Here's something I've been wanting to do for a while now.  Came across a website that allows you to create your own trading card game.  I'm not a big gamer of any kind, be it video or trading cards.  I do find them fascinating for inspiration and presentation.  I used one of my most current favorite customs, Ghette Nisan.  Let me know what you all think.

Here's a quick custom I did that I've been wanting to do for some time.  This is just one more in a big group of Old Republic characters I'm working on.

Shistavanen Jedi Knight, Phrik Sil, was a Jedi of the Old Republic about 200 years after the Cold War.

Thank You.  I would like to see more of this race, not just as Jedi but other types of characters.

Well, it's been awhile.  Work and family...never saying they are in the way but it does mean keeping up with anything else is harder.  Our daughter is now 1 year old and it's been amazing.  The Force is definitely with her as her motor skills and all even impresses her doctor.  Anyway, I finally have some customs done that I"ve been working on for weeks (more like minutes and hours spread over several weeks).  Here goes.  All three are from about 3500 BBY.

Briinsee was the first Iktotchi to join the Jedi Order.  Soon after his homeworld was discovered, he and a few others between infant and pre-adolescents were sent to Coruscant to learn the ways of the Force. Briinsee "Bry" was one of the older younglings and although the Order doesn't normally recruit so old, he had been educated at a special holy temple whose teachings of pacifism and meditation prepared him for the Order.  He became a Jedi Knight along with some of his fellow Iktotchi.  He had a natural leadership and was given many assignments leading up to several other Jedi.

Gresh Nerin was an ex-Corellian soldier/pilot that served with distinction and earned himself Corellian Bloodstripes.  At the end of his 4th tour with special forces, Nerin decided to enter fighter pilot training.  His instincts and calmness in battle earned him a quick promotion to squad leader.  Tired of fighting, he submitted his discharge papers, took his savings and bought a freighter.  As a freighter jocky, Nerin learned to enjoy life as a business man and was satisfied when the customer was satisfied.  Of course, life took an interesting turn when he decided to take on passengers that were Jedi led by the Iktothi, Briinsee.

Often usually taking bounties that were somewhat morally acceptable, Serynne Tehal was able to do more than stay afloat.  Her network of clients and associates kept her busy with bounties that kept to her Alderaanian upbringing.  No one knows why she entered the bounty hunting business but she always delivered and that's what mattered.  Her latest job was to find a certain ex-Corellian soldier and deliver him to a cantina to meet a teenager.  That's all.

I agree with you: real life takes alot out of those of us in this hobby.  Glad to hear things are going well for your family and that you're back in the 'game'!

All three look great, especially the Iktotchi Jedi.  The paints you used look regal, very much how I would picture a Jedi of this era.  The Red Faction figures really lend themselves well to great customs, don't they?  I've got these same figs, but they're still sitting on a shelf waiting for some inspiration on what I'd like to do with them.  Yours do look great!


Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!

Thanks.  I wish I had gotten more of the Red Faction figures but I only got one of each except one.  I've used the head of one for a TOR custom and I've got one more fig to use for a Sith-thing I think.
