2002 Circa Steve Corino Custom

[Peace To The Gods]

For anyone that wants to know, I am taking summer orders only for customs. Hit me with a pm if your interested in something.. Anyway onto the custom..

Description/Story: Well Steve was my favorite wrestler from about 2001 all the way until about 2005. I was a huge Corino mark, and this custom represents my favorite era of Corino. Mostly inpart because he did several local indy shows in this scheme and played a terrific heel. When I think Corino I think of this attire.. This attire was also worn in Japan in his early Zero One years.. So well just call it 2002 Circa Corino.. I believe the japanese writing on his wrist tape is Colby in Japanese, but I could be wrong.. Now onto the figure... I wasnt thrilled with the hair but whatever, its semi-rushed for the SNME card but its a hard look to capture. Im pretty happy the way the fig turned out as a whole!

peace to the gods sorry for not bringing it all during our contest last month with nydreams also i had to rush one in.

Everything looks fine, but I'm not too fond of the head choice, but besides that it's pretty good.

As a big Corino mark myself I say this figure does him justice, great great custom.

I actually really like it.

The hair is horrible as you mentioned. You need to make it stringy. You could use some thread to indicate small strands of hair but put them in front of his face like this picture




Or you could simply sculpt extremely small strands and stick them to the front of his face. I love the head choice. So f***ing old school. I like the skintone. Very fitting for Steve Corino. I would have dry brushed some red with his skintone and painted it over his chest. I like the modding on his chest and on his wrist tape. It irritates me that you didn't do the SC on his trunks but you explained that his heel role during indy shows was your favorite era...so whatever. The boots are extremely well done. That was one of my favorite things when making a Corino, painting the boots.

Very well done overall. I would love to see you do a a bloodied Corino as I think he did some of the best blad jobs in the business.

i really like the body and boots you did a great job im not sure what it is but im not digging the head it looks weird to me but its not really bad. great job and keep up the good work

sandy: I appreciate your comments, I figured you would like the old school head cause it was from the old m2k nbt days and such.. Its the best corino head ever made if you ask me. However with the hair, I wanted to capture his entrance look, which is the wet slicked back look, which is just wet straight back.. I marked his forehead up with a blade to make it look like a head-wound from bladding, but it didnt show up well in the pics..I think the second pic I like the way the hair came but the rest I wasnt thrilled with.. my favorite part is the elbow pad, i finally executed the playable elbow pad.. I appreciate your comments a lot, coming from a guy I remember back in the day is just awesome

tm punk: glad you like it a lot..

purpleis: thank you very much..

That's really, really good, bro. The best custom I've seen so far. 11/10 Great work.

[Hammersmith Hardman]

That's really good. I always thought an X-Pac head would be perfect choice for a Corino.

gym slash: Thanks man, appreciate it

keano: I always thought his head was the best corino head choice ever...
