Recently Dad was asked to do a
commission of a Clone Wars Chancellor Palpatine. Dad currently doesn't
take on any commissions, but Dad thought that maybe I was capable of
making the figure if I decided I wanted to give it a try. At the time I
backed out of the commission feeling way too intimidated, but I still
wanted to see if it was something I could do.
I
used the body from the "Attack of the Clones" Palpatine with head and
neck casts of the Clone Wars Darth Sidious without his hood on. Because
Dad had molded the head, I didn't have to be afraid of ruining it if my
sculpted hair didn't turn out well. If I messed up, I could just make
another.
Cool thing is, I
got it right on my first try and got this figure done in just 4 hours!
I'm
so glad that I just jumped right back into sculpting. Completing a
second sculpting project, less than a week from finishing my first
sculpt, really solidified my confidence in myself as a sculptor after
observing such successful results.

My custom Clone Wars Chancellor Palpatine was featured in Yakface.com's
"Customizer Mega Spotlight!" I was super excited. This was the biggest
honor I ever could have received as a customizer!
