![[Cringer (4 Month Old Cub)] Hi Realmers!

Here's another Cringer cub, this time a bit larger than the first Cringer cub I submitted.
I'm really proud with the way his paint job turned out.
Completed September 2011.
Thanks for looking.

This here's just a simple repaint of a Littlest Pet Shop kitten.
Last year I scored a set of Littlest Pet Shop critters and have slowly been working on them in between other projects. They're all almost complete so I thought I give everyone a sneak peek at the first one of the set.
HINT: They're all MOTU-related.
;)
Stay tuned for more to follow within the following week.
Completed August 2011.
Thanks, Realmers, for looking.

![[Sinestro Corps Blattor] Hi Realmers,
The body is from a DCUC Sinestro Corps Batman.
The head is from a B.A.F. Queen Brood figure. I gave it a complete repaint.
The hands are from a McFarlane Toys Wetworks Vampire figure. I also repainted them to match the color scheme of the head.
The ring was sculpted with Aves Apoxie.
The antennae are whiskers from my wife's cat, Mina, that we find on the floor every once in a while.
:)
If you look closely, you'll notice that I added a Sinestro Corps water-slide decal logo to the ring and then covered it with a yellow rhinestone. This looks really cool in person as one can see the Sinestro Corps logo through the rhinestone, as if the logo is inside the rhinestone.
The head was actually completed back in November 2011. However, I was never happy with the regular DCUC Batman hands so I added the creepy Wetworks Vampire hands on Feb 2012, right in time for the Vile Volitions II Contest.
Enjoy folks and thank you for looking.

It's a Sinestro Corps Isz!
:)
He's a simple repaint. However, I wanted to make him different from my first Sinestro Corps Isz.
To change things around I decided to use a Sinestro Corps logo as his eye. I then tried to mimic the amazingly talented Sam Keith's style by making the black around his 'eye' look like ink blots while at the same time trying to make it look like an eyebrow.
I also tried to mimic Sam Keith's style on the Sinestro Corps logo on the Isz's back.
I added a yellow rhinestone around his wrist as his Sinestro Corps 'ring'.
Completed February 2012.
Thanks for looking.

![[Green Lantern Maxx V2] Hi Realmers!
Here's my second take at making a Green Lantern Maxx.
I love customizing this figure. Mainly because I love Sam Keith's art and I feel this figure perfectly captures his art in 3D.
I gave the entire figure a complete repaint using a lot of dry-brushing and TLC. The purple part of his head is the only part I did not repaint. I sculpted his ring using Aves Apoxie and added a green rhinestone to it. I detailed the figure with a lot of water-slide decal Green Lantern logos.
I'm very happy with the way he turned out. I believe he's a massive improvement when compared to my first version of GL Maxx.
I initially started customizing this figure to sell him online, but after seeing the final product, I couldn't let him go. I decided to keep this dude in my collection. He took longer to complete then I had first anticipated, but I feel it was worth all the time and effort.
:)
Completed February 2012.

:)
Every time I saw Raven Spawn, it would scream at me: 'SKELETOR'!
I just had to give it a try!
I love the way he turned out so wickedly evil.
I removed the front piece of his cape and used part of it to make his loin cloth. The loin cloth's chain-link belt connects with magnets on the back of Skeletor. I gave the entire figure a repaint from head to toe. I added a repainted chest armor piece from a MOTUC Skeletor. I took Raven Spawn's staff, modified it a bit and attached a DCUC Red Lantern Skallox head using Aves Apoxie. The Skallox head makes a perfect ram head for the staff. I also sculpted a crown piece on the Skallox head unto which I placed a purple rhinestone. I was contemplating painting the staff the traditional purple color, but decided to go crazy and give it some more depth with colors. I love the way the ram head turned out. I had finished Skeletor late last year but wanted to post him on the Realm with a staff; so I started working on the staff ear](userimages/customs/36500/36286-1.jpg) Skeletor |
![[Sinestro Corps Skeletor] Hi fellow artists.
It's great to be back!
For my first custom of 2012, I present Sinestro Corps Skeletor.
After being inspired by the masterful hunterknightcustoms' version of Sinestro Corps Skeletor and having an extra TRU 2-pack Skeletor lying around, I knew it was only a matter of time before I gave him a try. Add to that the fact that I've been itching to make some MOTUC customs after drooling over the amazing AREZ's MOTUC customs.
Thanks guys for the inspiration!
:)
The recipe is rather simple. I used the body of Snout Spout because of his shorts, unto which I glued the TRU 2-pack DCUC Lex Luthor "skirt". I then added on the forearms, hands, lower legs and head from the TRU Skeletor. Gave the entire figure a repaint. I added 3 rhinestones...one for the ring and two on his loin cloth (front and back). I also used water-slide decals of the Sinestro Corps logo on his chest, left arm band and both boots. Using Aves Apoxie, I sculpted the left arm band and the belt.

