Grupo de Seguridad y Defensa de Bases, group of security and defense of (air) bases, the Colombian Air Force ground forces, charged with guarding their installations around the country.

i think it is time to treat myself with some rough concepts for a few of the core characters :D

(1,2 - Tepla, 3- Jiyo)

these are some rough first designs but i figured i should keep my tumblr loves updated!!

I have been really looking into real life culture/fashion and also trying to do more work on understanding star wars cultures so that my characters and stories feel more rich and lively and whatnot!! Jiyos design in particular i have tried to implement some of that but these are prettt rough designs and i still want to add my own ideas/headcannons to the characters to make my au a little unique!

some tidbits about the characters:

Tepla:

• you can probably tell, she’s a temple gaurd! I haven’t done too much work on her story so far but the general vibe is unrequited love (she’s very strict to the code and pretty oblivious to any sort of emotion)

•she does NOT fit the tendrils in that helmet, it’s open at the back but she sorta ties them in to a braid if ykwim

• very androgynous, she’s like your handsome space knight girlfriend if you catch my drift.. like her gender IS space knight.. i find that very gender

Jiyo

•A pantoran jedi

• their outfits in the show always reminded me of old russian clothing so i’ve been doing a bunch of research on 12th century russian fashion and in general, slavic clothing, but this outfit isn’t completely accurate and i’m kinda just running on vibes (i am so sleep deprived writing this)

• initially i pictured her as a martial artist, with all the jewelry i like to think she jingles and makes pretty sounds when she fights

i haveee one more jedi oc i want to flesh out before jedijune because i am hoping to use them all for the prompts <3
