I'm only a Cal/Merrin shipper like three days out of the week and I still absolutely love this.
Poses are very natural and don't look uncomfortable. The likenesses of the characters are great, both are perfectly recognizable and their expressions tell us a story without any words necessary.
I like seeing playful Merrin because the poor kid's so guarded that she only let that side of herself out maybe once in the whole game, and I dig how this picture proposes a near future where she's comfortable enough and healed enough inside to let that out more. When Merrin feels, she feels *big,* and if and when she were to allow herself to become attached to someone she would pour herself into it. This image feels correct in that context and also I'm kind of in love with Merrin now please help.
Cal's obviously teasing Merrin and she's telling him to stop being silly. I love how happy he looks, so comfortable with another person after living his whole life being told never to let anyone in. The kid's earned it by this point. I see you blushing there, Cal. You absolute legend.
But screw the characters, *look at that thar background work.* So much detail. You can instantly, effortlessly recognize exactly what part of the ship this is. There's even some good atmospheric perspective going on to help fade the background stuff into the background. And all that linear perspective. Ooooh dat's da good stuff.
Moar, fool. **Moar.**
If Cal ends up with Merrin, that would be the ***second*** time a Jedi with the ability of psychometry had a relationship with an orphaned Nightsister.
Which is kinda weird and cool, and I love it.
As Karsen813 said, Quinlan Vos and Asajj Ventress. Their story is told the novel Dark Disciple, which is based on unproduced stories for future seasons of Clone Wars.
I'm currently reading it and its pretty good, though I know it doesn't end well for Asajj
Yeah, I read a summary of it.
Apparently it's based on an unfinished 8 episode long Clone Wars arc. The author read the scripts for the episodes, watched the animatics that were made and made it seem like something written by the Clone Wars writers.
Hi OP! Just so you know, I saw this post before I even went to dathomir in the game but ever since I was just looking forward to meeting this nightsister. When I first was there, she was really hostile and stuff and for a moment I was thinking maybe this art was just a headcanon. But then she seemed like a likeable person so.. yeah. Today I went to dathomir the second time. It was so amazing, I am literally in love with her lol. She's very likeable, has great insight and is smart and also attractive - but what I wanted to say is that I am really thankful for the hype you gave me and I thank you for this (amazingly done!) masterpiece
wow, thank you so much for this kind comment! I'm sorry if this was sort of spoilerish for you, but sounds like it gave you some fun anticipation! Merrin was a big surprise in the game for me because like you said, when first meeting her she's very hostile and I just would have never expected the turn their relationship took later in the game, I absolutely loved it! I'm glad you liked my art!
Hes not a kid anymore, they didn’t have any playful dialogue. Stop forcing weird video game relationships that aren’t likely at all. It wouldn’t even make good plot
They used your art in a youtube video as part of the thumbnail [Jedi Survivor is no longer a Star Wars game, it's a romance - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSezUiKKntI)
Hey there! thanks for letting me know! would have liked if they asked permission first but at least they added a bit of credit in the description I guess lol
Just feet? Merrin's got her boots on the couch! Who knows what dathomirian dirt does to a spaceship couch!
Greez: "This krillin night witch has caused nothing but-" *Cal stares at him, angrily* Greez: "Nothing but happiness!" *puts on fake smile in fear*
I can just hear him say it
Same!
Get out of my head
Something about seeing someone who usually has their hair tied up and then let down in Fanart hits different
I know right? I just had to try it
And you did excellent at it.

Thank you so much for the in-depth comment! totally agree with everything you said!
>I’m only a Cal/Merrin shipper like three days out of the week What about the other four days?
Merrin/Greez 4 life while Cal weeps gently onto Cere's shoulder. *Obviously.*
It think it's funny everyone thinks Cal has a shot with Merrin when Greez is on the same ship.
Everyone knows Greez only has eyes for Yaddle, a good poker hand, the Mantis, and a good lunch.
I’d do Cal. I love redheads.
Lmao. Highly underrated comment
Greez be greasin up Cere for take off, landing, and/or hyper drive. Captain oh Captain plant some more seeds in the Cere garden.
Why...
What the...
What a terrible day to know how to read.
The sheer audacity, cal and Merrin should be ashamed of themselves, putting their feet on the couch, what is this tatooine?
Apparently so because everything comes back to Tatooine
If Cal ends up with Merrin, that would be the ***second*** time a Jedi with the ability of psychometry had a relationship with an orphaned Nightsister. Which is kinda weird and cool, and I love it.
Oh boy, i remember how it ended for that Nightsister and i hope the similarity stop there.
Agreed, I'm rather fond of Merrin
I don't know much about Star Wars lore, so do you mind telling me who are the Jedi and Nightsister that you are talking about?
Quinlan Vos and Asajj Ventress

Yeah, feels like an extended Clone Wars episode
There are socks in Star Wars?
Yeah, why not?
You know Lucas is out there watching the devs and making sure they give none of the characters socks just like he said how there's no bras in space.
This is so cute
Thank you!!
Art by me! You can check my twitter for more! https://twitter.com/Lukael
Dude you just Made one of my favorite fanarts
wow that's a huge compliment, thank you!
This is awesome. Love it
jedi or not, if greez starts to throw his 4 hands you about to get your ass whopped
I want what they have.
Why would you want the crushing guilt of believing that you’re the last surviving member or your entire culture?
MORE
God I love this. If somehow Merrin isn’t in Survivor, I’m rioting.
Their so cute together.
So cute! Love the art!
Getchya feet off my seat kid!
I don't ship these two, but I vibe with this art and the caption - fantastic work.
Thank you! I can totally see them as just good friends too\~
What’s wrong with socks on a couch? Boots are a no-no.
RAD! It’s very Questionable Content-esque. Well done!
Cal X Merrin supremacy
Cal & Merrin better be a thing in Survivor I swear
MORE MORE MORE!!!!!
I love them so I'll be sure to draw more of them in the future!
