I thought people would get a better idea of how to make the cardbacks if I broke it down in a series of tutorial videos. I made two today showing you how I made my naga sadow custom card back from start to finish. Each section is about 12-14 minutes long. The first part deals with image creation, the layers, printing, etc in an image editor. Then the physical mounting part.

Image Creation:

Mounting & Finishing Touches:

Awesome! Guess where you can see this video now?

I will get the second one up tomorrow. This is so cool. I love custom carded figures of customs.

Man I love the originality on some of these. What was the base figure that you used for Sidious in the "Vader and Sidious, modern day, the apt pupil" pic? On top of the usual Star Wars customs I'm also doing a side project of  figures of the cast from the Jurassic Park movies for my son and that body would be outstanding for the Lawyer and Mr Arnold (Samuel L Jackson's character) from the first movie.

You know what I had no idea because it was in a fodder lot I picked up. Turns out it's a Parker Selfridge avatar figure.

The shot of the "Big Three" (han, Luke, Leia) from EpVII is awesome.  I love the older version of Han: great choice on the Bom Vimdin legs and the twist you gave the holster is a great touch that sells a new look for the character without sacrificing his classic look.

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