sparkart Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 On the planet Tatooine, an old Chelonian scavenges on the Dune Sea near the Great Pit of Carkoon and finds a discarded Mandalorian rocketpack: Boba's back...pack by SPARKART!, on Flickr. The scavenger is well armed to defend himself from scum and villainy: Sarlaac Scavenger by SPARKART!, on Flickr. It's ironic, that so many things happen on Tatooine, in spite of being the planet farthest from the bright center of the galaxy. I suspect that Tatooine will be visited again, and there will be some awkward and ham-fisted nodding to the previous movies, like...a funny creature finding Boba Fett's rocketpack. ;) Quote
M<0><0<DSWIM Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Great work! That creature is pretty flippin creepy. Quote
Dapper-D2 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 Nice job on this Sparkart! I really like the idea of it and the hat on the creature reminds me of some characters in one of my favorite movies. (Big Trouble in Little China) The backpack looks sweet too, love your color choices there! Quote
sparkart Posted January 21, 2013 Author Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks for checking it out, guys! The backpack is colored as it appeared in Return of the Jedi. Boba Fett was a lot more colorful in Return of the Jedi than in Empire Strikes Back. To me, the patchwork colors suggested that Boba Fett's armor was scavenged from several different sources, mostly from Imperial troops (like Dengar's appearance in the Empire Strikes Back). I guess we did see a lot of variety of armor in the Clone Wars, but I was looking forward to seeing many factions of colorful groups of Mandalorian commandoes mixing it up. Dapper, yes, the hat was inspired by Asian sun hats. The first iteration was huge and oversized, to better protect from the sun, but it obscured a lot of the figure. The goggles were what's left from my attempts to make a full-face mask. I was thinking that a full-face mask would be more interesting, but it didn't work with the bare arms, it looked more like a weird robot, than a masked creature. The white trinket hanging from the creature's neck is supposed to be an animal skull. Quote
maedhros1980 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I like this entry a lot. I could tell that was a skull hanging from the neck. The scale of the jetpack kind of threw me off a little at first, the Chelonian is actually fairly small. Quote
joeshmoe554 Posted January 21, 2013 Posted January 21, 2013 I love the rifle on his back. The whole model is really well done and you did an amazing job of maintaining the scale between everything. Quote
Brickmamba Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 A really good looking mod of the ogre from lotr, a lot of neat details there, goodluck Quote
Esurient Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 Well done on the creature! It looks really villainous! Quote
