Description From Disciple’s Ebon Hawk Journal

I was examining the comm system today as I will need to report in to my superiors in the Republic and I’ll need to be familiar with the console. While I was investigating the equipment, I found an oddly shaped datapad wedged into an opening between two consoles. It was easy enough to miss as it was almost on the floor in a shadow. The datapad was not encrypted and I was amazed to find another portrait! It appears to be by the same artist as before judging by the style of the line work; which reminds me I never did discover the artist’s identity. This one is of a young Twi’lek girl holding a gizka, an unusual choice of subject matter. As I have not seen any gizka in our travels, it must have been done before I came aboard.

The rest of the short snippet that goes with this pic is here . Thanks to *vinree for help with gizka reference. For those that are curious about the original, it is Lady with an Ermine by Leonardo da Vinci. Mish's arm got cropped in the scanning process, maybe someday I'll dig out the original and have it rescanned.

The first time I saw this I immediately thought of the one by Da Vinci. Nice one!

That is really beautiful work. I love your series of "altered" master copies.

MISSION: "Aw, can I keep it?"
CARTH: *groan* "No, Mission. I've had enough of it with those little pests."
MISSION: "But he's soooo cute! Look at him!" *holds gizka in Carth's face*
CARTH: "It looks like just another gizka to-" *gizka flips out tongue and pops Carth right between the eyes*
MISSION: "See? He likes you!"

Between Mission and the gizka and Revan and the gizka, Carth doesn't stand a chance!

It wasn't just that the original was a painting of a young girl, but the head looked like lekku could easily be adapted. I really got into this one, and it didn't take as long as I thought it would.
