Posted September 18, 200717 yr Ok so it's been awhile since i posted a custom so thought what the hell lets post one, im currently reading the new dark horse Star Wars Legacy comics. They are set around 130yrs after ANH and follow the story of Cade Skywalker, they also have a few characters from the CW era in them. The big Sith villian of the series is Darth Krayt, so after warming to his design i thought i would have a go at creating him. So below is pics of my creation and also a ref pic from the comics: Usually when making a custom a lot of time is spent smoothing out edges, however i was very happy not to have to do this as hes full of sharp edges in the comics. That's it for now, i'll post more pics as i go along. Comments are welcome especially from anyone currently reading the series, oh and heres a link to the Wiki page should anyone wish to read more about krayt, but beware theres alot of spoilers in it: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Krayt
September 18, 200717 yr good moc. bad comic. when i saw that pic, i was like "what the..." it's clear the comic illustrator is no steven spielberg. just not my cuppa joe/tea.
September 18, 200717 yr Very nice *vader* ! I am not familiar with him but you have captured the likenes from the comic with great skill as always. *y*
September 18, 200717 yr Cool custom mate as usual ;-) That costume is way more fantassy than what we ar used to ;-) Very scary looking and filled with tatooes !! You custom really is well done and as always ressemble the feel of the original ;-) Are you planning some more customs from that comic which I never read ? That would reallt be cool ;-) *yoda*

You custom really is well done and as always ressemble the feel of the original ;-) Are you planning some more customs from that comic which I never read ? That would reallt be cool ;-) *yoda* Yes im working on a few, below are some more that i have started: Cade Skywalker * Gotta love those fleshie batman heads, they come in very handy as you can see. The hair piece is a custom i made, one im very happy with. Shado Vao *Colour of his torso needs to be changed slightly. Wolf Sazen *note yes i know he has only one hand, thats how he is in the series. Timento Posted Yesterday, 03:49 PM Really nice , It's almost the same color as Lego I bet all those spikes were hard to do, eh? No not really, as i said this fig was easier to do as there was no smoothing or sanding due to his appearance.
September 19, 200717 yr Awesome! These all look neat, and Darth Krayt looks very much like he does in the reference pic you posted. A job well done! *y* :-D
September 21, 200717 yr Great Custom, Vader! I also wanted to say, you could use the batlords helmet from the Dragon Fortress for an easy custom!
September 21, 200717 yr First off - great custom, really good, it must take a lot of skill and patience to create something like that. *y* But...I just read the history on that link you provided and it saddens me to see that SW writers have no imagination these days...they just keep going back to the same themes. Shame. This is why I stopped reading SW books. :-( Dr. S.
September 21, 200717 yr Great custom, bad character! I love how you've made something that looks disorganized, because that always takes the most amount of organization! Most people who try to do this sort of thing just slap things on, and it looks messy and like a two-year-old made it, to capture disorder is pretty hard :-D I haven't read, and won't read the LotF series, it's just so...urgh. They had to retcon the 'sith' as being fake sith by having the ancient sith laughing at them because they contradicted the entire "prophecy" thing (which isn't so bad since I hate the idea of the prophecy!). The empire coming back, the skywalker being some hick with a sawed off double-barrel shotgun pisses me off though >:-( Great customs overall! What color paint did you use to capture this? I also love sarzen, that hair is amazing *wub*
