Yes! We're so close now!!!

So close we are already there.

[CHEWIE]

Yep, here's the link to the photonovel section -

I actually wouldn't be surprised if some customizing lurkers didn't know about that section.

 

[CHEWIE]

Well, it's off to bed.  But here's two different customs I made tonight.  I used the Darth Sidious robes for both of these and put them on "Prisoner Palpatine" body, then replaced the hands and heads - a little paint here and there and some slightly different outfits for our beloved Lord of the Sith.



 

[Ryan]

Damn. He is one ugly SOB! Great figures Chewie. I take it these are for the Rykrof Series.

[CHEWIE]

Yep, another for the Rykrof series.  I really like how this one turned out.  Here's demonic Palpatine with a hood on.



 

[Gregorbian]

Those Palpatines are looking good!  (or bad  ).  Your paint job is much better than hasbro's, great work!
I wish you lived in NJ so I could check these out in person, I think the flash washed out some of the details.  Still, looking great even with the flash! 

[CHEWIE]

Thanks Gregorbian.  Yeah, I think the flash does wash out some of the details, but hopefully not enough to not show the details.

This demonic Palpatine has turned out to be one of my favorites.

 

[CHEWIE]

Ok, another update.  Ki Adi Mundi is my favorite Jedi, so I thought it was time for  a new set of duds for him for certain battlefields.



He'll be sporting these Jedi clothes soon in the Rykrof Enloe series.

Wow, awesome pic!  I love that lighting!  Did you do that in photoshop or did you have some sort of blue light source?  Either way it looks really friggin' cool! 

I like the pith (?) helmet, where'd you get that?  It's a cool inclusion, and even though he has a really tall head (and therefore the helmet would be seemingly pointless), I love the inclusion of it.  It fits his character really well, although I can't quite place why. 
Nice job on dirtying him up a bit, he looks pretty battle-worn. 

[CHEWIE]

Thanks Greg.  The light was just a little playing around with Picture It program.  I'll include another pic with the light more normal too -



Basically, the reason I gave him that helmet was to give him a different look.  I think that I saw a comic once where he had some sort of helmet like this, and I kind liked it.

 

[Famine]

Why aren't his pants drybrushed or dirtied up like his other threads?

I really dig the outfit and helmet, though.

Kind of reminds me of a safari Jedi in an environment like an African jungle with wild beasts all over the place.

Actually it looks like he'd be hiding out in the woods next to that lake that the rancor is stalking through in your latest photonovel.  That shot was awesome.

[Ryan]

Very nice Work CHEWIE! I really like the outfit, and the helmet, this is a great match for him.

I think the boots would look better if they were a darker brown, close to the color of the belt. That's just me though.

[CHEWIE]

Looks like some people like the helmet, some don't.  I personally do for some reason.  It's that odd look that doesn't always make sense in Star Wars that I sometimes really like.

Anyways, here's a crap figure that I made.  I'm not feeling very well, and didn't realize how poorly I had painted it until I took pics.  So, I'll probably do some major touch ups on it.  It's supposed to be a Separatist leader.

I'm thinking the blue stripes on the front would look better if they were black.
