Beautiful technical, costuming, and digital work!  I’d love to see this character appear in canon!

honestly this has to be one of the most difficult thing to do. For there will always be a nerd somewhere to spot the inaccuracies and inconsistancies of a SW story xD
But yeah. It would probably be easier to chose an era without too many known characters.

Oh geez soooo true! LOL I guess I shouldn't mind so much and do it for fun since there will always be some sort of nitpicking loll

The concept is something along these lines:

Venn K'Tahlis, ex-Jedi Sentinel (in a sense ronin/rogue/"Grey") on the run, hunted by both sides, after discovering a conspiracy and a secret of an ancient sought after Force artifact that has the power to cause a Singularity event and threaten the entire universe and time itself...

I really like the idea of ronin from either side.  I feel like it speaks much more to our current reality, and isn’t that what good sci-fi should do?

OUTSTANDING pics, VT!

Having said that, the individual components of your pictures--the sabers, your costume ensemble, pic tableau--are AWESOME  :)

I've been a fan of the Sentinel/Apprentice line since I first came to Ultrasabers but I NEVER would have considered doing a saberstaff the likes of which you've done!  Wonderful, just wonderful, and your background story is amazing!

Like you, my own character is a Gray Jedi, from the Vhal'Dan Order; I have an extensive background narrative (far too long to list here) found--if you're interested  :)--in the Fan Fic section

Point!

Greetings VennTahlis,

Firstly, that is a really nice setup you have and I love the work you have put into the weathering and wraps (I like how the edges and corners are worn/chipped - much more realistic looking). I might have to consider getting an Apprentice V5 now and adding a longer pommel or coupler part (I liked the Sentinel but at 13.25 inches is a bit long for my style but the Apprentice looked a bit short at 10 inches - adding the extra part might solve that.)

Secondly you have crazy photo-editing skills.

points incoming for sharing!

Thank you! Yeah it's def a long one! which I love because I have a thing for true hand and half swords, katana and two handed technique, while I also go one hand sometimes, I love the versatility of the longer hilt and leverage, but it's def somewhat out of ordinary to have a longer hilt! The coupler pommel I use def adds a nice length to it - my mainhand sentinel saber is currently barely a bit below 14"
