So, awhile back, I made a custom of one of my favorite video game characters, Kratos from the God of War series:
JoeCustoms.com > View topic - Kratos (God of War) And it was one of my favorite customs. Unfortunately, I used a RIT-dye base for the figure, and it bled HORRIBLY. I've never had dye-bleed be a problem before, but this utterly ruined the custom. I tried repainting, and it just bled back through. I was pretty pissed off. But I decided to recreate the custom. I didn't want to use a BnB base this time, though (no foot-peg holes, too shrimpy). Thankfully, I was able to salvage some of the more difficult to make parts from the first custom. Here's new new one: And just for fun, Kratos vs. my latest purchase: And if you're curious, here's what the remains of the old version look like. Use RIT dye with care, I guess is the moral of the story: 25th Kratos: Head: Walmart 'Resolute' Roadblock (modified) Upper body: Night Adder Legs: MU Ronin Skirt belt: Pirates of the Caribbean accessory Skirt: misc fabric Belt Armor: cut up part of Montezuma Skeleton waist armor Athena blades: Ninja Battles spears w/ cobra dagger hilts and hotglue flames |

I love it! I also think the remains of your first Kratos looks super sweet still as well. I'd totally use it for a custom.

Damn, slick! I like the new torso more than the old one.
Duuuude! I feel your pain, I'm never using RIT dye on anything again unless I want to leave it completely black. I did the same thing you did, with white over the dyed parts, and now a week later it just looks like mud. Seriously? It bleeds if you paint over it again? OMG...I don't feel like buying another Raven, Helix, and Ms Marvel to recreate mine :( |

I love the pic of him fighting the rancor! Kratos would make short work of it though.
