groundhog7s Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Awesome stuff Luke, but can you list what all the new ones were? I can't come up with the total you had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I saw Hicks and Hudson from Aliens, along with the ones listed in the post. Also, TENINE is my hero! I'll be using every single one of those DC decals! Thanks TENIME and Luke! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) Lol, no problem. The grey on the transparent Mr. Terrific ones need to be darkened before printing. I just made them lighter, so darkening is simpler. The skin tones for the opaque Mr. Terrific is BSG Dualla & Firestorm is The Spirit The Octopus, just FYI. And, yeah, since most of the ones I make end up getting made by DST, I won't be doing many Marvel ones. I will be doing sunglasses for Agent Brand, though. But I'll be making ALOT of DC ones, since as far as we know, they're dead. Most of my Batman & Justice League ones are/will be Animated Series-inspired. Poison Ivy was designed off the white-skinned version. I didn't put a light grey in her eyes or lip shine, so if you print it up on clear paper, the fleshtone will come through. Just a warning. My work computer harddrive crashed, so not only did I lose Photoshop (and my ability to crank out at least two decals on my lunch breaks), but I lost my WIP Animated Series Jonah Hex. I was halfway done with his face. I hope I can get PS re-installed... Edited July 14, 2010 by TENIME_art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Update 08/12/10: Using a Sharpie to Straighten Your Lines It happens to the best of us – you are trying your best to paint a straight edge, but it ends up being just a tiny bit rough or crooked. So what do you do? Well, it depends on how “off” your edge or line is. You will have to repaint that area in some cases. But if things are only off by a tiny bit, you might be able to fix it with a Sharpie... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Nice topic Luke. It brings up a question I've wanted to ask for awhile-have you ever tried masking? If so, what were your results? If not, why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 Nice topic Luke. It brings up a question I've wanted to ask for awhile-have you ever tried masking? If so, what were your results? If not, why? That's a really good question, and I have never tried it. I can't really explain why I haven't tried it either. I think its time to go for it and post my thoughts/results on the Factory.

groundhog7s Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) Actually, I'm really glad to hear that you haven't. It's always been in the back of mind to make straighter edges by masking, but I figured it was never mentioned because it wasn't a good option. I look forward to your findings (so I can steal the technique if it works). Edited August 12, 2010 by groundhog7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I've tried masking, never had good results. But I think I need to find a better tape for the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninja Mate Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 ime, when customizing muggs, masking works great. but is very time consuming. might be even more difficult working with a smaller media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 Update 08/24/10: The Glue Experiment I decided to run a little experiment and test the performance of a few different brands of glue on some Lego pieces (which are notoriously difficult to glue). Who will emerge as the victor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 You should have tried Testors. I use exclusivly that. And hot glue. ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TM2 Dinobot Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 You haven't seen 300? Turn in your man card! Also, I'm still not convinced the lizard won't have removable pieces making his Kurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 I've tried masking, never had good results. But I think I need to find a better tape for the job. See if your hobby store carries FRISKET TACK PAPER. I've used it for masking for years and have had nothing but success with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luke314pi Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Update 09/21/10: Video: Custom Minimate From Start to Finish (Part 1) Over the weekend I had a rare occurrence of some free time, so I decided to start a video series on making a custom minimate from start to finish. I`m pretty sure your image of curt conners is from the amaglan universe so really thats not mainstream connors Ah, I didn't realize that. It was very hard to find a picture of Curt Connors online, so I was happy to find anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
