 The paint job is rough. And he kind of looks like Mickey Rourke (2017) But i'm open to suggestions and help how i can fix it. Be kind as well... lol  Okay, my Adam Cole isn't good. It's basically Christian with a beard. But I thought i'd post it so maybe you guys can recommend a better head. |

All right, bear with me here, as I don't actually know who either of these guys are. I'm going strictly off of what you've provided for photos. The first thing that strikes me about your Omega is the high gloss look of the finish. Did you you a gloss coat? It definitely gives the wet look, but I don't think that's what you were going for. If you can get a clear matte finish, that would cut down on the shine, especially on the hair, where I think you've lost some detail due to shine. I can't tell if there are strands of hair there, or if it is a larger piece of scuplture. But I think you've got an excellent base to work from there!
Cole using a Christian head doesn't seem totally off base. I think the hair is again the factor to improve. It looks like you might need to trim off the strand over his left shoulder, and perhaps you might sculpt it a little thicker on top, since it looks like he has more hair on his head than Christian. Again I think it's just a matter or cleaning up your brush strokes for his beard and eyebrows. A fine detail brush is a real must when adding in features like whiskers and eyebrows. You can add a few strokes and then compare it to what you are looking at in your photo without excessive paint building up too quickly.

It's 2017 and you're a wrestling fan. If you haven't at least youtubed Omega/Okada highlights (any of 'em) you're not doing the internet thing correctly. I'm not saying everyone has to love the guy, but jeesh! Why would you not even watch highlight videos? You can't say you don't have time, as you have time to respond. You can't use the old standby, "I don't watch TV" because you can watch youtube via the means you use to access this forum.
Anyways.
The Christian head isn't a bad choice. I'd remove the paint, get a finer brush, and get the beard done a littler cleaner. It won't be much work, and I think it would make it 10x better. Still, not bad.
I'd also try recoloring Omega's hair. Take whatever brown paint you used for Cole, add a splotch of black to darken the brown, then paint the hair. I don't think the highlights are necessarily.. necessary. But, if you insist, then find a yellow and mix/match until you find a good tone.
I think you're on the verge of having some pretty good looking customs. The sculpt work and parts choice were great. Now, if you can find a little patience and clean up the paint job, these would be first class customs.

I haven't watched a wrestling match more modern than Raw's Old School night on Youtube. I don't watch current WWE or any of the independent shows. I'm an old school wrestling fan, I watch stuff from the 70s and 80s on youtube for fun. I watched the Attitude Era some in high school, and that was about where I left off with any sort of regular modern viewing. I enjoy doing customs of old school guys, and that's what brought me to this forum, rather than wrestling itself. I enjoy seeing other people's customs, and the creativity and hard work that goes along with 'em. He was kind enough to offer pictures alongside his customs, so I was just trying to offer some (hopefully) constructive feedback. |

Please, don't project your own accidence and turn my words into something confrontational. If my grandfather was like, "I don't need to see the Wonder Woman movie, as I prefer to reread Denny O'Neil's run over and over again.". I wouldn't respond in anger, but rather call him a Luddite and try to convey what he's missing out on. Just because I don't understand willful ignorance, doesn't mean it makes me mad, lol. |
