Asajj Ventress’ lightsabers
From Star Wars: The Lightsaber Collection (2020):
“[She’s] amazingly intelligent,” said voice actor Nika Futterman. “The voice makes her so confusing, [and] I think it makes her scarier too. I love playing scary characters! […] You can’t help but wonder what made her this way. That’s what I think this character [brings] to the table—a real sense of history [and] the personal, internal war.”
Both of Ventress’s blades have bent hilts reminiscent of Dooku’s saber. Striped black hand grips along the silver hilts give the sabers an animalistic appearance. Ventress can connect the hilts end to end, forming a double-bladed weapon with an S-shaped grip.
From The Official Star Wars Fact File (2014) #112: 
Ventres finally lost her two lightsabers on Coruscant, when they were taken from her by fallen Jedi Barriss Offee. Though initially inconvenienced at the loss of her distinctive weapon, Asajj found to her surprise that she welcomed the chance to put the last physical link to her former Master, Count Dooku, behind her. She designed a new lightsaber, this time with a more conventional straight handle. 
Whatever the crystal’s origin, the colour of her blade when she first ignited it was both a reassurance and a satisfaction to Ventress. The blade was pale yellow. The kyber crystal, imbued with the Force and - as was usual - taking its colour from the personality of the wielder, showed that Asajj had indeed left behind the machinations of the Sith. Equally, she had not edged toward the Jedi in any way. The blade and the crystal confirmed she was who she was - simply Ventress.
While the lower section had a traditional ridged grip and fully closed section for the power cell, the upper section - which comprised some three fifths of the total length - was made up of perforated metal. This left the inner workings visible, though it didn’t seem to render the blade vulnerable to moisture. That the glowing heart of the weapon seemed somehow vulnerable, yet remaining safe and powerful, spoke volumes of Asajj’s own state of being.

I really love Ventress’ new design when we see her after she leaves Dathomir. At this point she has lost two identities in so little time. She is no longer with the Sith, fighting against the Republic, and she is no longer a Nightsister.
So she somehow needs to salvage what remains of her past and collect what wouldn’t be detrimental to her in this new life as an anonymous bounty hunter.
The concept illustration was made by Chris Glenn, and when designing her new outfit, on her shoulder, you’ll see an image of a black twisting snake.
The choice was intentional since snakes are often painted as malevolent but are actually misunderstood creatures – only attacking when provoked or threatened and not inherently evil.

CCC OBITINE REUNION PANEL NOTES
Okay so I was at Chattanooga ComicCon, and I was able to attend the Obitine Reunion panel with the incredible Anna Graves and James Arnold Taylor. I got to take some notes, and they are the following...
Anna confirmed Satine's scar from Obi-Wan dropping her on Draboon is on her knee.
Anna said that Young!Satine would have worn lots of pantsuits during the year on the run. Lots of colour, beading, intricate fabric, and pants. Especially like the pink outfit.
James and Anna said Satine would have liked scrunchies (with calla lilies on them)
Anna said Satine's starbucks order would be a cinnamon dulche de leche.
Anna also said Satine hated camping but she could handle herself just fine.
James said Obi-Wan would fit in great in Downton Abbey.
James said he's been begging Filoni for him to tell the story of Obi-Wan and Satine's story.
James confirmed Obi-Wan should have apologized IN PERSON to Satine after the Deception plot. Anna said there was no actual apology ):
As an Obitine Shipper this panel was a dream come true and as an Obitine shipper I know how rare new content is, so I felt inclined to share.

Hello. Do you have any information about unproduced TCW comic stories. I once came across a comic artist's blog who claimed to have sumbitted a pitch about Anakin and Boba Fett teaming up on Mos Eisley for a joint investigation. The story would have seen Anakin confess to Boba about killing the Tusken Raiders as they both discussed respectivly wanting to avenger a parent. I lost track of the blog and the comicbook artist's name but maybe you also stumbled on the same pitch.
Sorry, I've never heard of it. Sounds like a cross between Boba and Anakin's meeting in the Legends young reader novel Boba Fett: Pursuit and the Boba-Bane Tatooine arc. But that pitch sure is interesting!
if anyone knows anything, please reply/reblog with comments!

In time for #Ahsoka excitement, here's my design of Ahsoka II for Star Wars The Clone Wars Season 3, done under the great direction of Dave Filoni and Kilian Plunkett. Learned so much from those guys. As TCW turns 15, [10 April, 2023] is a 14 yr mark of this particular design. Time flies

Mandalore Palace Mural This is a mural design I did for Star Wars TCW. The brief was to depict the great struggle of the Mandalorians VS the Jedi. Drawn heavily from Picasso as influence, it was one of a more interesting piece I did.

At the crossroad of #MetGala2023 and #MayThe4thBeWithYou, here's some early sketches for Queen Julia of Bardotta from Star Wars The Clone Wars Season 6. Early on, she was to look quite different than how she did on the screen. The final look change was done last min.

A concept art of the Felucia Tomb from Star Wars The Clone Wars S5. Def one of my favorite of Prequel planets. Trying to follow the footsteps of [Ryan Church] on this one. On TCW, we were always standing on many great SW artists' shoulders.
