luke314pi Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Wow, it has been a while since I have posted any new customs! I have been busy with my baby boy, and I also finished my masters degree. But I have been able to get a bunch of customs done in the last few weeks, some commissions, and some for myself. Here are three new ones: Annihilus Annihilus's wings are made from sheet metal and Super Sculpey, as well as his shoulder armor. Miss Marvel Miss Marvel's belt is cut from sheet plastic. Genis-Vell (Captain Marvel) The hair is a modified Nightcrawler hairpiece, and the stars were painted on with a toothpick. I will also have a set of four new minimate customs on display at the upcoming CustomCon in April. I am also sporting a new avatar. I look forward to your comments!

boyd Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Wow - I really like how you did Genis' starry look - great job! And I'm glad that someone was able to get some customs done for CustomCon this year - I look forward to seeing them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadpool Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Wow - I really like how you did Genis' starry look - great job! Ditto. They looks great! Annihilus is awesome too I think Ms. Marvel is just a hard character to do though. It's not bad, just not WOW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpheon Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 You just keep raising the bar higher and higher for the rest of us. Great work and well worth the wait. Echo, sir! Very good; though I've found that Super Sculpey can be brittle even after drying--how fragile are Annihilus' wings, if I may ask? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nervous Rex Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 I have been wanting to see a Captain Marvel done like that forever, absolutly awesome, looks perfect. BS I agree with this 100% I have been wanting to do a Captain Marvel for quite some time, but just too chickenshit to attempt it, now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to steal your work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted March 14, 2007 Author Share Posted March 14, 2007 Thanks guys! I've found that Super Sculpey can be brittle even after drying--how fragile are Annihilus' wings, if I may ask? Most of his wings are made of sheet metal, with a small amount of sculpey around the top and sides for decoration. After baking the sculpey, I also put a coat of superglue over it before painting, to make sure it stayed strong. So the wings are pretty strong since they are mostly metal. If the wings had been ALL sculpey then I would definitely worry about their structural integrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've been a busy man!) Thanks! They are all hand painted. I have yet to try using decals. I might try it out someday, but for now I am happy with my methods.

TENIME_art Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Hey, mods, can I swear uncontrollably to express how unbelievably amazing Luke's customs are? No? Guess I'll have to settle for a very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antacost Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 All of them look great Luke... Marvel is definately a shining stand-out to your portfolio. Super, super nice work there... How long did he take to paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 Marvel is definately a shining stand-out to your portfolio. Super, super nice work there... How long did he take to paint? Thanks! I would guess that Captain Marvel took around 2 hours to paint, plus about 15 minutes for shaving down nightcrawler's hairpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
