Fantastic work everyone!

I just put together a custom, its Nightbrother Talzin - the offspring of Mother Talzin and Son from Mortis. He can wield the force and use all the magic of the Nightsisters - he is in fact so powerful with the darkside that Mother Talzin exiled him to Bespin until the time was right to unleash him on the galaxy. He works in Cloud City as a laborer - its dirty work with no end, but as each year passes his anger allows him to grow stronger with the darkside. He often wears a meager ensemble - but this is his Nightbrother outfit he was exiled in:

Here is another quick custom to go with my last - a young Mother Gethzerion, who went to Bespin to track down the abomination of the darkside. She was able to use an enchanted ring to transform herself into a Cloud City deputy administrator in order to find him. I think I may have to do a photo novel at this point!

Those look great darth_sidious and great choice of parts. The tabard you use for the nightbother is an awesome looking piece and it flows well with the upper torso.. :wink: .

Thanks drod26 - both were actually simple customs, I didnt put a lot of work into them, but I think they turned out decent. I really had to create my own characters / backstory for this challenge, because most of the Cloud City (human) denizens look like they jumped off the pages of a 80s JC Penney catalog. :P

Mother Gethzerion looks really good... I know you said you didn't put a whole lot of work into it, but imagine if you painted the body, gave it a wash, a dry brush and then finished up with fine deails? I bet it would look amazing.

Yeah, when I first saw the Hale action figure - I thought - that looks like something a Nightsister would wear. I liked the outfit as-is, so I didnt want to make any major changes. I of course painted the hands, gave the body a new female head and painted and added a forehead ornament like Talzin has, and then replaced the feet because they were too big for a female.

I have a few other Nightsisters in the works - those will be getting some real attention because I actually have to do some sculpting for them...

Heres my entry, based on some characters from my new w.i.p photocomic (My main character is the guy in the red top) :)
Image

Name: Adum Worrow
Age: 25
Home Planet: Bespin (Cloud City)
Bio: Adum’s father was a senator from Bespin during the Old Republic, and his mother was on the governing board for the Bespin administrative system. After the Empire took full control of the Old Republic Adum’s father stood against the empire along with Bail Organa and the late Padme Amidala to name a few. But on his was back to Bespin from a senate meeting his convoy was ambushed and is m.i.a and presumed dead by many. Adum’s Mother again rebelled against empire control and was imprisoned on an imperial world to be executed for her treachery. Following this unexpected turn of events, the 21 year old Adum who was on his way to becoming his fathers successor escaped the empires cold grip. Stowing aboard the nearest ship available he found him self on Ord Mantel, after 3 years of smuggling low key items to surrounding systems he was betrayed by his smuggling guild on the suspicion he was an imperial spy. He then spent the next year or so recovering from his injuries and hanging around in the local bars, pondering on how his life should have played out.

Those are awesome jedimasteradi, they really have a Cloud City feel to them. It's also great seeing someone willing to use a Jaina Solo head for a custom... I really like how those look and look forward do your photonovel.

Update of Adum Worrow. New Head to keep in the skin tone of his mother and father. This is a shot of him escaping Cloud City from the Emprie and the 501st!!
Image
And too keep in with the 70's/80's feel of the theme :P, he has some sideburns :)
Image
Here he is on his own custom vintage card. the name of my photocomic is called Orphans of the Empire!

Enjoy, May the force be with you!!
