@summer-of-bad-batch prompt #5

Crosshair's a bit out of his comfort zone...

(peep Omega laughing and smiling for the camera during crosshair's rather dramatic display in the shallow end) for @summer-of-bad-batch

Learned a lot during this one. Honestly, I thought I wasn't going to finish, but the whole reason I'm doing this challenge is to, well, challenge myself to push through and keep going.

I've been so inspired by all the beautiful jedi ocs I've seen on here, that I finally worked up the courage to show off one of mine.

Imyr sprung from a rabbit hole I fell into where I somehow ended up at a tutorial on basic Arnis drills. That just sort of made me go. huh... that could totally be a lightsaber form

Anyways, yep, she's a Cathar Jedi Master. Her design is inspired by Jaguars and my fascination with Jedi clothing, (and this amazing post by gffa). I was playing with more traditional Japanese clothing (like a hakama) alongside interpretations of those clothes (like in anime). The reason why I ended up choosing to veer her away from a more traditional look is because I wanted to show a bit of her character that way.

Taking Inspiration from the jaguar motif, I wanted to establish her as a more solitary Jedi. As a species, Imyr is an ambush predator, which lends well for patience and hunting, but not so well with taking a hit she knows is coming. I've read a couple of interesting Ahsoka pieces that explore the perceptions put on her and her own struggles with being a predator in a universe largely dominated by (near) humans. But even with these struggles, Imyr is still a Jedi and wants to be one. This is why her clothing does have the typical Jedi inspiration, just with added individuality to express the simultaneous connection/disconnection she feels.

This sort of ran away from me but she's just my special girl.

couldn't get the idea of mad hatter chatterbox out of my head, so this is the design I came up with

"You really think you're going without me? Not going to happen." Cowabunga!
