For @fordoweek day 2: armors and stories

(ID + textless variant under the cut)

[ID 1: Fanart of Captain Fordo from the Star Wars franchise. He's in full armor, without his helmet. It's Phase I with a kama and an officer pauldron. There are info boxes pointing at specific armor parts. Transcription: 1: Unsanctioned paint color (formerly for captains. now only for him, apparently.); 2: Coruscant Guard officer pauldron (he "borrowed" Thire's); 3: 17's custom holsters that Fordo "found" on 17's bunk the ground; 4: Cody's (first and only) kama. Custom made: insulated, blast resistant, with beaded weights sewn in the bottom hem... and he "lost" it before his first mission! 5: Mysterious traces of orange paint. End transcription. Infobox 5 points to a zoom in on the kama's hem, where orange paint can be seen under red paint. /END ID]

[ID 2: Fanart of Captain Fordo from the Star Wars franchise. He's in full armor, without his helmet. It's Phase I with a kama and an officer pauldron. It is the same picture as the one above but without info boxes. /END ID]

So it's @fordoweek am I right?

Well I admit that due to *gestures vaguely at whatever happened* I kinda forgot about the event and then panicked and did this XD

Well, a severed pipe isn't exactly a conventional weapon so I guess it counts?

@fordoweek - UNCONVENTIONAL WEAPON: ALPHA-17 (literally)

ID + bonus under the cut

This came to me in a vision and fomo made me quite lichrally draw it at the last minute so please excuse any inaccuracy 🙇🏽

[ID 1: Fanart of Fordo and Alpha-17 from the Star Wars franchise. They are both in armor; Seventeen is upside down, his left leg held by Fordo who seems ready to throw him with all his strength like one would a spear, except the spear happens to be Seventeen. /END ID]

[ID 2: Close up of Seventeen; a thought bubble has been added with the text: "Not this shit again…" /END ID]

For @fordoweek day 5: Old Scars

(ID + bonus Alpha-17 under the cut)

[ID 1: Fanart of Captain Fordo from the Star Wars franchise. He is doing a cross-arm stretch. His body glove is dangling around his waist; his chest and arms are bare. He has stretch marks over his belly, his arms and his shoulder. He has a long scar on his right flank, a surgical one on his shoulder, a small round blaster scar below his left pectoral and what looks like chemical burns on his left forearm. He is still wearing his gloves, his greaves and his boots. He looks smug; he's probably checking himself out in a mirror. /END ID]

[ID 2: Fanart of Alpha-17 from the Star Wars franchise and an original Nautolan character. Alpha-17 is frowning and looking unimpressed; there is a thought bubble next to him with the sentence "Show off…". The Nautolan is peeking behind his shoulder: she is a small child under 10 with big wide eyes. /END ID]

For @fordoweek alt 7: "Assigned" Jedi

(ID under the cut)

They stopped putting him on Temple duty because he kept stealing kids pretending they were his COs :/

[ID: Fanart of Fordo from the Star Wars franchise with a Nautolan original character. The Nautolan is a young Jedi child; she's sitting on Fordo's shoulders, Fordo's too-big helmet on her head. Her arms are raised in victory. Fordo is holding her leg with his right hand; he is grinning. /END ID]

For @fordoweek day 4: Against All Odds (they're still here!)

(ID + textless variant under the cut)

well I think I accidentally created an OC 😶 She's the Jedi kid from this art; I'm guessing they either stuck together once the Empire rose, or found each other again, and Fordo decided she's his kid now 🤷🏽 She goes by Sir, because she likes how Fordo signs it, and somehow 17 got thrown in so now I guess she's his kid too 🤷🏽

[ID 1: Fanart of Captain Fordo from the Star Wars franchise and Sir, an original Nautolan character. They're on a desert planet at sunset; Sir is crouching on Fordo's right shoulder, with her right hand shading her eyes from the sun and her left arm casually dropped on top of Fordo's head. Fordo is looking the other way with binoculars and a smile on his face. They both seem to be with the Rebellion: Sir is wearing an orange jumpsuit, and Fordo has a rebel jacket over his trooper chestplate. There's a speech bubble above Fordo's head; Sir says, "Can you see Seventeen? He said he'd be here…" /END ID]

[ID 2: The same picture as above, without the speech bubble.]

@fordoweek continues and Aganst All Odds, I'm catching up on what I've missed...

Not as, hmm, all-out as the Reconditioning piece but a nice pic nevertheless I think, especially since I don't really do odd poses and dramatic lighting (said the guy who's been doing odd poses and dramatic lighting for a good while already)

The next pic will be of, *gasp* today's prompt! stay tuned!

For @fordoweek day 7: Downtime 🔆

(ID under the cut)

ngl apart from day 2 i lichrally drew the day arts on their posting day so i am pretty happy with them!

[ID: Fanart of Captain Fordo from the Star Wars franchise. He is outside: it's very sunny and the sky is bright blue with a couple of clouds. It looks like he's taking a selfie: he's grinning, shirtless, and he's making a V-gesture with his left hand. He's still wearing his glove. /END ID]

@swfandomevents @clonefandomevents

As the @fordoweek is going on, I guess I should catch up on the stuff I missed. Sadly today's prompt won't be posted (it's 2am where I am currently) BUT, I have finally finished yesterday's prompt, that is Decomissioning/Reconditioning

So I've decided to go a less obvious route, that is my thought process carried me from "reconditioning" to the "erasure of self to be more palatable for a broken system". Far-fetched? Probably, but what can I do, I bet if it was made by some Big Name from the Serious Art World it would be hanging in some prestigious gallery... But as it's made by me, it is not ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not me starting fordo wips for @fordoweek one day before fordo week begins 🤠

For @fordoweek day 6: Ghosts and Curses

(ID + still under the cut)

I have this thing in which my art remains pretty lighthearted while my fics are always all kinds of weird; I wanted to keep all fordoweek arts on the sweeter side so I think this does count as ghost and curses without being too spooky or sad?

[ID 1: Animated fanart of Captain Fordo from the Star Wars franchise. Portrait of Fordo staring at the viewer, eyes wide; he's clearly spooked and sweating from the forehead. Behind him are two eyes looking at him. When the eyes settle on the view they close immediately. After a while, they open again to stare at Fordo, then at the viewer on a loop. /END ID]

[ID 2: A still of the GIF, with the eyes looking at Fordo. The dark layer has been removed for easier viewing. /END ID]

Listing triggers in case the tag filters don't work: scopophobia, scoptophobia, horror, spooky.

As promised, I've delivered the thing, the sequel to my Against All Odds prompt pic for the @fordoweek

See? I promised you he'll be fine!
