"CLONE WARS: THE LOST MISSIONS - YODA's DARKSIDE" created by Customs for the Kid

On this one, Dad built out the body from the head, hands, biceps, and feet of a Clone Wars Yoda action figure. The body was from a LOTR Gollum action figure whose legs were modified like the Kylo Ren forearms that we used. I sculpted out a new open snarled up mouth and changed the sculpt of the eyes, chin, and top of Yoda's head. 

To create his vaporous appearance we used cotton balls that we dyed black, glued to the figure and then used maximum hold hairspray to style the cotton the way that we wanted it to rest on the figure. Once it achieved maximum hold, we painted the cotton in the places where it was needed. 

I was really happy with what we pulled off on this one.

The Clone Wars: The Lost Missions - "Yoda" Custom Action Figure created by ELIAS

Completing my first sculpted figure was a real milestone in my development as an artist. It made me feel like I was more a part of the customizing community now that I could participate in conversations about sculpting with some experience behind me. Prior to making this figure, I had only observed my dad sculpt action figures. Dad gave me this project feeling it would be a great introductory lesson on sculpting for me. Dad said that he first practiced his sculpting technique by creating hair on action figure heads before he attempted more advanced techniques.

To sculpt the hairstyle on the matured Yoda character model, I used Green Stuff. When my sculpt hardened and dried, a grey prime coat was applied to the sculpt and then black washes were used on the recesses while white paint was dry brushed to the raised areas of the sculpt.

The original Yoda character model pictured above was released by Hasbro as a toy.  The second Yoda character model is pictured below it and never was released as a toy.  I modified the action figure made by Hasbro to create Yoda as he was depicted in the later seasons of The Clone Wars TV series so I had both versions of the Jedi Master.
