Yakfinities # 14 - CRIME BOSSES - WINNER DECLARED

[Incom]

Wow, this YF's well on it's way to become another classic!! Great entries so far and the creativity is coming from all directions.

Johnboy, what figure is that?!?! It's wicked! Is it from the Cryptozoology line of figures?

 

[jedistyle]

this is shapping up tp be another great month, some very cool and creative netries so far.

johnboy - that custom is awsome. i'd really like to know what the base figure is.....

as far as a name, he really seems like one of those single name charecters, heres a couple suggestions:
orzka
maroot

great work though.

Horsehead: I love that guy--especially the chops and the goat! And, as someone already said, what a great use for a pegwarmer!

Johnboy: Wow!!!! That dude is really cool! Creative only begins to describe him! Any chance you could give us the recipe for him? And since names are floating about for him, how about Koo-Koo Kee-Chu (I am the walrus!)

Thanks for the kind words on my parts swap

 

[johnboy walton]

Okay, I think that we've got a name... Kee-Chu Maroot....

I'm thinking that perhaps "kee-chu" will be his title for say, "The Great" Maroot...
Thanks so much for the kind words and name help! :lol:

I hafta admit, I kinda cheated on this one. He was a pretty quick custom, and had a total of 4 components (not including his pick-up-stick staff)

Head - not real familiar with it, but it came from a McFarlane 4-legged steed thing. I picked it up dirt cheap at a local goodwill initially for some kind of transportation for an Imperial, but then decided that this would work perfectly.

Body - Not much to say about this one, it's a small Sully from McDonalds, repainted with some nice grey and white washes. Yes, I used a larger version for the earlier yakfinities: Brutes. But it's a good, cheap way to get some big guys in the mix.

Tunic - from Graxol Kelvyyn from the E1 Watto's box...

Necklace/shoulder wrap - ROTS Preview Wookiee

Thanks for the feedback!

Its a iquanus's ride i think somebody at GTG just got one. I think that needs to be casted :lol:

 

[stormtripper]

The entry's look pretty good so far, I need to get better lighting for my pics I know. I have a couple ideas for the halo - ween customs and looking forward to Oct already as well.

How cool are these entries so far?

If you don't mind me stepping in and letting everyone know where the head of this guy comes from, it's a Spawn Dark Ages series 2 figure called Iguantus & Tuskadon. The head is from Tuskadon the pack animal of a lizard type creature.

Great use of out of the norm parts on this guy. There are many larger type figures like this that would make some great fodder that is always over looked in most cases do to the size of the figure. I have a few of these Mcfarlane figures that I'm going to work into customs some day.

I really like this topic and everyone did a great job on their customs.

Those pics were big like you said (I think imageshack does that sometimes). So I resized them, hope you don't mind.

Anyways, awesome addition to this month... we still have until midnight Pacific Time tonight...

:wink:

 

[Horse_Head]

Bring on October... what's the category again?

 

[Straxus]

Good to know I made it in time!
Thanks for fixing the pics. I still dont know why only those pics refused to thumbnail properly. They way you made it look makes it look even better!
Hopefully there will be a few more last minute entries!
I know I waited till last minute for both this contest and the one over at SithEmpire.

Murray Lee Schlembaum is one of the shiftiest Crime bosses out there.

He is from the planet Coruscant orignally, but now goes where the money is. His only companion is Hunak, his trusted Jawa business advisor. He is a master thief, and even managed to steal a lightsaber from a Jedi once. He doesn't hesitate to use it to "cut ties" with a business partner gone bad.

Parts List:
POTF2 Malakili, painted on tattoos and Beard, belt pouch thing cut off to let robe fit,
Bib Fortuna robe, repainted in some areas,
Saesee Tiin lightsaber


Sorry for the fuzzy pic, still working thru camera issues on my new cameraphone. Better pics next month, I hope!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Glad we got two more entries in last night - winner will be declared tonight for September. We didn't have as many entries as most previous months, but we did have some very good customs made.

As for October, that contest will be officially announced either Tuesday or Wednesday night - but there will be two contests actually, one for Halloween themed customs and another for Yak Bash, which will be customs to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of www.yakface.com being online.

:wink:

 

[raziel]

:wink: Wow - Yakbash, Halloween the secret santa!

I'm really sorry I couldn't join in this month fellas - BLACK ILLUSION has taken up most of my free time & I would have felt like a cheat using one of my simple background characters.

As usual there are some true classics in the mix!

I'll be back it next one :lol:


P.S Will someone check on Jordan Hofer :?: I think we need to make sure he's ok :shock: :!:

 

[YAK_Chewie]

I sent him a PM... I hope everything's ok...

:wink:
