Sorry for the poor/lack of pictures. My sister broke my digital camera, so I had to use my phone and I get charged per picture so I only took 2 shots. Anyways, this is my custom Sheamus I made about 2 weeks ago. He has a full body hand painted skin tone. He is 100% completely playable and was designed for such. Everything was hand painted, no decals or anything. I also only used a basic HHH, cut the hair and superglued it back on to make his spiked hair look. Stuff that may not show up in the pictures due to the quality/angle is that he DOES have his cross logo on his wrist tape and it is identical to the logo on his back. Additionally, the entire tongue of his boots is green, while the laces are still black (just like they should be), I know that is a detail most people leave out. My original intention was to use WMH Austin and a different head, but couldn't find him in stores, or on ebay/classifieds for a reasonable price. I'm not a big fan of the head as I still think it looks like HHH, but it gets the job done in my collection to look enough like sheamus. I am in the process of making him his cross, and have since made him a removable cloth shirt (unfortunately I do not have pictures, but if you PM cptbiox he can elaborate on how nicely the shirt came out as I sold it to him). He is for sale, so PM me if you are interested:   His skin tone is essentially dead on as he has less pigment than the lightest mattels (Cena, Y2J, Undertaker) but is nothing close to a stark white (like I have seen some people paint him). |

Wow that is the worst things i've ever seen. All you did was cut the bottom of HHH hair from the back and glue it to his hairline and paint it orange and paint over his tights and boots. No originality, no real work to even try to make it look like the guy. Its triple H on a bad hair day

No originality, no real work to even try to make it look like the guy. Its triple H on a bad hair day To be fair, the guy did paint a skintone too, one that looks pretty clean and smooth. I wouldn't say it was as simple as you made it seem like. The whole thing is pretty ace from the neck down -- maybe try taping off lines to make them neater. I would try to find a different head or at least mod the HHH head more in the back. This is pretty far from the worst custom I've ever seen, personally. I think some more work would tie up some of the lesser points and bring the whole thing together. |

Skintone looks great! but, the head...not so much
It showed originality by thinking outside the box, but it just doesn't quite work

The painting seems from the pics kinda sloppy. The head doesn't work well either. But it's kinda cool for what it is, a mattel hhh, and it does...kinda get by as sheamus. Maybe better future pics might help it.

No originality, no real work to even try to make it look like the guy. Its triple H on a bad hair day You couldn't be more wrong. I gave him his own skin tone, and painted the entire figure from head to toe. The entire head, every crevice, every joint, etc is painted. On top of that, the skin tone is clean and looks like it came that way from Mattel. Make it look like the guy? All he wears are the tights and boots, which I reproduced accurately and for the most part pretty cleanly. Like I said, this was the only head I had and I did the best with what I had. It was made to be played. Worst piece of work you've ever seen? You must not look at the majority of the customs on the board. |

I think its also poor that you're justifying your work on that way.
The Painting is clean, but the painting on Boots is not the best and even the sculpting on the back of the head is worng.I wont say anything to the whole head.
Not Bad custom, but also not perfect.

I think you did a great job on the painting and the skintone. I would recommend another scan, but the hair looks cool. |

This really isnt A bad custom. I think the head is just the thing that is throwing people off. The paint on the trunks could be better but the skin tone looks good and the boots look decent. Like you said you made it to play and you did the best with what you had.
If you used A different head and the lettering on the trunks was A little more neat then this would be A great custom.
Obviously the Triple H head looks like Triple H still but maybe you can find A better head. The facial hair looks nice so if you can do that again and figure out something else for the hair, youll be good to go.
