Brent Gothold aka YakFace just graduated from film school (F.I.R.S.T Institute of Recording Sound and Technology) and has been working as a freelance FX artist specializing in building miniatures. He was living and working in Los Angeles, but moved to Florida 8 months ago and just started work for Universal Studios Orlando doing FX makeup for Halloween Horror Nights. He has a new website that features the professional work that he's been doing for the film industry. His career goal is to open up his own FX studio that will be a full service FX company that blends traditional FX techniques like scale models, practical makeup, and props with cutting edge computer graphics. He's currently learning as much as he can about the traditional techniques and plans to advance his skills with CGI over the next year.

He posted his first custom Star Wars diorama of the Sarlaac Pit at age 15 and is currently posting custom figures over at the Imperial Shipyards. Brent mostly creates characters from the original Star Wars trilogy but is working on making some original characters that will fit nicely among the characters from a galaxy far far away. YakFace is a talented sculptor and painter who transforms "toys" into art pieces.

YakFace Added to "Customs I Wish I Owned"

Well, as you know, we are always on the hunt to find you a new customizer every month. Well, being it's Halloween, we figured we'd give you all a treat and show you the customizer for November one day early. So here is some Star Wars eye candy that is so big that you won't fit in that bag you carried along on your door to door shuffle. We'll leave the "tricks" to YakFace, the latest customizer being featured here on our blog. If you see the customs he has created you'll see that he has plenty of them up his sleeve when it comes to paintwork and action figure creation. We'll even cap things off with a detailed view of the menacing monster shown above that Star Wars customizer YakFace created when he was only 15 years old!
