I really like the true Knight look. Makes a lot of sense for a "Jedi Knight".

Found the time to get this one on the front pages with better comments. I do like the final look.

I always thought that Hasbro should have done Satine. I also thought she might look good in realistic style and after having seen a photoshop image of Ewan Mcgregor and Nicole Kidman in the roles, I thought, "use a Mrs. Coulter head from the Golden Compass movie figures." So I put a Mrs. Coulter together with a Black Series Luminara figure (and a lot of paint) and this is what I came up with:



and together with Obi-Wan:



Sorry the natural light washes out the colors a bit (I'm not a great photographer). The tunic is dusty rose, the undershirt is a bisque/cream and pants are actually a fawn gray (not light blue). I tried to use colors from the animated series for her palette.

IABF, ghostskull and Ajunta Pall, thanks so much for taking the time to look and post comments. I appreciate your kinds words. Working with pastels and other "feminine" colors is more challenging than blacks and grays ;)

Satine looks great! I've used that same head on stuff. Tis a good one.
The exploits of my life are less canonical than they are legendary.

Here is an attempt at a Squib from the EU (first from the West End Game and then in the comics). His name is Spiceefelius-mifram, but he goes by Spic. Spic does not work for Squib Merchandising Consortium like most of his species, he is an independent. But he is still in the salvage business.





Recipe:
     Head = Mojo Thompson's Gazelle Fawn
     Body = Legacy Utai

While the head isn't a perfect match to most of the illustrations of the Squib, I'm satisfied with the likeness.
