Non G.I. Joe My softball buddy’s SECOND selfie custom, by ozzie92

ozzie92 · 08-16-2019, 08:38 PM

Made a 2nd selfie custom for my buddy after his ex-girlfriend’s dog chewed it up. He was too embarrassed about it to tell me, so his ex asked me if it would be possible to replace it. I used an exact replica of his softball team’s logo, courtesy of Bad Mother Tattoos, as fortunately I had a spare! I will be surprising him with it on his birthday, 8/25.

Oz this guy rocks!!!

What did you use for the pin stripe down his leg?

I feel bad for the chewed up one.

Thanks, Brother!

Interestingly enough, I used POC Quick Kick legs and discovered that my SUPER thin (0.005) permanent markers that I typically use for eyes were able to color over the yellow pin-striping!

Looks great! Too bad about the old one though. I’m certain he’ll like it.

Have you ever had the marker rub off? From my experience the super thin markers used for inking comics can sometimes rub.

Nice custom, but even nicer that you did this for your friend! I am sure he will be pleasantly surprised!

You are 100% correct...which is why I coated it with dullcoat spray lacquer from Testors Model Masters. ;)

I use these markers for eyes, too.
