this is custom was heavily inspired by the best jim lee cyke ever created. it was done by a filipino who resides in new jersey, "doubledealer" is what his famous name is. I am a big x-men fan since the jim lee days way back in the early 90's so I have to own the best jim lee cyke figure, tho I can't own doubledealer's cyke custom so I decided to make one for my own collection. I never realized how hard this custom was done by doubledealer until I had the chance to try it myself, it took me atleast a week to finish him. ![]() |

I've talked to 2d about borrowing his recipe for the cyke, he hasnt commented yet on my work cause the man is going thru a lot lately and havent logged in since. but he's all good.
thanks again, loose.
don't get me wrong also, I love comments like these. hehe.
crits makes a customizer improve more, that is why I love these kind of comments.
love explaining my work too. hehe.
thanks a lot, buddy!
and so am I. You are one of the best kabayan.
anyways, that clay stiffens around 1 to 2 hours. you have lot of time to edit the sculpt, that is why I love this stuff. tho, you have to practice how to use it, I've learned a lot on my almost 2 years of using this putty. thanks man!
and BTW...
thanks folks who commented on this thread. you guys rock!!!
hmm... maybe I won't agree with the cheeks being fat, what doubledealer did was to make the head proportioned to the body. believe me, if we stuck with the xmc cyke head without modifications, it won't work pretty well with the base body, that is why I sculpted more hair too. I think that's what 2d would answer too to your comment. FO cap has a big upper body. that is why it needs a well proportioned head.
here's the wip:
about the canckles, maybe the FO legs are just too bulky, I would have dremeled the legs even more.
That said, I really dig the slight sheen his uniform has.. gives it a unique and cool effect.
I have 2 small crits if you don't mind... First is the same thing I didn't like on 2d's Cyce.. the cheeks, I think they look to fat, well, not fat but broad like Kelsey Grammer
and the second crit would be the Canckles. they look to need some TLC, or maybe bigger calves.
none the less, I wouldn't even worrie about it cause I would be proud to own this peice.
