This has been such an on-and-off drawing that I can't remember how I first thought of it. Sometimes I just get urges to draw cute stuff and let's leave it at that. It's also been a cool experiment with using colour on sketches.

These little broken families make me simultaneously gush and cry inside. The softer side of Star Wars never gets enough love.

Pose reference used: [link] by ~DandyStock
EDIT: I just remembered, I also used pose reference for Anakin and Shmi out of 'Treasure Planet''s beginning storytelling scene, it's iconic to me for a 'mother-son' bonding moment. Really sweet and underrated SF animated movie, check it out!

Palpatine needs a lot of lessons in raising a child. Even Grevious isn't as bad.

Ha, yes, you're totally right! :lol: Palpatine really shouldn't be allowed to raise a child without taking serious lessons.
I like to imagine Grievous as not being a bad father, too, because before he became a cyborg, I think he was quite respected in his tribe.

Aww...

I freaking strongly dislike Palpatine. (I try not to hate... even fictional characters...)

Thank you! :hug:

Palpatine's one of my fave SW villains, however he is utterly unworthy to be a parent figure. :nod: I agree, hating characters is pointless as they don't exist; disliking something they represent is understandable though.

So cute! And funny. I just finished reading "The Wrath of Darth Maul" by Ryder Windham and your Sidious and Maul is perfect! :D

Thanks so much! :hug: So far I've only read the beginning of 'The Wrath of Darth Maul', I'm glad you think I captured their relationship well! Palpatine sure needs to work on his parenting...

You're welcome. :)

But he loves "his child" and that is important. :aww: In the novel "Darth Plagueis" even Plagueis himself mentions, that Sidious has parental feelings towards Maul. So cute.
