Total votes : 22

So how is this Yakfinities going to work? If you have any questions, please look around the photonovel section HERE and see the different photonovels created by the forum members... this topic is rather broad as you are able to go with any character you see made in a photonovel.

I would encourage if someone sees a character like Darth Vader in a photonovel, to not just take a picture of a Darth Vader figure and say, "Here's my custom!" I think the point would be to take one of the characters in the story that the photonovelist made up or made a custom of (like Ace Azameen for example from julienmaurices' series).

Hope that makes sense for everyone - this should be a lot of fun and hopefully we'll see a good variety of characters made from several different photonovel series.

The doors on this Yakfinities with close at 11:59 PM CST on Tuesday, August 31.

Might be a neat time to do a Rykrof tribute of some sort with the final chapter of the main series coming up.

Maybe something as open as "Inspired by the Rkyrof Enloe Series", if you don't mind everyone playing in your sandbox.

[YAK_Chewie]

Well - that's something that personally I'd be up for - if there's anyone else interested it can be added to the voting categories.

Also here's a few other ideas:

- Cantina Aliens (anything that looks like it would fit in with the classic scene from ANH)
- Pre-TPM (any character that shows up in the prequel trilogy, but a younger version from before the events of Episode One)
- Post-ROTJ (any character that shows up in the original trilogy, but an older version the after the events of Episode Six)

[DanOfTheDead]

The age thing is a cool idea, I'd suggest we'd combine them and call it something like "A Matter Of Time", with the guideline being to show an established character from the films at a significantly different age than anything we've seen so far.

Could either be taking a younger/older version of a film character from the books (NJO era Luke, for example) or just showing a character at an age we've never seen before.

[lugo_matapollos]

here are some ideas...

a) mandalorians
B) non scient huge beasts
C) mixture of fantasy/movies...like star wars mets 300, or gladiator, LOTR, willow, friday the 13th, nightmare at elm street.

just imagine...Robert d Niroo from taxi driver walking arownd in a politician meeting at coruscant, or a padawan looking like daniel Laruso from karate kid, a drunk nicholas cage look alike character at mos eisley cantina...

Rodian's-all Rodian, all shapes, sizes and pilotical affiliation

Rebel/Imperial spies..not sure if we have done that one

Spice miners

I really like Dan's "Rykrof Tribute" idea and would personally love if it will become one of those themes to choose for the next YAKfinities.

[YAK_Chewie]

What if it were "Yakface Photonovel" inspired characters, which would be more broad? That would include a broader spectrum of characters and forum members who created them, like The Drewton Legacy, Dark Child and others...

All right, you got a point there!

[YAK_Chewie]

Alright - voting has begun folks.

[Mandalore]

I love me some spies (or any excuse to make bad*** alien thugs) so that got my vote.

[YAK_Chewie]

I'm hoping for Photonovel characters, but I'm probably a bit biased on that one.

How exactly would the photonovel category work? It seems it has a lot of popularity but I don't see what we're supposed to do for it.

Hey Dan. Well, in case the photonovel idea becomes the winning theme for round 36 of YAKfinities, we need to think about a character (or characters) that at least once appeared in a photonovel of your choice that can be found in the photonovel archive of yakfaceforums.com (and with so many photonovels made you really have the agony of choice ). Personally, I think that you are neither restricted to a certain character species (Human, Duros, Twi'lek, Rodian, Aqualish, Wookiee...), nor to the kind of character (Jedi, Sith, Mando, Merchant, Senator, Clone, Droid...), nor to the gender (male/female). Actually, it would be one of the broadest topics by far.

Hope I could help you

So, if the contest were for photonovel characters, then I could make, say, Rykrof Enloe in Storm Trooper armor?
