Does anyone remember seeing art of Finn and his old squad (Zeroes, Nines, Slip) that was a closeup of their faces side by side? Or did I dream it? I’ve been searching for it everywhere but so far, nothing.

There’s artwork by Phil Noto that features at least two of Finn’s squadmates from Before The Awakening, but, from a background perspective only.

I don’t believe there’s ever been more detailed official artwork of Slip (who doesn’t get a face reveal at all), Nines and Zeroes, which makes me wonder if it would be possible to commission that from Noto?

That is a really interesting idea! I’d love to see art like that, especially official art of Slip. I’ll have to check Mr. Noto’s commission terms.

@doorsclosingslowly Thank you for the tip! I found the art in my search and it’s really good (it even has a black-and-white version which I want for my meta), but I won’t be using it due to issues like Finn and especially Zeroes looking much older than Nines and Slip. Nothing against the art or the artist, it just falls into tropes that I don’t want to perpetuate.

Funny thing is, both @kyberfox and I recall seeing art that is kind of similar to the one doorsclosingslowly pointed out, four close-up head shots side by side, but larger and more realistic in style. It’s fully possible that she and I occupy our own alternate universe where this art exists, though, because I can’t find it anywhere.
