amazing job guys, the art is really unique
-
guys this looks awesome ! love the writing and love the images a perfect marriage
-
Brilliant!!
exciting story, exciting art, this is totally awesome, guys!!
you rock - cheers!!
-
aahhhhhhh, this is the good stuff!
-
What can I say to you three?
Things like this are the very reason for the Yards. You have taken our chosen hobby and combined various customizing artforms to make a product which I believe is unequaled in its complexity and beauty. Truly this is what customizing and action figures were meant to be. I knew any work between the three of you would be unparalleled and I was correct. Bravo gentlemen. Bravo.
-
I think I'm talking for all of us when I say thanks everyone for the kind words. For me it has been a lot of fun putting images to Kessel Run's great story and equally to be able to use LE's figures adds a wonderful dimension to the creative process...
I'm now looking forward to seeing what Kessel Run has got up his sleeve for Jez and Hovin...
-
Amazing work! This story is great!
-
Unfriggin-believable!
That...is...storytelling! Nice work gentlemen!
-
Guys, I was so excited with all of this I took it to the FP, but forgot to comment on it! It's truly amazing, wonderful work by the 3 of you. I can't wait to see how this continues to develop!
-
Not only are the visuals totally awesome but the story has me totally hooked. I had to go back a 2nd time to look at the images because I was so into the story I was just trying to read it as fast as I could. Two big thumbs up from the Sniper. ;)
-
Wow, I'm blown away by every bit of it! This is really good stuff!
-
BRILLANT!!!!
Brillant writing, brilliant figure creation, and brillant artwork!!!!
Next chapter, please!!!
-
I think BRILLIANT is the word that most of us are using to describe this art you guys created - AWESOME!
-
Awesome job everybody!! You all work really well as a team. Elias and I read it last night and we are both really looking forward to part two. You did a great job of getting us completely invested in just your first installment. Great writing, great customs and a killer layout full of incredible visuals make it a winner for sure!
-
Jules, this is some breathtaking work you have delivered! The look and feel of each environment is spot on. Your hard work has paid off for sure!
-
WOW! I'm stunned. This is amazing.
-
WOW! there really isn't much of an appreciation for this kind of work on any of the other custom sites, so knowing that there is an audience here means so much to me.
I have to admit that Kessel Run has done a great job of getting the reader to warm to the lead characters in such a very short space of time...so much like the original Star Wars movie...the moment we saw Luke, we knew he was going to be a great character, the same with Ben, Han, Chewie etc, and the same goes for Jez and Hovin, in fact I quite fancy Jez, which is very weird!?"?"!?
Anyhow, thanks everyone once again, for you have made my hobby so much more fun....
Part 2 should be here in around 8 weeks...
-
DH Awesome! DH Can't wait to see the Skraepers.
-
Looks Awesome! I have had loads of work to do, but chapter 2 is part way done. Will get it done soon.
-
Very very impressive, which as a fan of your previous work I'm not surprised by :P Some of the shots were truly breathtaking.
Looking forward to the next issue.
-
KRI, LE and Jules,
I just finished part one and all I can say is STUPENDOUS! Wonderful work and I can't wait for the next installment!
-
THis is absolutly brillant!!!
-
Great job. Will there be mentions of the previous history or will it be a clean slate?
-
PD, I'm not sure...the beauty with this story is that it really can go almost anywhere....let's see what KRI comes up with.
-
I have finally got some time to work on chapter 2, so it will probably be in production soon.
As for tying in the Galaxy's previous history, almost anyplace could be littered with a multitude of interesting artifacts...
-
That is great news! Glad to see you are able to get the creative juices flowing again! This real life crap is cutting into our play time!
-
Here here!
I've received the next chapter and WHOW! nice work, really nice work. It may be a couple of weeks before I can get going on the graphics so please bear with me.
Cheers,
Jules

Don't worry, we all know it's worth the wait ;)
-
Guys,
I know I've been quiet of late (work is getting in the way unfortunately), but I thought I'd just let you know that Part 2 is now in production....
(http://i683.photobucket.com/albums/vv191/hangarbay94/Apocalypse/art21.jpg)
-
Sweet! Looking forward to it!
-
Can't wait!
-
Can't wait for Part 2!!! The work that all of you have put into this is simply amazing and it really shows, excellent job boys 0/
-
Bring on the Scraepers! Easily this is one of my most looked forward to events. The talents is everywhere.
Once again, thanks for sharing it here Jules, L.E., and Nate.
-
a great work of art.even without the pictures I could have imagined every detail as you painted it in my head with the well written words of description.I only wish it was A finished comic book so that I could hold it in my hands,and turn every page with anticipation with what was to come next.can't wait to see what happens.
-
Well I am just proud to be working with such a great writer as Nate and graphics wizard as Jules! JMtrix that is the single greatest reaction anyone could hope for. It is my same reaction to reading it when Nate sent it to me in novel form. I could litteraly see everything happening in my head. Nate has been really busy with his new job so I will have to text him to get in here and check everyones comments.
-
Hi folks, I'm sorry that this has been so long in the making. Work commitments have been taking all of my creativity lately, but I've managed to cram in a few days of Star Wars fun to present to you Apocalypse Chapter 2... Enjoy.

