I've spent a little time almost every day for the past month and a half tryna figure out a way to create THIS model:

Letting u guys know, I found this image from pinterest but it was super blurry so I used an AI image sharpener to clean it up. AI is great sometimesLetting u guys know, I found this image from pinterest but it was super blurry so I used an AI image sharpener to clean it up. AI is great sometimes

However, since the image is not the final product of the model, I had to make some adjustments to it because I didn't know what certain things were. My model is mostly complete and is pretty much animation ready. Its fully rigged, the lightsabers and its blade trails are done, all the drivers and settings are designed to be convenient for animation (ill showcase some in the video demo later). Here is my final product:

Ahsoka RigAhsoka Rig
Mini Demo of how that works. I mostly just use shape keys to move stuff such as Ahsoka's facial expressions, mouth positions for speech, retracting lightsaber blade etc

Really quickly about how I made the mode, Ahsoka's face and body that isn't covered by clothes or gloves aren't created by me. I reused the siege of mandalore model to do it and the shapes of her body and gloves were also reused. Other than that, the textures and boots were myself. Oh and the lightsabers were all me.

Now, lets do some story time about this model in canon. This was supposed to be used before Siege of Mandalore, if I had to guess it was going to be the model for the arc where the Jedi found the sith temple under their temple and then Ahsoka comes really close to facing Palps. Remember that one? I think that's the one. But since that arc never really got to the animatics stage, non of the designs were ever started. Only the plans. Because of this, I don't have all the information to recreate the model so instead what I did was I used the TOTJ model from The Inquisitor as inspiration for the parts I didn't know what to do. For example, her lekku band thing is not very clear so I just recreated the one we saw in TOTJ, the clothes textures are a bit hard to see and recreate so I just did my best to replicate the one from TOTJ. Other than Ahsoka's skin, all the other textures were done procedurally.

Since this model was basically during the time when Ahsoka didn't have lightsabers and I will be using this for post Order 66 fanfics and early rebellion stuff, I don't know what to do with the lightsabers. The model doesn't have pockets and Ahsoka would never hang her lightsabers on her belt because shes supposed to be hiding her jedi past. Much like Kanan, he doesn't use lighsabers unless necessary. So what can I do here? Maybe her thigh hanging pocket thing (although I think that is for binoculars or smth so idk, if I can't come up with anything then I'll probably just go with that.)

Anyways, what do you guys think? Any comments about anything ive said in this post? Any potential ideas for fanfics? Thanks for reading and MTFBWY!
