So, I liked the lady in the Coruscant Night book series. We got a Jax Pavan but never really got her, much to my dismay. This is my first attempt at a custom that wasn't a pure repaint. So, hopefully, I won't get torn asunder by critique. Just remember 2 miniatures gave up their existence so that 1 could be made. I had some of the black from the pole by the Twi'lek Bodyguard so I tried to integrate that into a bandoleer, hence the black strap on the back. I want to go back and paint the pistols silver and add some silver to the bandoleer to give the appearance of clips.

It looks like Laranth. I really like it. My only suggestion is you might want to repaint the lower body so it looks more 'gray paladin' and less like the original Twi'lek Bodyguard. Well done, though.

Well, there is little to go on in the regards to their traditional garb of that force tradition. In the picture I used, there is a noticeable trench coat but only the sleeve. The downside of only having words describe the character. I don't have the puddy to do so and I haven't used that stuff before so I am unsure how craft an overcoat. I may go back and do some tinkering on the paint on the lower body. I did want to rotate the leg so that she was over more of the base.
Edit: Thank you for the compliment. I went back and painted some dark gray pants to make her more "gray." :)

Yeah, I am not skilled with green stuff so I had to use an Echani. Like I said, first run at a custom. No fancy stuff as of yet. I am also working on a Sev'rance Tann and may grow from there. Those meaty hands of the Echani (i know they are gauntlets and such but they are still huge hands) were just in the right direction at the time for transfer.

If I remember right, I used Ayy Vida's head and a Echani's body to make my Laranth; tought it came out quite nice with a repaint. I cheated when I made a Sev'rance and just repainted a Young Jedi Knight.

I grayed up her pants a bit. Going to get some green stuff and attempt to give her a trench coat feel but unsure of my skill with it in an action pose.