Blown.
Away.
:thumbsup:
-
Cool!, AWESOME CHAPTER! ;D
-
sorry can't comment...jaw...unhinged...
-
Mindblowing.
Utterly mindblowing.
Some absolutely beautiful shots in this one - I can't decide which is my favourite. The squad entering and casting those long shadows...that opening shot...the huge explosion at the end...argh! Impossible to choose.
Stunning work, and my only criticism is that there's too much to compliment ;D
-
I cannot believe what I've just seen. This is mind-bogglingly rad.
-
Wow, can't wait to get home to write some better comments, but wow.
On the front page.
-
Thanks so much everyone for all of the superb feedback. I've been absolutely crap lately as I've had no time to contribute to the forums, you are all such a great group of guys as you make this hobby so much fun.
Tamer, YOU ARE THE MAN!!!
-
Looks even better than the first chapter. I love the shot of the Mask of Anarchy exploding and I think the panel with the close up of the eyes is outstanding. Great work, guess I bettrer get started on chapter 3.
-
This is incredible!!!!!
-
...and I only found three typos!
;D
Sorry, I've been editing this week - professional humor.
-
Yep, I noticed a couple...Unfortunately I have to cram in my creative time so making minor corrections has had to wait....
But thanks for highlighting the errors (ps Nobody loves a smartass ;))
-
Jules that is such a visualy stunning chapter! Mind blowing stuff man! So many amazing panels in this chapter!
-
Awesome work, hangar
Great sense of motion in the panels and nice composition. All of the special effects are pretty darn cool as well. Nice job and can't wait to see the next part..
Oh yeah...Kessel and Luke..Nice job on the story, nice pace and intriguing to the last page.
-
I had two sick ladies yesterday evening so I didn't get to comment, but I did look at this.
What a great blend of story, customs, and imagery. I have not seen anything like this. Bravo to all of you.
I can only hope this continues.
-
Sorry! We've been sick for better than 2 weeks so I'm worn out, plus I've been working on editing a rule-book - so, yeah, smartass is all I've got to offer. (plus I'm just insanely jealous of those awesome photographs) lmao
But all joking and teasing aside, this is unbelievably awesome work you guys are putting out. Mine's not going to be anywhere near this cool...
-
Bravo to you all on another round of mind blowing art, story, and customs. So much potential in this series, I can hardly wait to see what happens next!
-
awesome ... this is outstanding dope :)
-
This story has me hooked. It brought a smile to my face to see one of my creations in the story. HB, your graphic work is amazing! I want to thank all of you guys for putting this thing together. I can't wait to see more !!!
-
Simply, simply awesome. Can't say enough how forward I'm looking to seeing this series continue.
(On a side note, I'd support you sending this to Lucasfilm if I wasn't so certain that they'd change a few things around, like make the desert world a school suffering through lunch program reductions, turn the Skraepers into plush little rabbit people that like to cuddle, and make the main characters whiny and unwatchable. This series is perfect right where it belongs: here at the 'Yards!)
Congrats on a another terrific chapter!
-
I know I am speaking for everyone involved in this project by saying thank you to everyone for showing your support and sharing your comments.
JediMerc, your comment does make a serious point and it is perhaps why this subject matter is so attractive. Your comment is mainly aimed at Kessel Run Imports as the imagery, though illustrated by me, has come from his head and has been given form by Luke Sprywalker and Clone Sniper, who by the way has been creating customs that have a harder edge for a while now.
I suppose that this story is the antithesis of Clone Wars in that the theme is genuinely darker and is a reflection of the times we live in.
I too am very much looking forward to what Kessel Run has in store for us next.
-
Jules, There are no boundaries for you Sir. That is what I would like to do with all the dio'sI Have. I have a story line but I might need so help with graphics Like I said Ihave many dio's I can go from Endor to the outerrings of thsolor system. And a good story I''' send some to you soon. Again awesome job on this project.
-
Yes, as jules said, thanks for all the kind words! I really enjoy making original characters from Nate's description of their reasons for life and their culture. I am having great fun with this project! I should have some pics of a tribe of desert dwellers in the custom figures thread soon...
-
LE, please post your custom images here as well as they are part of the fun of the project. If anyone else wants to create customs inspired by what you are reading here please let us see them...
-
OK, since you asked, here you go. The next challenge was to design a humanoid species for future chapters. This is a brief description of what I was working with to create this character.
Hajhti - the seemingly friendly inhabitants of a desert planet where winds are extreme. Although they use technology they are very tribal and have spiritual superstitions. They are a proud people who have little and live the bleakest of lives.

-
Well, we can definitely see a glimpse into what is up next!
Folks I have to admit to seeing these images before, but as it turned out LE created customs that exactly matched my thoughts on what the tribes people would look like. Just before LE sent me images I told him that perhaps the tribes people should be humanoid with red tone skins, then two seconds later LE sends me images of customs that are exactly that....
Great minds think alike!
