Missing Link added 11-14!!

[customnova]

Here is my Missing Link. I sculpted the knee and elbow pads, the waist band higher (but left the articulation). The head was a Hawk, I sculpted the hair and mustache beard combo deal. The torso was a ripped heavyweight so I sculpted that as well.

I'm not fond of the drybrush look that I did on it, but I thought flat black was really bland. I haven't sealed it yet either, just realized that after I uploaded the pics.










Here is a Rick Rude based upon the early to mid 80's when he was in Memphis feuding with Randy Savage.

I really like the tights/boots and even the chest hair, but the eyebrows & stache look like they need a lil fixing up.

this is a really good custom
nice smooth painting and the chest hair is done well
but I agree about the eyebrows and stache that they need to be done better
but its still a good custom

The skintone looks great. The pants paint is awesome too. You got alot of potentiol. Hope to see more from you..

[customnova]

Thanks for the comments. I have a few more that I will be finishing in the next week, so check back for more updates.

I love the tights. Zebra print is a bitch to paint.

The hair could use another coat of paint towards the front where it goes over the forehead because it looks like you got some skintone colored paint where the hair is supposed to be. The chest hair is good. But it would look even better if you added some highlights of skintone and white..and then some lowlights of brown or black.

I really like this. I have been wanting to make a Rick Rude for the longest time.

You might be right about the hair. I had an issue with my sealer so that could be part of the problem on the face. Quick tip for everybody, if it dips down to 39 degrees farenheit, don't let you sealer sit on your window sill. It tends to gunk up a bit.

awesome custom ,love the way those tights turned out I bet it was a bit dificult to do

[customnova]

Thanks for the comment. The Zebra stripes are easier to do if you get reference materials. I literally sat at my desk with a stack of zebra pictures.

I def like the bottom half.

I'm not much on painted skintones though. If I was you, I'd have just stuck the top of his CS figure onto your custom painted lower and added on the chest hair.

I updated the first post with The Missing Link!

[cmatarizzo]

Both look really good. A little bit of cleaning up to do, but both are wicked figures..

[redsword1]

not bad at all good job

Repaint the Link's gear with just black.

[MaskedSuperstarFan]

Good job overall. Didn't the Missing Link only have his face painted as opposed to his entire head? Still, a good job, and that was a smart move using a Hawk head.

I thought it was his whole head sans the ears, but I could be wrong. It's been a while since I last watched one of his matches.

I think this figure turned out quite nicely. I like the head and such. I'd just paint the tights, pads, and boots solid black though and update the pics after you seal it. Good work.

[customnova]

Thanks for the replies. I am going to repaint the drybrush black. As I stated before, I am not fond of it.
