This time around, I thought it would be cool to feature some custom art from some female Star Wars artists for a change. Contrary to the stereotype, Star Wars customizing is not just practiced by nerdy, awkward men working diligently in their man caves. There is also a thriving contingent of female fans hard at work producing some extremely noteworthy additions to the customizing community as well. While their creations may contain the standard 3.75" or 6" action figure creation, some of their work stretches outside the usual parameters we are all used to seeing in my column.
For a few years now, I have been featuring the work of these artists on my blog on our "Customs for the Fangirls" page, but I thought it was about time I opened up their work to a much larger audience by displaying a sample of some of the art I feature there. These are just a few of the artists whose work can be found there.
First up is Jedi Ash Designs run by Ashley M. Kalfas from Colorado Springs, Colorado. She makes some really unique Star Wars poseable dolls inspired by the Monster High line that are just extraordinary. Her work is so eye catching I strongly considered running over to her Etsy store to pick up one of her figures to add to our home collection.
Her work can also be found at these links:
The next artist on display I discovered on Instagram. I saw a one-of-a-kind handmade "Youngling Ahsoka Tano" doll that was made by missupsetter that I wish was available for purchase. I would have bought it on the spot. She details the build process she went through and documents the countless hours she invested into creating this beautiful piece. This is something I wish we could see mass produced one day.
Our last artist is well known in the Star Wars super fan community. For the longest time now, we thought that we were only one of two individuals who owned a Sabine Tie Fighter from the Star Wars Rebels television series. That is until we saw the newly painted Tie Fighter created by The Dorky Diva, Savanna Kiefer who created her stellar creation as a gift.
We're always on the hunt for more female customizers so if you have some work that you'd like to share feel free to send it my way. My email can be located in the sidebar of the blog.
