I guess I can start off by sharing some of my Marvel Work.
AVENGERS ASSEMBLE.... Steve Roger's Captain America Protocide Bucky Captain America Thor Thunderstrike All of these are my take on the heroes and not taken from any comic... but more as they would fit in my fanfics. |

I did the Roger's version when the figures first came out and gave him MLS Cap hands and feet as well as a head from TriGateCreations.
The Bucky Cap has the abdomen and crotch of a Cap figure with the chest of Bucky (as well as legs, arms and head). Protocide is a straight repaint, aslo done back when the figures first came out. |

That is true, but in story he is more of a 'dark soldier' and that is why he has no blue, but instead red, white and black.

Now to add a little X to the mix...
Here are my Scott and Jean Summers, along with Anna Marie and Kitty. Scott is MU figure with the blue darkened and a TriGateCreations head. Jean is a simple head swap (MU Jean on a MS Marvel body) and paint. Same for Rogue (Agent Helix head on MU Jean body). Kitty is a TriGateCreation Body with Barroness arms & legs and a Supergirl head from DCUIH. Hope that you like. |

Ok, I am an honest person and an artist. When I create a piece I look for honest and most constructive response, not just a "good job" and a "pat on the back".
Overall they are pretty average. I really do admire the effort, since I have a box full of seperated figure parts just waiting to become figures once again. I think that you could work on your painting skills along with piece selections for certain figures like Vision and Captain America (Bucky). I think you have a TON of great customs started. My suggestion is to go back and repaint and sharpen the lines and work on paint application techniques, they are a bit rough. (Also, if available use a better camera to show your work off, we really want to see 'em.) Good work and continue to wow us.

Over the last year, I've seen much improvement already.

i agree completely. parts selection is also a matter of opinion and personal preference. some good counsel from johnnyakiba however without knowing where a person is in their growth as an artist a blanket statement such as,"work on your painting skills." is a bit of a cavalier response because...he IS working on his skills. just my two cents.

I do appreciate honest comments that will help me know. You both have been sounding boards for my growth (along with others). As far as parts selections go. I know that having a larger selection allows for a better base in the customs being made. That being said, I use what I have and try to find a way to use it that is identifiable as the custom character and yet my own take on that character. I do need to work on my painting... and have started to use devices and tricks to help with that. I hope to continue to grow and improve. Thank you to everyone for the comments. I hope to have a few more up this weekend, as I am working on some of the Crew as well as the DotD and the Bronze Tigers. |

First up for today is Smilidon - one of my own created characters... think what would happen if Graydon Creed (Sabertooth's son) had his own mutant child? You might get a more feral and viscious mutant... Smilidon (its a pre-historic large cat along the lines of Sabertooth Tigers).
Next is my tweaks to Venom from the new Spider-Man line. I cracked the lower torso and inserted the T-bar from the MLS Venom to give him articulated legs. |

the new legs (MLS) are more veiny... so that is something I need to look into possibly changing.

just like madonna's arms
i got an idea for your smilidon. get a brown gundam detail pen. it would be great for adding a little detail around the teeth and gum areas. they are easy to use, very forgiving and the lines can be cleaned up/removed with a pink pearl or white eraser |

Thank you for the input and advise. I hope to continue to grow and learn. I was advised to use a piece of plastic to help 'sharpen' my lines. Do you think that may help? I have a shakey hand, so I have tried to be slow to keep down the smears and such that go with that. As for the part selection... i normally try to use what I have and see if it will work, or throw it aside for awhile.
Thanks again for all the comments. I hope to continue to grow and improve. HEY, I would rather have people give me things to work on instead of "sugar coating" them...right?
