Title: August Custom Action Figure Contest, Sith Style
Post by: Luke Sprywalker on July 31, 2011, 06:14:35 PM

Announcing the August action figure custom contest, create a Sith Lord or Apprentice.



(http://i1177.photobucket.com/albums/x354/SprywalkerRanch/ISY/ISYSithbanner.jpg)



The contest begins August 1 and end August 31 at 12PM EST. This has to be an all new custom made by you and not posted any where before. Feel free to use any 3 3/4 inch figure line you like. One entry per person and you do have to be a member here at the Yards. You may submit 5 photos in your post that must state "this is my entry". The photo's can not have any photo shop elements in them that alters your figure. Also feel free to make a small base or customize a small stand but don't allow it to grow into a diorama. If you want to show WIP pics as you go post them in this thread for motivation and discussing ideas. The Day that the contest ends there will be a voting thread created and members can vote for 1 week as to their favorite creation. In the event of a tie we will create a tie breaker voting thread. The prize this time is the great feeling we all get when we complete a custom. Also don't forget bragging rights and being held in higher regard among such esteemed colleagues. Have fun guys!



There have been many great Sith related customs here at the yards and the first thing that comest to my mind is some of the great work from Michael Martinez. Below is his vision of Darth Scaborous and serves as inspiration for us all through out this contest.

Cool I'm in I haven't made anything since the Wookielover Comp so this should get the creative juices flowing again me hopes. And I know it says 3-3/4" but are we allowed to make them in 1/6 scale?

MANDALORIAN SITH

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bGXNrXPIUL4/Tj89YVJDiyI/AAAAAAAACuY/_Xa-5LVfIRg/s400/IMGP3387.JPG)

Taken from the blog:

"When Luke Sprywalker announced the Custom Sith Competition over at Imperial Shipyards this month, Dad felt it was the perfect time to pay tribute to Mike Martinez of Mercury Art Studios.  Dad will be donating his MANDALORIAN SITH entry the Mercury Art Studios Auction and the proceeds will be given to the family of Mike Martinez. Mike always created the coolest and most unique Sith custom action figures. He is known in our house as the Sith master. Dad thought of Mike when he created this action figure and tried to create a Sith custom action figure that he never saw anyone make before. Dad created this action figure from the old (head) and the new Jodo Kast action figures (forearms), a Boba Fett torso, and a Lord Maleval (everything else). He removed the chest armor from the Boba Fett and dremmeled the torso until the chest and abdomen were only as thin as the armor. He then dremmeled the front chest and abdomen of the Lord Maleval action figure and then fused Boba Fett's chest armor to the Lord Maleval with Apoxie Sculpt. Then Dad painted the action figure in colors that he saw in a Mandalorian Sith drawing that some new friends showed him on The Forcebook.

If you are interested in owning this figure, look below for the link where you will be able to bid on this action figure on ebay. Dad is going to start the bidding high so Mike's family gets the assistance they need. Dad worked about ten hours on this action figure, so whoever wins it will definitely be getting their moneys worth. Not only will the buyer be getting one cool toy, but the money will be used for a good cause.

Best of luck everyone!!"

Lord Infectum
As deadly with a light saber as he is with a blaster, Lord Infectum is a gifted tracker who specializes in finding his prey is some of the worst planetary environments imaginable. Always willing to sacrifice his body to the task at hand, he boasts a success rate that shakes the confidence of even the most gifted Jedi. As skilled as he is vicious, there is no where a Jedi can hide beyond the reach of  Infectum.

Sadly, my SW collection pales in comparison to my joe collection, so I had to use what I had to enter this contest. Having no red light sabers also posed a challenge but I was able to scratch build these with some clear plastic tubing, clear red paint and some joe sword hilts. He's made completely of g.i. joe parts but I still think he has a pretty cool sith vibe to him.

THIS IS MY ENTRY!

Some stellar bad@ss Sith Lords guys! I had been mulling over a new custom for a couple weeks. I wanted to create a Trandoshan/Saurin Sith Lord. And lo and behold I saw this awesome contest (thanks Spry!) and I knew that this was the perfect place to unveil the new figure. However, I still had to build him.

