Saponaria's Star Wars Craziness!


FanFiction
Wow! I've actually written something! As with fanart below, they are arranged from new to old.

New Life (Whee, a Zam Wesell AU story! Heh, I always thought it a bummer that she got killed. I like blood and guts too, but not if it's the cool characters! This is the one that the plot bunnies have been biting me about. I'll just shut up now and write...)
A Day at the Spaceport (Well, maybe not spanning a whole day, and not limited to a spaceport, it's just a little thing that happens right after "A Boba Fett Romance". I know, I'm nutso.)
Why Boba Went Along on the Sail Barge (You know that Lyn Me has a crush on Boba? In here she lets loose of her emotions on the poor bounty hunter...)
A Boba Fett Romance (also posted on fanfiction.net, it's really strange. But I'm stranger.)
Path of Song (another Boba-related fic, it's also about Rystall, one of the backup singers for the Max Rebo Band. This is the illustrated version [LOTS of pictures], there is an unillustrated version on fanfiction.net)
Breakfast (Ohmygoodness... how old is this? Written when I was into the Young Jedi Knights series)



FanArt
I attempted to organise these starting from most recently finished to most horribly old. As you can see I'm rather... prolific in fan art. They range from pen to Adobe Photoshop (my craze for a couple years already).

Mara the Mom (Found a photo of me with my mom taken right after I was born. Looked a bit like Mara, so I did some minor changes, and here she is!)
Zam in Disguise (Spoiler for the Jango Fett Graphic Novel! This is Zam right before she kills Dreddon. See the blaster behind her back?)
Qwi Xux (I never liked the portrayals that official artists did, so this is my first vision of Qwi.)
Young Twi-lek (for a short story I planned but never began. That's real blood there, btw.)
Young Rodian (also for that short story.)
Lyn's plans (semi-illustration for "Why Boba Went Along on the Sail Barge". It was sketched on the paper I'd written the story on, so I scanned it and did a quick fixup.)
Nelira (what I was planning to make myself into for Halloween when I couldn't do Zam. On the night, however, I changed my name to Di'An, had a white NRI uniform, and red lekku.)
Christmas Greetings (Too much Christmas music again! Done on the same day as Taun We.)
Rystall (A little sketch done right after the pic below. Her legs are too long! AAA!)
For the Empire (My stormtrooper! Used only a metallic silver gel pen.)
Gel Pen Zam (Yay, actually a nice fan art of one of my fave chars!)
Taun We (The date is on the bottom of the pic. I'd just gotten a Taun We action figure and couldn't help myself when I discovered we have gel pens in the house!)
Another Queen (of Naboo. I was looking over a sketchbook w studies for faces I'd done that I really hate, and just drew this out real quick. Art classes suck! I can do much more and better on my own! Hm... I need a vacation.)
Interspecies Love (The Empire generally doesn't like aliens. So when the daughter of a Grand Admiral somehow falls in love with one, what will happen? What can I say? I like Romeo and Juliet type stories. Just a sketch.)
Yoda (I got bored again...)
The Future of Coruscant Pop (Hmmm, maybe I've been staying up too late with my figures again... another photoshop sketch.)
Shada D'ukal (I finally figured out somewhere that she has black hair. How dumb am I to think all this time she was blonde? Duh, guess cuz I'm a classic dumb blonde... Watercolor.)
Sy Snootles watercolor (Speaks for itself.)
Zam Escapes (Illustration from my story and my first Zam fanart! Just a sketch still...)
Jar Jar Sketch (I was bored and my Jar Jar figure was handy. Took me about 3 minutes to do.)
A Gift ("Why hello, Boba! I didn't think you'd be up this early! " "Hello Taun We." "Hang on a minute, Boba! I have something for you..." Um, yes... I was listening to Christmas music again...)
Rystall the Waitress (I have a Dexter Jettster action figure, no waiters, and Rystall needed a new job.)
Barbie Fett (Enter at your own risk! My brother and I were playing with photoshop at 11pm, listening to the AOTC soundtrack, I was drooling over pics of Boba again, and we were talking about making a pink Slave 1...)
Qui-Gon Jinn (my mom is a big fan of his, so I tried to draw him in pencil.)
Wierd Yoda (This is what happens when you don't have a reference pic)
Marina (mom as a Jedi! Her boots are meant to be brown tho.)
Di'An (design for my Twilek costume from 2002 halloween.)
Mara and Ben (A cute pic. Don't look if you don't like sappiness. Gelpen work)
Moya Design (my first idea of what Moya looks like)
H-gallian King (illustration to "Path of Song". I'm having fun!)
Sap's costumes (Uh-huh, 2 things I'd wear if I were in SW)
Sy Snootles (the singer up close!)
Path of Song book cover (Photomanipulation. But hey! One photo used is mine, and I did put it all together.)
Tahl (Qui-Gon Jinn's friend and sweetheart! And no, I didn't make her up. This is a combo of how my mom and I see her. Not too happy with the hair tho.)
New Apsolon (Qui-Gon and young Obi-Wan saving Tahl. An actual scene from a book! One of the Jedi Apprentice novels.)
Talon and Shada (watercolor - and yeah, I didn't know how Shada D'ukal should look so I went on intuition. Here's a black and white version that's a lot clearer)
Ghitsa and Fen 2 (A newer version! It's amazing how fast artistic ablilities can grow...)
Amidala dress design (Something I made for my Barbie dolls!)
Alderaanian Representatives (originally my mom and dad as sw characters. It doesn't really look like them, but I like the picture.)
Jabba's court (My fave very old colored pencil drawing! My brother drew Boba here, as he'd been studying the armor for quite awhile.)
Mara Jade (my favorite char)
Ghitsa and Fen (old designs for chars from "Tales of the New Republic")
Young Jedi Knights (Unfinished sketch of Tenel Ka, Jacen, and Jaina created in Painter Classic.)
Mara and Sap (Done a looong time ago when I was convinced that Mara and I were sisters. Created on Kid Pix.)
Luke and Callista's Wedding (based on my old 12-in Luke doll and Barbie Callie! UGLY.)
Droid Celebration (R2 and 3PO with flowers!)
Jedi Callista (complete with a yellow saber!)
Jaina and Lusa (again from the Young Jedi Knights days)
Jaina and Lusa again (from a scene from Vonda McIntire's book "The Crystal Star")
Messing with the CD player (the Solo twins get into some mischief!)
Prince Xizor's family (An idea on who they were!)
Lusa's mother (A Jedi centauress!)
Han (another ooooollllddd one.)
Leia (Leia, based off of a Barbie doll, like Jaina)
C-3PETA (C-3PETA is Threepio's new protocol droid friend)
Young Jaina (portrait based on my self-made Jaina barbie doll. Jaina was 6 here, I was about 12.)
Callie Portrait (Barbie as Callista!)



