The blow knocked all air out of him as he was spun around and swirled down. He just about managed to get his arms up in protection as he crash-landed on the deck, hard. Enraged, he struggled back to his feet and faced his opponent, breathing rabidly. For a Mandalorian, a bolo-ball match, even a training session, was war. Ayden Stone danced around a little on the spot, like a boxer skipping to warm up, and glanced over the shoulder at his Noghri teammate.

Ronan let his gaze drift through the cramped apartment. Sareth and Macos were dozing on the cold duracrete floor, while Ara was struggling to stay awake in a massive, uncomfortable-looking armchair by a long bed. Gladus was lying on it, no longer unconscious but in deep slumber.

Shortly after they had reached the safe house—or safe apartment—which Rios had procured for them, the old blademaster had regained consciousness. But even though Graven's antivenin had worked, Gladus was in awful shape.

Altair Jiriad - Micro Hero WIPby ~CorranFett

Customization / Digital Dolls / Pixel Art / Adopted Base

Ta-daaa! Here is Mandalorian commando Altair Jiriad in his glorious vongyc beskar'gam. That's right, he forged himself a set of Mandalorian armor to resemble that of a Yuuzhan Vong - you know, those spiked armors that are actually living Vonduun crabs? Whenever a Vong sees Jiriad in this armor, he's likely to boil up in rage because of this "heresy" - remember the Yuuzhan Vong Hunter Droids? Same idea.^^

There are still a few things unfinished, but this is basically how he looks like. Mostly created from scratch, took some official images of Yuuzhan Vong and Darth Krayt as reference here, and tried to combine it with a Mando look. The custom helmet design is inspired by the awesome supercommando helmet Marrow Sun on TheDentedHelmet.com created, the same helmet that is used by Novall Talon in MandoMercs. I chose this design because it looks a little skull-like, which helps the whole concept of Vong imitation.

One small detail, which can't really be noticed in this scale, is that his chest diamond (the middle piece of the breastplates) is too small and white, unlike the rest of the armor. That's because Jiriad replaced his diamond with that of his deceased son, Skira, as a constant memory. Also, some parts are supposed to be pure metal, not textured with that crusty surface to resemble the Vonduun crab shells, that really stand out from the armor imitation and make any Vong go mad.

For the hair I edited a template of dreadlocks, made them a little shorter. Also, I added Jiriad's black Kiffar tattoos, but especially the star-like pattern around his right eye doesn't come off that well on this scale. Also, in the helmeted version, his hair is braided and looks out of the helmet, and I even added the hair from some Vong scalps.
