Holy Crap....
Great job everybody.
Nydream - Your Fedor looks great, The head has a good likeness and the shaved hair painted on looks great. Keep this up.
Saveus - This might be your best custom yet. The head looks a little off, but I see what era you were going for. Everything looks smooth and clean, very well done.
Deen - Your Pulver is captured very well. The logos look well done and I like how you sculpted the ankle solid. Helps give it a different feel that I like. This is definitely one of your best. Keep it up man.
Guster - Spectacular job on those logos on Jericho, he looks great. Can't complain about anything on this one.
Jay - E & C look spectacular as well. The logos and detail work in the hair looks great. Edge's hand looks like it belongs on the figure great job on that sculpt. Can't wait to see more from you.
FamousJ - I would honestly have to say this is your best work thus far. The tattoo work is amazing and the sculpting all around is superb. Great job on this one.

Gonzo- That Mir looks f***ing amazing. I really am anticipating our match. The logos looks really good..it must have been a bitch doing that much text. The head in the proto shot looked just like Mir, it kinda lost that resemblance when you painted it..it still looks like him a lot though. The paintjob is just so damn smooth. Very nice custom. I like it. Oh and good job on the tattoos very realistic.
nydream- The fedor looks great. The body looks nice and it is painted very well overall. BUt the eyes are too big. Practice painting eyes on some spare heads that you aren't going to use...Paint the eye an offwhite color...then paint whatever color their eyes are..then the pupil and iris..also get a thin paintbrush and paint a very thin line with black paint across the top of the eye...this will give the affect of eyelashes..The head has the likeness though. I just say work on the eyes and fix the hair. Very nice job though.
TCKD- Jens looks amazing. That head looks just like him. I can't tell if you did his crazy eyes or not. The tattoos look amazing as well as the logos on the shorts. He might be a little too tan but other than that this is a solid piece..
Jay- Your style reminds me of downfall. I really like these. The Christian looks amazing. I wish I could see more pictures. The Edge looks great as well but the hand with the sculpted fingers could use some work. Very nice painting though. I really am a huge fan of your customs.
FamousJ- I have no idea who this guy is but it looks incredible. I really love your style. The shadowing, the tattoos, sculpting. All of it is so top-notch. Great job.

I have to fix up his eyes, straighten the lines on the shorts, and fix the right glove. I have not even sealed it yet... |

Wow all of these are very impressive. I can't comment too much on the wrestlers as far as likeness, accuracy and those things, but the sculpting and painting looks great on all of them. As for the MMA customs:
Mir looks awesome. The facial likeness is there, I believe. It can really be seen in the profile shots. The atattoos are great. i really like the faded look. The trunks look like they are no easy task to paint, but all the logos are done beautifully.
Fedor looks good as well. Like you said it was rushed and you know what needs to be fixed. Other than those small things, my only problem is that the upper toros (pec and lat areas) looks a little too large. Really, it looks great though. I'm only nit picking because I spent the last month staring at pictures of Fedor for hours on end, ha.
Pulver is probably my favorite. I think the head really captures Pulver's squirrely kinda look he usually sports. Again the work on the tattoos is amazing. I especially like the two on his abs. The logos on the trunks could be a little better, but i know how hard that kind of thing can be to paint. Especially text. i appreciate the accuracy.
Grest job everyone. It's cool to see customs that so obviously took a lot of time and effort. That is always nice to see.

Wow. All of the MMA ones are damn impressive. Mir takes the cake, though; that face is uncanny.
Epic job everybody!

Wow, I definitely agree with Sandman. I see Downfall's style in Jay's work. That's uncanny.

I am pretty sure its one of those customizing legends that you hear about from the old days of customizing. Such as Baity, Tinyman, etc.. |

I can definitely see the resemblance to Downfall's work. Though really when I think of Downfall I think of dark characters. I guess because he did a lot of Horror movie characters and Takers.

gonzo- frank mir looks incredible the logos could use a little cleaning up but it sucks to paint stupid text i think u should have modded the cheeckbone a bit to make it look more like mir rather then helms
all in all great custom and im looking forward to u vs sandy
nydream- fedor looks good but i'll wait for u to finish him before i judge make sure u fix the eyes and i think u should sand the side of his torso a little it looks too big
my jens pulver- i cleaned it upp a bit and didnt get to take updated pics so the old pics were sent in and sandy i did paint the eyes this is the best i have ever painted any eyes
saveus- mike awesome looks good this is definately the best work i have seen from u i noticed that u used the long tights and painted skintone over it if u ever do that again be sure to sand down the creases that are not needed
guster- that y2j looks awesome i think u should have used a different torso or at least modded this one love the painting though looking forward to more work from u
jay- edge and christian are unbelievable the painting is so damn good i think edges tights could be cleaned up a little bit but i dont think i could do any better oh yeah and that downfall guy none of his pics are working for me
famousj- i have no idea who this guy is but he is crazy i love those kneepads i wish i was as good of a sculptor as u and your painting skills are also somthing i wish i had cant wait to see more from u
this was a great thing that jay put together it got quite a few people to get some new work out there
so thanx jay

Well now its time for my full reviews!
Gonzo- This Frank Mir is amazing. The head has alot of likeness. The resemblance is remarkable. The body type suits him well but I dont think he is that cut or small but works quite well for him. The sculpting on his gloves, shorts, and kneepads looks great. Very smooth and very accurate and a nice way to make it accurate and keep its articulation at the same time. I love the way you use actual tape for the tape around the feet and the wrists. It looks great! Nice way to swap out the RA legs for DA legs on this one. Came out great. The tattoos are awesome. I know that the text across the stomach was pretty impossible to find pics of it to know what it says but you made it look great! The back tattoos look good too the look very life like. Did you use a gel pen? I know that this was no easy task in his shorts. There are tons of logos on it and very small text. Noone can free hand text like this all scrunched up and do it perfect and you did a great job on it. Very acceptable! Overall this is your best work by far IMO and I am glad I will be owning it!
nydream989- Like I said earlier I have a lil more work to be done and I will post final pics in a few days once I get that work done too it.
Deen- This is also by far your best work! All of the parts choices on this one were perfect. The head is very nicely modded and the likeness is there. I love the way you went the extra mile and modded his whole body form the lower legs & ankles, to his abs and even his arms. The tattoos were probably frustrating but you told me you like to do tattoos and I bet you had fun with these. The chest tattoos are great on this one. I like the painted eyes. They are so good you can barely tell. The ankles looked a bit odd to me when I first saw them but they grew on me and now I like them. The logos are nicely done also. Great work! Same as Gonzos work I am glad I will be owning this!!!!
The rest will be posted shortly!
