#17: Flaming C Round 2

This Flaming C was my second commission.  He's similar to the first, with a few changes to the goggles and less hair sculpt so he can stand up on his own.  I also added a pic of the Mugg before the painting started.





#16: Green Lantern Sinestro

Sinestro was my second entry in the Marvel vs. DC contest and made it to the semi-finals.  He is a basic Mugg with a small bit of sculpt for the ring.  He's the second of five Lanterns in the set.




#15: Red Lantern Guy Gardner

Guy is a basic Mugg with sculpted hair and ring.  He is the first of five Lanterns based on the War of the Lanterns story arc.

#14: Krillin

Krillin is a basic Short Round base with just paint.  I modeled him after Krillin in the Saiyan saga after a fight with Vegeta.  He is wearing Master Roshi's robe with his symbol on the back.  I hope you enjoy it.

#13: WW2 Captain America

This is my very first commission that goes to BaKeS on the Mighty Muggs Forum.  He sports a sculpted helmet and shield as well as an AK-47.  The backpack and straps are all hand-sewn and made from duck cloth.  He took about 3 weeks to make from start to finish (with distractions from school).  I love how he turned out!  Feel free to look at the "Commissions" page above if you are interested in a Mugg.

#12: The Flaming C

If you don't know who this guy is, he is a superhero version of Conan O'Brien based on a sketch done by an artist at Warner Bros. Studios.  This custom comes with sculpted hair and a removable spoon-hand.  He also sports a hand-sewn cape with gold chain.  I entered this custom into the first ever Sid the Kid's Custom Playground tournament and was sadly eliminated the first round by a yellow daredevil made by toyboy (which was incredible and won the tournament).  Regardless, this was a fun custom to make and I hope you enjoy it!

#11: Captain Planet

 I tried to start watching the Captain Planet show again, but it is so terrible I couldn't stand it.  This custom was created in a month due to lacking some materials.  It was finished in late February 2011.  I actually sanded the apoxie this time and had to redo his mullet a couple times, the overall custom was fun to make.


#10: Kraven the Hunter

Kraven was entered into the fabled Rocket Tournament 4 on the Mighty Muggs forum.  Kraven lost in the second round to Owlman, who eventually won the tournament.  That's the way it goes sometimes.  Kraven's vest was made by apoxie sculpt.  I made the lion head separate and cut the finished product in half with a razor to make the two halves of the vest.  Kraven was finished late 2010.




#9: Ant Man

With the new Mini Mugg line out, I quickly snatched a few sets for customizing.  It's only right that the first Mini Mugg I made was Ant-Man.  I sculpted his helmet with apoxie.  Sadly, I didn't know of this new invention called "sandpaper" so the helmet was a bit too rough and sloppy.


Mock-Ups

Here are some mock-ups I made that haven't made it to vinyl.  Maybe they will someday......

Conan O'Brien

 Hazmat (Avengers Academy)

Beaten Iron Fist 

 Mysterio

 Raptor (Amazing Spider-Man)

Bucky as Captain America

 Puck

 Shocker


#8: Hercules

Hercules was my first try at using sculpt.  I used aves apoxie sculpt for everything and I like how it turned out (for my first time using sculpt).  The chest, hair, headband, armbands, belt, and man-skirt are all sculpted.

#6: Striker and #7: Mettle

These two are lesser known heroes from the new comic "Avengers Academy".  Striker was made from Count Dooku Mighty Mugg (hence the lightning).  These two were relatively easy with a good chunk of them being a solid color.  I will probably end up redoing Mettle's head eventually to give it more of a skull look.
