Jedi Aayla Secura, Jedi Sian Jeisel and Mika, a farghul bounty hunter
The female form is definately the most difficult to sculpt - you have to find a balance for everything...proportion is the key. Legs can be too long, breasts can be too big (wa wa wi wa!) or the body can resemble that of a "thin man" than that of a full figured woman. I'm still learning and I feel I've gained much knowledge since my first female custom - I use to avoid working on female forms...not anymore! :)

Next, the Dark Times.....
Dass Jennir and h2 from Star Wars Dark Times comic
Once I saw the cover to Dark Times Issue 13 (seen above) with Jennir riding into port looking mysterious and determined, I was inspired....and sometimes an image is all that is needed to get me moving on my next custom....above you see some early WIP stages of these characters...below are more recent images of their progress....
H2's torso was created using a clear top from the cap of salon spray for the base, then sculpting an attaching details where needed. The front plate isn't sculpted, but is a dremeld down piece from the many "Build-A-Droid" parts I have laying around, then heated so that it would fit the smaller curved surface of the torso H2 possesses The body's diameter had to be smaller than that of a usuall astromech droid..plus the insides are hollow which makes the sculpt lighter and gives the ability to create the working navigational fins and allows for a connection to a clear acrylic stand so that H2 may appear to be hovering about.
