Oh man! You just opened up a whole new world of possibilities to me! I never thought of pillaging holiday ornaments for accessories. That's awesome. I can tell you what aisle I'll be going to when clearance season hits.

Great stuff! Now you just need to work on those Photoshoping skills a touch. 8) Maybe add a few shadows, etc.

I know! They had some really great shadows but I was too lazy to erase around and blend. :oops:

It's one Jawa that I painted. Posed several times and then quickly photoshoped. As Horse_Head pointed out... :p


I think I got those drums at Hobby Lobby last year. Came several to a pack. I usually hit Hobby Lobby, Michaels, and the seasonal departments at both Target and Wal-Mart for props. Of course there is the "doll house" section at Hobby Lobby. Always makes feel weired looking there though being a 32 year old man with a son.

Another interesting spot I've found is the scrapbook section. The fireplace in the picture is from a scrapbook set i found at Michaels. Sure it's flat, but works very well in the background. I also used it last year.

Very cool. I really like the christmas jawas. Those are the Jawas we should have gotten from Hasbro a few years ago. By the way, why didn't we get a Christmas figure from Hasbro this year? I guess people really hated that spray painted red vader from last year.

Tell me about it... when looking for items to populate the Enloe homestead in my next photonovel, I got some really weird looks. I was ready for some old lady to yell, "You [censored] freak!" :lol:

:wink:

LOL! :lol:

Thanks Chewie for the front page face time. I'm glad you like them Paulskywalker. I usually try to do something a little different.
 
Thanks! No photo novel for this scene. I was just taking some shots of the dancer I posted on ebay and thought this would make a funny Christmas party shot with him in there. (I love the snouty Kubindi and they are the only customs I keep. )

Another customizer (stocos28) and I made one photo novel awhile ago called Conflict on Kubindi. I will post it here in the yak forums, the customs are nothing to wow at in there. That is because we made sure we only used our pure leftover scraps to make the characters for the novel. They had to be lame & leftover, those were our rules.
It's still really funny. You inspired me, look for it in the photo novel section tomorrow.......

I have to make the I have some finishing touches of the MqMongrel seated to the left of the dancer. I like him because he reminds me of Bat-Boy from those supermarket mags.

Here's a ho-ho-ho holiday custom from old sambuca...

Grand Elf Tarkin

Grand Elf Tarkin is the head of operations at the North Pole. He answers directly to Santa Claus himself. Grand Elf Tarkin is known for being a tough boss, and does not leave room for error. He oversees everything from the factory to the great Christmas tree to the kitchen and everything else you could think of. This is the man running things at the North Pole while Santa takes care of Customer Relations.
