Ok, I've literally been working on a decent LJ head for years now -- which is odd because I never really liked the character - she was a little too [LASER BLAST] in the comics and irritated the "LASER BLAST" out of me in the cartoons. Nonetheless, I've been trying forever to get a decent head for her. I modded a Bespin Leia a couple of years ago and it sucked. I used a Bombstrike head for a while, which never looked right, then I used the Comic Pack LJ, but I never liked that either. Then I got the 25A Jaye and figured I have to get rid of that damn hat! Well, today I managed to ruin a SW Dark Woman head and a Mara Jade head trying to get them to look right - no luck. Then, in a flash of well, let's just say brilliance
, I noticed that the Elizabeth Swan face would look good for Jaye. Of course, I didn't want to sculpt any hair, so I tried to transplant the Swan face onto the Dark Woman head -- no luck, since the DW hair was too big for Liz. Then I rummaged thru my fodder drawer and found a long-lost Bombstrike hairpiece! I went to work immediately trying to piece together the Liz head with the BS hair and this is what I came up with:
I think she looks rather [LASER BLAST], which really suits me fine
The hair does look a tad crooked - but that was a result of trying to get Liz's ear to line up right, and I think it has that tousled look of LJ anyway. And of course, since I already went against my better judgement by making an LJ in the first place (I was pretty happy when DDP killed her off), I went ahead and painted her to sorta match the cartoon version (and I hate the cartoon.) So a whole evening of compromising my principles to get this friggin' custom straight. Whew!Oh, and here she is with Flint right before Flint gives her the boot for being a pain in the ass
Cheers!
EDIT: Ok, the Scarlett head is lookin' too Anime for me. What do you think about Natalie Portman as Scarlett? (seems fitting since Keira Knightley is Lady Jaye
)
EDIT again
