Darth McBaine's Customs update 9.18.12

Postby DarthMcBaine » Sat Jun 30, 2012 5:51 am

May as well start my own topic here now.

I've been customizing for about a year now, inspired by many of the community her at Yakface (have even stolen a few recipes here and there... :D )

Will post the Yakfinities entries here first:

First up: Toydarian gambler Zato who arrived on Bespin for a high stakes sabacc game with Baron Adminstrator Calrissian

Image

Next a few Nikto businessmen who arrived on Cloud City to discuss Tibanna Gas prices: Mozar Rowora and Shatrani:

Image
Image
Image
Image

Couple of Bespin aides who report to Lobot: Vollta Th'and and Chassaat

Image

Kubaz smuggler Skivverin who will not tell his business but who really needs to meet up with Willrow Hood:

Image

and finally, also here for the sabacc game, a Nosourian smuggler named Lebrand Calac:

Image

Let me know what you guys think!

Really cool color choices! I love the Lando-like Nosaurian; terrific use of parts and paints there!

Very nice color schemes you got going there!! Nosourian smuggler is very creative, the parts go very well together.

Well, it´s about time I found myself a nice background and a working camera. These are taken with my phone straight from the living room. Doesn´t really do it proper justice, still hope you´ll enjoy them!

Those are outstanding... I love Ithorians, but dang...

And the Quarren, awesome color choice for the skin.

That Duros with the tan skin and black eyes? Creepy!

You are very good at painting. Especially on the skin tones for the aliens. It really, really looks awesome.

Wow! These are excellent revisions to these alien creatures...the Ithorian senator and Duros smuggler are exceptional, right down to the color choices and paint trim on the Duros' shirt. You're going to have to check with Chewie and see if he'll use some of these guys in the next chapter or so of The Enloe Chronicles; they really are that good! :D

Wow, such high praise, I am honestly humbled!

I´m really glad you like my customs: I´ve always been at the hobby alone so to speak; noone in my surroundings does anything other than occasionaly watch the films and they have no interest in the toyline and I was always fine with that. I must say it is very inspiring to be part of this community here and to really share the hobby. Since I´ve gotten into customizing I´ve really gotten hooked and I think I have to admit favouring customizing over collecting at the moment (slight epiphany there!).

I am still very much learning and experimenting and I must admit that some things I will never truly be able to do. Painting eyes and really small surfaces etc will always be very difficult for me and I have to resign myself that it will never be perfect (I have one eye that doesn´t work properly taking away some capability, especially depth-wise). I have watched many, many customs on these forums over the years and have learned a lot just looking and reading. I find this community very helpful and friendly; everyone is more than willing to share and help.

I have a soft spot for aliens; you will hardly ever see a human custom from me, and Jedi and senators have been my focal point. Money is an issue though; I cannot pick and choose from a huge stockpile of fodder as I am and have been out of a job for quite some time so my customs will mainly be headswaps with paint jobs. Anyway, enough about me, here are a couple new customs (the Florn was inspired by a custom Chewie did not too long ago).

A Florn Hybrid:

A Phuii Hybrid:

I will surely figure out how to post my pictures slightly smaller in the future....enjoy!

Very nice update - I especially like the Sakiyan... the paint scheme kinda reminds me of Ronald McDonald, but I mean that in a good way... very 1970s looking, which I think is great for Star Wars paint schemes.
