Thanks, fellas!

Did some more work on Ven's armour. Mixed up a light shade of green, diluted that to a near wash consistancy and applied it to the armour. The pic doesn't really show it, but his armour now has a nice green metallic effect, without it being metallic green. Rachi is on hold, since I have to go out and buy some purple paint for her skin. Though it was blue. Colourblind, you know.

Awesome looking Ven! The sculpt and paint work is perfect! Can't wait to see him finished up.

Getting there. Been painting the facial features on both Ven and Rachi:




On the commissioner's request Ven's 5 o'clock shadow will be removed, so that he'll have a clean shaven look.

Nice highlights on Duke's (sorry, Ven's) face.  Not just the stubble.  I mean the bright and dark areas.  Rachi's looking good too.  You can tell by your line work that you have a fine steady hand.

Re: Mr. Black's customs: Ven Zallow v3
« Reply #414 on: January 19, 2014, 04:47:10 AM »
Back in 2010 I made a commissioned diorama of the duel between Darth Malgus and Jedi Master Ven Zallow. Later on, I was asked to make another Ven Zallow and last year again someone wanted me to make a custom figure of this character.

Version 3 is quite different from the first two. The client wanted quite a few changes, most notably on the armour. This is the reference pic:



And this is the custom figure:











Parts used:
- Resolute Duke: head, resculpted the hair
- ROC Duke in RIA suit: upper body, upper arms. Custom made chest belt, sculpted device
- ROC Ripcord in RIA suit: shoulder armour (connects with neo magnets), lower arms (sculpted gauntlets), hands
- 25th Destro Iron Grenadier: lower body, sculpted armour
- 25th Zartan: upper legs, sculpted armour
- Cobra Commander in Battle Armour: knees
- 25th Wraith: lower legs, feet
- Order 66 Mace Windu: cloak w/shortened sleeves
- lightsaber from the parts bin, blade and hilt connect with neo magnets

This is a follow up from the same client who commissioned the Twi'lek smuggler. Turned out to be a very fun project to work on, with quite a bit more sculpting than anticipated at first.

Rachi Sitra is a Twi'lek character from the SW Galaxies Trading Card game: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rachi_Sitra











Parts used:
- ROC Cover girl: head, sculpted lekku / arms, sculpted sleeves and gauntlets / lower body, sculpted waist band
- 25th. Scarlett: upper body, resculpted
- ROC Baroness: legs
- TAC Juno Eclipse: feet
- various pieces of Jedi softgoods
- lightsaber from the parts bin, blade and hilt connect with neo magnets

Remco, just outstanding work and expect both to be featured here, but I will start with Ven.

I think about the only thing that would make the face more realistic is real hair. Just fantastic. It is spot on with your reference image.

The armor just looks highly detailed. I can't imagine how long it took to get each piece of it correct. Wow. I also liked your interpretation putting the armored shoulder pads on top of the soft goods. That soft goods cloak really is nice fabric too and really complements the overall offering. I can't even imagine you creating a new Darth Malgus and doing a new dio. I loved your first one, but it would be epic. Thank you for sharing this with us. Off to share.

I will leave my comments or your great Twilek Jedi soon too.

This is the definitive version! Oh my you have knocked this Ven Zallow out of the park! Your other 2 were really nice, amazing how they keep getting better. The proportions are perfect, the paint work, soft goods, magnetic armor and saber hilt, such attention to detail that I could stare at for hours. Well done on both figures on all accounts but I LOVE this Ven! I tip my hat to you sir.
