Chazwinski Posted June 27, 2010 Author Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) Well, as most of you know, I am not adept at making customs. I just like designing them. However, I have really wanted a Black Canary minimate for a while. I just purchased a minimate custom on ebay because, I had no clue how I would do fishnets & the guy who made this custom did a pretty good job on them (at least in the photos). The thing that bothers me is that she doesn't have a jacket and she uses a Jean Grey head with green eyes instead of blue. I've decided to use a Silken Floss torso & blacken out the white lines. I also considered using a 90s Storm arms since they are poofy at top, but I'd have to paint more & I'm not so comfortable messing my Xtra Storm just for that (I'm still undecided). I'll be replacing the head with a BSG Pegasus Six which I feel has a beautiful face with blue eyes. I'm also getting a BSG Starbuck (long hair) to see how that hairpiece will look. I can't wait for all this to come in, so I can put it together and show some before and after pics. :biggrin: Edited June 27, 2010 by Chazwinski Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazwinski Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 I received my Black Canary custom in the mail as shown in the first picture. It's pretty nice but of course like most figures with real fish-nets, it looks better in the front than in the back. Still, the seller did a fantastic job to be working on such a small scale: However, I wanted her jacket, so I blackened out the white lines on Silken Floss. I also wanted a slightly different look. My Pegasus Six hasn't come in the mail yet, so I'm using Red Dress Six's head temporarily: What do you guys think of my changes? Does it look closer to BC?

eclipse Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Oh yeah -good touch with the jacket.with the fishnets is there a seam up the back how bad is it if you dont mind me asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Very neat trick with fish nets. What's the secret to applying those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chazwinski Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 Oh yeah -good touch with the jacket.with the fishnets is there a seam up the back how bad is it if you dont mind me asking The seam in the back is very wide, but the customizer did a good job of making it lay flat, so that the figure still looks good from the side, it only looks odd from the back. In his defense, even the official action figures of Black Canary that use actual fabric suffer from the same problem. Very neat trick with fish nets. What's the secret to applying those? I've been trying to figure out how he did it, but I haven't wanted to mess with the legs too much as the nets are so delicate, I'd hate to mess it up. You CAN move the legs in different poses, but it makes me nervous. I'd hate to rip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) That looks amazing. I especially like the Silken Floss chest. Then again, I would. Edited July 9, 2010 by TM2 Dinobot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastmaximal Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I think you both did a good job with the Canary! You've got a good eye for Minimate faces and hairpieces that suit the look. Also, good catch on parts combination for that Wonder Girl! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chazwinski Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) I was just looking at some of the differences in the Movie Superman costumes today, Here's the Christopher Reeve version next to the Brandon Routh version: Also Pam Ravenscroft from True Blood. I confess I don't know a lot about her other than sometimes she looks all Goth and sometimes all Avon-lady. I know she's Eric's progeny...that's about it.

Psyguy Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I have just looked through most of your thread from the beginning, and can't believe how many of your designs have been produced, and how similar they look to the official releases! Amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
