Hi, everybody! I am happy to be able to participate in this contest... I didn't finish my last attempt, and dropped out. So I am determined to finish this! 
I guess I am one of those rare people who is naturally gifted, because I can pick up anything and make something awesome with it. The problem with me is execution, because I have difficulty finishing things. I seem to always get bored or discouraged and move on to something else... I have been working on this problem, though, and feel confident I can execute this challenge. I decided to sculpt a Star Wars Character from the expanded universe my wife is planning to create for a character costume for the Rebel Legion. So, I would like to introduce you to Rachi Sitra, a jedi Twi' lek, female:
1/6 scale wouldn't do her any justice and 1/3 scale may be a little much for me for this contest, so I am settled on 1/4 scale. I will be using a wire armature and aluminum foil for the base structure, and then I have about ten pounds of monster clay laying around I can put to good use on the base and figure. (I don't think I will run out of clay on this) So first and foremost I will spend the next few days designing the base and pose, and then I'll get started on the rough-out, and then the details. I am not sure about her saber, because every reference I find has a different hilt, but I like the one on the left. It seems to fit her personality better. (I would like to know what you think, though, cause I will be sculpting a full-size one latter down the road to cast in aluminum for my wife's costume.) So, there it is! I have some other projects I need to work on as well as this, so I can't promise a lot of updates, but I will post as often as I can. Any input you feel like offering will be well received. I am actually going to cast this one and paint it when it's finished, as a gift for my wife...
Thanks for looking!
