Looks wicked man, love the shorts. Head looks cool too, but there's something off about it. Maybe the nose?
Nonetheless, glad you finally finished it, lol. Haven't seen one from you in a while.

While the face looks quite a bit off to me, those shorts are truly something special. My biggest gripe with this custom overall though are the part choices. If you had just taken an existing UFC figure like Rashad, Houston, or Anderson, and used that as your base, this figure would be even better. The torso used on those, combined with that amazing paint/sculpt job you did here on the shorts would have made this even better. You probably just worked with what you had though, since this was for an order.
Overall, this is a still a good effort. I love your progress pics as well. Hopefully your customer enjoys the work you did.

dream should be a happy customer because it looks amazing.
I don't like the head much. I think the second proto picture of him looked a lot like Vera..but then you modded it more and that is when it lost it for me...
but beyond that it looks great. I'm not sure why you are so self-critical about the logos they look fantastic. Not only did you paint them yourself, you painted them yourself over a surface full of wrinkles and creases.....not easy. The tattoos look so realistic. I love them. I wish I could see the tattoos on his legs a little more...but whatever. Awesome job deen...

This is a great piece of work! I am amazed at how well you work with apoxie. That stuff can be very unforgiving if you don't mind your time. I'm not too familiar with UFC but from what I can tell, You've done a brilliant job. The skin tone is great. The Mod's are very clean and I can't say enough about the shorts. The tattoo's and designs look really good. My only issue is with all that great detail, You probably could've put a little wash or dry brush in to make the details pop! A lot of your hard work may be covered by the paint and thats a shame. I think you have really stepped up, over the years and raised your game to an impressive level. Good luck to you on your next project!

Very nicely done. I don't care for the head so much, but it does work for him. The shorts sculpt is fantastic. Muay Thai shorts have tons of wrinkles and are just like you sculpted. To do the logos on the wrinkles and what not is quite hard to do and you pulled that off really well. Great job overall, Dream will love this.

yeah I agree with Jay..
if it weren't for the proto pictures you wouldn't know how much detail your sculpting is (especially the shorts). When you paint over all that beautiful sculpting some of the detail is hidden. I think you should start drybrushing and doing a wash on some areas of your customs..you could pull it off. Your work is un-f***ing-believable.
I can't wait to see what you make next.
