It's been a long time since I last posted anything, but that's because it's been a long time since I've made a custom. I thought I'd share the 4 customs that I've kept, but am now selling (2 Snake Eyes and 2 Storm Shadows). I never shared these because I'm just not able to get the lighting right in the shots to actually show off how much work went into the shading and highlighting—especially Storm Shadow—white is really difficult to prevent from washing out the shading.
So, the first up is Snake Eyes. Nothing much in the way of heavy customization here. It's a great figure for an updated V1 Snake Eyes, and I only saw a few things that I wanted to tweak. Unfortunately, I can't get the lighting right to showcase the detail, but I tried my best to do so. eBay listing: Custom Snake Eyes by Cloud Strife V1 Me Redux Gi Joe 3 3 4" | eBay **I ended the previous listing due to forgetting a key piece of information in the listing's heading that I believe reduced the visibility of it on. I apologize if any if you had previously bid on it.** - I removed the elastic straps from the harness (I always thought they looked funny) - I removed the knife from his ankle, filled in the hole with apoxie and sculpted a little bit (close-up picture provided) - Added some mag pouches to the back of the harness to cover the peg hole for a 2nd sword sheath - Added a more true-to-scale knife in its sheath on the right shoulder of the harness (knife is not removable) - I repainted the entire figure doing a lot of dry-brushing to bring out the details of the sculpt Last edited by Cloud Strife; 07-14-2016 at 07:55 AM.. |

Hey Lance! Hope all is well with you.
I've just been busy doing life, man. I put away my paints and paint brushes, sold my entire Joe collection and all but 4 of my customs after my wife and I discovered she was pregnant with our 2nd daughter. I'm just now getting around to selling the last bit of what I have (which will include a TON of custom fodder). I thought I'd share pics of the remaining 4 customs even though my pics don't do them justice. |

Welcome back Cloud Strife. Your work has been a cornerstone of my inspiration and obviously many others! Glad you're doing well.
