Practically every kitbash requires some manner of Photoshop work to make it look right, but the amount of original texturing varies from model to model. For example, in those last two previews the Balmorran War Droid only required some colour-shifting on the clone trooper accessories I added to the main model, whereas something like a clone officer skin or a galactic senator usually requires something a little more involved. As for creating textures completely from scratch (such as for a Bith) - I've never done a total 'from blank page to fully-fledged texture' job before, mainly due to lack of hardware. The best results seem to always come from digital tablets these days. I might look into it. I imagine with some minor mesh work on the Ahsoka head used in my last preview and a retexture on the body (maybe with some additional adornments to match her Rebels appearance) one could get a close enough resemblance whilst still keeping to a more JKA-style look. Somewhere on my computer I have a random list of prospective minor characters to cobble together, and Sate Pestage and the other Imperial advisors are on there. No promises though.

Some new kitbashes I put together for the next issue of my comic:

I just need to find the time to fine-tune the weights on her montrals. At the moment there's still a few animations where they clip slightly.

I know you're keen to get work done, but modding is always going to play second fiddle to people's RL concerns.

It seems Gran hands are fairly inconsistent across the films anyway. In the PT they were portrayed with mostly humanoid hands as opposed to the spade-like clubs of the OT Grans:

God damn, this is one of my favourite threads on the Hub. Every time there's an update I end up grinning ear to ear seeing what you're achieving.

I meant the Dropbox link the post before yours, this one - https://www.dropbox.com/s/o8e2fcc8vo1iutz/TalesFromTheCloneWarsSeptember17.rar?dl=0

The link in the post before yours has the issues divided into folders and subfolders for volumes and issues respectively

Someone on Reddit asked for a ZIP containing all the issues so far. If anyone here is interested in the same, here you go: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o8e2fcc8vo1iutz/TalesFromTheCloneWarsSeptember17.rar?dl=0

Wow! That's amazing.

Since we've all made the jump to @@AshuraDX 's sweet clonetrooper model these days, I'll be including a back catalog of other clone skins for the old Neomarz model in the next mega pack. Like my first clone skin pack, these are all fan names and regiments.

I decided I could probably use something like this in my comic at some point, so I threw this together quickly. It should serve it's purpose if it's just a personal use skin. It's just a raw model folder though, so you'll have to set up any shaders/NPC files/bots etc yourself. There's also a gold-eyed variant as sometimes appeared in the Clone Wars TV show: Link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l7wdyyvbk2g19xv/MagnaGuardK.rar?dl=0

I'm not quite sure what the issue is - he has a link to the mod in his YouTube description, so it's not like he is claiming to have made it? Unless he says otherwise in the video itself, I admit I didn't watch it all.

Yeah, it's something I'm just dancing with at the moment. If I did do it, it would be after the current volume is finished rather than on an issue-by-issue basis. We'll see!

Additional news, once the current volume is finished I've been weighing up whether to try and release a dubbed remastered version of the comic, along the lines of this: Thoughts?

Good ol' classic Jedi green for me.

Luke (just like Anakin before him) has always had the greatest potential - potential that dwarfs what Windu or even Yoda ever achieved. The real question is whether he ever reached that potential or - like his father before him - did he fall short?

Preview for Volume Three - Issue 8 - Corporate Interests:

Outcast and Academy models have different skeletons, so I doubt it.

These won't be released on the Hub, but when they're done I'll throw them in a second 'Mega Pack' with a bunch of other WIPs. The Apprentice: The Loyal Captain: Built upon @@Cerez 's Ahsoka Tano model and the MB2 team's Captain Panaka respectively.

Really nice work on the Old Wounds video!

Maybe I've just stared at it too long but I can't really see the derp myself.
