I've been thinking hard about the custom contest, and have the pieces for these figures I'd like to make and if good enough enter in the contest. This will at least give me one to focus on, and if it doesn't turn out I'll focus on the next highest. Hopefu

Thanks, I tried to get Belth Allusis as close as I could. It was it first time I had to sculpt hair, and it looks cool with grey clay so I didn't have to paint it. I would have liked to make the shoulder pads closer to the way his really are, but then again I'm also glad I figured out a way to do them with what I have on hand.

Had a customer ask about getting a Twi'lek Togruta hybrid with a blue and green double bladed lightsaber. My immediate thought was "that's brilliant!", so I drew up some sketches of what a the hybrid could look like, and asked which one he'd like, or if he had another idea in mind. He liked them all thinking it would be cool to swap the heads. My customer has great taste too, wanting removable clone armor, and the ability to put the hilt on his belt or back. So I tricked the saber hilt out with magnets in the center and ends for optimum customization. Then easy swap with the removable armor clone figure's legs and arms to make the armor fit perfectly. Working on the middle conceptual head sketch first, in my WIP pics.

Well now this looks to be an interesting project. It will be great to see completed, especially with all those head sculpts.

Had a different customer ask me to make him this one, a cross between Slave Leia and Elsa from Frozen. It's mostly a repaint, but I did sculpt some more hair above the forehead, and over the ears to make her look more like Elsa. Was cool because I have been meaning to do some crossovers, but I'm thinking more like Mass Effect, and Elder Scrolls crossovers.

My first thought was that it was Dany Targaryen.

Now that you mention it, does look similar Dany Targaryen, and thanks Koth.

I like the look of her. She could easily fit into most fantasy or sci-fi genres. Off to share.

I totally thought it was Khaleesi / Daenerys Targaryen.

Glad to be showing something, have been working on commissions, and have been getting over scheduled at work lately. This is another figure for the same customer that wanted Salve Elsa, it's some female Togruta sith created by some artist I'm unaware of, but I hope if they were to see it, they'd think I captured her likeness for my customer. The pics didn't turn out well, on my computer she looks glossy orange, but she's flat red. I'm very satisfied with the way the head turned out though, sculpted it myself.

I'm not one to talk like this but, "Damn!  She's hot!".  Very cool.  Impressive sculpt work there.  If you're customer is not satisfied, have them write a letter to customer service.

Yes quite attractive, this customer of mine has exquisite taste in female characters, and I agree that there aren't enough sith, I own every sith/dark jedi character Hasbro produced, and it's only 20 some figures ;D but no more because the EU is over  :'( I'm cunfused on that considering The Old Republic is still up and running ???
