      Just a big family pile in their little blanket fort. <3 I like to think that Howzer feels right at home with people draped all over him and snuggled in close.

      how Eleni's lek is twined with Howzer's hand -- Hehe, I was like, hmmm, how do I make this sappier? XD Also, Eleni felt a little disconnected when I refensteined this whole thing together.

      Thank you so much!!! <3

    There they are in all their glory. 😍I love the little blanket fort they made. With the dark background, Hera’s and Eleni’s greens really pop. 💚 Gorgeous.

    And there are so many lovely details. Fist and foremost, I can’t stop staring at the curled lekku tips. Especially Cham’s intertwined ones and Eleni’s on Howzer’s thumb🥰 And the facts that the lekku tattoos on Cham and Eleni are painted differently than Hera’s. Her’s seem crisper with a shaper edge. I’m wondering if that has to do with the age?

    And I’m also really digging Cham’s right hand and how he’s resting his chin on it. Looking at that hand makes me reconsider this ‘studies’ thing. Mar, you’re making me want to draw hands. What have you done? 🤭🖐️

    And Howzer’s scars are so nice. Must zoom in more! *now stares at a gigantic mouth and chin* 🤭
    But look at that beard shadow. So niiiiiiice. It looks like a combination of two airbrushes with a different… umm… graininess (is that even a word? 😅)

    But let’s go back to Cham and his hands. *sigh* 🤭 while I’m in the vicinity… his arms 👌they look so good. I love how, in absence of body hair, you used the pigments of his skin to give them depth (or whatever it’s called that makes them look 3D).

    This is gorgeous. Well done. 💙💚

       There they are in all their glory. - *snicker* no, ' all their glory' is going to be later- when Hera goes to bed! ;D

       I love the little blanket fort they made. With the dark background, Hera’s and Eleni’s greens really pop. 💚 Gorgeous. -- They all needed somewhere warm and cozy to listen to Howzer read from the book they are all engrossed in. And yes, I just love the color green that the animators chose. So good!

       I can’t stop staring at the curled lekku tips. Especially Cham’s intertwined ones and Eleni’s on Howzer’s thumb🥰 -- Hehe, she is smitten and currently being smooshed by her daughter, so she needs to cuddle with him however she can. <3

       And the facts that the lekku tattoos on Cham and Eleni are painted differently than Hera’s. Her’s seem crisper with a shaper edge. I’m wondering if that has to do with the age? -- Hmmm, interesting thought! I honestly have no idea. I've read quite a few fics were people HC that only certain Twilek's will have natural patterns on their skins, but as far as tattoos go. They tend to stretch as we age and that involves both feathering and colors getting duller or bleached. LOl, and now that I've said that . . . it has absolutely zero bearing on what you just said (sorry, I am SO TIRED and my brain is fuzzy). *looks back at actual art aht I drew* Ah, okay yeah maybe it does actually make a little sense. Eleni's are much lighter. I HC that CHam's are 100% tattoo. Hera and Eleni . . . not sure yet!

       And I’m also really digging Cham’s right hand and how he’s resting his chin on it. -- Hehe, gotta get comfy when Howzer is getting to the 'best part' of the story. :)

       Looking at that hand makes me reconsider this ‘studies’ thing. Mar, you’re making me want to draw hands. What have you done? 🤭🖐️ -- *looks around innocently* Maybe you can make it an excuse to draw the hands holding things or doing things? *even more innocent face* XD

       But look at that beard shadow. So niiiiiiice. It looks like a combination of two airbrushes with a different… umm… graininess (is that even a word? 😅) -- I'm trying to remember what I actually did. *thinky face* It might partially be the texture I gave to his skin and partially to the airbrush that I was still using. Hmmm, I might start doing a combination of the grainy texture and the airbrush? And yes, 'graininess' is absolutely a word! I mean you can pretty much make anything into a real word if you try hard enough, right?

       I love how, in absence of body hair, you used the pigments of his skin to give them depth (or whatever it’s called that makes them look 3D).-- Ah, thank you! I had a lot of fun with the 'skin pattern' it's not a texture exactly, so I'll go with that.

       Thank you so much for all the kind words!!! *big digital hugs* <3

    THIS!!!! This is so sweet and cozy and exactly what I had in mind when I requested these guys! Everyone looks so comfy all cuddled up together and the little details just make it all the warmer. Eleni's lekku twining around Howzer's finger! Hera cuddled up on his back! Just... the best! The very best! I like to think Howzer could be reading the most boring of instruction manuals and yet they would all still be just as content, all snuggled up as a family. <3 Thank you so much!

       Eeeeeek, yay, I’m so happy! ^U^ I had a fun time making them as sweet and adorable as possible! <3

       And yes, I agree. Howzer could drone on and on and I’m sure they would all be captivated (lol, probably all of us too XD ). He’s great at motivational speeches so why not reading? XD

       Thank you so much for the kind words and I’m so happy you like it!!! <3 <3 <3

    The cosiness levels that radiate from this are unparalleled!! I love how you did the Syndullas' expressions, all different but all captivated by Howzer's reading 🥺 it's evident that he is so loved and cared for, as he deserves to be. Thank you for giving him this and sharing it with us <3
