Bob Harris Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 With all due respect, but you sir, are a bitch! That Hellboy is one of the best customs I've ever seen and now I can forget about mine. THIS IS IT! Seriously, that paint job ist brilliant, the parts you've chosen work perfect and the Mignola style is outstanding! Your Pilgrim twins are great! No question, but I guess it's something you mentioned yesterday: they are just boring jeans and T-Shirt guys. Meining, they look as good as possible and I really enjoy them, but something like your Hellboy really reveals your talent! Great, great job!

MINI_MYTE Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) One of your best customs (rocketpack HB) to date! The execution and quality are stellar. Edited August 8, 2010 by MINI_MYTE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shamrock Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 (edited) Oh, wow. Thanks a whole bunch everyone! This reception is absolutely amazing. So, do I have to top it now? Bob: You shush. Your batch of Hellboy customs are amazing. They're like a perfect blend of the Mignola character designs, and something that would be likely to be produced by DST. Also your Johann has a real glass head! How cool is that!? Nugget: Glad i could help! Bob again: Luckily, now that I've made evil exes 1-6, I can do number 7, then Ramona and other characters which have more than jeans and a t-shirt. We'll be seeing swords, knives (including a girl names Knives), giant hammers, roller blades, massive scarves, and so on!

Bob Harris Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Thanks a lot. You used a different style, just as you said. I tried to do a mix between Mignola and regular 'mate designs, but your one step further really did it. I'm not kidding, this is one of the best things I've ever seen mate-wise. And I saw a lot of Luke's stuff. (And Boyd's. And Punisher's. And... ) I won't be checking your new customs in the next days, since I haven't finished book 5 so far and I don't want to get spoiled. Also your Johann has a real glass head! How cool is that!? And I won't tell you what this sentence might mean in German. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jatta Pake Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I must add my kudos to the Hellboy Minimate. You perfectly blended Mignola's unique style with the overall Minimates asthetic. It doesn't look like a production Minimate simply because it is too good! I'm not sure Art Asylum could capture that blend in fifty attempts. Amazing work!

mini nugget Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 noticing you and bob comparing hellboys, i must say (and i'm sure others will agree) that they are both some of the best not only minimates, but custom anything in general if that makes you both feel better also look forward to seeing more scott pilgrim things, especially as i'm still waiting for the books to be delivered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eclipse Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 everyone has pretty much said what i would have but when i saw your hellboy like everyone else it dead stooped me in my tracks i spent quite a while drooling over it- its a beutiful piece of art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Duse. How the Hellboy (get it) do you paint like that? It's AMAZING! It's like he's from the comic, and stepped out for a few minutes to kick some butt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 (edited) Well, the big secret is pretty much having the comic right next to me as I paint. 80% of him is based directly off the cover to Vol2: Wake the Devil TPB. I guess just treating the minimate like a flat surface to directly copy the art as much as possible. for other parts like his sides or back I would flip through the book to find another reference spot, though in the end I was just kinda making it up, I guess having gotten used to the style. Basically: make oblong, blocky shadow, add lines coming out of shadow, add tiny lines everywhere. I think most of the left arm/side torso is made up. All in all it was kind of a headache. I think I want to try more artist-specific customs. The trick is coming up with art styles that would fit in well. Tim Sale comes to mind...

blacksun1520 Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 As all before me have said, Hellboy is FA-nominal! Punisher is one lucky guy. BS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 And as for a challenge Shamrock, how about Paul Pope's Batman from "Year 100"? With ceramic teeth and all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) Another commision! This time a Predator for BrobotC The shoulder cannon has 3 points of articulation And is also removable. I did try to make the wrist blades retractable and give the bomb-panel a hinged cover, but the scale was too small. Recipe: Normal Minimate body with Mark V Iron Man's left arm and legs Somebody's clawed hands (help me out on this one?) Modern Cylon waist piece and gauntlets Powerhouse chest piece A lot of cutting, sculpting, and scratch-building.

Shamrock Posted August 21, 2010 Author Share Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) Cool, thanks for clearing that up for me! And hey, anyone remember what I said way back in mid-june?

eclipse Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 WoW that is a awsome Predator if you dont mind me asking did you make that shoulder cannon or retreive it from somthing else? I have to know that cannon is wicked!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 It's 100% scratch built. The arm is just random pieces of plastic with styrene rods and tubes used to make articulation. The Gun is the front of some G.I Joe gun I think (movie Destro?) sculpted over and a hole drilled into the bottom the size of a minimate hand peg.