Using Bossk's head and Hrchek Kal Fas's hands (Bossk's don't pop off his body without damaging it, and his arms are waaaay too long). Next I knew that as a Sith and a Saurian (a double dose of bad@assery) he'd need a unique weapon. I was putting some things away in the barn when i found a broken Sandtrooper Electropole and a skull from an old Dalsim Streetfighter figure. Finding these two items set my imagination going in overdrive.

Before the rise of the Galactic Empire, Chask Ral Hnurr came of age in a Saurin Slaver clan, preying on the waeker species of the galaxy and selling them to the highest bidder on the black market. An exceptional tracker and possessing incredible skill with seemingly any form of weapon, Chask, it was apparent, would be the next leader of his clan. When the Saurin slave ship he served on attacked and disabled a Wookie transport freighter his crew mates prepared to make some easy credits. The unsuspecting Saurins boarded, not a Wookie craft at all, but a Sith Lord's Marauder transport that was broadcasting forged Wookie transponder codes in order to avoid detection. or perhaps to lure Jedi craft into their maw. Never the less the Saurin slavers were dead before the Sith Lord's saber met them in the airlock. Having remained behind during the raid, Chask suspected foul play when his comrades' comms fell silent one by one. He suited up, and proceeded cautiously through the ship only to find his crew mates' corpses littering the decks. They bore wounds unlike any he'd seen before--a powerful yet precise weapon had been used to dispose of the Saurins. It was on the bridge that the Sith Lord's apprentice got the drop on Chask. Or so she thought. He inhaled the acrid smell of charged ozone, "an energy weapon" he thought and then she was upon him. The apprentice, clad in a tight black catsuit, her dark hair hung limply in a loose ponytail. Wisps of black hair traipsed, wet with sweat, in her eyes. Her grimace was that of pure malice. Saurins, born predators, hunters, and trackers, had honed their battle hardened instincts for generations leaving little room for ego. They were unlike their Trandoshan cousins in that they were not possessed by the need for glory. Instead they pursued their foes with calm calculated tactics and derived their greatest pleasure from asserting their role as predators. Chask felt her bloodshot eyes piercing the back of his head. He heard the joints in her legs as they propelled her forward, her arms raised her saber above her head ready to strike. As if reaching out to catch a Krasss flyer--an insect delicacy native to the Saurin homeworld of Durkteel--Chask, in one fluid movement unsheathed a thin serrated blade and let his body fall backwards. before she could think to bring the glowing red blade down the Saurin fell back against her, toppling her to the deck, the momentum of his movements stealing any balance she may have had--any amount of focus. A single blossom grew from her chest--the hilt of Chask's blade,. As he regained his footing, Chask removed the blade from the human female's chest and cleaned it on the leg of his flight suit. His nostrils twitched as he picked up the scent, amid the blood and ozone, of a Devaronian standing over him. "Impressive. Most impressive. Such skill with a blade. And so strong in the force." Darth Lokus intoned with a sinister toothy Devaronian grin. Recognizing the dormant force powers within Chask, Darth Lokus made him his new apprentice, as was the right of the one who killed his former student, and began to hone Chask into a deadly razor sharp instrument of destruction. Chask would go on to learn all he could from Darth Lokus and kill his master in single combat. Thus becoming Darth Jurassus. As Darth Jurassus, Chask has slain thousands of beings and laid waste to countless towns on a hundred worlds. A being of pure dark power, he wields his Shi Ogama (Death Scythe) saber as he cuts a swath of death and destruction through the galaxy. He is one of the only Sith Lords to not be pursued by the Emperor or Lord Vader, he is considered to be too dangerous--a power on par with a natural disaster. He still carries many blades and daggers hidden on his person, as well as a standard lightsaber with a red blade and a hold-out blaster. In true hunter's fashion, Chask has affixed the helmets of some of his defeated foes to his Scythe. Among troopers, dngerous criminals, fugitives, slavers, Rebels, Imperials, Jedi, and Sith, he's even killed Mandalorians!

