emperorshotz Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Niiice - that's great Strong Guy. Love that you've made X-Factor Caliban too! I'm just reading Fall of the Mutants now which features him in this very costume. Thanks! Pop on Battle-scarred Thing's helmet and you can get his fully suited up look from that storyline, too!

Turtle Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Great stuff! I'm hoping that whenever official 90's X-Factor 'mates come they're as good as what you've done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorshotz Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Minor part swapping and minimal painting brings: based off this cover: with the addition of Tom Corsi and Sharon Friedlander. Pretty basic work, but if anyone wants to see a solo fig, let me know and I'll post a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorshotz Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 A team I've had in the works for a while, I started conceptualizing these pieces because I had no team for the X-Force boxset Cable to lead! Cannonball Boom-Boom Rictor Sunspot Warlock Wolfsbane Skids Rusty One colorful group of mutants, that's for sure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Look great! (Who are Skids & Rusty!? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorshotz Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Look great! (Who are Skids & Rusty!? ) Holy 80's, Batman! Is this a serious question!?!? Rusty Skids They're two of the most influential characters in X-History... Nah, just kidding, who wouldn't try and forget a character named "Skids". Not great connotations to that name... Nevertheless, they can be found in this collection: Cable and the New Mutants Vol 1 part of the advent of X-Force. There were so many changes to the plans/future of this team at the time-- a lot of looks and character shuffling. X-Tinction Agenda was really the last crossover they appeared in with this lineup/costume set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENIME_art Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Haha, wow. Yeah, I consider my X-knowledge to be somewhat decent, but I have never heard of either of them until now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psyguy Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Nice work. Love how colourful your customs are too. I think these are the first Rusty/Skids customs I have seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Emperorshotz, your stuff is always amazing!!! I love your characters choices, and I love that you create whole teams and unveil them. Love the Muir Island X-men and the New Mutants/ X-force! Always look forward to your updates! Wes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CableNathan Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Yes! So much 90's love. I love that you went all the way and did Rusty and Skids. I remember them primarily from in and around the fatal attractions storyline. That group shot is great. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorshotz Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Thanks for all the comments, guys! It's been a while, and I've done a lot, but for now I figured I'd start with the New X-Men (formerly Academy X), an iteration of the team based off of this image: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/7/70/NewX-Men44cover.jpg X-23 Surge Prodigy Rockslide Anole Mercury Dust Pixie! (went back and forth between giving her black "Soul Dagger" streaks in her hair, but since she had them for just such a short time, I decided to hold off) Gentle Hellion Elixir Edited September 26, 2013 by emperorshotz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Some very nice work I particularly love the rainbow effect you've done on Pixies wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phiz Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Beautiful work. Rockslide is my fav. Did you sculpt the chest piece or just cut down a bigger one? Edited October 1, 2013 by Phiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorshotz Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Thanks! It's actually Witchblade's chest armor with sculpting over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorshotz Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 (edited) Just a quick update-- it bothered me that Rictor and Boomer's costumes didn't match the rest of the "Original" X-Force team. So... I decided to make a team to go with them. W11 Cable, quick custom (Rogue) Siryn, Rictor, and Boomer were the one's I had all ready to go, which left:SunspotFeralCannonballWarpathand Shatterstar!and to go with the original X-Force...Heavily based off Wes2882's and boyd's (i believe) which I saw them post on the boards a few months ago.
