In the midst of the art trading I had going on with BladeGunSniper, she was thoughtful enough to request a piece featuring an original character belonging to LadyPep (who was cool enough to draw me gift art before, so I was thrilled to take up the offer). Merry Christmas, Pepper! I had a fabulous time tackling your Mandalorian OC, Heln Kadrin. I'm smitten by any >8( face he makes, so I continued the trend. 👌
Tremendous battle damage was on the horizon for Kadrin's armor, but upon vaguely remembering that Mando armor is the Adamantium of the Star Wars universe, I saved it at the last second and restrained the wear and tear to the paint. It's very possible that the beskad sword is made out of the same material, yet I went ahead and chipped it anyway. Might also be too short as well... I invite any and all shaming for my rusty SW knowledge.
This is admittedly an experimental piece (hey look - black-spotting). I don't tend to do that for gifts, but I hope it's an interesting outcome.
