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 V2 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 V2 Me Redux Gi Joe | 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.** - Swapped the head sculpt - I swapped the knife for one that doesn't have an oversized handle (though the oversized one is in the last 8 pics, lol) - I repainted the entire figure with a flat black, did some dry-brushing to bring out the details of the sculpt, and painted other details Last edited by Cloud Strife; 07-14-2016 at 07:55 AM.. |

Hope you get back into this one day, hope to see more of your work. I hear from customizers with kids that they actually do this activity with their kids. Like, teach them to be creative with their toys. I can only hope to do that myself one day.

Cloud! My fellow Tennessean, great to see your work out there again. Glad to hear you are doing well and these two Snakes look fantastic! Cannot wait to see the Storm Shadows. Take care and congrats on the family expansion!

Such subtle changes just make him look sooo much better than the original figure. I'm also looking forward to seeing your Storm Shadows as well.
