![[Ms Marvel (Dark Avengers)] I did this custom to enter into a contest over on the WGC facebook page. I had never attempted to any contest in the 9 years I have been customizing so I thought I woud finally give it a shot. Things worked out and I ended up winning with this gal. I wanted to give her a more powerful look, so the proportions are overexaggerated some.
RECIPE
Parts of this recipe have been used by other talented customizers, raybot, fast freddie, and prodigy just to name a few. I don't know who came up with it originally but whoever did Thanks!

I didn't see any reason for this fella to have gun hands, so I switched his hands out for the left hand of claw and right fist of a wolverine. I repainted him from head to toe and gave him full mirror chrome wings. Simple custom, but thrilled with the outcome.

![[Harley Quinn New 52] I wanted to get this one done so I could post it at the same time as my joker, but I couldn't ever get satisfied with how she looked. I am pretty happy with the end result as it was a pain painting blue, red, and almost white skin...the blue and red wanted to travel onto the skin when I was trying to finish another area. She was made from a DCUC Star Sapphire, Harley feet and hands from DCUC Arkham fig,head is katma tui, belt from Jonah Hex, and the rest was sculpted detail. I use metal wire and just sculpted over it for the pig tails so they wouldn't just break off. Hope you guys enjoy!

I did an orignal headsculpt on this guy, and sculpted the entire upper torso, and shirt sleeves. He was made from a DCUC Sandman figure, some avatar figures arms, and I ordered the tool belt from an online minature store. The tools are real metal and most of them actually move like their real scale counterparts. Anyways I hope you guys enjoy my take on the Joker!

![[New 52 Catwoman] I have actually been wanting to this one for awhile, ever since the ML Black Widow was released but just had other things over ruling her creation. She is made from a ML Mysique, sculpted boots, gloves,& zipper. The unmasked head is a ML Black widow resculpted, and the masked head is DCD Hush Catwoman's head. I acetoned the goggles to try to remove some of the blue tinting and added my clear yellow over that. I also spliced some ml elecktra hands with the hush catwomans so she could have some clawing action. Hope you all like her!

![[Black Canary] The last & final member of my birds of prey set is Black Canary. Again since I did the other members in DCUC format, I figured I would do the same with Canary so she would fit in with the others. I used a DCUC CS Superwoman,DC Beast Boy feet, Zatanna Stockings, DCD Supergirl head,and sculpted all the costume details. I wish I could have used the fishnets on other parts, like her arms and lower legs but I had no way to attach them without it being a glued mess, so I just painted them on. Hope you guys like her!

I have had her done for a little while, but was hestitant to post after Prodigy posted his really nice version. I just stuck with the line and used a Dove base, Raven head with sculpted hair and sculpted corset. The tattoos were agonizing to paint and I think I developed a twitch in one of my eyes for trying to focus on details that small lol! Hope you guys dig

![[Katana] Here is the another member of the new 52 birds of prey Katana. I intially thought this would be a pretty easy project but as I got further into I decided I was just resculpt the entire figure. The part of the figure that I didn't sculpt onto was her left arm...everything else is sculpted detail. I used a new 52 Batgirl for the base body. Gave her the usual paint job and there you have it.

I'm not too crazy about the costume, but I decided to give her a go anyway. I made her from a Wonder Woman DCUC figure (one in the lantern costume), sanded down all the costume details and resculpted her bust and butt, then sculpted all the leaves. I used an invisible woman head, because Ivy seems to have gotten a hair cut in most of the images I could find of her. I made some bendy vines like she is often pictured with with some wire and plasti dip. I usually prefer her more risque attire, which is something I may attempt later but I wanted to stick with her new 52 look. Hope you guys like her.

![[D. Grayson Batman] I made this guy a couple months ago just never got around to posting him here. I made him from a DCUC figure of some kind of random DCUC figure I had laying around, sculpted the belt, gaunlets, chest insignia, and used parts from a justice league DCD Batman. I shaded the heck out of him with my airbrush and used lacquer paint for the belt....I just don't think batman should look like he just drycleaned his suit so I try to make him look a little more hardened. Hope you guys like him!

He is a Rom fanatic and had been hinting he wanted me to make him a modern Rom for almost a year. Rom is made from an MS Ultron, everything else you see is sculpted detail. I worked on this bad boy for over a month off and on and I finally finished him up today. Hope you guys like this oldie but goodie!

![[Superman] Hello, I knew this guy was destined to be supes as soon as the con pics emerged, so as soon as I got my hands on him I began the process of converting him over. I sculpted his famous S insignia, belt and top of his boot cuffs. Really happy with the way he turned out.
Thanks

She was made from a DC Universe Star Sapphire figure, I resculpted her entire torso, hips, butt and sculpted all the armor. The head she's sportin came from a DCU modern Cheetah. I had to shave the shoulders way down to allow for the armor to be sculpted on, so the articulation still works. Tough piece but thought she came out nicely.

![[Arsenal] Here is the second member of the outlaws Arsenal! He was made from a DCUC YJ Red Arrow, robin head (resculpted hair & hat), Sculpted armor & details, quivers were cobbled together from fodder. The hardest part was doing the tattoos, I probably did them over about 3 times until I finally got a desired result. I hope you guys dig!

