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

More great work as usual. Tekli is a great figure (might have to do one myself). I really like how your pureblood Sith turned out - looks excellent!

Thanks Starchaser, Tekli was a fun project, pretty simple parts swap too. Glad you like the Pureblood, thought the legs looked a bit plain, but a good customer bought it already, so must have done something right.

Mentioned another figure I finished the same time as the mandalorians, but I didn't wish to show him until I knew my customer who requested him was happy. My customer wanted Darth Luft, I feel the parts I used were pretty spot on, and his tattoo is pretty close, but I myself feel the outcome wasn't quite right. I don't know, my customer liked it, and that's what's important. They like that I keep them in the loop, and strive to make them happy, has made things pretty good in a business wise, but on occasion takes from the art.

I posted his WIP a long time ago, but just got around to finishing him the other day. My proper height, and I think more accurate Darth Malak is complete. The pectoral area is a bit plain, and I forgot to attach the cape before sculpting the neck piece to his mechanical jaw. Other than those flaws I feel I represented the character far better than Hasbro's Malak, and he's come a long way since he started as Drax. The more I look at the Hasbro interpretation(?) the more I feel they used no reference picture and were just given a description. His Mechanical Jaw comes off, made a mold of the Hasbro one and got it around the head before it finished setting, complete with the inside mechanics sculpted on. The lightsaber is also connected by magnets for added fun.

I listed him here if anybody is interested: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Star-Wars-KOTOR-Darth-Malak-3-75in-figure-sith-revan-mandalorian-jedi-/351434987508?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item51d32857f4

Thanks Tamer, I have another one already. Darth Azard! Loving this one, made molds of the Savage Opress, and Darth Krayt shoulder pads for him, but sculpt the proper spikes on the krayt one. Heated up, and curved his double sided saber. I tried to make him as close to the character as possible, hope you guys like him.

Azard looks great. I really like the way the lightsaber turned out. Your work on Malak is excellent.

Thanks guys, was having a crappy day, but your comments have made my evening much better. Darth Azard has become another favorite of mine, glad he's appreciated.

Ok, totally posted on the wrong thread previously.  Oops.

Very impressed with your tattoo work on Darth Scabrous!  Sith Pureblood is really nice too.

The customer that bought the sith pureblood a little while back also requested a female sith pureblood to go along with it. I think they'll make quite the pair.
