✨ UPDATED COMMISSION INFO! ✨
I am currently open for commissions!
I do character portraits, multi-character scenes, and model sheets. Specifically experienced with Star Wars and Dungeons and Dragons content, but always happy to take on a challenge.
Feel free to reach out to me to discuss bringing your characters to life! I can be reached via email at reneeofthestars@gmail.com , or by direct message on Tumblr, Instagram, or Facebook.
Shares and saves appreciated! Thank you for your support!
Jedi Masters Plo Koon, Ki-Adi Mundi, and Kit Fisto
Commissioned by @auditect!
It's finally finished! My free time has been rather limited the past few months, so this took longer than it should have. But I'm super pleased with how it turned out!
Auditect wanted some 2003 TCW influence in this, and sent a bunch of helpful references. These Jedi are 3 of the characters he voices most often in his comic dubs, which you can find on YouTube here!
Shares and likes are appreciated 💛
In the Old American West, Dooku of Serenno Railways - and part of the Separatist Posse - meets with Baron Carnagae to discuss a business opportunity for the oil town of Abafar.
Written for @wildwestzine , "For A Fistful of Credits" a Wild West AU Star Wars Zine! I'm so honored to have had the opportunity to work on this project; it's such a neat concept, and everyone's pieces turned out so well!

Dooku’s lip curled as he stepped from the luxurious stagecoach onto the hard, dusty ground. Donning his top hat, the white-haired gentleman took the pocket watch from his vest and checked the time, then gestured for the driver to remain with the horses; this wouldn’t take long. Repocketing it, Dooku turned his attention to the two figures hopping off the rear of the stagecoach. Looming and deadly, the silent guards of the Magna Corps hid cattle prods and pistols at their sides under elongated ponchos, and wide-brimmed hats cast long shadows over their bandanaed faces.
The guards flanked Dooku as he strode up to the parlor. He paused at the door to adjust the red silk cravat at his neck and straighten his jacket; first impressions were important.
REMEMBER THE FALLEN
After a harrowing battle, Captain Mark and the other clone leaders of Chimera Company celebrate and mourn their fallen brothers.

Mark stood on the landing platform for several minutes after the Jedi speeder disappeared into the distant Coruscanti traffic.
The airspace around the clone trooper barracks was quiet. With civilian traffic restricted and the next closest clone regiment a good distance away, the noise and light pollution was severely diluted, leaving Mark feeling strangely isolated.
His arms hung heavy at his sides, as they’d been when Commander Tiatkin had hugged him tightly. He hadn’t embraced her back; not because he didn’t want to, but because he couldn’t find the energy to raise his arms. It felt nice, though.
The Jedi had cried. Two years ago, Mark would have been appalled at the very idea of the all-powerful Jedi showing such emotion. But he understood now that Jedi were only mortal, and General Teyla Marin and Commander Gida Tiatkin were held very dearly by the clones of Chimera Company. It meant more to Mark than he could say that the two women had spent the entire day in the barracks, mourning with the troopers.
Their last battle had devolved into a nightmare.
Another batch of cards for my not-tarot fortune-telling deck! Also features the redesign of the border! Our 4-year campaign just ended last night, so my College of Spirits Bard is going to make her first appearance in 2 weeks! I've gotta get on making more of these cards!
To celebrate 300 followers, I thought it was time that I make a Meet the Artist post!
Did I get carried away with the 'likes' list? Yes, but I like a lot of things, so it's okay. Also had to seriously narrow down music, since I like pretty much everything I hear lol - honorable mentions include Poor Man's Poison, Taylor Swift, Gaelic Storm, and lots of musicals.
We are thrilled to introduce our mod team for Starlight!!

Renee - @reneeofthestars - Head Mod, Social Media Mod Cass - @darth-ban - Head Mod, Discord Mod Suits - @suits-and-tooka - Head Mod, Organization Mod Noir - @noirfos - Merch, Finance, and Shipping Mod Yala - @yalaki - Art Mod Bitti - @bitwhizzle Writing Mod Piper - @perkypipes - Graphics Mod Sophia - smr.arts - Layout Mod

Some more not-tarot cards for an upcoming D&D character of mine!
I was originally going to play a Divination Wizard, but the portends don't work the way i want them to, so I'm leaning towards College of Spirits Bard instead!
Still have several of these cards I want to finalize, and then i need to go through and fix the text on the cards so they are more uniform
First completed art of 2024 ✨️
My DTIYS entry featuring @narisha_art OC, Liu!
This was a lot of fun! I particularly enjoyed the designs on the dress
Last artwork of 2023!
My entry for Regardnoir_ 's DTIYS challenge! I had so much fun with the colors on this!
I think I'll be trying out some more portraits like this in 2024 so I can work on colors, shading, and lighting!
Year in Review, 2023 ✨
Summary of art, art vs artist
I'm really pleased with the progress I've made on my art this year. I'm definitely getting more comfortable with it, and experimenting with my style a bit more.
Here's to 2024! ✨️

Shmi Skywalker strives to make life better for her young son, all while doing her best to keep him safe.

Even encrusted in sand, the memory core was intact. Shmi Skywalker breathed a small sigh of relief as she pulled her dark hair into a knot at the back of her head. She adjusted the repulsors on the aeromagnifier and inspected the piece for any fissures. Even though the casing was hearty, a few grains of sand could scratch or rupture the fragile data crystal inside.
Art Trade with @martes_martes_draws on Instagram !!!
I think this is actually my first art trade! I always enjoy drawing other people's awesome ocs - it's so cool seeing how everyone designs characters.
I drew Marta's oc girlfriends, Salla and Emi 💜 In exchange, she drew my Master-and-Padawan duo Teyla and Gida!

We were just informed by the DM that one of our D&D campaigns has been accelerated to the endgame. Turns out, it's difficult to properly balance encounters for 7 level-12 players with homebrewed abilities, so now he's throwing everything at us.
So, we are currently on a timetable to handle 3-4 apocalyptic events, and neither DM nor player knows if we'll succeed.
I've got an art trade and a few Star Wars drawings that I want to do, but then I'll probably shift gears for a bit and do some D&D drawings. I'm in 4 campaigns, and really want to commemorate more of them with art!

What's better than one negotiator? Two of them!
Diplomat Zaatha Naar of Kiros has accompanied Sairii Na on her mission to negotiate with a potential Resistance sponsor. She'll be keeping an eye out for anything suspicious, as well as seeing if she can strike some deals with other potential allies.
My entry for uytre_art_x #DTIYS challenge! Congrats on 2k!!! * The only OC I have in the New Republic (sequel trilogy) era is my D&D character, Zaatha Naar. There was a 2-month in-game period where our party all split up and Zaatha worked directly with the Resistance. She would definitely have agreed to be a second set of eyes during Sairii's mission; it makes a nice change from planet-hopping and outrunning the First Order.

My submission for Libpaint's DTIYS challenge on Instagram!
I had so much fun with this. After I finished the main piece, I played around with some layers and got some fun results, a few of which I've shared here!
