Yakfinities #28 - Organic Separatists
- Thread starter YAK_Chewie
- Start date
Ok, guess I'll kick things off - was going to work on a Neimoidian, but decided to go with something else.
Quarren Separatists - Always a fan of these aliens, so this was a good opportunity to make a couple more. I'll probably go ahead and squeeze these guys into the Rykrof Enloe series too.
head - Legacy Quarren Soldier
rest - TAC Elis Helrot
:wink:

Very nice Chewie, I love the Quarren as well.
I am looking for pictures of the Alien from the clone wars that is also Haakob's icon(picture under your name when you post) on the previous pages of this thread. His name and any photos would be a great help. I can't find anything at Cartoon Network.

Cool pair of squid heads, Chewie. Did you paint the shadows in their eye sockets, or is that the lighting of the figs? Eerie eyes, by the way 8)
I have been watching the Clone Wars cartoons with my 6 yr. old son and we have picked characters from the series to customize each week. Onacondo Farr has to make a tough decision as his home planet of Rodia is starving due to a seperatist blockade. He chose to join the seperatist and tries to captura Padme.
From Wookieepedia:
Sev'rance Tann was a Chiss female who left Chiss Space to become a Dark Acolyte and general in the Separatist Droid Army during the Clone Wars. Hailing from Csilla in the Unknown Regions, she became one of few Chiss to leave her people during her time, along with her lover Vandalor, both becoming agents of Count Dooku and the Confederacy of Independent Systems shortly before the outbreak of the Clone Wars in 22 BBY. Dooku taught Tann the use of the dark side of the Force, and she became one of his most trusted underlings.
I'm not declaring this my official entry yet, for two reasons.
1) I'm making a better entry, but I'm not sure I can finish it in time
2) My good camera is currently unavailable to me, and I want to at leas take better pictures.

Chewie:
Top-Notch Work As Always Great Use of Parts.
Your Figures Always Look Factory Made, But With Better Paint Apps.
Luke Sprywalker:
I Really Like This Custom. Great use of Parts and,
The Colors Are Spot-on to The Series.
I Have been Planning This One Out and Came up with Almost The Exact
Parts You Used.
DarthVirunga:
Beautiful figure I'm Totally In Awe Of All Your Work.
I'm Working on One Based On her Too.
Hopefully Mine Will be up To The Standard You Have Set For Her.

Great entries so far everyone!
Luke Sprywalker - Hey, now THAT'S a Rodian! It really captures the feel of the species for me. Heh. Very nice selection of parts and painting to capture an animated feel - but at the same time, it isn't overly stylized so it can fit in with either style of figures.
DarthVirunga - That's really cool, and a unique look. Great finding some non-female parts that work well for a female. Your stuff continues to amaze!
:wink:

WOW, talk about some great entries to get the ball rolling!
I've been checking by when I can, and this month's theme I think got the custom bug to bite again. I'm working on something that hopefully I can be able to submit, this yakfinities is going 2 months, right? Actually, shouldn't be a problem and getting it completed, just utilizing a Joe body, and having some issues with a smooth fusion, to keep the star wars figure feel to it.
Chewie - As usual, great work... The paint apps really bring these guys to life - and I agree that the eyes give them a creepy feel. Looks good. I thin that the thicker torso of Mr. Helrot befits these guys too. I dunno, just makes them look like more than rubber mask and gloves. The sandaled feet also make these a winner. Also, one thing that I've never thought about, but many times when you put together a custom, you go ahead and "army-build." I don;t know how many times you've put together pairs like this, but it's always cool and in some ways makes them seem a lot cooler than just a one-off.
Luke Sprywalker - Wonderful job with Onacondo Farr! The color scheme is so good in capturing the feel of the CW, but without going overboard to making it seem too one-sided in which line he could fit in. Those are Po Nudo's legs, right? I pulled one apart a good while back, and thought that they were so cool, but being static, seemed to be hard to use. I think you've used them the best possible way to show off the nice details of the sculpt, but where having it one-piece doesn;t hinder the figure one bit in the least. Again, good job on the parts and color choices - very nice figure that I think would fit in most anywhere!
DarthVirunga - I am impressed! I haven't kept up with the CW cartoons, or any of the more recent books... Is this a fanfic creation, or something from one of those sources? Either way, fantastic figure. The solid balc outfit makes for a great contrast of the blue of her skin, and of course the trademark red eyes. I've been trying to piece together your recipe for this one. I recognize a Marion Ravenwood head, and I think a little bit of Aayla Secura in there. Maybe Starkiller legs? And it appears you've worked in either Annie or Obi-Wan's skirt from the CW line? Wow, I had wondered if any parts from those could be used without looking too stylized with realistic figures. Apparently, if in the hands of the right customizer, then they work to great effect! Very nice figure there, keep up the good work!

Luke, Onacando Farr is one of my favourite characters of the series. Despite Jar Jar's comical escapades I really dig that episode. Great custom with paint apps that go really well with the CW line. Excellent job on his robe, by the way.
DarthVirunga, that's a beautiful Chiss (well, aren't they all :wink: ?) I'm also very curious to the recipe of this figure. Splendid job.
