Aaand another one from a while ago (29 April '16). The anatomy's a little more crooked [sup]dear God those hands... xD[/sup] (this was my first 'proper' attempt at drawing humans properly) and the proportions are WAY off compared to the (slight) improvement in what I can draw now, but I'm still pretty proud of it as a first attempt <3 I actually might have a go at re-drawing this again sometime close to a year's time as a "draw this again"/"improvement" type thing :D Another Carth and my (fem!)Revan, set post-KOTOR plotline [img]http://orig08.deviantart.net/0eb2/f/2016/120/9/0/906dc4f86389ad28d24dae53ddb2152f-da0rqpa.png[/img] [url=http://xaphanea-stock.deviantart.com/art/Couple-Stock-3-11539485]Reference used[/url] [center][i]Well, maybe I'm a crook for stealing your heart away Yeah, maybe I'm a crook for not caring for it Yeah, maybe I'm a bad, bad, bad, bad person Well, baby, I know. And these fingertips Will never run through your skin And those bright blue eyes Can only meet mine across the room filled with people that are less important than you So I think it's best we both forget before we dwell on it The way you held me so tight All through the night 'Til it was near morning 'Cause you love, love, love When you know I can't love You love, love, love When you know I can't love You love, love, love When you know I can't love you ~"Love Love Love"-Of Monsters And Men[/i] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beiPP_MGz6I [/center] I also wrote a little story snippet with this one which was actually pretty good as well considering I hadn't written fanfic/solo for a good couple years before this XD [hider=Story, because spoilers for the KOTOR plot even though the game's been out for like 13 years now lol] [center][i]It had been only a few weeks since the destruction of the Star Forge and the defeat of Darth Malak. They had all come off lucky, for a moment she had been worried that they would not bring Bastila back to the light and that they would have to kill her, too, but the sentinel had come around at just the right moment and their party had made it off the collapsing station just in time. With a ship as fast as the Ebon Hawk it wasn't a surprise, really; there probably wasn't a thing in the galaxy this ship couldn't out-fly. But it couldn't get her away from the horrific visions, and even Carth's presence beside her at night could not keep them at bay. Every night, the memories of her past life as the Sith Lord would return to haunt Revan, and it seemed that each time more of her atrocious deeds would be made clear. As had become the routine, she jolted awake and clamped a hand over her mouth to muffle her shout so as not to disturb him. Carth's eyelids twitched and his arms tightened around her waist but he did not stir tonight. Good, she hadn't woken him. Taking a shaky breath, Revan carefully extricated herself from his embrace and crept away towards the main hold of the ship. These nightmares were becoming too much for her to bear, and this time it had been something so terrible that she could no longer simply ignore it. It was out there, and if it was allowed to grow stronger the whole galaxy would be swallowed by it. She had to find it, finish it off for good and put an end to what she had started all those years ago. She had almost thought she'd pulled it off. Slipping away unnoticed before any of her companions would see her. She would be gone by first light, Carth would know what to tell them, she had left a message on his datapad. As she reached the hallway that led to the loading ramp she was halted by the sound of footsteps behind her. When she turned around, Carth was fully dressed, his protective jacket included, only the semi-untidy state of his hair to indicate that he had been asleep moments before. "So you thought you could just sneak off without saying goodbye, did you?" the Republic soldier demanded as he narrowed his eyes at her; he was trying to be serious but Revan couldn't sense any anger rolling off him, only apprehension. "Carth..." she tried to begin, but he cut her off. "Rev, I know this is hard for you. But these...these nightmares they're a part of your past now and you can't keep letting them control who you are." Now it was her turn to be angry. He meant well but he would never understand, he couldn't understand. He wasn't a Jedi, he didn't feel the Force like she did. He would never see the things she saw. "You don't understand! You didn't see what [b]I[/b] did, you didn't see-!" before she could protest he had crossed the distance between them and he was holding her so tight that Revan was afraid he would crush the breath out of her before he would ever let her go again. "I almost lost you once, gorgeous. I can't lose you again." Her heart twisted as her mind travelled back to that moment on Lehon, she had almost slipped back to the Dark Side on that temple when she had tried to confront Bastila; only thoughts of Carth, when he had told her he loved her despite the awful things Darth Revan had done and promising her a future with him as long as she wanted it, had kept her from becoming that person again. "This is different, Carth." the Jedi whispered, craning her head up to look him in the eye. "You know I can't stay." The soldier's eyes shut and she felt his chest shift as he heaved a heavy sigh. "Then take me with you." he pleaded. Revan shook her head, reaching up to brush her fingers over his jaw. "I can't...I need you to stay here. With the Republic, help them stay strong. They can't fight what's coming, not alone, not as they are. I can stop this. I [b]have [/b]to stop this. If I don't, then there won't [b]be [/b]a future, there won't be an [b]us[/b]." her arm dropped down to rest at his elbow as his hold on her began to loosen. Through their bond, she felt the turmoil of his emotions as he tried to rationalise the events, tried to make himself understand that he had to do as she asked because it was the right thing to do. Carth forced a smile, his throat quivering as he swallowed heavily and forced the words out. "I love you, Rev." as if it would be the last time he would ever get to say it. When she had been warned of hard decisions she would have to make in the future all those months ago when the Council had re-trained her as a Jedi, Revan never would have imagined that any of this would have happened. That she would have been the former Dark Lord of the Sith, that this whole war and everything that had happened had been all her fault, or that she would have grown to love the man that stood before her with all her heart. But she had, and this was the last obstacle that prevented them having the future together that they both so desperately craved. Reaching down to her belt, Revan unclipped one of the lightsabers that hung there and pressed it into his now empty hands, managing to smile back. "I'll be back for it, someday." it wasn't a promise the Jedi was certain she could keep, she didn't know exactly what would be waiting for her beyond the Outer Rim, but as long as there was strength left in her she would keep that promise. That was five years ago, and he hadn't seen her since.[/i][/center] [/hider]
