Description I needed to redo his eyes and some fur and hair and stuff...(The original pic, his eyes completely bugged the frap out of me. As did how his hair looked and soft furry tail..and a bunch of stuff) so I'm reuploading it because it's got a lot of fixes in it

Finally, I feel the need to give a little of Taliesen's back story. And since he's on the road to being a Jedi, now's a good time. (I could start an academy of my own with all my jedi in my head)

This particular little padawan exists in the Star Wars world mistaken quite often to be a very weird looking Bothan, even though he's a Jackal. He deals.

Tal's story is pretty much this, a bit of a Luke Skywalker boy in the backwater outer rim planets of the galaxy, sheltered fairly strongly from the Galactic Civil War and raised in an orphanage with no knowledge of whom his parents are. (He still doesn't know-it's not relavent so no! he's not the son of some big Sith-lord)

At one point, he leaves his school and his orphanage, to set out to find some peace elsewhere in the galaxy. By hopping on an Imperial shuttle bound for Naboo, he is dropped haphazardly at the Rori starport when his ship is crippled and in need of repairs.

Here is where his journey into the Rebellion begins. He of course comes to discover after a few odd happenings that he is also force sensitive and spends most of his time hiding this fact from everyone save his trusted friends.

After a number of quests and trials and tribulations, he locates a master (another hiding Jedi from the purge) and is set, in secret, on the path of his own to becoming a Jedi.

He's not near as strong and he's not really all that adept with the light saber as any of the prime Jedi of the era, but his heart is in the code he has learned from his Gungan friends and from his Master so I think he'll do all right. Yes, I reallize he's an anthromorph and not canon Star Wars creatures, but let's face it, look at how furry friendly the Star Wars universe is, anyways. So I don't want to hear from all the purists how he can't be in that world. (I'm getting cranky about thnitpicky Star Wars fanboys lately, pardon me-I love my Star Wars but I fear some of it's fans! )

Actually, I've been doing my own research and the closest jackal like race are the Yapi. In my Star Wars fanfic, Edward has a lightscythe instead of the standard saber, and wanders from planet to planet in search of the most gifted species musically, helping everyone he can along the way and taking on an Amaran partner.

This picture is pretty cool. But forgive me when I say that the Jedi Order will fall and the Sith will rule over the Galaxy again.

*grins* But actually, if you think about it, Star Wars already has furriness Wookies, Ephant Mon, Bothans, Taliesen is just another 'species' to the humans. ^.^

Oh wow... He looks petable. And the clothes look...real. As does the light sabre.

The whole picture is soft, and it flows. It flows very well. I love how the eyes stand out and bring the focus of the picture there, while not taking away from anything else. Very, very well done.

t3h niftiness

I wish I could get my lightsabers to look like that, even if the look I go for is more of the anime-flame-thingie look. The tail and hair looks all kinds of uber-fluffy soft, like a string of tufted cotton balls a guy just wants to huggle while other guys aren't looking.

LOVE the face. I liked the original, and the new one's just as spiffy.
