![[Bizarro Superman] I have been off for awhile. Out vacationing, working, traveling. I have been itching to get back to my figures and paint.
I was really happy with the way my Superman turned out so I wanted to make him an enemy. I picked up a cheap Venom figure during my recent travels and thought it would make a pretty gnarly Bizarro.
Head is a Chris Benoit head with minor modification. The body is Venom, the hands are LCBH Savage Dragon. Cape comes from a DCSH Bizarro that I used for my Venom V1.. Weird, I just realized I used a Bizarro for my Venom and a Venom for my Bizarro. Anyhow sculpted the boots, making look kind of like it needs to be pulled up.
Sculpted the S on the chest.
Hopefully will find some time to finish up some other figures in the next few days.

recipe: Torso, LCBH Savage Dragon, DC Direct Hush Superman Head, WWE wrestler arms, Wraal Legs, Wonderman boots, DC Direct Superman Cape.
Had to modify the shoulders a little to make the wrestler arms work. Modified the wrestler wrists to shorten the arms a little, Modified the neck to make the DC Direct Superman head work.
Sculpted the S symbol. Several shades of blue paint dry brushed.
Always wanted to do a Superman custom. I had done one way back before I started posting anywhere. Most of that one was recycled for Darth Vader.

I had started Vader well before my first post here. So I reclaimed his head and light saber, and parts for his belt from the dark side of the fodder bin.
Here is Darth Vader.
Head, lightsaber, breathing box, and parts for the belt: Star Wars Force Battlers Dart Vader
upper torso: DCUC Superman
Lower torso, belt, and legs: DCUC Steel
Boots: ML Wonderman
Gloves: MOTU Staction Snout Spout.With articulated wrist for super posing.
Loin clothe and Cape: LCBH Wraal
Shoulder Armor: DCUC Ares.
Some Foamie sheet for the armor on the chest area and shin guards.
Lots of epoxy.
I know Vader never had a ripped cape or robes but, I thought this made him look more menacing and like he enjoys getting into the battle.

This is my first completed Star Wars custom. Darth Vader is lying somewhere at the bottom of my fodder bin plotting his way to the top..
This is one of ML First Appearance Things that came with his legendary? um..hover bike. the hands are from the target exclusive movie hulk I used previous for Wolverage. The feet are from a grey hulk, I think one of the 5 inch scale versions.
A lot of sanding and sculpting. Lots of added epoxy to get the heavy, slow moving, Gamorrean look. Looked at lot of Gamorrean costumes that fans have made for ideas on how to take on the face. I found that the Thing's face really lent itself to the piggy look.
I did use fabric on this custom to help get the earthy leathery look. I also used some faux fur for the loin clothe. I wanted to make sure I could pose the legs for those awesome drop kicks and..well I wanted to be able to to be able to waddle with easy.

![[Orko] Another of my “elseworld” take on a MOTU character. This version of Orko is also from a planet of Trolla. But this planet is inhabited by Technomancers rather than simple magicians. Inside the core they believe their deity Coz-Mo, a Thunder deity, lives and uses a great machine to channel the natural magic to the rest of the planet. They in turn have learned how to create machines and technology to channel the magical energies that radiates from their planet.
This Orko is an inventor and just discovered how to use celestial tones played on what he calls Coz-Mo’s key to unlock different locations around the planet. On his home world the Evil Gorpo sought out the Coz-Mo key to advance his plot to seek the source of the magic and control it for himself and ruling Trolla as Technomancer Supreme.
As Gorpo’s forces began to break Orko's door down, Orko escaped using an unknown sequence of tones. Barely escaping Orko finds himself on Eternia.

After seeing lanshark's Thanatos and I being inspired by Cerebus's paint applications on his two versions of Ares, I got the itch to make one myself.
DCUC ARES head to toe with a face transplant. The skull came from a key ring Cerebus sent me awhile ago. removed the shoulder armor added wings from a DCUC Hawkman.
Sword short and more like a gladiator's sword, and it is a combo of LCBH Wraal's hilt and LCBH Conan's blade. The Scabbard is a modified LCBH Conan scabbard. I shortened it to fit the shorter gladiator sword.

![[Classic Mimic V2] Using Stevid's recipe, I have had this "in progress" for awhile. The only change I made was the lower legs and feet. Those came from a 5 inch Movie Hulk figure. The calves and feet looked like they were perfectly proportioned for the Savage Dragon figure. Attaching them was not completely easy. You can see some WIPs of on my myspace album page.
Another thing that slowed this one down was the orange paint. I couldn't get it the right consistency.. either too thick or not thick enough. So finally went with a red base coat and several shades of orange and finally a light highlighting of yellow to make the muscles really stand out. The Wings came from Stevid.. Thanks again..
Painted those a light sky blue and dry brushed with white. Thought the contrast between the wings and Mimic's body came out pretty well.

Well I figured what the hey lets make a Deadpool for grins and giggles.
I can't recall exactly which Storm Shadow it was. I have a pic of the base figure on my myspace page album.
It was hard to sand down the head since it is hollow rubber. Epoxied the facial features, added the tip to the back of his hood. Painted the white fabric costume red, and hand painted the black details. The black seams on the costume are trimmed with rubber from some flat twist ties.

The Head is a DC Direct Else Worlds Green Lantern.. He had those really cool goggles and that leather cap, perfect for what I wanted to do.
I tried to keep the original character's color scheme but updating it with a metallic/ Silverhawk shine.
I used the straps and loin clothe from the 2002 Stratos figure. I inverted the colors on the loin clothe so that the feathers matched the wings.
