Title: New group project??
Post by: Phrubruh on May 11, 2005, 04:02 PM
I think most of you remember the group projects we did last year over at RS. We did things like crossovers, handmadens, Biggs and Infinities Leia. I'm wondering if there is an interest in doing this exclusively here. I really don't want to start a new group project over at rebelscum due to the lack of creativity over there. I've been slow weening my way away from there.

If there is interest, what one character would you like to do? Maybe another Infinities character or alien or <gasp> clone trooper?  ;)

We're already doing a monthly customizing challenge here... but if everyone wants to add something else why not something else too?  We could maybe even combine the two.  Right now the figure we're "supposed to be" working on is a hottie female fan-fic character.  I did start on mine last night.

I think that it would be a good idea combining them... Personally, I really like doing fan-fiction stuff a lot - like a KOTOR era Sith, a KOTOR era Jedi, maybe a great KOTOR era bounty hunter... something in the KOTOR era sounds really cool to me for some reason...  But I am open to ideas. 

Maybe even something like the first king of Alderran?  Can you tell how much I like fan-fic stuff?   ;)

 :P

I only got to play KOTOR once, but I'm game for a EU Sith Custom.

I think the difference is we do one specific non-fan fic character. We then show work in progress shots and discuss how to make them better. You can't do that with a fan fic character since its your own imagination.

Ok, I'm game.  I have a hard time with work in progress shots though... most of my customs I start and have a hard time stopping before they are finished!  Usually my customs only take between 15-45 minutes.  But, I'll give this a shot.   :)

So what character?

I dunno... this is your idea!  You get to choose.   ;)

One request though... this one will feature some W.I.P. pics right?

But for the Monthly Customizing Challenge, it will just be the end product. 

 :P

That's right. I'll go thru my star wars encylopedia this weekend.

Hmmm. What about Jax? The green rabbit from the marvel comics.

Jax?  Hmmm I can't sculpt, so I would need to find a bunny figure.

Admiral Daala?

Another nice idea. 

How about... Thrawn?  Or Pellaeon?

 :P

I'd go with Thrawn. I was trying to come up with a female character with a large chest.

Thrawn sounds good to me... anyone else like that idea?

 :P

I like the Thrawn idea.... but for another GP, not this one. I want the ROTS Tarkin for that one!

What about Corran Horn?

Sure.  Let's do Thrawn first, then Corran Horn.  When are we starting this?

Remember, the submission for the Monthly Customizing Challenge deadline (fan-fic Star Wars sexy hottie is the end of May).

Thrawn is good. Can he be in his Boba Fett armor? Have you seen the latest issues of Empire. How about one of these Leias?

Sure, any version of Thrawn is cool with me.

Those Leias are both really cool.  The top outfit looks a little more Star Wars-ish... but she looks pretty sexy hot in the bottom one.

Count me in on Corran, he's my favorite EU character and he is actually the first custom I ever did, and I really need to redo him ::) ;). I like those Leias too, look at the size of them hoooters in the top picture. I'd like to do a Thrawn too but I am really short on cash/fodder so I may have to wait until I start get a paycheck in a few weeks. :(

Well, if it's cool, lets still plan on doing the Star Wars hottie for May, and then in June do Thrawn.

 :P

Ok. Thrawn in june. I still may do one of these Leias on my own.

What is the date that they should be shown?  Are we going to do "in progress" shots?
