Ryu's Krew Customs WIP

Posted in Custom Workstation

Hey there Figurerealm! In the past I've posted topics about me being concerned about getting into customizing, as it's very different than drawing comics, but with some advice from all of you here, and looking up a few tutorials, they're getting done and actually not looking too bad.
------------------------------------------------

This was one of the first pictures taken, being a few days ago when Archound (the one laying on it's side w/out arms or legs) was being decided if I wanted different legs, or what exactly I was going to do.


This was actually before the first pic, but I thought it should be interesting to note that I have tried sculpting two different swords for Ryu (the hat one) already, both turning out to be failures. Still working on trying to get it down. But I'll have to try again after I finish sculpting all the chars.


Here's Archound, now fixed and with broader shoulders (as before the original shoulder joints were incredibly small.) I used two wrestler arms (I believe it was an older Matt Hardy fig).


And here's a few of them posing. They still aren't complete (quite obviously) but I think they're off to a pretty great start, as a first time sculpter.









About 3 months ago or so, I realized my Dremel (it wasn't actually a Dremel, it was a Craftsman sort of tool that was a lot like a Dremel, and it was kinda old) wasn't working. My dad took it apart, and lo and behold, one of the chain/rubber parts inside snapped. So I'm basically without a dremel. But surprisingly, doing all that sort of work with an exact knife isn't that bad. I've been making do with what I have. So that's why they're all kinda dirty/not that great looking. Plus I'm still working out their proportions and such.
