Yakfinities #72 - Desert Dwellers - WINNERS POSTED

[ericpabon]

Thanks johnmorog! The Obi-wan pack was a little tedious, but I'm happy with the result! Good luck!

 

[YAK_Chewie]

ericpabon, these are spectacular.

Kenobi - Very nice take on him, this makes me want to make a new 3.75" custom version

Fett - Totally amazing take on him later on in life.. the details are fantastic... love the hanging beard! This looks like it could be an official Sideshow product. Just, wow.

B’omarr Monk Enforcer - Are you freaking kidding me??? I love this! It's so cool and original.

Hermie Odle - Ha ha, very well done.

Skrith - That's really cool. Something looks familiar to me, I'm not sure where but I think I've seen that head before. Can you share some more details on the parts list?

Overall, great stuff - really enjoyed these fresh customs and the cloth goods really turned out to look excellent.

:wink:

 

[ericpabon]

Thank you for the kind words!

The base figure for Skrith is a vinyl overseas figure from Bandai. I believe the character was from the original Ultraman series. They make a ton of these, and they are GREAT alien fodder!

Man, these are some fantastic entries so far. Here are my first two (of hopefully many) entries for this round.

First up
Monoc Monoc is an Abyssin hailing from the arid world of Byss. Like many of his species, he ended up off world thanks to slavers. He was sold into slavery as a pit fighter. Many of his opponents were unfamiliar with his species ability to regenerate and paid with their lives. After winning his freedom he drifted around the Outer Rim until he ended up on the desert world of Soccoro. With not much in the way of skills, he found employment doing the one thing he knew well; fighting. Monoc is now an enforcer for the local crime lord, Abdi-Badawzi.

The Calrissian Family The Calrissians have lived on Soccoro for many generations. Jordo Calrissian is a merchant selling goods to the inhabitants of Soco-Jarel Spaceport. Being a practical man, he always wears a black duster over his clothes so the black sand is less noticeable. His youngest son, Taryn is a member of the Spaceport Security Patrol. His oldest son has since left Soccoro and is wandering the galaxy. Last he had heard his son was administrator of some gas colony or something like that.

These two are purely fan fiction but based off information on Lando Calrissian on Wookiepedia. Soccoro was first introduced in the Star Wars RPG from West End Games. Somewhere along the way they decided that Lando was born on Soccoro and had family there. It has since been made canon.

Here are my desert dwellers. I think i have posted these previously on this site but not in a Yakfinities. So hopefully they'll be alright. Cheers

 

[johnmorog]

Great job on those customs. Lots of people are crying for a new farmboy luke. I believe the goal of Yakfinities is to create a new custom specifically for the challenge, not just to enter ones that you've already made, though.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Awesome for reference, but correct - only new customs should be submitted. If anyone does want to share older customs those are welcome, we just ask that it's noted that it's older work for reference only.

BTW, that Luke is amazing. I like the other guy as well.

:wink:

 

[jaghearse]

Ok, that's a pity but accept the principle of the contest. I will therefore retreat and thrash something else up before the deadline. Can I give Luke sunglasses?...

 

[jaghearse]

Also, thank you guys for your positive comments.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Yes, please make more customs... love your work. Very inspiring.

:wink:

From his base on the desert moon of Jedha, Woan Barso smuggled refugees out of the Imperial held Holy City using his dilapidated Unar-Con tug.

I love the aesthetic of the Partisans and the Cloud Riders. Maybe they're not technically from the Desert, and maybe they don't really 'dwell' anywhere, but I think they could be at home in a desert setting.

 

[sam1]

I like to imagine that, perhaps through an initial collaboration between Weasal and Edrio, the Partisans and Cloud Riders shared intelligence from time to time, and formed temporary alliances on occasion when their goals aligned.

 

[sam1]

More scenes from the Catacombs of Cadera. Sometimes when casualties were heavy, and after all the organics were stitched back together as best as their limited resources would allow, G2-1B7 would take an extra-long oil bath to recover from the horror.

 

[johnmorog]

Jedha was definitely a desert, so I'd say they dwell there Love that 2-1b. I really want to make one of those! I also like your diorama.

 

[sam1]

Well Jedha is a desert, but I wasn't sure if Partisans "dwelled" there. I was thinking of 'dwelling' as peaceful 'abiding', and the Partisans definitely don't abide. Cloud Riders have a nice Western aesthetic that looks good on the sands of Savareen, but of course, its massive oceans disqualify it as a desert.

Thanks. I got an extra 2-1B on Ebay last week just for that purpose. Eight bucks isn't bad for a ~30 year-old figure. He isn't perfect, but it's the best I could do free-hand.

 

[my kind of scum]

Trying this from my phone as that is where my images are... I took a few days off of work for celebration and made some new customs while watching the live streamed panels. I feel like these would all fit into a desert setting though they weren't created with a specific desert planet in mind...

Edit: Now that I am not on my phone and can type a bit more, a little detail on these customs. Most are "easy" customs - just added paint or soft goods but...
The droid is a Disney build a droid vendor with added paint. My intention was to make him look like a pieced together droid who was salvaged (or salvaged himself). I may further weather him to tone down the colors a bit more.
The Swokes Swokes is simply Gragra with jedi robes, a headwrap (I believe from a Padme figure? I am not sure to be honest), and a piece of red felt.
The armored character is an Acid Rain World figure. I repainted his armor and cut his soft goods to look more like a single sided cloak (still torn on wether or not to have his arm out or in...) and then repainted a hot rebel's backpack and glued a belt to it. Pretty simple.
The ranat was partially a stolen recipe. I don't remember who I stole it from, so my apologies.Head is Kabe, torso is the Clone Wars Arconan, arms and legs are TPM TVC Anakin and hands are from my fodder bin and repainted - I don't remember whose they are.

 

[YAK_Chewie]

Those look terrific... I'll comment in more detail soon...

:wink:

As a member of Saw Gerrerra's Partisan's on Jedha, Weetuf Cyu-bee was tasked with building the explosives used against Imperial hardware deployed in the Holy City.