![[Clint Barton Goliath] Up Next is Clint Barton Giant Man. I picked up an extra Colossal Boy and usually I don't like DCU bodies for marvel customs but I thought this one suited Clint. I wanted him to look like the new bowen statue so I added a metallic effect to the blue costume details. Everything you see that's not colossal boy is sculpted detail and the rivets came from the craft style. Hope you guys enjoy

He is made from a fearsome foes spidey with a resculpted torso, lower legs, arms, and head. The symbol and wrist gaunlets are also sculpted. I had an extra spidey laying around that was damaged so I decided to take on the challenge of sculpting webline, and an intricate symbol that wrapped around his whole torso. Gave him the usual paint job and woolah!
Thanks

![[Carnage] Hello All! It's been a long time since I posted last, way too long! I was locked out for a few months due to some tech issues and I would like to think the admins for helping me get the problem sorted out. Carnage is the latest figure that I have completed and man did he take up quite a bit of time to do so. A special thanks to Craig Warrack for allowing me to use his fantastic recipe. Carnage is made from an ML Iron Fist with the shoulder fix, hot glue is drizzled all over him, used flosser pics for his finger tips, styrenne for the axe, Sota Adon head (resculpted), and a ML Moonknight head resculpted. The tentacles are craft wire dipped in plasti dip. Lot's more work on the way.
Thanks

![[Icon] Hello, Here is my newest custom Icon. Originally a character from the independent Milestone comics, but now he is part of the DC Universe. I have had a lot of people request this custom so here he is! He is made from a DCUC Hawk, Omac lower legs, Mr. Terrific head, & a DCD despero cape that was modified, everything else was sculpted. Really liked how he turned out. Hope you guys dig!

I thought the Arkham City head was probably one of the worst headsculpts DC Universe had put out. However, the body sculpt on this guy is probably one of the best in the DCU line. I replaced the head with the DCC Hush Nightwing head, and gave him a new paint job. Pretty cut and dry custom, but I think the results speak for themselves.

![[Batman Arkham City] Hey guys, it's been a long time! I have a lot of stuff coming down the pipeline for you guys and I'll just say it's been a busy summer! Here is one of my more recent customs, Arkham City Batman. He was shortened at the waist, given articulated hands, real cloth cape, altered shoulders so they could come closer to his torso and realistic hand painted feel. A lot happier with how he came out than the drab, plain jane figure mattel released. Again I apologize for the long hiatius, my four month old and 7 year old have been keeping me busy! Thanks and hope you guys like him!](userimages/customs/42000/41624-1.jpg) Batman Arkham City | ![[Batman (Batman & Son)] Well, It's a well known fact around here that I enjoy doing Batman Customs, so here is another one to add to the fold. He is made up similiar to the Hush style one I done a month or so ago, with a DCSH Batman upper body, FO punisher crotch & legs, Sentry boots & gloves, sculpted the boot tops, DCD Batman & son cape, head, and belt. I matched the texture on the sentry boots and gloves with the sculpted parts but it is not picked up in the photos very well. Gave him the usual airbrush paint job and there you have it!
Thanks

![[Modern Punisher] Well I had about three extra Drax's so I decided to make use of one of them. I have been wanting to do a Punisher custom like this for awhile every since LC made his Olivetti style punisher a year or so ago. I used a Drax body, Steve Rogers lower arms, Punisher head re-sculpted and bits of fodder for the belt. I hand painted him and used the airbrush for some highlights. Have been working on my skin tones to try to make them more realistic, so let me know what you guys think.
Thanks!

She is made from parts from FFF She Hulk, Black Widow, Wasp, Elektra, Shanna, and her hair, fur & zipper are sculpted. She looks like a simple design, but she was actually quite complicated. Hope you guys like her!

![[Azrael] Looking at my Azrael figure, I decided he needed a makeover to give him the ability to look straight ahead & lost the spagetti legs too. He is made from a DCU AzBats, with DCSH Azrael arms, head,& cape. I had to dremmel the shoulder sockets out to get his monster shoulders to fit in the Azbats body, and also sculpted the belt as well. I was gonna do an unmasked head, but were his cape is so thick, the head would not sit properly on his neck. This was also my first time using lacquer paint for the gold on his armor. Really pleased with how he turned out!

I used an ML Maria Hill, DCD huntress head, cape, & gun (reconfigured), sculpted the leg straps, pouches on legs & arms, elbow & knee pads, belt, resculpted arms & chest. She is also all hand painted! I wish I could show all the detail I put into all the straps, but with my fancy Digital SLR camera, I have a harder time making close up pics. Hope you guys like her!

He is made from a DCD Hush Batman head & belt,DCSH Batman torso & arms,FO Punisher lower body, Ultimate Cap gloves & boots (resculpted), real cloth cape and shaded him like crazy with my airbrush. I sanded his joints down so you can pose him til your hearts content. Wanted to give him articulated hands so he could grab his cape, and matching the texture on the gloves and boots was a real pain. This is one of my favorite customs that I have ever done and I hope you guys like him!
