boyd Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 CustomCon 15 wraps up today, and finally displays my entry. It's a group I've been working on for a while - the Legion of Doom from the Superfriends cartoon. They'll be added to my custom site in a few weeks, but you can check them out now: The Legion of Doom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Most of those are true production quality Boyd, that's some amazing work. My favourites are Gorilla Grodd - how the hell did you make him? and also I love the parka hood on Captain Cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reideen1313 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Excellent stuff Boyd!! (I've been thinking of using a spare Leader for an easy Sinestro custom - now I'll have to retire that idea as anything I do will pale in comparison to your professional quality stuff.... ) I HOPE we get the LOD from DCD. I'd even buy Toyman if he was in the assortment - especially if he was packaged with Grundy or Braniac. Capt. Cold is a must have - as is the rest of Flash's Rogues Gallery.

boyd Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 Thanks everybody! Glad you like them! My favourites are Gorilla Grodd - how the hell did you make him? Started with an LOTR Aragorn figure, and chopped off the legs right under the knees to give him that stubby look. I glued the feet to the leg stumps, and them used Sculpey to make his feet. His hands came from a KISS Minimate to give them a larger look, then Sculpey was used to blend them with the arms. His belly and facial hair is all Sculpey. I'll have better pictures when I add him to my customs site. I've been thinking of using a spare Leader for an easy Sinestro custom - now I'll have to retire that idea as anything I do will pale in comparison to your professional quality stuff.... I thought the same when I saw Mini-Myte's Sinestro custom a year ago. Give it a shot - you could create something great. Yeah I knew of those ones I just thaught it would be cool to see old timey Robin Aquaman etc No plans to do any of the other characters from the Super Friends right now, sorry.

Nervous Rex Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Love 'em all, especially the Lex, Brainiac, and Toyman. question...for the face decals, are they colored, or clear over painted heads? asking because the color match is perfect.

boyd Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 It must have been driving you nuts to be on the last day of the 2 week Custom Con. For a while I didn't think my entry had made it in time. I sent it in on the last day to register about 30 minutes before the deadline. I really need to stop procrastinating sometimes... question...for the face decals, are they colored, or clear over painted heads? asking because the color match is perfect. In some cases like Brainiac and Scarecrow are color printouts - I sometimes spend a lot of time making matching paint. Other ones, like Sinestro, use water-based decals, which is a lot easier.

antacost Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Damn! Those are some sweet, sweet customs. You never cease to amaze me Boyd. Nice work! I don't think I can pick a favorite, they're all so well done... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombieboyfiend Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Evertime I see Brainiac I think "decent pair of pants". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychopanda Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Legion of DOOM!! Yay! They are some of my favorite villains of all time. So now I know what you had planned when you menitoned old Brainiac. They all look great, but if I had to choose some favorites...I'd say Cheetah turned out amazing. Gorilla Grodd must've taken alot of time...but the most surprising to me was Toyman! I always forget about him since he didn't appear that often. All cool customs! Hey, looks like you're using some sort of CMS for your site now. Are you using Drupal? I really need to update my own site when I get time.

boyd Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 The Legion has been in the works for quite a while. Still had to rush to get them done on time, though... And I'm not using a CMS on my site - everything gets done by hand with Dreamweaver. Though I do like the looks of Drupal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TITAN Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I LOVE that Luthor, he's fantastic! Captain Cold, Braniac and Bizarro are pretty damn good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
