I want to get started on making aliens, or so I thought. Trying to find inspiration or get some ideas, for some reason my brain was blank.
Let me start over. I recently got Rocket GotG Vol2. Got Groot. My sister got me Starlord GotG (the first one). I missed out on Yondu, But Pre-ordered Gamora and Stan Lee. We're re-designing, building, shuffling, and Feng Shui-ing furniture so displaying has to wait. Not really digging Drax, so I'll might make my own.
Then I said to myself, "Self, why don't you make alien species to go along with your Star Wars and GotG figures!"
I binged watched the animated GotG to get ideas... .....meh. The characters I liked were Cosmo, Phyla-Vell, Titus, Wraith, Ja Kyee, Angela, the Collector, I would mention Victoria, but I'll wait for Hot Toys Valkyrie
Look.At.Her.
Anyway, I tried to look at concept art and alien art school drawings, I got nothing. I checked out the strategy game, Infinity the Game. I liked some ideas.
I did go to Galaxy's Edge and took a break from organizing. What an Experience! It is as if I walked onto a movie set. As a kid in the 80s and 90s, I love Disneyland, Marvel, and Star Wars. Then, I began to think why I liked GotG
Then I realized, most of what Quill had, I had as a kid in the 80s! Sure, they were hand-me-downs from an older sibling and cousins, but I still loved it all. I had electronic football. I had Skeletor. My 2nd favorite author was Shel Silverstein , 1st was Maurice Sendak
So I thought instead of looking for and studying several unfamiliar character designs, I went back to Memory Lane to dig up what I like and thought, What if I take a thing that I liked in the 80s and change it into something that would fit in both the GotG and Star Wars universe
My brain exploded with such technicolor thoughts!
So I'm going to make characters that I liked as a kid and revamp and update them into a quasi-mish-mash character to blend into the Star Wars and GotG universe. I'll probably make 3 or 6 characters, but after this, it will probably be my final kitbash project.
Can you guess some of the characters I had in mind?
