I don't have too much going on yet. I've made a couple proto-type costumes, nothing I'm completely happy with tho. I think I'm done with the card tho, what do you think about it? Where could it use improving, and what do you recommend for the back? Keep an eye out for pictures of my progress on the figure.

Looks good man. My recommendation would be to make the "1 of 1" pop a little more, maybe a gold font with a white stroke. If you're using Photoshop you can implement some patterns and shadowing as well. As far as the back, I usually opt for something with more bling than just an image of the wrestler. Usually an image over some sort of logo themed background for example. I personally don't know anything about this large angry black woman on this card......but it looks like a good start bro. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Thanks a lot man. You don't know who awesome kong/ aka Karma is? Anyway, I thought about a flashy background but wanted to keep things simple. I agree the 1 of 1 should stand out more, so people understand it is a one of a kind, they will never find it anywhere else again. I'll do some tweaking and post what I come up with and let me know what you think.

Here is what I have done on the costume so far, from concept drawing to paper to gorilla tape proto-type in reverse order for some reason lol. Let me know what you think. I'm not happy with them, they were just a starting point. I am currently piecing together a real leather costume I'll see how that looks, if I don't like I I will either make one from plastidip, or sculpt the top part, and the bottom will be plastidip or leather, which ever looks best.

this is the original card I was going to use. I thought it was too weak, and too much of a copycat of the Deluxe Impact series.

I worked hard for a long time and this is what I came up with for the Front and back of the Card. Not sure if I like it enough to be final, but I think it's pretty good. What do you think?

Couldn't sleep so I worked on these some more, did more tweaking, added a subtle difference. Cage in the background. I think it really adds to it. It really helps fill in the empty spaces. Let me know if you think the ring would look better in front of the cage or where it is. How does the back of the card look? I gave some stats. I think it looks pretty darn good.

Thanks a lot. I've been putting lot of work into it. The costume is going to be the hardest part, that and the hair.

the figure is in no shape for pictures lol. It has the body of Mark Henry and the head of Orlando Jordan and the costume is not finished. Taking a picture would be pointless, as I have not done anything to it yet. I'm in the process of figuring out what I want to do for the hair, and thinking hard about the face. I will post pictures as soon as I have done anything major. I'm going to post the leather costume pictures as soon as I get it done the way I want it.

Ok so here is the pictures of what I got going on so far. You see the first leather costume, in a bunch of pieces, taped together, looking very ugly. I have since made the costume 2 pieces, and it does look better. Still trying to work out all the details on that. Then you see the body of the figure, how I want it. It has different hands and boots. The hands are from a ufc figure, I have to paint the fingers a darker shade of brown. Also, I ran into a little problem with the feet, which is going to restrict articulation. That's ok though, because nobody needs to turn their feet, nor can they. The original feet had the peg on top of the foot and hole in the leg, the feet I want on there, they had hole in the foot and peg leg. So I was stuck with hole on hole. So I am going to have to glue the foot to the leg. That's fine. Then the last picture is kinda blurry, but it is my orlando jordan head, I added a little apoxie sculpt and made the cheeks a little bigger. This is all I got so far, I am not done. I realize it looks like crap now, but when I am done, I am hoping for a figure I can be proud of.

Why don't you write the back of the card like she is actually in TNA instead of talking about what she's done in Japan? Surely that would make more sense? Talk about her feud with Gail Kim, how she and Gail Kim main evented an impact and where the first women to do so for the Knockouts Championship. talk about her weight and how scary she is, don't give facts like you have, as that's not how the cards themselfs look is what I mean. As for the figure? I hate how you've used only male parts. Why not just re-paint a white woman's face? Otherwise, use a Booker T head.

I like what I have on the back, it is stats. I may modify it a little. I didn't want to use a booker t head like everyone else. it looks like crap. They didn't have any women parts in her size. I used the head I chose cuz it looks closest to her face. Yah, I also used a male body, clostest there is to her. I'm modifying both to look more like her. The whole point of this was to get something that looks more like her then a booker t head. And by the way, she isn't in TNA anymore.

For the hair you could sculpt with Oyumaru so it's flexable

Just offering a little help. I want to see a great Awesome Kong figure made. Also, your the one making an 'Impact Wrestling Awesome Kong' figure. So... ?
