Helix, those are fantastic. I especially like the glass effect in the first image, which is my favourite of the bunch. That said, they are all really imaginative.

Excellent post!

Great Concept Art!  I really like it, and can't wait to see more!

Post by: spudafett on March 31, 2010, 10:03:29 PM
I love it.  I miss doing sketches and concept art.  I have a huge portfolio of stuff I did years ago.  Mainly copying the style that was in the original "guide to vehicles and vessels" book.  Loved that book! 
Anymore though I find myself just sitting down and making my concepts based on what I already have in plastic, or trying unsuccesfully to scratch build what I want...

I'd love to see some more of this kind of stuff, I especially like the speeder bike, because I think it actually has custom potential....

Sweet renderings, Helix! I love em both. I had considered a flip visor helm before but never tried it. That speeder looks cool.

Cool concepts Helix! I really like that mando bucket! Can we expect to see these come to life?

absolutly a flip visor mando is in the works using parts from bespin luke, the new boba fett and other peices as well.
btw,have you ever seen a flip visor mando done before?
Title: Re: Helix88's Concept Art
Post by: Tamer on September 02, 2010, 05:02:28 PM
Can't wait to see some physical updates of this! I remember seeing the flip up vizor on some At-At drivers that looked cool. I know it would rock on a Mando. On the front page.

really, how did you get the visor mounted to the mando helmet?
Title: Re: Helix88's Concept Art
Post by: jenki87 on September 02, 2010, 08:26:22 PM
maybe you can ink them before u colour it, then scan in and use photoshop to colour it, that way u can change the paint job easily!

Yeah, I would love to see a pic of that. Is it in your custom thread?
Title: Re: Helix88's Concept Art
Post by: spudafett on September 03, 2010, 05:39:50 AM
helix if your using a flip up visor from the clone trooper I'd use a couple short flat pinheads inserted and glued into the mando helmet to secure it and allow movability...

I don't remember ever seeing this added to a mando bucket in figure form but I know I've seen costumes with the concept implimented, just don't remember where.

I messed with this idea a little bit a while back when i was doing more mando customs.  But I was trying it out on a non-removable boba head/helmet because it'd have more area to secure the pins for the visor to attach to.

Well I have been seeing amazing customs for years here. I haven't seen a Mando bucket with a vizor yet. I could be wrong, but I would think that is something I would remember.

I went back and checked your customs thread as I hadn't seen this either, sure enough He had made one guys:

I took that from his thread.
looks like he did what I would have done and used the devriss helmet visor.

Hmmm....deosn't look too shabby either! I need to go back and see if there is a vizor up pick.

I would love to see this done on an AT-AT Driver helmet.

Clint and I contemplated it once, but thought it wouldn't match up very well and then someone posted a squad (was it Psyclone?) with a vizored one and it just rocked.

This artwork is awesome and on the front page.

Do all of your custom figures start out as artwork like this? I sure hope so and that you share more.

for the most part they just come to me as im building but there have been a few that started out as art first but latly that has started to turn to the opposite, i'll sit and try to rough out an idea and it will go through a few differrent incarnations before it gets there, even then i will make tweaks on the figure as it comes together though, i've got a bit more art but its pretty sketchy compared to the semi finished stuff that i've put up here. all the same i'll get some more up over the next days.
