what i've been up to [update]

[chinese_chicken]

it's been ages since i've posted a custom here, and since my customising roots pretty much began here i'd just thought i'd keep you guys updated on what i've been up to.

deviated away from wrestling customs for quite some time, my most recent works are a set of 7 playmobil figures i did up for a local arts show. entitled "a curious panorama of corporate utopia", it chronicles the struggle between 2 factions, The Corporation and Rebel 'R' Us.

sculpted with epoxy putty, and ya i did go a lil crazy with the pics. and just so this still kinda belongs on a wrestling customs forum, heres a work in progress i've been toying around with. it's edge in his old school brood attire. guna be interesting working in this scale.

cheers all

come back to the darkside brotha we need you man !!

[Sandy]

haha...Corporate Chink is amazing..

all of these are amazing..I love the Edge so far..this elbowpads look a little thick but I trust your judgment as you were simply the very best when it came to wrinkles and elbow/knee pads..

good to see you post here again...First Baity..now you.. I'm just waiting for Tee to pop up now..

[Gore]

Those are all very cool. The Heartland one reminds me of Christopher Walken for some reason.

It's cool to see you back doing cool stuff. If Tee came back, we'd just see some really perverted naked barbies like he was doing when we all last saw him. haha.

[adrione]

So cool , that is what I call fine art !

WHich clay or putty do you use?

[Gonzo Customs]

Welcome back once again Daniel. Great to see you posting more stuff. Your Edge is coming along nicely. I love the kneepads, wrist bands and elbow pads along with all the wrinkles added to the tights.

Your Curious Panorama of Corporate Utopia is great stuff. What are the base for those? Legos? The detail involved in these is just spectactular, glad to see you have broadened out and are doing some great stuff. Post more soon.

[biohazard]

They look to be playmobil figures Gonzo.

These all look great C.C.
It's pretty tough to give responses to things like what you have done here, because they look so good that you can't really compliment them without sounding trite. Still, great work. Don't be a stranger.

[TheXtremisT]

really really nice customs
you're really good at sculpting, you could get a job for a toy company
it'll be interesting to see how that edge comes out

[cmatarizzo]

Love them all..

[Grapple Arcade]

blast from the past.

Nice work on the Utopia set, very lush, are they all original designs and ideas? or is it something in the states that i dont know about?

either way, very nice and welcome back.

[chinese_chicken]

thumbs up for the crits guys.

Sandy: i do agree with you. those DA style arms are massive and they carried over to the build n brawl sculpts. in hindsight i should have sanded down the arms before sculpting over.

Gore: yanno i never realised that before. i think its the hair and the crazy eyed gas mask. Tee was the one that more or less showed me the ropes for customising so it'd be great to see him come back again. but yea, he loved them nekkid ladies.

adrione: i use plumbers epoxy putty to sculpt. you can get it at most diy stores and its basically a 2 part compound that you mix and air dries in abt an hour.

Great Gonzo: thanks chum, biohazard is right, the bases of the figures are from playmobil, they're around 2 1/2 inches in height.

biohazard: appreciate it! as goes with my schedule i'd be lucky to finish the edge custom, but i do check out the forum from time to time

foxeth: they're all original designs based loosely on the concept that in life, everyone puts up a front or facade (which is why all of them have concealed faces). the chum represents the notion that once stripped down to our basic elements, money is the driving force behind most of our actions.

appreciate the comments!

Awesome sculpty work man.

[Keyboard Cat]

Is that the BnB1 Edge or a custom attire DA Edge?
Those little figures are awesome, too. I'd love to own stuff like that.

[Deep Shadows]

I'm looking forward to seeing the finished product with the Edge. It's looking great so far.

Wow, I'm loving those of a curious panorama of corporate utopia. Those are wicked. My faves are Corporate Champ and Corporate Chimp. You're extremely talented.

[The Canadian Killer Deen]

that is insane!

the detail u put into this bnb edge is amazing

cant wait to see it finished

as for those other works of art i have no idea what they are but they look amazing

to this day i still look at your piper and yoko hope to see more incredible pieces from u in the future

[chinese_chicken]

much love everyone

John Bender : as some have mentioned, it's a bnb scale edge that i'm working on

dunno if it's appropriate to post it here, but i've more or less finished sculpting this bad boy.



i'm not sure what it is about this scale that makes me wanna cram in every conceivable detail; it's not really visible since theres still some cello wrap under the neck (i use that so after sculpting the hair it retains the neck articulation), but i sculpted a tiny pukka shell necklace like he used to wear. still considering if i should sculpt in the tights pattern since i forsee painting this to be a killer.
