Customs Community and Group Projects / Re: Monthly Customizing Challenge - Month 5 - Bounty Hunters and Terrorists!
« on: October 2, 2005, 10:20 PM »
OK, so I'm a little late, at least I got my WiP in on time. 
I thought about fiddling with the skin color for my BH, but I really like the shade of green now. I did go back and touch up the pants a bit and also re-painted the torso and touched up the chestplate and dry-brushed the arms a bit (cn't make it out too well in the pictures though). Here is the finished product -
Bounty Hunter Torpas P'hil, one of the most dangerous Salamandro Bounty Hunters to ever work for Jabba the Hutt.
OK, so a "dangerous" Salamandro is like saying a "dangerous" bunny rabbit. As Phruby guessed, I was shooting for a bit of "Marvel" for my inspiration - one of those classic Marvel Bounty Hunters that probably any of us could escape from!
This guy found his way into Jabba's employ when Jabba helped his tribe "acquire" some medical supplies they needed. To pay for the supplies, the tribe sold Torpas to Jabba. Jabba was a bit concerned as to what to do with Torpas here, until he discoverd Torpas' ability to "see" where others couldn't.
For instance, he had an uncanny ability to "see" where prey was likely hiding, even in the most crowded cities.. Maybe it was the force, maybe just keen eyesight with those big eyes. Jabba often sent Torpas along with the "real" bounty hunters when a particularily nasty mark goes off the grid.
So, there's the story on my Bounty Hunter. On to next month!
