Ventress has unique character in Clone Wars, but boi that SS figure does look bad, its nothing like her.
Awesome pic as always jedibear!
I just busted my Ventress out of temporary storage last night myself and was thinking how much I like this old figure too.
Would love to get an updated Ventress up to todays standards, but if that never happens, at least she can still hold up with the other villains.
Skirt's more or less done here. It's hard to tell but the underskirt is made from black velvet. The stuff just absorbs light. I want to do a little weathering on the skirt and belt, nothing overboard, just something subtle but am unsure of exactly what/how yet. The belt I also want to do some additional tweaking on, mostly on the leather straps that hang down and also wrap around the main leather girdle section.
I based the skirt and belt loosely on this original concept artwork:
I'm also planning on making some bracers from leather to replace the sideshow ones, I'd also like to replace the gorget but am unsure of what to do, maybe leather as well? Head is still unpainted but think it's finally dry. Will paint soon. Will be a fairly simple paint job with white skin, charcoal around the eyes (fixed with dull coat), black lips, and maybe some painting on the face like I mocked up above.

I love seeing this thread come back to life. It made me go back and find my favorite custom of her...
Dedguy did an awesome job with this one.
Nice pose. I still love this figure as old as it is and now have her locked in battle with the new HT Anakin and for me it actually works quite well.
Surprises me how strong the Anakin body is as I have one hand gripping a Battle Droid off the floor the other hand blocking Ventress double bladed attack. No way a SS armature would do that!
Splendid! Thanks a lot! Now I justo gotta get Grievous! ...or his blades at least My favorite img here https://homefurnitureadviser.com/best-bar-stools-buyers-guide/
Looks awesome! How did you shrink the head?
