That is a great mix of parts.
He looks like an imperial intelligence agent.

Thank you all! ;D

I did these two customs a few days ago when I had some time to myself, which is a rare thing. Thanks to Yak_Chewie over on Yakface for the one's torso!

Seeing more alien variety is always good! I really like the torso of the Quarren! It looks brilliant!
I like both of them! Awesome ideas here! The torso looks so realistic, I would almost add some weathering to the Quarren's headsculpt.

Thank you both!!!

Agreed about weathering the Quarren. I actually have an idea for something to do with the Quarren's head, but I'm not sure it will work. I'm going to try and practice on a junk figure soon...Only time will tell if this *secret* method will be a success or not.  :P ;)

I really like the look of these two figures - the Quarren head really works well on the Villie body - great eye! The Aqualish looks like he should be some low level bureaucrat :) Anyway, great job.

Two great new characters for the SW universe.
Both figures are phenomenal.

Thank you both, but sorry I missed your comments though!

One thing I have thought about for a while is making a custom of myself in the Star Wars universe. Right now, I’m still in the planning stage, so I'm not for certain what the exact costume theme will be, but I was leaning toward an adventurer type. I have a few ideas for the head, but right now I’m thinking about the Luke from the Rebel Alliance commando comic pack. I’m sure anything I chose will need the facial hair added. A few other people have recommended some ideas, like Will Turner from Pirates of the Caribbean.

Any other ideas? 

And for reference...

There's a company that you can send your picture to, and they'll basically make a photoreal head for you. I remember Goldleaderone did that for a pilot custom. It was pretty rad.

Hmmm....

You might want to try a Kyle Katarn head. Looks close.

I am always partial to armored types or Sith. It will be interesting to see what you choose.

I Googles it, and believe I found it! I may have to do that!!! It would (surely) be the most accurate and efficient way to capture my likeness.

Tamer, I’ll have to look and see if I have a Katarn head in my fodder box. That’s a good option!! And I agree. I think I’ll do a few figures,, so maybe I’ll have a few body options!

So it has taken me a while (thanks to everything going on in my life), but I finally finished my selfie figure! Just like every normal person, there are a few outfits and variations that the figure can go through. I modeled the figure's costume changes after what I would wear normally, which is usually a shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a vest, or a jacket. To be honest, this really make me want to be back in the photonovel scene. It makes me quite sad to see it's been years since I was able to post one. Also, I came up with a stupid little backstory to mirror my own life as well. Enjoy:

"Zak Eehon graduated at the top of his class from the University of Agamar, where he majored in xenoarchaeology. Later, he also earned two degrees in alien communication from the University of Coruscant. After a few short years of instructing classes at the same institution, Zak decided to venture out into the field and explore the galaxy, where he put his academic expertise into practice. Though he made his way through various systems, eventually reaching the Outer Rim, he knew true adventure lay in the unknown regions..."

The most casual outfit:

Traveling with Jabba the Hutt in the Outer Rim before heading into the Unknown Regions...



Drive it like you stole it...

Wow, what a cool project! Sorry for my late reply...You created quite a handsome figure there - just like the original model. I also like the pictures of all the different settings! Looks like your character has gone through some awesome adventures! You look great aboard the Barge by the way!
And I'm glad you already got your new Desert Skiff (isn't it plain fantastic?)!
I think choosing the long hair version of yourself was a good choice! It is more unique and stands out more. And it's just extremely good looking being so recocgnizable. I think I had already commented on making a choice back in the days, but I guess my comment got lost on transfer in the web...
I like all the different outfits, too! Maybe I find a suitable head for my portrait some day as well or will make a 3D print. Making an action figure of yourself is actually a brilliant idea!
Not many people have themselves standing right between their collection. Cool stuff, indeed!

Thanks for sharing and have a hell of fun with your excellently done project!
This certainly brings a lot of fun to us on here! Best regards from Germany!
