SWTOR Customizing Tribute Roundup Report

As many of our readers sadly remember, the Star Wars fan community lost one of its most spirited customizers last July, Mike Martinez, known around the forums as Mercuryartstudios.

In his honor, three fan sites came together to realize a customizing contest that he had been working on, and the participation was amazing.  We would like to thank the customizing community for such a strong showing in this multi-site customizing tribute to our friend that we miss so much.  The theme was anything related to SWTOR, and entries could be fan fiction, etc. but did need to include three figures.  It was basically a “loose interpretation” of an Evolutions theme from SWTOR.

The event has now come to a close, and we have a Roundup Report showing off all 60 customs made for this, as well, as some random winners, and a grand prize winner who is walking away with a very cool Star Wars collectible.

Check out the Roundup Report, and enjoy all the cool customs by clicking on the image above!

Yakfinities # 44 Continues

The latest Yakfinities Customizing Challenge continues, and with a theme that we haven’t tackled before, there’s some very interesting concepts being shown off in the forums. 

And with the lull in new product these days, there’s never been a better time to roll up your sleeves and add some new figures to your collection in a different way – by creating your own figures!  So check out some really cool customs or submit your own after the jump!

Yakfinities #44 – Cloud City Denizens

Another new Customizing Challenge has just launched in the forums, and runs all the way through the end of June!

This gives customizers three months to create a custom for the latest theme, Cloud City Denizens… all you have to do is make a custom of a character that lives on Cloud City, or  simply a traveler passing through — established or completely fan-fiction — it’s up to you!

So, whether you’re a seasoned veteran customizer or new to this great part of the hobby, join in the fun after the jump!
