I love both of them.
You have very smooth painting. Very nice skintones.
I see some black on the kneepads of Steiner, though. Clean that up.The tattoo looks amazing. I love it.
Both customs are very nice. Your biggest weak point though is how you paint eyes. They look very unrealistic. When painting them I would suggest putting a drop of yellow in there just to darken it up and make it look more like human eyes and not like a f***ing anime character. I would then put some brown in your skintone mix and red...blend that s*** and then put it up above the eyelid...very lightly though...as well as under the eyes.
But other than that they both are nice. I love your work. Always have

These are both really good customs. The Steiner in particular is amazing. Great detail. On some of your older customs, the painting seemed a little rough to me, but here, its excellent. And the sculpting on the Dr. Death is really impressive. I might have tried to buy it if it wasn't semi-posed. I just don't get it. What did it add to take away the waist and leg articulation on this figure? I doesn't look more like Dr. Death just cause his legs don't move. In fact, I usually find that the extra sculpting necessary to pose figures makes their limbs and joints look weird. Anyway, great customs. Excuse my griping.

Great steve figure. I much preferred that attire to the bca version. I enjoy the head you have modded, its a nice choice. The scott is also decent. Did you use print outs on the boots or is it a textured paint job? The chainmail looks a tad off, but credit for the hand made approach.
Good work mate, you seem to be knocking out a lot of decent customs as of late

Does Dr. Death's legs and waist move?

Both are pretty good dude. Scott turned out really good. Not a fan of his head though. Never did like that scan. But I like the little thing you added to his beard though.
And that Steve is just amazing in general. No complaints here.

Thanks for the comments guys, and thank you sandman for the tips.
Steiner is fully playable. I don't like his real scan either, but I had it and went with it. I should have sculpted a bit on the stomach just above the waist as well. I've only had to paint the eyes a couple times as I always find a head with the right eye color and what not.
Williams only has neck and arm articulation. The reason I did semi posed is that I was going to do him fully posed but couldn't find a good positioning for the arms. I felt that leaving the articulation in the arms would also keep it being a figure and not a statue.
No printouts or decals were used on either figure. All hand drawn and painted.

Very impressive customs, I am in awe! I can't believe a Luger head would work but that is one badas$ Dr. Death. Expert sculpting and attention to detail on both customs. 10/10!

Looks good Gonzo, really diggin' the Steiner. I love everything about Scotty minus the eyes. The boots were modded nicely and everything was painted very well, tat included. Dr Death turned out well too, my favorite part being the head choice and mods to the head. Painting is all nice and clean as well, my only real gripe is that he looks to be leaning in an unnatural position. Nice job man, good to see you back.

Did you use DA arms on Steiner? Awesome paintjob, especially the detail on the boots, man.

Yes sir, DA arms on the Steiner. For those who asked, yes that is a Luger head on Williams.
