New Years Knock Down!! Winners pg 1

[Peace To The Gods]

First off I just want to tell everyone how sorry I am for not being able to compete, especially Gonzo. A lot of stuff has been going on in my life between my relationship and me ultimately starting to go back to college which I start tomorrow. Its just been a lot of stuff but I promise I will be back to competiting.


CW:

Matt Hardy: I really like this thing.. The head is pretty good and the sculpting looks great. I like the painting on it too, its got that dirty look to it. You pulled it off very well and im not one for liking customs outside of wrestling

Razor: Razor your a very good painter, no denying it. But I really would like to see more sculpting from you. Everything looks clean but just a little to basic for me parts wise.

Matt Hardy wins!


CW 1 Contendership:

Dave: Jushin is such a hard figure to pull off. I like your efforts for the challenge. Major props on trying to do it DA style considering theres all those moveable parts. The hair looks good but i dont care much for the mask. And I think the front logo on the chest if to big. But good job considering he is a difficult guy to create

Mystery: Wow, A yeti custom? I never thought id see one ever! It looks very good, Not so challenging in a way but it is very challenging. You pulled off the look well. Idk how i feel about this figure as a whole but I think it does edge Daves Liger

Mystery Wins

Sandy/Deen

Sandy: The head I really enjoy. Almost ever custom owen Ive ever seen the hair is never correct especially considering the era they chose to do of the man. Love the head, however I dont care at all for this pose you did him in.. Like you said the arms are a little off but yeah those r3 upper arms are huge! The knee pads are a little to chunky for my liking. Skintone looks pretty good though and the tights design is nice

Deen: Very slick paintjob, love that skintone and the tights are flawless to my eyes. The boots even look great. My favorite part is the pads and wristtape you captured those perfectly. I dont know how i feel about the head but its good enough. Nice touch with the old jakks trophy in there.

Deen wins

[Sandy]

thank you everyone for the kind words. I agree with the criticism. I promise to not f*** around so much next competition and actually put something worth putting out.

congrats to deen. Really good job on the Edge.

I really expected to see another trade marked big head figure from you, you suprised me lol

[biohazard]

It seems that whenever I try something that is not done a lot it gets bashed. (this style, 3 3/4 in etc)
Since this was a masked wrestler stip I should have popped a Hurricane Helms flex'ems head on a crappily painted RA body. I will take those positive comments into consideration next time I do a custom.

....thats for the next competition.

I'm going to hold off on the full head sculpts and MMA customs for competitions. I think I will just continue to make those for myself. Wrestling customs from now on.

The only person who bashed you was classic collector who's clearly a douche. I think if the pictures were better to get across the actual texture, it might have made a difference.

[biohazard]

I know. That post was not to you. I pm'd you because I thought you gave an accurate judgement. I would have voted the same way.

no need to get upset.

[biohazard]

I'm not upset. I took a jab back at him. I believe under a different moniker that particular judge did a head swap for a ppv custom. He has no clue, yet he is a judge. I probably would have voted the same way, but he chose to be a douche. We all no that I like to retaliate when I think people are being douches. Right?

[biohazard]

It got you back into customizing though. So some good came out of it.

Well just to let you know I was only in one match (a battle royal that Warsman won), and if i do recall you were in the match as well and by the vote's i came in second place. So whoever you think I am, you are mistaken.

[biohazard]

Oh, my mistake. So no showing your tag partner twice makes you qualified. Awesome. You are classy.

That wasn't me either, i've never no showed.

[biohazard]

Your first excuse was meeting a girl. The second time you didn't reply to pm's and were replaced by someone I think. Whatever the case is, I'm done with it. I'm done with you. Have a pleasant day.

Yea I backed out of a match weeks before the show due to having a personal life, thats far from a no-show. As for not responding to PM's thing - I have no idea what your talking about. Maybe if you spent more than five minutes wrapping a figure in wet toliet paper people would like your figure more.

Yeah even though I couldnt finish my custom for my match,
I would like to say well done to Dave10878 for winning and getting a shot at the title, hopefully In the further I can try and get a 1# contenders match.
I just like to say the reason I didnt finish my custom was because I am moving to New Zealand in february and it is harder than I thought so once again I am sorry.

Deen: This looks really nice, I like the sculpting work and the trophy looks great. Is this a Jakks accessory painted? I'm not familiar with all of the accessories. It looks damn fantastic. The abs look great, skintone is nice. For some reason, I feel like the tights could be a little sharper.. like the painting on the tights strikes me as kind of an afterthought after all of the rest of the work. But this is to par with the recent standard you've set for yourself.

thank u becca and it is indeed a jakks accessory
it was originally black with some silver lines around it

nice job to all.
imo deen has came along way in a short time

thank u so much import that means alot

Deen: I honestly think this is one of your worst showings, the stomach looks very very odd and the tights look like they were done in a hurry or something. Your still VERY good as doing the knee/arm pads though.

really?i think i have made things that were not half as good as this. i didnt think it was all that bad i knew there were flaws because i didnt use my time as effectivly as i could have but i didnt think this was one of my worst customs.

oh well thank u to everyone especially sandman i know the timing of ths match wasnt the greatest but i hope to face off with u some time where we can both use our time more effectivley

figured i would post the protos of this figure i would love to see other protos from everyone else that has them well enough with the talk here it is:
