Hey Guys. Got some spare time this week to make a custom of myself. Ive been wanting to do this ever since seeing GI EDDIEs custom and after seeing those cool Hasbro made Comic Con customs.
I made the figure using spare parts laying around. Unfortunately, the best head that I could find is Duke. I kinda have a distinct nose (ie BIG) so Im hoping eventually to find something a little bit better to match. I mostly used Rock n Rolls body...put the figure in blue jeans, a tshirt, white Nikes and layered shirts....since that is almost always how I roll. I almost always have a backwards ball cap on too. After the figure was done, I drew up a picture of myself and painted it in photoshop. I wrote the copy on the filecard too. Some of it is true...but it was mostly meant to be ficticious. Here are the pics.... Pic of me Cardart.... Finished front... http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...n/DSC02139.jpg Finished back... http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...an/samback.jpg Filecard... http://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g2...thsamback2.jpg Last edited by Wyo; 10-08-2008 at 03:28 PM.. |

You know I can read your name from the second picture.
And yet I can't make out your figure well. Ironic. |

Awesome stuff as usual. I like the last line of the file card the best. Got any close ups of the figure itself?

As far as the figure, like I said, It really doesnt look like me. It looks like Duke with brown hair and a black baseball cap! I wish I could get it to look more like me....like GI EDDIEs looks like him! I just keep checking Broken Arrow until I find something that resembles me somewhat. Ill post a pic of the real me later. The real challenge for me here was making the card...that was the reason I did this project. Im not the best custom figure maker! Wish I was! Thanks again guys! |
