On the Gand, I didnt' realize you'd inserted the hoses into the figure. That actually makes the position of the hoses more understandable. It's probably something I should have seen, and would have seen in person. I'm still jealous as all get out

And I posted this over at RS re: Plagueis, but I wanted to put it here too as I really like the concept for the figure:

CHEWIE -

You and I think alike. I envision Plagueis as a somewhat misunderstood and oddly benevolent man who turned to the Dark Side for what he believed to be good... sort of a non-bratty, less self-centered Anakin. To that end I don't see him as a rampaging warlord or an ambitious Machiavellian ala Palpatine. If he was, surely Palpy couldn't have gotten the drop on him when he did.

I also *love* the blindness. It seems very consistent to me that Plagueis would tamper with the Dark Side in his quest to perpetuate life to the point it started hurting him. And I don't think he'd resort to technology, but rather use the Dark Side to "see" the world around him (if he was the master he was professed to be, this wouldn't be that hard).

I absolutely love this custom. We have plenty of scary and evil looking Sith. I think Plagueis is the antithesis of that model, and it's what makes his "Tragedy" all the more compelling.

Again, bravo.

Nice Gran... is there any way to modify his tubes to hang in a more neutral position? He looks like he's whirling around to confront someone.

Really, really cool, though. I need to look into snagging some BU's for my own work.

You know, I wonder what a Galactic Lawyer would look like... for some reason I envision grand robes and colorful trappings and wigs ala English Common Law...

As for my frog, I'll try to get a good shot of him tonight to submit as a final. I also want to touch up just a couple of problems I've seen with him.

From there I have some old Bossks that need to become something other than Bossk...sounds like as good an excuse as any... :p

OK, I know how to use a camera, I know how to use photoshop, but I'm just figuring out how to use both on such tiny subjects. I've already posted these in the Customs forum, but I think that might have been the wrong place.

Please evaluate and comment on the following. They may or may not grow to be a part of a PN, so for right now just take them as they are and comment on my effects/lighting.

Thanks!

Hey, paint a couple of pupils in there and he's the kind of Wookie I want on my team .

That is excellent, KF! I always liked the old SOTE Guard, but did feel it was a little out-of-place looking with other Imperials. This change would make him fit right in!

And I dig the Sci-fi torso. It looks so close to Clone armor - I actually thought it was a Clone torso with a lot of work done.

Keep up the good work.

Bravo, Chewie! The last sequence (from the confrontation with the Witch to the evac flight) reminded me a great deal of how Lucas likes to wrap things up... bang bang bang bang and done.

I'll miss Dathomir for now, but I think that's great. You left me wanting more.

CHEWIE -

Have you previously posted on how you make the blast effect from the muzzle of the blaster? I can do bolts with relative ease, but my muzzle blast looks pretty sad.

If you can't point me to a tutorial, can you give me a pointer or three? (I am fluent in Photoshop so far as layers, transparency, effects, etc, so have at it).

Thanks!

Oh, and the preview looks GREAT, although it raises yet more questions depending on when that photo comes up in the story...
