Yay! I have finally finished both the Jedi Zabrak and Satele Shan! (SATELE NOW IN THE NEXT POST)
Just for fun, I'm doing a 2 day reveal, so for today, here's Jedi Battlemaster Kao Cen Darach (Satele's 1st master), but there's also a little teaser of Satele in here as well.
WIP pics are on pg. 17

I'm sure we all remember him from the SWTOR trailers:







Satele throws her lightsaber to Master Kao

Master Kao faces off against none other than Darth Malgus

...aaanddd here's Satele Shan! I know some of you have been waiting for this, and she's finally done!
Let me know what you think please!

Jedi Grandmaster Satele Shan
WIP pics on page 17
Here's some notes on how she was made:
- Soft goods tunic
- Custom-made belt according to pics
- Soft goods boot straps
- Hard-sculpted hair via knife (cutting off excess hair to match pics, etc) with attached braids
- Smoothed chin via sandpaper
- Shaved joints to lessen paint-flaking








Scenes from the trailer:
Satele about to Force-blast the Sith and save Colonel Jace Malcom

Satele leading Republic troopers

Satele faces off against Darth Malgus

This one's just for you Tamer

That's a great looking Satele, CT. Paint apps look spot on and the use of softgoods worked out really well. The Scarlett figure is a great base figure for any female character.

Master Darach is a great effort, but judging from the pics, I feel it's a bit of a diamant in the rough. Have you thought about using a Maul head instead and sculpt the armour?

I've seen your Ven Zallow, and I can see why you think that Kao is a little "rough on the edges" haha, though I probably should lower the resolution on the camera. In person it's not as rough.
The thing is though, I like to work with what I have, and pretty much, most of my customs (Satele included) are all made from materials I already have on-hand (else this becomes a VERY expensive hobby). I also have
little to no experience with sculpting from clay or sculpey :\ And I did think about Maul's head, but I feel his facial structure doesn't really fit with what I wanted to do, not to mention those pitifully dull horns by Hasbro hahah.

BUT I really appreciate you taking the time out to give me some constructive criticism. It really means alot! Thanks again!

I really am enjoying your Satele! Love seeing her taking on Malgus. Off to share.

That is just beautiful. I would love to know your technique for painting eyes! Outstanding!!!!!!

Thanks, DaBooma! Those eyes really were a pain in the butt to get right! I used to use a needle dipped in black paint to paint the lashes and a dot of paint for the pupil, but now I just use paint pens (i.e. Gundam marker) to draw it out. The result is much cleaner and more crisp.

Thanks, Tamer! I now have her proudly displayed with all my TOR figures, custom or otherwise!
