My Bio

Hey there! I write Star Wars fanfiction for people who hate fanfiction and I design Star Wars fanart for people who hate fanart. Translation: my projects feature no pairings, no lewdness and—most importantly—no bullshit. What my projects do feature, however, is love for the history and inner workings of the Galaxy Far, Far Away.


Since I am writing for a German-speaking audience, my supplementary designs are aimed at the same audience. Every project comes with a mandatory English description, though, so feel free to look past that pesky language barrier. A few projects—in particular those including a lot of text—are also available as separate English versions.

Alright, nothing in particular has changed. Disney can still kiss my ass for marketing their creative bankruptcy as the supposed "final word in the Skywalker Saga". The Mandalorian did little to change that, although I admit it made baby steps in the right direction. There is a labour of love hiding beneath its simplicity. The animated shows? You can dial back to 2008 and ask me the same question, the resulting shrug wouldn't change.


What *has* changed, however, is my general stance towards the Star Wars franchise. It has alienated me more than once, all my investment has come back to bite me several times over almost two decades now, but somewhere, somehow there's still love for that grand promise of war and peace between the stars. I have learned a valuable lesson. The new canon continuity is a hodgepodge of bad story decisions mixed together in a cauldron of desperate vagueness. Nothing is made concrete, every piece of lore is an implication or indication towards absolutely nothing. It doesn't matter. Smoke and mirrors. I should've never bought into the haughty promise of a unified continuity.


You could say a lot of these things about the old legends continuity as well. Lots of bullshit, lots of bad story decisions, only some outstanding. But you know what it did right? Allowing bright heads to mend together the pieces, resulting in amazing works such as the Essential Atlas or the Essential Guide to Warfare. It made sense, cast light into times previously unexplored, detailed the advancement of technology, politics and culture. It's attention to detail was baffling. It certainly wasn't Tolkien-esque. But it was aspiring to be. And I cannot stop myself from respecting that.


Nothing of this sort will ever happen with Disney again. Because they need their lore to be as vague and empty as possible. Because how else would they be able to let someone write a potential blockbuster script where every previously established detail could get in the way? I'd love to be wrong here. I want the Mandalorian to mark the beginning of a paradigm shift where lore and details actually start to matter. But so far I remain unconvinced.


Either way, I've finally put my investment where it belongs: into my own works.


I am done with Star Wars.


But I am not done with Star Wars Legends.

Part of me never thought this day would come. Another part may have already been grasping at straws for the longest time. Time for a change. I've decided to delete every single piece of my Star Wars-related work, may it be fanart, fanfiction or anything in between - not just here, but everywhere on the web I have access to, with the only exception being my old wallpapers a lot of people seem to be attached to.

I'm done with this franchise. It has been nothing but a source of frustration and utter disbelief for the last few years. And the teaser trailer to TROS has made that crystal clear to me.


Sorry guys.

Damn, this is disappointing to hear.:( (Sad)  I ran across your winged star poster on Pinterest and wanted to see if you had any more amazing art. I'm saddened that you went to this extreme, I really would have liked to see what else you had made.

Hey there,


I know I'm a little late to reply a heartful of thanks for your kind comment, but here we go anyway: thank you! :-)I can't promise much at this point in regards of all my stuff eventually returning, but I am in the process of polishing up some things that have been sitting on the stove for quite a while now. Because, if I'm completely honest, I couldn't stop. I just cannot help myself. Jumping into Illustrator or Photoshop and doing something, anything related to Star Wars has been such a constant in my life, without it I might as well start looking for a coffin.


So, yeah. I might not be done with Star Wars after all. Even though I wish Disney was ...

I am so glad to hear that!

Hi! Do you mind if I use your Corellian symbols/banners on this site for a Corellian Faction?: starwarsrp.net/ It is a thriving Star Wars roleplaying community and I happen to run a Corellian Faction and ALSO thought that Black and Orange would look good on a Corellian ;) You would of course be linked and credited! 
Hey! Since I've greenlit a lot of similar requests in the past it'd be unfair to deny this one. :-) Take the symbols, flags and colours! As long as it's used within a Star Wars themed community in a non-profit fashion and there is some credit somewhere, I don't mind at all.
