In case you haven't seen it, we're having a Best Customs of 2010 contest! I've no hope of winning, but it's an honor just to be nominated. You've seen some of the other things that I'm nominating already:

Best Marvel custom: Quasar

Best other comics custom: Grendel

Best tv/movie/video game custom: Strong Bad

For the others, since I needed to host the photos somewhere in order to email them, I posted them to my blog, and I'm adding them here. You can go to my blog for more information on these guys.

Best DC custom: Sandman

Best quick custom: Shanna the She-Devil

Good luck to everybody!

Hey - Clever QC with Shanna! good use of parts.

I like that you've given two-face the pocket watch to sinulate his coin :thumbsup:

Thanks, Nessex! I planned to do Shanna as soon as I saw the Natalie Romanov exclusive, but I think she turned out better then I expected. The 90's Jean hair and the Six face fit the character perfectly, I think. The necklace happened to be sitting in my parts box, and seemed to give her just the right finishing touch.

And I'm glad you like the watch/coin hand. :)

I just spent the morning making a large post to my blog with several Batman related characters. I'll eventually post the photos here, but right now I'm so burned out that I don't have the energy. So please, in the name of all that's good and decent in the world, I urge you to go to my blog and read the damn thing and justify all that !@#$ work!

Oh, you'll find a Red Robin decal there too.

EDIT: Photos.

Just posted my response to Bob Harris' blatant thievery, which I've addressed in his custom thread... go there to read more, see more photos, and read the formulas, but here they are, my Preacher Minimates:

EDIT: changed photo from an image link to an upload. Just looks better that way.

Spent a ridiculous amount of time doing another post today... gah... but I'm trying to get caught up on my backlog. And I couldn't wait to show off the Warlord I made yesterday. So here's a quick tour around the DC Universe, featuring some of my favorite customs:

Few more figures, plus an OMAC decal, in the full post.

Seems like someone sneaked into your hose, AGAIN, hellpop. You should really have a better security system installed, otherwise people will rip your custom ideas off again and again. :yes:

Otherwise, great customs! I really like that Warlord, good job on the loincloth. Are you still working on him? You mentioned possibly adding the chain and the shoulder thing. AoA Magneto's shoulder pads should work perfectly for that. And may I suggest painting the feather-things on his helmet white? Oh, and please do it before someonelese will do it! :whistling:

For the other guys, I'm not familiar with them, but I looked them up. Good job man! I really like how that Creeper turn out. And a very good parts selection for Omac. Well done.

Err... um... I guess MOC broke into Dr. Doom's castle, used his time machine to travel into the future, saw my custom, then went back and threw that together so that he'd be "first". That's the only possible explanation; after all, it's JUST NOT POSSIBLE that two people could have the same idea by looking at the same parts. :whistling: And what do we know about this Murder of Crows guy anyway? He's a Murderer! Of crows! And who doesn't like crows?

Yes, I know that a flock of crows is called a murder, so don't bother pointing that out. :no:

The AoA shoulder pad is a great idea! It's not a skull, but close enough. I've already got the chains, so that should finish him off nicely. Consider our feud officially ended. :highfive2:

I have a list of customs that I hope to make someday. I've had the list since I've started customizing, and it's constantly being updated with names added and removed. And there are names that have been on the list ever since I started because while I want to make them, I don't know how or don't have the inspiration. One of those names is the Ray. And now, looking at your Ray custom and seeing how I could do the helmet, I'm inspired to make him now and remove him from the list. Thanks!

Also really like for Alfred, too. Good choice on a face.

Thanks... but... as I mentioned in the blog post, where I go into more detail about these guys,... I completely stole the Ray from Lastmaximal. :blush:

You'll notice that most of my customs are from the DC Universe... well, here are some Marvel guys:

You'll notice that the Black Knight's not quite complete... well, you'll find the decal which will (eventually) finish him off, plus complete formulas, Database links, a snapshot of Ka-Zar with his award-winning bride, laughs, tears, and a whole lot of love... here.

EDIT: I was finally able to finish off the Black Knight, so here's the finished product:

I've done a huge amount of customs recently, as I explain here; I'm going to be posting a lot in the near future, but this one I wanted to show off all on his own. Behold the Blue Beetle, Jamie Reyes:

I'm afraid you'll have to go to my blog post for the decal I used and the secrets of his construction; I'm sneaky like that.

EDIT: changed the photos from links to attachments.

I really forgot to comment on your last batch of customs! So, Dominic Fortune looks great! Clever use of parts there. Really like it. Same with the Black Knight.

And for that new Blue Beetle: you already know that I'm not a DC guy, so I looked him up and I'm impressed man! Very cool job on him! :thumbsup:

Thanks guys! I appreciate all the kind words. I feel that I'm finally now getting to the point that I can tackle some more complex projects with some degree of success.

Anyway, as promised, I'm going to be rolling out the customs fast and furious for a few days, so here's a nice theme, the Secret Six:

You know the drill: formulas, decals, and general inane ramblings at my blog.

These look great, HP. But from the thumbnail, Scandal looks like she has an oversized mustache.
