TBT! Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Wow I really like some of these they are Awesome man... I love that Rorschach, Iron Fist, deadpool and Snake. Care to share tips like what sort of paint was used or if you had any issues so far? T. Quote
Alpheon Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Holy amazing!! Those are GREAT; no wonder they're paid for! Really, really good. Really. I'm trying terribly hard to come up with a critique...but can't seem to find anything. Actually, the one and only thing I'd change is Rorschach's face. Seems a little too elaborate--I, personally, would pick a simpler blob pattern, but he still looks like Rorschach. All-in-all, spectacular! Quote
Deadpool Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 You big jerk! How dare you hide all that greatness? Really, those are SPECTACULAR. Gonna do the other Watchmen? I bet that Dr. Manhattan Would work pretty well. Seriously, great work! Quote
minivenom Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 Amazing work! Those look official. I second TBT's request to know what kind of paint you used and any prep work you do etc... Quote
ARE-JAY Posted September 28, 2008 Author Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the comments guys =) I really appreciate it! I use regular acrylic paints that can be found at Michaels, Walmart etc. I think they are like $.97 each?!?! They take a few coats but its worth it. Anyways, all my customs start with a concept drawing (see my other thread) then I prime the mugg, sketch the design in pencil, do the outlining in black paint, then paint the colors =) After I'm done I spray em with a matte acrylic sealer. Its actually really easy painting muggs and I'd encourage anyone to try it. I'll try and take some work in progress shots next time. *** I added Aayla to my original post =) *** Edited September 28, 2008 by ARE-JAY Quote
Twisted Two-Face Posted September 28, 2008 Posted September 28, 2008 All i can muster to say is un-freaking-believable. Great job, Are-Jay! Quote
Alpheon Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Uh-oh. Secura, Sunfire, Iceman, and Rorschach pics have disappeared. Quote
ARE-JAY Posted September 29, 2008 Author Posted September 29, 2008 LOL Sorry. I moved pics in my photobucket around I forget that the links break. They should be fixed now =) Quote
The_Donster Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Dude, those are great. How long did it take for each? Keep posting some pics of your work, your making me rethink this whole Mighty Muggs craze Quote
Twisted Two-Face Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Hmm...It might be very interesting if you also found a way to edit the box art to match the Mugg. That would be very cool. Perhaps the blank-white?? Quote
boyd Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Man, those are nice. Really, really nice. Great work on the details and keeping the "feel" of the Muggs. Got any more you want to show? Quote
ARE-JAY Posted September 29, 2008 Author Posted September 29, 2008 Got any more you want to show? Someone actually ordered 8, yes 8 from me lol! So expect some pics of those as they are finished =) Currently working on Magneto... Quote
Pete Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Those are unbelievable!! Great work... think you've inspired me to give it a try. Quote
ARE-JAY Posted October 1, 2008 Author Posted October 1, 2008 Updated with a pic of Magneto, hope you guys like him! Quote
Twisted Two-Face Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Updated with a pic of Magneto, hope you guys like him! And we do! Sweet eye-shading, Are-jay. Those are the kinds of evil/maniacal details we love. Quote
F1sh10 Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Hey, i saw on your ebay auction that you had a Mugg head of Grey-Fox. it looked like him anyway, did you make one or is that a future creation? if so, DEFINITLY make it, that would be awesome! Quote

I've actually only done the concept art for him but hope to turn him into a custom soon =) Glad you liked him. Your Frankenstein is pretty sweet! Anyways, updated post with Classic Batman! Edited October 2, 2008 by ARE-JAY Quote
F1sh10 Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Oh snap! That Batman is awesome!!! Yea, though the Grey Fox would be awesome, in all honesty if you wait a little bit you can use the Storm Shadow sword. Keep up the great customs, your already my favorite customizer, you make all the characters i love! Quote

How much do you want for him?! Seriously, that would have to be one of the only muggs i would buy, and i hope they make one. Classic Batman has been one of my favorite costume designs from the JLU Series and the Minimate, and a mugg would be awesome to have (Do you hear me, Hasbro? ) Nice work. Quote
gambitron Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 Seriously frakkin amazing! I would love to have that Deadpool, how much do you charge for these? You got some serious talent. Wow. . . . . . just wow. Quote
boyd Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 That classic Batman is gorgeous. You have the knack for making great customs. Quote
ARE-JAY Posted October 8, 2008 Author Posted October 8, 2008 Thanks everyone for the comments =) Updated pg 1 with Apocalypse and Nimrod. Gambit, Cable, and Bishop will be up soon! ... Quote
MiniFiend UK Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Great muggs Just seen your Flash over on the lounge as well nice work again. Quote
