Customizing: Chakotay is finished

[dieastra]

He's done! I feel very accomplished today. I think I have outdone myself, even if I say so myself. What do you think? Does that look like Chakotay or what? *beams*

I had quite a struggle trying to mix the right skin tone, it always came out too brown and dark. And don't ask me about the tattoo! The black pen I wanted to use for it had dried up but I did not fancy waiting another day and buy a new one... then I realized, the pens for labeling CDs are waterproof as well.

Thank you very much! I'm really happy how he came out. Lot of work but it's nice to see the end result. Although there is a point where you only want to be done LOL

People keep saying this but I don't know. It's the same like writing professional. I love writing fanfictions - when the muse hits me with an idea. But when you are a professional author, you need to write every day whether you feel like it or not, as you have a deadline. I could not do that.

Same for making figures. They are all one of a kind, I can't imagine doing the same thing several times. I also can't imagine giving them away after all this labour! And they would be very expensive, for all the time you put into it.

Check out this page, this guy does Stargate customs for a living and they look amazing. Also when we started to talk he said that it was I who inspired him all those many years ago with my posts on Gateworld! I found him when he did an Orville Ed and Kelly, but otherwise it's all Stargate. People tell him what they want and then he makes it. Just scroll down through all the pictures! There's Rodney McKay and Carson Beckett for example, or Sam in Air Force uniform and I loved especially Jack in his checkered shirt from the episode "2010".

Check out the Hathor one, Suanne Brown was very excited about it!