Custom Toys
I've always been frustrated by my lack of EU figures - mainly Mara Jade, but there have been others. And  I sorely wanted my own chars to be able to interact w the original chars outside fanfiction... so these are what I came up with. They're all recent, ever since mid-summer 2002 I've been working on them.

Tionne (The Jedi historian. body is an ep1 Padme, and the head is cast sculpey from a mold I made of Rystall's face.)
Kam Solusar (I wanted some Jedi that had survrved the Vong war that I was partially familiar with. This figure had a helmet I shaved off , and then I did a quick repaint.)
Cilghal (Body is from Rune Haako and the head and arms are sculpted from super sculpey.)
Admiral Pellaeon (I'm getting better. Made from this figure and super sculpey and repainted.)
Callista (loosely based on the new essential guide. Body is slave Leia, head is from a handmaiden Padme)
Saponaria (Me! A simple repaint of a Padme.)
My Brother (He hasn't chosen a name yet. Body: Garindan, head: repainted darth Maul with horns cut off.)
Marina (again my mom as a Jedi. Body: Ep2 Kenobi, head: slave Leia, hair and breasts: sculpey. I love this one.)
Depa Billaba (for mom. Made from a vintage cloud city leia and hand-sewn robe.)
Yaddle (also for mom. Body: Ep2 Yoda, repainted. Hair is cut from my Mara figure)
Tenel Ka (a slightly revamped shamefuly inarticulate Catwoman figure, with sculpey hair and armor.)
Shada D'ukal (slight size problem, but oh well. Body is from a char from Disneys Treasure Planet, head is a mini Barbie.)
Talon Karrde (My first! A repaint of an old Kevin Costner as Robin Hood figure. Too big, but otherwise I like it.)
Mara Jade (Head: mini barbie doll, body: repainted power ranger figure. Also has pieces from a Captain Tarpals. Based off the VOTF cover and a Shannon Baksa photo. I may redo her.)
Moya (Full name: Moya Tolen Fett. You do the math. A repaint of a Padme figure.)
Shazok (Prince Xizor's dad? Or just an old, ugly Falleen? An unknown figure repainted, part of bespin Lando's cape for a shirt, and Jedi Knight Luke's black cloak w/out the hood.)
Dash Rendar (I know there was a figure of Dash made already, but I can't afford it, and was also looking for an annoying character to torture, so I repainted this unknown guy (ok, after seeing Spiderman I know he was Doc Ock))
Corran Horn (body: Kit Fisto, head: ep2 Obi-wan.)
Jedi Master Luke (I was starting to think that plain black looked a bit dreary, so I painted some Jedi-ish garb on him, then sewed him a robe.)
Jaina (Pretty much just a repaint of Padme with a few little details cut or sanded off. Hey, it looks much better than my clothespin Jaina! Based on the pic in the New Essential Guide to Characters.)
Jacen (A vintage Luke Skywalker from 1980... I found it and needed a Jacen to go with my Jaina, so I repainted him and gave him a lightsaber.)
Tendra Rissant (or is it Calrissian? If you're unfamiliar with the Correllian Trilogy, this is Lando's new wife. I'm not sure about how she looks, so I went 'on instinct'. She's made from a Princess Leia Collection doll.)
Jeron Fett (Boba and Moya's son at age 15. I wanted him younger, but all I had was this spaced-out looking Luke from one of the Princess Leia collection sets, so I repainted him and he did alright...)

Join the Peace Brigade! (My lil bro and I were playing with how the Imps would advertise, and I took it a couple steps furthur.)


Links

Star Wars.com (Trust me, it's great. You can spend hours clicking the reload button and geting other characters. I'm mainly stuck with the green troll-Yoda- but it's very fun!)
The Force.net (great site - almost as good as the above!)
The Custom Alliance (I spend a lot of time there getting inspired to do more custom figures.)
Zam Wesell.com (Very good for Zam fans. Actually it's the first and only Zam fan site I've seen. Excellent costuming tips.)


Miscellaneous

Di'An Costume (Yay my 2002costume! Sorry it's such a bad photo. I made the lekku by sewing canvas and stuffing it with polyester stuffing, then painting it with acrylics. I used facepaints on my face and hands, my mom made the blaster holster when I was very little, and all the rest of it was found at a thrift shop.)
Zam Wesell Costume (I am such a dork! In a good way hopefully. Zam is one of my favorite characters, and after 2 years I finally decided to create a costume.)
Handmaid Costume (I almost forgot. I had some scrap material and wrapped it around me trying to duplicate those cool firey robes.)
