The latest Yakfinities Customizing Challenge continues – Cantina Denizens!
Entries have been piling in, but there’s still plenty of time to submit a custom of your own Cantina character (fan fiction or canon) – just make sure to get those entries in by the March 31 deadline!
We kick this Monday off on a bit of a positive note – some more creative energy from our forum members through some fan-fiction photonovels!
First off, hangarbay has released another chapter in his ongoing X-Wing Alliance series, which includes a tense battle with Imperial Stormtroopers aboard a Star Destroyer – check it out here.
Need some more OT goodness? Form member jlw515 has also posted a new chapter in his Vader’s Quest series, which entails the perspective of the Galactic Civil War from all angles – including hotshot Rebel pilots. Click here for this latest update.
Last but not least, Darth Depressis has wrapped up two more chapters in his post-ROTJ series, where the Clone Emperor is determined to regain control of the galaxy – check out his lastest installments, Defenders of the Dark Empire Part One and Part Two.
We would like to remind all the customizers out there of a tribute we are running in honor of a good Yakface friend who passed away last summer – a multi-site customizing event that was in the works by a collector know around the forums as MercuryArtStudios. We were shocked and saddened last summer when he tragically lost his life in a car accident.
Mike Martinez left behind a great following in the customizing community and touched a lot of people. In his memory, we wanted to see through an Evolution style themed customizing contest that he had been planning – so we have teamed up with two other sites he was active at to make this happen. We are proud to work with the great folks at Echo Base News and Imperial Shipyards to host this customizing event.
To help encourage participation, we’ve also gathered a great pool of prizes – for more information and rules of entry, click here!
