mwattsart Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Here is a better picture of my minimate. I added a new chest design. Its of my 8-bit tie and a white button down shirt. It was printed with label paper and created in Illustrator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwattsart Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 The owner of the comic book store I buy all of my stuff from is going to allow me to display and sell some custom minimates at hos store. He likes the customs I made so far and told me I should sell them. I decided to make a new minimate just for the display. And here he is... Deadpool Pulp. The body, arms and legs are from a BSG 'mate. The arm wrappings and black parts of the mask were made in Illustrator and printed on label paper. The face is from The Man With No Name with the beard shaved off. The mask is the OMAC helmet with the fin looking thing cut off along with the bottom half. The knot on the back is from Kitty pride cut down to work with the sword holder for the back. The chest cover is from Molicule Man. The belt is from The Man with no Name as well, with parts from Cable's belt parts from his chest cover glued on. The feet are from Thor Reborn. The swords and the holder for them are from the Lego Daston from Prince of Persia. I shaved the handles down to fit the 'mate. The hair is from Kor from ST. And for anyone who has never seen Deadpool Pulp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Harris Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) Here's hoping you usually don't walk around with the gun. Very cool mini-me-mate! And since I'm not into the pulp series, I haven't seen Deadpulp, but your custom looks great! Very cool details and a really good recipe - I especially like that you 'shaved off' the beard! Well done! Oh, and good luck with seeling your customs! Edited October 5, 2010 by Bob Harris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwattsart Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 A tattoo shop in my town holds a zombie art gallery for Halloween. I am going to see if they will put this up. I figure it will be different enough to get some attention. The Michael Jackson zombie is mostly made from The Beyonder. The hair, jacket, legs and feet are Beyonder's. I can't remember what head I used, but the face was made in Illustrator with paint mixed to match for the arms and hands. The arms and hands were made from random parts. The chest piece is a repaint of Abomination's. I used enamel paint for this figure, which gave the jacket that slightly shiney look his had in the video. The two zombies right behind him are the Jockey and Hunter from Left 4 Dead(I'll give a description when I fix them up and have a good picture of just them.) The rest of the zombies are random zombies that I made for picture sets. I used a picture of an alleyway at night for the background. These little bastards did not want to stand up, and kept knocking the others over as they fell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwattsart Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 I looked at the red paint on the paper on my desk from making the Thiller MJ, and felt compelled to set this up. I made this Raizo minimate for fun. This is Raizo at the end of Ninja Assassin, during the final scene. His face and chest was done in Illustrator. I drew the hair on his face by hand. The legs are from Cloak. His feet are a repaint of the first Mr. Fantastic 'mate. The body and arms are repainted random body parts. I can't remember who's head I covered for the face. The hands are basic flesh tone. The hairpiece is a repaint of Whiplash.The swords are from the movie Deadpool. The blood he is covered in is all handpainted with enamel paint. The two dead ninjas are ones I custom made as well. Both have basic black bodies, arms and legs. One has the karate gi bottom from Ryu and the other has Akuma's gi bottom. One has the the arm pieces from Ryu, and the other has hands from Menace. One has a Unmasked Spiderman head cover cut down and repainted. The other has a cut down and repaint of Cpt. Britain.

luke314pi Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Very cool! I would also like to see more pics of the MJ zombie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwattsart Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 As requested, here are more shits of the MJ Zombie. I have him on that lego piece to have him stand easy on display. This is one of the minimates I plan to sell at my local comic book shop. The owner is the one who offered to sell some of them when I asked if I could display them. Here is the full group doing the Thriller. I did a zombie outbreak picture set when i first started getting into customizing mates earlier this year, so most of them are random. It's hard to tell in this picture, but the background printout is taped to a Golden Grahams box(Yay improvising!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mwattsart Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 I'm so excited right now! First, the comic book store I get all my comics from is displaying my MJ Thriller and Ash minimates. He's even going to try and sell them on Ebay, which was his idea. He is the coolest store owner I have ever met, and I've been saying that for years now. His store is called Comics on the Green in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Second, my Thriller picture and one of my cartoon zombies is going to be on display at a local tatto shop. They have what they call Night of the Undead every year. They also said to set a price if I want to sell the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwattsart Posted October 16, 2010 Author Share Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) I know I'm not the only person who saw the Namor and Atlantean Soldier set and thought about making this. The armguards, helmet and shield are from the Atlantean Soldier. The crotch is from The Man in Black from For a Few Dollars More. The legs are from Ellen from BSG. The feet are from first appearance Dr. Doom, with parts cut off. The cape is from M. Bison with the shoulder pads cut off. The arms are from Namor with the chest piece from Titanium Man. The face is was made in Illustrator and placed over a Kitty Pride head. Due to the thickness of the paper the helmet got stuck on the head, so used another printout over the Old Man Logan Hawkeye. The sword is a lego pirate sword cut to look like the Spartan swords. For the raised v shape on the shield, I used sticker paper and painted over it. I also carved parts away for the damage. I used a Dremel bit to get rid of the bumps on the shield. The hair is from Kor from Star Trek. Here's a comparison shot. And an Action shot...sort of.

Punisher Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 VERY nice! To all your customs! Only nitpick is for the shield, as great of a job you did, it's on the small side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwattsart Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) I gave him a spear. I used a Dremel to sand down the stick of the Lego spear. I used the same metalic gold paint as I did for his armor and helmet, which turned out to look more bronze. Also I fixed the feet. I used sticker paper painted brown for the straps on the feet since the paint job did not look right. VERY nice! To all your customs! Only nitpick is for the shield, as great of a job you did, it's on the small side. I could see that. I don't have the supplies to make any parts from scratch.

mwattsart Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) This was the first, and coincidentally, the last time that Leonidas was invited to play some movie character poker. Did this one for fun to see if I could get some artist blockage out of my head. Once again, Michael Myers is there. Killer loves himself some poker. We also have black suited Spidey and Mark IV Iron Man. Edited October 18, 2010 by mwattsart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
