Bob Harris Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Hi and thanks for stopping by! I don't have enough free time on my hands to do as much customs as I'd like to, but I'll list up what I produce now and then in here. So have fun and please feel free to comment, criticize or even praise me to the skies! Vielen Dank, Bob. (Click on the thumbs to see the custom.)

Bob Harris Posted December 11, 2008 Author Posted December 11, 2008 OK, since Watchmen is one of my all time favorite narrations, I'd love to minimaterize its characters. Dr. Manhattan Jon Osterman as Dr. Manhattan is for sure the easiest one, so I started with him. I used the translucent blue SDCC 08 blank mate an some decals for his face and chest. The black suit in the second pic belongs to Movie Tony Stark. This is the regular Dr. Manhattan without wearing any pants, like he usually does. Dr. Manhattan as he appeared in the talkshow on TV. And finally on Mars with the photograph in his hand. This is actually one of my favorite chapters in Watchmen, because the way Moore allows the reader to participate in Jon's way of seeing things is truly amazing! Quote
TBT! Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Awesome job there Bob! Sometimes it's harder to get the simpler characters right but you nailed it! I want one T. Quote
karamazov80 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Wow, that is a pretty great idea. Dig the Mars dio. Quote
Shanester Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Thats a great custom of a great character. Nice work indeed! Quote
Deadpool Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Who would you like me to kill to get that from you? SERIOUSLY. Amazing work. I LOVE it. Quote
Bob Harris Posted December 11, 2008 Author Posted December 11, 2008 Thanks a lot for the compliments! But I guess nobody has to kill anyone here - although Jon might say "A live body and a dead body contain the same number of particles. Structurally, there's no discernible difference. Life and death are unquantifiable abstracts.". If you get yourself a translucent blue mate, I might be willing to give you the decals I used... Quote
Dan Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 That is one hell of a custom! Nice work. Makes me want Watchmen mates all the more! Quote
Glantern Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Wow dude. that guy looks pretty sweet. I might have to upgrade my Manhattan to the suit and tie look. Quote
NorthRaider Posted December 12, 2008 Posted December 12, 2008 Wow, that is wicked awesome! Neat idea using the translucent blue blank, certainly fit Dr. Manhattan's "unearthliness"! Quote
Bob Harris Posted December 14, 2008 Author Posted December 14, 2008 (edited) Wow dude. that guy looks pretty sweet. I might have to upgrade my Manhattan to the suit and tie look. Hey, I didn't find your customs when I was brwosing the forum for Watchmen a few weeks ago. Nice work you have there, Glantern. I guess Rorschach and Blake will be my next customs, but Nite Owl II will be pretty difficult to realize. Edited December 14, 2008 by Bob Harris Quote
wtf this isn't Sparta Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) I have never seen something more beautiful. Holy shit, I... I don't even know what to say. Edited December 26, 2008 by wtf this isn't Sparta Quote
Bob Harris Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) Not really a custom, at least not a mate-realated, but you can see it as a teaser, since I'm working on other Watchmen: Post-mortem Comedian badge I made the yellow smiley badge and put the red ink on top of the finished badge, so it's a little more like the haptic curdled blood drop feeling. Up next are two Watchmen - one wearing black, the other purple pants - but right now both are in queue, because I'm trying to work on a mate for Luke314pi's awesome "Balck & White Contest" presented by his astonishing Minimate Factory.

Shamrock Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) That's a really cool 'mate. I can't wait to see the rest. The decals really capture the art. Edited January 18, 2009 by Shamrock Quote
Bob Harris Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) OK, here's my entry for Luke's Black and White contest: Sin City's Marv He's based on the movie interpretation of Miller's comic, because I wanted to use different shades of gray instead of pure black and white colors. I used The Question's coat and declas for Marv's head and chest. I don't remember to whom the hair originaly belonged. The hairpiece is from BSG's Helo. (Thanks Dan!) The right pic is a little inspired by this lithograph. Oh, and I couldn't resist trying this: Edited January 23, 2009 by Bob Harris Quote
Dan Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) Thatsd really cool Bob. Marv was such an awesome character. That hairpiece comes from Helo. (I should know, I have about 4 of him ) Keep up the good work. Edited January 21, 2009 by Dan Quote
Bob Harris Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 Helo! You're right Dan, thanks. And thanks for the compliments as well, folks! :biggrin: Quote
