1/18 Custom Invader Pics, several complete

[C130IM]

Retook pictures with some better lighting. Also included the back stories from the WIP thread for these customs.

These are alien commanders in my verse. It involves post global invasion of Earth by conglomerate of alien species under the flag of a central, prime alien race. Each behicle custom has its own story tied to this verse. Storyline has evolved in mind and paper over 20 years.

Fleet Premier, Zoav Vrackarru

Still need to paint this figure.

(Longest serving Premier in the expeditionary fleet. responsible for conquering numerous systems. His military successes expanded the borders, security, and resource allocation from new territories in the uncharted deep regions of space for their prime civilization. He commands the expeditionary fleet, strategy, and overall invasions. Maintains security until the larger invasion fleet and Planetary Premier take control of operations. This fleet is resupplied with troops, armor, supplies, and other resources.)

Hope these look better. More to come on the vehicle and Figure front.

Frikkin' sweeeet those look amazing!!! Outstanding work;)

[C130IM]

Thanks, Ponygt! Working hard on these but figures don't get as much a positive response (not good or bad still learning). Trying to figure out if it's the figure design, concepts, paint color? Comes to figures I'm still brushing up on different paint schemes, materials used, and just concepts.

Not that everyone will like what I do. But if it's something that I can learn from to improve my skills chime in because I'm still learning when comes to figures (especially paint schemes).

[sgcaper]

Very cool stuff.

[hotmitts]

They look great. Perhaps it would be nice to know more about the concepts- are these based on anything, or are they your own design? All I can say is from these photo's the choice of parts is nice, they work as overall figures, the only one that particularly looks custom is the green mutant,which I would prefer with a neater paint job, like the other figures.
Great stuff!

[whitefox360]

Theyre awesome, for sure, but youre never gonna get the response youre hoping for because theyre characters that dont have a pre-existing following here.

Repost the second as a modern iron grenader, the third as a new take on a zombie viper and the last as an update to the heat viper, sit back and await the incoming tsunami of praise.

I semi-guarantee you.
