X-Force!

I started working on custom figures as a fun activity many years ago, but recently i've take a more serious approach to customs (some of which you can see at my Deviantart, check the link in the side bar --->)

Last night a finished up 2 Marvel Universe scale figures I had been working on: X-Force's Wolfsbane and Elixer

Wolfsbane was made using a Black Widow body with parts from the Timber accessory from one of the Snake Eyes figures.

I removed BW's feet and attached the lower legs from Timber, then shaped Timber's head until it was roughly human shaped. then i hit the whole thing in black and used a combination of a silver sharpie (as a base coat) and silver paint to do the details

in what i felt was a moment of clarity, i carefully trimmed off some of the body fur from Timber and attached those pieces to the calves and forearms to go ahead and lock in that comic accurate look

i would like to add that she is ridiculously hard to stand now...

for Elixer, i started with a Marvel Universe Silver Surfer figure and the head from a GI Joe Crimson Guard.

i picked up a gold sharpie so i could use the same sharpie/paint combo that i have had such success with when dealing with silver, painting the arms below the "sleeve" and the face.

i carefully painted the black for the costume, the line to distinguish the sleeves, and went back and hit the hair with a little silver

last thing i did was give he entire figure a coat of flat clear except the gold parts, so they would pop a bit more compared to the duller colors
