Description
For my sunken OTP, Laranth Tarak and Jax Pavan from Star Wars: Coruscant Nights.
This was supposed to be for Valentine's Day, but thanks to the National Exams tryout week and various school projects, I couldn't finish this in time.
I couldn't find any Jax/Laranth fanart anywhere , so I decided to make one. This couple needs more love!
For any fellow shippers of this couple out there, I hope you enjoy this piece!
Disclaimer: I do not own these characters.

(P.S.: Jax's hair is a mix of the one in The Last Jedi's cover - despite how much I despise that novel - and my own imagination)

They are a great couple. Now that Disney has made these books Legends, I wonder if we will ever find out what happens to Jax and friends.
Nice drawing!

I agree, though unfortunately wasted potential.
Well, we all know Laranth is dead, even if I ignore it and in my headcanon she's alive somewhere without Jax knowing (maybe undercover as an Inquisitor or whatnot).
I do hope if we do find out, they'd keep her alive.
Thank you!

This couple does need more love, and this is really nicely done - the shading is really effective, and gives the impression of soft lighting despite the lack of color. It's cool that you included her scars, and he's got a youthful, serene look. Good job!

There wasn't a single fanart of this couple on the net. I really had to.
Thanks for the detailed comment! I really appreciate it.

You're welcome! I would totally draw Laranth more if I was better at art. What did you think of her role in The Last Jedi?

I think your art's just fine. Everyone has their own style.
The world needs more of these two. I've only found one fanfic of them, and this one is probably the only fanart of them around.
I did not like it. At all. It ruined my overall enjoyment of the book. I'm still annoyed until today. If Jax got killed in the end, I would've been perfectly fine, but it seems they're introducing Sacha and Magash just to 'replace' Laranth (my shipper feels are clouding my mind).
I did not enjoy Shadow Games either. It just feels ironic that when Reaves partnered up with a female co-author, his female characters somehow degraded instead (and even fridged one, no less!). I used to be a fan of his works...

I knooow. 
Shadow Games.
It's a real pity that Reaves' latest books have been so lackluster, because I really loved MedStar and how it dealt with Barriss, as well as the earlier Jax Pavan books, although they were decreasing in quality even from the time the second one came out.
Maya Kaathryn Bohnhoff has written before about how she wants to write strong female characters, so I'm absolutely baffled at what she's done with Laranth in The Last Jedi. :/

Well, that's what fanon and fanfics are for. I only accept the first few pages as canon in my head. As for the rest, I wouldn't mind if Disney steamrolls them out of canon. Sadly, I think Maya hinted about that in her interview. She said she created more female characters so they would have chemistry with Jax if she were to write more books about him .
I must admit Shadow Games had its fun parts, but I did not like how it handled the female characters. I have no issue with non-fighter ladies (been reading/watching ASOIAF/Game of Thrones), but Javul was a little too dependent on Dash Rendar.
Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter is still my personal favorite. It annoys me somewhat that his last two books that I hated were more popular (or so it seems) than the previous ones that I loved (except Shadow Hunter - it was popular). After The Last Jedi, I immediately fled to the comic books. At least it has Knight Errant and Legacy II...
Oh yeah, I've read her blog, too. I can no longer take that particular post about 'Strong Female Characters' seriously now.

Oh man, I forgot all about Shadow Hunter. That was a good book. I really liked Darsha, and I'm a big Darth Maul fan.
Legacy II! I'm not caught up but I really like that series.
"I can no longer take that particular post about 'Strong Female Characters' seriously now." Yeah, it confuses me so much how she could have had such good intentions and then done, like, the opposite. -_-
