it's been ages since i've posted a custom here, and since my customising roots pretty much began here i'd just thought i'd keep you guys updated on what i've been up to.
deviated away from wrestling customs for quite some time, my most recent works are a set of 7 playmobil figures i did up for a local arts show. entitled "a curious panorama of corporate utopia", it chronicles the struggle between 2 factions, The Corporation and Rebel 'R' Us.
sculpted with epoxy putty, and ya i did go a lil crazy with the pics. and just so this still kinda belongs on a wrestling customs forum, heres a work in progress i've been toying around with. it's edge in his old school brood attire. guna be interesting working in this scale.
all of these are amazing..I love the Edge so far..this elbowpads look a little thick but I trust your judgment as you were simply the very best when it came to wrinkles and elbow/knee pads..
good to see you post here again...First Baity..now you.. I'm just waiting for Tee to pop up now..
Those are all very cool. The Heartland one reminds me of Christopher Walken for some reason.
It's cool to see you back doing cool stuff. If Tee came back, we'd just see some really perverted naked barbies like he was doing when we all last saw him. haha.

Welcome back once again Daniel. Great to see you posting more stuff. Your Edge is coming along nicely. I love the kneepads, wrist bands and elbow pads along with all the wrinkles added to the tights.
Your Curious Panorama of Corporate Utopia is great stuff. What are the base for those? Legos? The detail involved in these is just spectactular, glad to see you have broadened out and are doing some great stuff. Post more soon.
These all look great C.C. It's pretty tough to give responses to things like what you have done here, because they look so good that you can't really compliment them without sounding trite. Still, great work. Don't be a stranger.

thumbs up for the crits guys.
Sandy: i do agree with you. those DA style arms are massive and they carried over to the build n brawl sculpts. in hindsight i should have sanded down the arms before sculpting over.
Gore: yanno i never realised that before. i think its the hair and the crazy eyed gas mask. Tee was the one that more or less showed me the ropes for customising so it'd be great to see him come back again. but yea, he loved them nekkid ladies.
adrione: i use plumbers epoxy putty to sculpt. you can get it at most diy stores and its basically a 2 part compound that you mix and air dries in abt an hour.
Great Gonzo: thanks chum, biohazard is right, the bases of the figures are from playmobil, they're around 2 1/2 inches in height.
biohazard: appreciate it! as goes with my schedule i'd be lucky to finish the edge custom, but i do check out the forum from time to time
foxeth: they're all original designs based loosely on the concept that in life, everyone puts up a front or facade (which is why all of them have concealed faces). the chum represents the notion that once stripped down to our basic elements, money is the driving force behind most of our actions.

I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product with the Edge. It's looking great so far.
Wow, I'm loving those of a curious panorama of corporate utopia. Those are wicked. My faves are Corporate Champ and Corporate Chimp. You're extremely talented.

much love everyone
John Bender : as some have mentioned, it's a bnb scale edge that i'm working on
dunno if it's appropriate to post it here, but i've more or less finished sculpting this bad boy.
i'm not sure what it is about this scale that makes me wanna cram in every conceivable detail; it's not really visible since theres still some cello wrap under the neck (i use that so after sculpting the hair it retains the neck articulation), but i sculpted a tiny pukka shell necklace like he used to wear. still considering if i should sculpt in the tights pattern since i forsee painting this to be a killer.