I had a blast creating Darth Jurassus! The Death Scythe is proabably my favorite part. The helmets of his fallen foes, pierced and spiked onto it. He's one mean lizard man! Good luck to everyone! Can't wait to see what else you create!

Jamie, that was the original rule but we all do this in the spirit of fun and good times so we are considering making a second vote thread for the small number of customs that are larger than 3 3/4 inch as the detailing you are able to achieve are not comparable. I sent PM's to the 2 members that inquired about 12 inch customs and never answered that in this thread so now the info is here. Any figures submitted larger than 3 3/4 inch will be grouped together in a second vote thread at the end of this contest.

One more plus his backstory: Darth Anansis was the last known Harch(same species as admiral Trench) Sith lord. He slew his master Darth Arach when it became clear to him that the sith master was using his sheer strength and natural brutality for his own secret ends and planned to kill him and take another apprentice shortly after the battle of Dis. Anansis was smart enough to hide his own sadistic and mad aspirations from his master...

Nope, didn't sculpt it. It was from an old Toybiz Spiderman manspider figure. The arms are from that too. Will be starting to sculpt soon though.

Very cool Kreeper2! That is a great figure design! Very interesting!

I wanted to try something different. A Sith beast / alien type brute of a guy. His savage nature makes it easy for him to choose the dark side...

LE saw this on your bench on FB last couple days and knew it was your entry! Great work. He and Anansis will fit right in together as beasts! I love the bone saber too.

Kreepr 2 love that guy! Awesome paintwork.
Title: Re: August Custom Action Figure Contest, Sith Style
Post by: Tamer on August 20, 2011, 06:30:41 AM
Daggone! A Whiplash turned into a Sith with some JOE wings. That turned out awesome Kreeper!

Spry, this guy with the dark side and his imposing size and strength would just seem unstoppable. What a great idea to use what I am thinking is a Covenant Brute for this. I also really, really like his markings and that bone saber that hangs off his belt.

Wouldn't I just love to see all these entries together in something like Sith Fire 30's Sith Temple. Wouldn't that be a great thing to see for C6? This is just another awesome contest and I wish there was some way to put them all together for a group shot. Ok, I am gonna take one of these to the fp for today and use another one tomorrow.

darth tygris is the creator of the phobos virus. the virus is used to make stormtroopers twice as fast. then a group of jedi came to destroy the virus. darth tygris injected himself with the virus. With the virus and his force powers combined it slowly transformed him into a giant monster. he only killed two of the jedi but he got their light sabers

This is my entry:

Darth Xerxez is the epitome of a gentleman.  Posh, refined and intelligent, he is non-the-less utterly evil.  One of the only Sith to remain in control of his emotions, he is as ice-cold and logical as any Vulcan.  He has no conscience, no remorse and no fear.  Rumor has it that his personal guard are all female, but only he and they know for sure.  While not strong enough in the Force to be True Sith, they have been trained in the Sith ways.  Equipped with sniper blasters, beskar armor plates and vibroswords they would lay their lives down for their master.

Darth Xerxez, Chiss Old Republic Sith Lord with two of his personal Sith Shadowguard.

Heres Darth Refelious' back story: Darth Refelious was a young sith apprentice when he found his master Darth Tau was going to kill him and show his head to the Jedi to try to get BACK into the order. He killed hid master in an EPIC showdown using all his hatred as he had been taught while his master had been caught off guard. He wore a mask that he took off only to people he wanted and to Jedi he was going to kill. Once his apprentice he had elected soon after declaring himself lord of the sith was trained, Darth Refelious let his apprentice kill him. His apprentice killed him swiftly like he promised and he soon became lord of the sith. Never was there another occurrence like that in all of sith history. DH DH

Thanks L.E. :)  

When I look at all these entries, I feel like this is an exciting time to be a part of the community.  I see everybody starting to push the boundaries of what can be done.    I like coming onto the boards and finding several new artists a week and the community growing at such a rapid rate.  There's going to be a lot of cool toys out there.  I'm really impressed by all the talent here at the Yards.
