Ok, I want to enter this awesome contest but I have a question: I have recently gotten a commission for a cusotm Mando figure from someone. I am collecting parts for it as I write this. Even though this is a commission piece may I still enter it? I have not begun to create it yet and was actually going to start it tonight.... Oh and the design of the figure will be all from my own ideas as well.

Chad, I'm sure that's fine since you can even post WIP shots.

Sounds cool to me, Chad. You haven't posted it here or anywhere else.

Here is the little teaser wip of what I have barely started.

I like the bare armed burly look of that latest blue ee comic pack mando so it kind of inspired me to use this guy as a base figure to start with.
The chest armor is a trimmed down resin casting of the Deluxe jango chest armor piece that I still need to trim on some.
The two helmet pieces are the back half and visor from a resin atrt driver helmet, "the other half of which I am using on a figure I am working on in my custom figures thread" and the front half of a ee mando resin b'arin apma helmet.

Off to a great start on mine; I thought I'd have a terrible time coming across supplies for it, but, turns out I had most of what I needed right here at home.  I'd love to show WIP pics, but, it's probably a bit too early for that.  Maybe tomorrow...  I've got quite a bit of knife work to do, anyhow.

Actually, here are some WIP shots.  The sketch is going to be my guide for this one, which is pictured in the first shot.  (I'm not sure on the armor paint scheme yet, where there's green at.)

I've gotten to work on the plume/brush thing atop his head, which, when I'm done, I'm hoping will resemble the Spartan King Leonidas I.  It's tedious work as I have to lay in each bristle, by hand, so, this one will take a lot more work before I'm completely happy and done with it.  (Not looking forward to doing the other side, really, but, I'm sure it'll look great when finished.)  And, I know it needs trimmed, lol.  It's wild, as is...

OOOH, cool, I have a similar idea for my helmet, Spartan looking, not sure if I'm gonna go with the hairy top or not, we'll see...
