NorthRaider Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 That face! That hair! Those arms! Awesome! I really like the interesting artistic direction these entries are taking... my initial impression was that we'd be seeing mostly B&W comic entries here (Sin City, noir comics etc.), but seeing a lot of interesting customs here taking their cue from old movies and stuff really has me pleasantly surprised Quote
groundhog7s Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 my initial impression was that we'd be seeing mostly B&W comic entries here (Sin City, noir comics etc.), That's just because mine isn't finished yet. I chose the noir path (somewhat). Just running out of time to finish it. Quote
Mattallica Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 that Jack the ripper is f'ning sweet! Quote
SErge Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 I love that bride of Frankenstein, very very well done!! Quote
Mystery Man Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 (edited) Huge Universal Monsters fan and that Elsa Lanchaster Bride of Frankenstein looks like something that was actually made. It's really really fantastic! And that Jack the Ripper is creepy as hell! I like all of the entries and know for me it'd be tough to choose a winner. I'd love to see a Rod Serling... or a Harry Lime from The Third Man. Edited January 27, 2009 by Mystery Man Quote
Nessex Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Hi gang, here is my entry, it is Charlie Chaplin. This is the second one I made, the first one was just too dark, and all the detail was lost. I also included the photo I based it from. Hope you like REALLY impressive effort buddy. Did you give him 3" minimate feet to simulate Chaplin's over-sized shoes? Quote
groundhog7s Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Here's my entry, Wesley Dodds, the Golden Age Sandman: Here's one of the reference photos I used from Sandman Mystery Theatre (3000): I used to love these covers, but couldn't get into the book (when I bought the first issue, I couldn't figure out where all of the Endless were).

NorthRaider Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Not too familiar with that comic, but I LOVE IT! He looks so perfectly character-accurate! And the gas mask is awesome. Quote
Bob Harris Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 It's getting better and better! And I do learn a lot here. Since I'm an absolute beginner in customizing - check the signature - the possibilities I do realize, one can do with those little fellows are steady increasing. Next to do is getting some of this Scupley or Milliput stuff (depending on what is available here)! Three days to go, I wonder if there is anything else coming that will blow our collective mate-affine minds! Marvelous contest so far! Quote
Nervous Rex Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 REALLY impressive effort buddy. Did you give him 3" minimate feet to simulate Chaplin's over-sized shoes? ZArox is right, they are the original minimate feet, and its the exact reason I went with them...glad someone noticed, lol. on a side note, I think this is a great idea for a contest, I love all the different customs and ideas so far. I think it gave us a reason to stray away from the normal type of customs we all like to do...Hey Boyd, you know whats funny, when you said yours would be done in a few days, I tried to think of what you were going to do, and I was close, I had a feeling it was going to be young frankenstein. No reason why, but that was my guess Quote

Reideen1313 Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 Not too familiar with that comic, but I LOVE IT! He looks so perfectly character-accurate! And the gas mask is awesome. It is worth picking up a TPB or two. (Or all - that's what I'd really recommend) Matt Wagner is one of the best writers in the business IMO. Quote

No reason why, but that was my guess That's eerie. I've always thought about creating a Bride Minimate every Halloween, but I've never mentioned it to anyone. Stop reading my mind Quote
antacost Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Just out of curiosity (and my stupidity), is the deadline Saturday NIGHT by Midnight, or Friday NIGHT by Midnight? I think I'll be able to get my entry done either way, but there's some stuff I want to redo? Thanks. Quote

Punisher Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) Here we go: "Night Strike" Punisher reference pics: Check out my custom thread for some cool "photoshopped" pictures Edited January 29, 2009 by the punisher=D Quote
Mattallica Posted January 29, 2009 Posted January 29, 2009 Here we go: "Night Strike" Punisher wow, i've noticed you "re-doing" quite a few of my customs lately but now you're even stea....ah using the names i've come up with, i guess im flattered -M Quote
Mattallica Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) You made a Superman not a Punisher... im talking about my "night strike punisher custom", that i made back in 8/08 (on page 9 of my customs list) you know the one, anyway, nice job -M Edited January 30, 2009 by Mattallica Quote
Punisher Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I remember that custom, but i don't keep a handy dandy list of everybody on this boards customs and their names, so i didn't know you used (i will bet my life you and me arent the only ones to ever have those three words pop in our head at the same time) that name. Besides, even if you made it up, i doubt you copyrighted it, because the country i live in says that if something isn't copyrighted i can pretty much use it in any way, shape, or form. But anyways, i apologize M for ticking you off for the second (?) time on this board. (I wasn't being sarcastic there...) Quote
MiKeKinD Posted January 30, 2009 Posted January 30, 2009 I didn't think I was gonna get it done in time, but here's my entry, a Zombie! I really enjoyed taking a crack at this guy, it was challenging, but it eended up coming out really neat. I'm even considering future customs in this style! Best of luck everyone! Quote
NorthRaider Posted January 31, 2009 Posted January 31, 2009 hee hee, neat zombie. Simple, but real nasty Quote
