepublic Spotify / YouTube

Decided to change up the week two days ago to do a piece more focused on practicing texturing and color. Have some other pieces I would like to make with more time and refined versions of this, but for a practice I am very happy.

Born of an idea of Quinlan in a modern AU enjoying swimming and surfing, enough for some local competitions.

Week 45 - February 23rd, 2025 'The Future's Right In Front of Me' - A Great Big World Spotify / YouTube

A sweetie for your timeline :)

Week 44 - February 16th, 2025 'Compass (Red Dead on Arrival Version)' - Jamie Lidell Spotify / YouTube

Got a tad carried away exploring effects and textures I could give the 'photo', but had a lot of fun with it and the pose. A version without all my excited texturing below the cut. :)

Enjoy!

Valentines Day - February 14th, 2025 'Waiting For Love' - Avicii Spotify / YouTube

Using butterfly's felt good for him, the double meanings for change, growing in a new stage of life though inherently lingering around death. With how Quinlan senses things in the Force and has struggled with death and the feelings of others echoing through him, changing him, it felt very right that he be surrounded by a creature that has that duality. And yes, their colors are a reflection of those close to him.

Then baby's breath, for it's hope, sincerity, everlasting love. And the red roses aren't just for the day, but also for the devotion and passion, the deeper red being deeper meaning. Red burns hot and strong for whatever emotion it is reflecting, whether good or bad, and again I find that Quinlan reflects that in his choices and struggles.

Week 43 - February 9th, 2025 'Celebrate The Reckless' - MAGIC GIANT Spotify / YouTube

He'll be fine. A bit foolish and maybe too nonchalant about how close a call it actually was, but he will be as silly and determined as ever.

Week 42 - February 2nd, 2025 'Talk Too Much' - COIN Spotify / YouTube

Havin some good quality food (and even better company).

Week 41 - January 26th, 2025 'Mirage - for Assassin's Creed Mirage' - OneRepublic, Assassin's Creed, Mishaal Tamer Spotify / YouTube

Loved making this one. I find the style a bit trickier with making sure the lighting lands properly, but I’m always so happy with it when it turns out. And I love the little scene in my mind that goes with it, a piece from shadow story where Quin is about to do something that the kids he’s hiding would call “so awesome!”

Week 40 - January 19th, 2025 'Them Dirty Bones' - A Mike Waters Spotify / YouTube

Just being a little silly (it was a long day training).

Week 39 - January 12th, 2025 'Dancing in the Moonlight' - King Harvest Spotify / YouTube

They don't get the chance to be simply in love nearly enough.

Week 38 - January 5th, 2025 'Eye Of The Storm' - X Ambassadors Spotify / YouTube

Ever since he was young Quinlan had been surviving storms. He had listened to the wind scream and the thunder roar. He had hidden from pouring rain and curled tight against raging sands. He remembered the cries of lonely children, and the desperation of searching parents. How even the strongest foundations could give away and the tallest buildings fall. No matter how old he got or where he was, when that familiar spark of impending power danced across his skin he tensed. The rains, the lightening, the fires, the winds. He braced for the screaming and roaring, the rage and the fear. But now Quinlan didn't even flinch. He let the storm steal the world around him, let it carry all its anger and power past him like nothing more then an aborted cry. He was at peace with daring nature to touch him, to confront him in a way that was now more familiar and comforting then not. Because what could such power do to him, when all he cared about was already destroyed?

Just some 'Shadow Story' thoughts of a post order 66 Quinlan.
