Well I've been working my butt off on these figures. my inspirations came from (possibly the sexiest cyborg ever) Aphrodite IX for one of them, from Marvel's Hepzibah, and from 2 characters I co-created with a friend for a fan fiction we were writing. These are by far my most detailed and process intensive figures I've done yet. I am proud to say I utilized Spuda's Boil and Pop method for these and it was extremely helpful! I also used Yakface's recommendation to use an airbrush gloss medium with my white paint to help it dry smooth and less chunky/chalky. That also worked wonders! I finished my Cathar figure in under 7 hours from start to finish.
Check my Custom figure thread for more photos!
So without further ado I present Only the sexiest cyborg and Cathar team in the galaxy!
Vixxen Tang grew up in streets of Coruscant. Abandoned as a young girl she learned to pick-pocket to survive. She was taken under the wing of a wealthy woman who had amassed her riches by working as a con woman. Learning all she could as the woman's apprentice she eventually set out on her own pulling cons, stealing merchandise and selling it, smuggling goods to and from wealthy collectors and politicians. Often using her sex appeal and charms as well as her guile to get the better of her marks she soon bought a very reliable and fast ship with lots of cargo space. Against her better judgment she took a job that seemed to be too good to be true and payed a big price. Losing her left eye and the use of her right hand in a fighter-shuttle crash, she used her newly amassed wealth to replace them with cybernetics. Equipped with a newly implanted robotic forearm she had 4 atachments created to use in her dangerous line of work. A battle droid class grasping hand, a high powered cutting saw, an arc welder, and a heavy blaster cannon attachment bristling with all sorts of weapons. Her eye patch is outfitted with a multi spectrum optics system that allows her to see in ultra-violet, infrared, heat, and x-ray. Some days she feels the value of her new hardware, and others she hates being half machine. She also carries 2 DL-44 baslter pistols so she's never "unarmed".
Vixxen met her life mate and second in command in her smuggler crew, Myysha, a fellow smuggler and expert fighter both armed or unarmed, in a cantina on Cathar. Myysha, tho in some ways she passes for a Cathar, but is only half Cathar, her father was a Togorian, another race of feline humanoids. With lightning fast reflexes and extra honed senses Myysha is a natural body guard and strikes with the deadly silence of an assassin. She's also an excellent fighter pilot. Offering Myysha a job that she accepted immediately the two began a life long friendship. Armed with a plasma pulse rifle, a DL-44 blaster, a samurai sword, and her razor sharp claws and fangs, Myysha packs a sexy punch. She also carries a stun collar on her belt, and she wears a septum piercing in her nose--a cultural symbol some Cathar wear.
Currently Vixxen and Myysha have been buying the lightsabers Aurra Sing collects from slain Jedi and smuggling them back to the Jedi temple to give back to the council so that they can be recycled or given to the slain Jedi's pupils.
