Holiday Art Giveaway
Hey everyone. The holidays are coming up, and for the past few years, I've always tried to participate in at least one Secret Santa art exchange type of thing either here on deviantArt or elsewhere because A) it's super duper fun and B) I love drawing other people's characters. This year, I want to do something a little different to give other creators a chance to win some cool art of their characters and (hopefully) help me grow my audience a little more as an indie author. So I'll be holding an art giveaway! You can enter from now until November 5th, and I'll be choosing winners 2 different ways. (We'll get to that in a second.) Art will be completed and delivered to the winners on December 25th. I'm not entirely sure yet what kind of art I'll be doing for these prizes (fullbody, portrait, with or without backgrounds, etc.)--a lot of that will probably just depend on the characters. I do want them to

Nova | Eight Facts
8 min read
Hello, friends!
It sure has been a while since I've submitted a journal! Heh.
I hope you are all doing well! Here are some cute things for your enjoyment:
On to business!I was tagged by KalmaStari to write eight facts about my Jedi Exile, Nova.
I wrote waaaaayyy more than I intended to. I hope you enjoy learning more about her! I sure did.:bademoticon: :bademoticon: :bademoticon:
She tries to convince herself that Sion has no hold, nor power, over her, but she knows she can't escape him. He is like a deep hum at the back of her head that never fades; a dull throbbing, pulsing out of time with her heartbeat. Discordant. His presence pulls at her through the Force; it feels dark, enveloping her, possessing an unusual warmth. His whispers haunt her nights, and apparitions taint her days. She cannot deny his call.
Her feet are small. For some reason, the size of her feet is a source of amusement for her companions. They like to joke about how she shouldn't be able to balance, or even stand up, or that there are children with larger feet than hers. Once, when she'd asked to learn Echani sparring techniques, she caught Brianna hiding a smile when she removed her shoes. In this case, her only response was a silent glare, though Atton (who was far less subtle) wasn't so fortunate.

In this case, her only response was a silent glare, though Atton (who was far less subtle) wasn't so fortunate.
The skin on her back is puckered and dark from an old scar she earned during the Mandalorian Wars. The scar tissue has healed, but remains rough, and often pains her in moments of high stress, or when she is plagued by Force visions. After Malachor V burned, she confronted Revan and told him that she would return to the Jedi Council, to face her punishment. She turned her back on him, and that was her mistake. In a rage, he slashed at her with his lightsaber, searing flesh and bone. Her scream brought him to his knees, and her saber tore a path across his chest, giving him a scar to match.
Though she could once find peace in meditation, after the Mandalorian Wars she finds it impossible to quiet her mind. She tries, in vain, to enter a meditative state, but always ends up frustrated and tense. Kreia tells her that her fear of the Force is holding her back, blocking her access to techniques she once knew so well. She warns of an inner battle that, if lost, will crack her fragile connection to the Force, with little chance of a second recovery.
She understands the language of computers, and, as such, her skill in slicing is exceptional. Her affinity with machinery and, subsequently, droids, stems from this knowledge. She assists Bao-Dur with the Ebon Hawk's upkeep and routine maintenance. The two of them can talk for hours about the intricacies of the hyperdrive, or the behavioural quirks that occur in droids without regular memory wipes. If they are caught discussing the latter, a certain utility droid is likely to scold them at the mere mention of a memory wipe.
Sometimes, when she is alone with her thoughts, she hears the death-sounds of Malachor V. The air around her pulses with screams, so close that she can feel them, burning her skin. Then the cries are silenced, ended as abruptly as they began. In these moments, she questions herself, and her decision to fight alongside Revan in the Wars. Was it the right choice? Could she have saved those people? No matter how hard she tries, she cannot find an answer. She feels trapped by the past, and all its ghosts.
Her favourite thing to eat is Corellian fried ice-cream. She is drawn to sweet food, and loves to bake when she has some downtime. Her homemade butter pastries are a true delicacy, and never seem to last longer than a couple of hours after baking. Atton has been known to take more than his fair share on more than one occasion, so Nova treated him to a "specially" made pastry (read: heavily spiced) that educated him on the value of sharing.
She was born on Corellia, in the dingy, dust-filled streets of the Blue Sector. Her mother was a tattoo artist, and part-time waitress in a rundown cantina called The Saucy Smuggler. She spent most of her time in dim, smoke-filled rooms, or navigating Coronet's maze-like streets, running errands. Though she wasn't rich, she was content, and enjoyed the busy nature of life in the Blue Sector.
Offworlders were a common sight where she lived, and they told stories of the vastness of space, the terror of wars among the stars, the colours and smells of planets she'd never heard of. They kindled a spark within her, a longing to travel the stars and see the galaxy for herself.
When she was taken to train with the Jedi on Dantooine, she could hardly believe it was real. She came to love the rolling plains and peaceful hills of Dantooine, though her heart ached for the home she had left behind.
Nar Shaddaa, with its gaudy neon strips, smoky streets and bustling marketplaces, reminds her of home.

My-Life²:
I finished reading Ronan by the wonderful Fischmeister4, and it was an absolute blast from beginning to end! I highly recommend the Ziva Payvan series! If you're into space, assassins & epic interwoven storylines, please check it out!! I also read Assassin's Creed: Forsaken, which details the life of Haytham Kenway from early childhood to his eventual death. It was quite interesting to gain an insight into what motivates him & how he came to be as he was in the game. Just started with The Martian and I am loving it so far!! ♥ It has such a great voice, and the protagonist, Mark Watney, is hilarious! Will have to watch the film someday. What do I even do other than work, read, and watch stuff? Not much, really. I like cats. 
Peace out!
