My First Customs (x2 Mutoh & Muta) Please be kind

[v3dderpj]

Thought i would give it a go, please be kind as these are my attempt as customizing

Started with something simple

Classic Keiji Mutoh


Simple re-paint of a Ring Rage 34.5 Ric Flair with a Funaki Head
The open hand was perfect for his salute/looking far away pose

(The head isn't perfect i know, but couldn't think of any other to use without modifying or scuplting)

Next

nWo Keiji Mutoh (Chain Link Fence & Brick Wall / No Sweat I Am Boss Attire)



Everything is painted except for the NO SWEAT & I AM BOSS text, just couldn't get it to look right so i used print-outs

With hand scuplted IWGP 2nd Gen Belt i purchased from Crossfire years ago

Ring Rage 34.5 Ric Flair with Funaki Head

and Finally

The Great Muta (Death Match with Great Nita Attire)



Sadly my camera didn't pick up the pants properly, their white with a dry brush of pearl over the top, gives it a slightly metallic look.

Funaki head with RA 31 Ric Flair Torso & Ring Rage 12.5 Bischoff legs

There not perfect i know but i like them, seeing as how Jakks probably never will make a Mutoh/Muta

You serious? There friggen amazing! wow good work man, join the custom competitions..

[CMC]

very good customs the only prob is on the mutoh it just looks like funaki in different attire but your painting skills are awesome

yea it does unfortunatley like i say, couldn't think of anyone else to use without sculpting (which i haven't tried yet) or re-painting skin tones, something i need to work on, along with painting text, i just can't get it looking neat, harder than it looks

Heated the RA kneepads up with a hair dryer (make them more stretchy)

[NYdream™]

Wow. You got great painting skills man. Once you get skintones, sculpting and text down you could be great. Just keep working and I will be looking forward to seeing more of your work!

[ecwrulez]

they are just simply awesome 10/10 on all them

[T-Phunk]

The detail on the tights (both of them) is amazing. Like people said, unfortunately the first one and the second one's head just ends up looking like Funaki without doing some modifications.

wow you are amazing at making customs. how did you paint on the lettering so perfectly? what did you do it so perfect? also i have a suggestion for both of the keiji mutoh's faces. you should lower the eyebrows and make him look just a little meaner. plus on the second one you should maybe give him a full beard like he use to have. AWESOME customs man.

[aznmunkey1]

I dont know who they are but i think you did a great job.

[sw85]

I believe he used decals

I always enjoy a good Muta/Mutoh custom. These are done quite well. I've done the kneepad over kneepad thing before and it's a pain, but looks good once done right. I like how you did that instead of painting on the under kneepad like I've seen people do in the past. Great job overall on all of these. Welcome aboard.

Thanks for the replies guys ! I just ordered me some sculpey so i'm gonna give some scuplting a go next, probably gonna make a Spider Muta next

[Sandy]

[spawnsyxx9]

The paint jobs are top notch. I will say that just work on actually sculpting faces and you should do great. I see that you orderd some so great for you man.

[jcsix]
