Official Asajj Ventress Image Thread

That transition to the TT makes is look so BA!

So the spare head swelled up real big so that's good, I know it's working. Now yo just wait the 24hrs+ to see if it shrinks down to the size I want.

 

[MaulFan]

So which TT body did you use, chest seems too small to be the current released ones.

 

[dedguy]

The currently released one.

 

[MaulFan]

Wow, very impressive, as nude bodies, their chests seem to big to look right.

 

[dedguy]

It's actually smaller and more "natural" than the chest on the original body. It's not small or all that natural but the boobs on the SSC body where like missiles.

Head shrunk Asajj. The head shrunk about 10% which was exactly what I wanted. I put some photoshop faux paints on it to make for a better comparison. I plan on sanding off the sculpted on eyebrows. Shes a lot creepier and less human looking without them. I've toyed with doing eyebrows like on this drawing, which is one of my favorites I've seen of Asajj even if she does have irises (I prefer her without).

 

[dedguy]

Changed out the bodysuit to a Triad black bodysuit with white webbing for the wrapping (which I totally didn't think would work). I then weathered the "bandages" with very diluted black paint to give them that faded grey look instead of the bright white they where. Paint on the shrunken head is still fake Photoshop paint. Need to wait at least 7 days for the acetone to evaporate before attempting any paint.

Also took some pics of the original figure more or less unmodified. I have modified the body, but just for better articulation which shouldn't really affect this comparison.

Is she shorter at all body wise on the TT or is the shortness all in the head? And do the knees on the TT still feel wobbly like they used to? That's one reason I haven't bothered putting mine on a TT. I hate how loose the knees feel. I'd really like mine to be a bit shorter with a less bulbous head so I can pose her next to the Medi Maul, but she just looks too large next to him.

 

[dedguy]

The knees ain't great, but not terrible. The knees on my original Asajj body though are wobbly as all hell so that doesn't bother me so much. It's not a downgrade or anything. I have always had to keep Asajj on a stand.

The TT is shorter but not by that much, the stand the SSC body is on is about 1/4" taller.

 

[Alice]

I might look into doing some mods to my Asajj soon.

 

[dedguy]

The bodyswap is pretty easy. The hands fit pretty well on the HT pegs with no modification.

 

[Alice]

That's nice to know. I didn't even think to ask about the hands or anything. How did you go about swapping the boots over?

 

[dedguy]

Just pull them off and put them on the HT feet. The head is the most difficult to deal with. I carved out the socket from the HT head and put it inside of the SSC head.

 

[dedguy]

First steps in making a new skirt for Asajj. Made from two kinds of ribbon. The under skirt is one inch black velvet ribbon. The over skirt is half inch black cloth ribbon. The "belt" pictured there is just a piece of paper I colored black in photoshop so it's not too terribly distracting. Just trying to sort of pattern make at this point. The belt will likely be black leather, or at least that's what I'm thinking at the moment.

You can see the head is still unpainted, maybe get to that this weekend, maybe not. Still has a faint whiff of acetone to it and I don't want to spend hours painting it just for the paint to all peal off.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

The outfit is looking truly amazing, dedguy. Fantastic work!

 

[minivader]

Adam Hughes' is the best so far because he has the awesome original head he sculpted. I'm thinking about taking my second exclusive head and trying to shrink it in acetone.

How do you shrink heads in acetone? can you do a tutorial thread on the custom section?

 

[dedguy]

I just followed this guy's tutorial

Cool, thank you for posting that. There certainly are a lot of HS that are way too big. I think I might try this trick on some of them.

 

[dedguy]

Be aware, it only works on vinyl heads.
