Well, there aren’t any reference photos for Darth Venamis, Darth Tenebrous’ secret apprentice. I’ve made a few versions over the years, but never seem to make one that satisfies me. I like this one better than most. In the Darth Plagueis novel, he seems young and inept, but also unaware of that fact. I’d imagine he’d wear something fairly simply, like apprentice’s robes, but also a fancier cape to suit his ego.

Some more photos of Nomi Sunrider, with a bit of light weathering added:


Looks like I missed a few while I was away.  Really nice work.  You obviously love the EU.  You make me wish I had found the Darth Plageius book for the trip.

It's still worth reading Plagueis even now, and the audiobook version is especially good (narrated by the butler from "The Nanny").

I really enjoyed the Plagueis novel and I really like your take on this character. The use of the Hasbro head keeps him in proportion and the slightly ostentatious accessories seems very in-line with the character we meet in the book.  Well done!

Your Darth Venamis looks great.
I like his biography: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Venamis

Heir to the Jedi Luke
« Reply #142 on: May 09, 2014, 04:31:59 PM »
This is my first custom figure based on Disney's new Canon Universe novels! Actually, it's just Luke based on the famous pre-ESB promotional shot, but it's also the same image of Luke as depicted on the cover of Kevin Hearne's "Heir to the Jedi." Basically just swapped the arms off Sandstorm Luke onto Yavin Luke.

-   TBS Yavin Luke
-   TVC Endor Luke arms

I like the Luke. I've always liked that Ceremonial Luke, it just makes sense to do the promotional costume as well. The Black Series Luke could have easily come with an extra set of arms. Just like you demonstrated here, the mold to do so was already in the library. I might do one of these too.

I always thought that's how Luke would go tooling about the galaxy post "A New Hope." I like it!

Shasa Tiel
« Reply #147 on: May 12, 2014, 10:15:03 PM »
This was my attempt at a Shasa Tiel custom during the late 1990s. I’m hope to redo and update the figure sometime soon.

Now, with all that I’ve learned, I do it right – or at least better.





Recipe:
-   Ishi Tib head and hands (latter repainted)
-   TBS Yavin Luke arms and jacket
-   TVC Starkiller torso (shoulders shaved own)
-   Comic pack Kyle Katarn belt
-   Concept Ki-Adi Mundi legs

Thanks! Funny thing is I just noticed those black lines around his crotch. I swear they don't look like that on the figure itself! I think the flash accentuated the cracks in the waist joint. I kind of wish i had had an extra TBS Yavin Luke torso, but that already went to my promo Luke figure above.
