I agree. However, I am usually hitting the creative wall because I see how good someone else's work is and feel mine are not quite as good.

SO apparently spending money (that I didn't have) on new episode one movie figures was what I needed to push my creativity back towards figure customs...

So, while taking a break on the concept boba fett helmet, I've gotten one figure finished and a couple others in progress.


a New super articulated Aurra Sing based on the movie version is the newest finished figure:







as you can see this version turned out much better than my attempt at super articulating the clone wars version....   but I still like the clone wars version.  It has it's merits...


And a current WIP:

The "sharpshooter droideka"





Not sure that the droid is coming together like I'd want.  I can't figure out a good way to articulate the sheild.  In the toon, and the blueprints, the shield rotates down over the head and gun, then a door slides open for the head and gun to poke out of...   I doubt I can make it that complicated.  In this prototype version I've used some General Grevious arms as articulation points and made two seperate halves to the shield with a pre-cut door.  This allows the shield to swing out, then rotate around, bypassing the gun and head...   it works... I just don't like the way it looks. 

After a few nights of sleeping on it I'll return to this project and figure something out...

Mrs, Sing looks amazing! I have her swoop bike and may have to give mine the same treatment if she doesn't sit on it properly. Very well done Devin!

Sweet! I actually thought the taller one was the Hasbro figure until I saw the thigh screws :)

update on the sharpshooter project:






as you can see the sniper rifle barrel retracts into the larger part in the chest of the droid, this allows the sheild to rotate up over the gun and behind the droid.

The side shields also flip back on articulated points.

Romantically Apocalyptic, http://alexiuss.deviantart.com/ , is holding another contest... this time to create your own original character to fit into the post apocalyptic world of the comic.

My character was created in action figure form (of course)...

her name is blondie:

Not that I can prove it lately, I've found that sometimes I can take a break from the hobby and return with a strangely improved skillset which is certainly what we are witnessing here with your work, Devon. Your latest works show more polish and thought to detail than your older stuff, if that were possible. You are a borne custom builder, my friend.