:)
My good buddy Paul's brother plays for the Tennessee Titans. He's Ken Amato (#58) and is a really good guy all around. I thought what better Christmas gift than a customized futuristic/alternate universe version of a Tennessee Titans Ken Amato. Especially after looking at the Lex Luthor figure and thinking how perfect this base figure would be for a futuristic football player.
I carefully 'exacto-knifed' the chest logo that the original figure comes with and sanded it down. I gave the entire figure a coat of gray, then blues and blacks, then went crazy with dry-brushing. I detailed the figure with lots of water-slide decals of Tennessee Titans logos and NFL logos. The helmet is from a Hasbro Iron Man figure. The underside of the helmet was made for a bigger peg, so I filled it up with Aves Apoxie (My first time using it.

Painted most of her body, except for the face. I felt the face was perfect as is. Gave the entire figure a coat of black and worked my way from there by dry-brushing on the green. As you can imagine, it took several coats of green for it to come out just right.
Added a green rhinestone as a ring. Added several water-slide decals to detail her.
Completed September 2011.

:)
I'd like to close 2011 with the first figure that I created at the beginning of this year. Prior to 2011, I was always intrigued by the art of customizing figures, but was always a little intimidated by the awesome customs that I would see online.
Early 2011 I decided to bite the bullet and give customizing a try. Hence this concept Green Lantern character which I've fittingly called Genesis.
I bought a DC Direct ElseWorlds Superman figure, removed its head, shoulder pads and cape and went to town on repainting the whole figure. The helmet is actually from a World of Warcraft Series 1- Thargas Anvilmar Dwarf Warrior Figure. I "exact-knifed" the beard and horns off the helmet and sanded it down.
This guy was done before I learned the wonders of using water-slide decals, hence the hand painted GL logos on his chest and helmet. I'm seriously thinking of redoing his 2 GL logos on his helmet. I was never really happy with the way they came out.

![[Sinestro Corps Superman-Prime] Hi folks,
This is my attempt at a Sinestro Corps Superman-Prime custom fig.
The head, lower part of the legs, lower part of the arms and shoulder piece w/ cape are from the DC Direct Earth Prime Superboy. The rest is from a DCUC Sinestro Corps Maash figure. Added some Sinestro Corps logos on both shoulder pieces and boots (took a little artistic freedom here).
I didn't like the tubes that came with the DC Direct figure. I replaced them with cool-looking translucent ones. They're from a plastic bracelet. The yellow strap that goes across his chest was also another piece of the plastic bracelet, painted in yellow.
The figure required very little repainting as most of it had the right colors already. As I recall, the cape and feet were repainted black. The waist piece was painted blue.
Completed August 2011.
Thank you for looking.

Have a wonderful 2012!

Being that the source of the Indigo ring is Compassion and looking at this little guy's face, I immediately thought 'Indigo Tribe'.

![[Sinestro Corps Romat-Ru] Happy Holidays figure-lovers.
I never got a chance to buy the mattycollector set of Romat-Ru and Karu-Sil. Not to mention how expensive it is to get them on the secondary market.
Not to worry.
I took a DC Direct Tomar-Re figure (the one that came out in the early 2000's) and removed its head. I then had to 'exacto-knife' the neck off. Then dremel and sand the underside of the head so that it would sit perfectly on the DCUC Sinestro Corps neck. Once the hard part was over, I painted both the Tomar-Re head and the Maash hands. I tried to somewhat match the paint scheme of the mattycollector Romat-Ru, but then went crazy and added some reds to give him a bit of an exotic effect.
I love the way he came out. I'll take a crack at Karu-Sil one of these days.

This here's a simple repaint. I've always loved the Maxx figure released by McFarlane Toys and thought he would make a great addition to my GL Corps.
About the only part of him I did not paint was his head...which even there I did some work on his teeth and white stripe. I wanted to keep some of his purple to identify him as THE MAXX.
Painting the Isz was super fun, as well.
If you take a close look you'll notice I've detailed the figures with little paint details, waterside decals and little rhinestones (for the rings).
