very nice, the megatron is my favorite, can you make me one

Those all look great.

Welcome. It's nice to see a fresh face with new ideas on this board that are simple enough to actually make if someone wanted.

Some of them look like you actually created them.

Are these digibashes only or a mixture of that with custom work on Mini-mates?

Either way, there is a whole universe out there for you to make...multipal universes...so keep it up! They're fun to look at.

(Although I have no idea how ther hell your Starscream could stand with that wing span.)

Thanks, guys.

Piranacon, as of right now, I'm not taking any commissions. I will be very soon in the future (someone else on another board where I post these asked me, too), just not right now. They take a long time, and for most of them, I've used the last pieces for mine. For now, there's still a few more customs I want to do for myself first. So, yes, but not just yet. I'll let you know. :wink:

TFMaster, thank you. I love this board already! All the figures are physically painted, but all of the backgrounds are either photos or screencaps Photoshopped in behind them. The only exception is Daredevil, who's actually on the church ledge (it's a stand for a larger DD figure!).

I plan on "Minimating" as much of the creative universe as I can. As witnessed by the many lines I've done, pretty much everything works in Minimate format!!

Check back often for updates!!

by **Ramrider** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 4:20 pm

That's a really cool bunch of customs.

As soon as I saw the Puck fig's face, I instantly thought of Murderface.
Dethklok MiniMates in the pipeline, at all? That'd totally kick arse... :twisted:

by **TENIME_art** » Tue Feb 27, 2007 11:06 pm

I think once my resurfaced Transformers obsession* cools down, I might do some different 'Mates. I've always wanted to try and translate some Adult Swim characters into this format. I've already done a Space Ghost, I just need to re-photograph him and edit him onto a background (since he's one of my older customs, before I started to do the whole, background/cool pose kinda thing). Dethklok is an awesome show, so I wouldn't rule it out...

Grimlock's added!! I went with the Classics design (I love the "mouth-feet", sorry), but gave him blue eyes.

Enjoy!!

Since I alternate 'Bots & 'Cons, and I already have my AB list for who I'm going to do next, I've been asking message boards where I post these pics to help choose which Decepticon(s) I do next.

Any suggestions?

*Of course, if it resurfaced, it's still not going to go away completely... Especially now that I've found this site, and seen all those amazing Kitbashes...

by **piranacon** » Wed Feb 28, 2007 4:45 am

grimlock looks pritty awesome, they all look realy profesional like official mini mates,

my vote goes for shockwave,

nice customs, Great bit there from what i can see and original. Love the style Lines seem a little thick on some but apart from that great

by **TENIME_art** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 4:58 am

Any suggestion on what pen I can use? I use an Ultra Fine point Sharpie, and I can't seem to find anything thinner...

If you know what I can use, also, where could I buy it?

by **Glue** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 8:17 am

I recall seeing technical pens that were sub-mm. Though, those might be too thin for what you have in mind. But they should be findable from most stationery stores and presumably art stores.

Here we are.. http://www.staedtler.com/Mars_professional_gb.Staedtler?ActiveID=2413

Staples carries a set (at least at my zip code). Presumably, the other major office supply stores like Office Depot and OfficeMax do as well.

possibly , get yourself a set of gundam markers....you can find em on ebay fairly cheap....

by **Ramrider** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 3:48 pm

These guys are getting better. I'm loving Scourge to bits. And I've actually just realised that for some reason Megatron kind of reminds me of the manga version, or possibly even a bit Super Megatron...

You seem to be going great guns on movie characters; howsabout Galvatron and Cyclonus as future Decepticon mods?

by **TENIME_art** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 9:19 pm

Thank you. I'm really loving Scourge, and I'm not sure why...

Care to share any pics of "Super Megatron"? I'm not sure what that is...

UPDATE: Soundwave's been fixed.

By the way, I just had a thought regarding Strong Guy in the X-Factor pic. I don't really know much about Mini-Mates, but I'm assuming he's made from a larger figure (unless you just scaled up a normal sized one). If it is a bigger fig, would it possible to give him the legs from a normal fig, or are the ball joints different sizes?

by **TENIME_art** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 5:03 pm

His body is from a Lord of The Rings human Minimate, which is 2 & 1/2" tall, and his head is from a Marvel Minimate, which is 2" tall. (Waaaaay back when he was done) I had never done that type of transplant before (now I have, Ultra Magnus was done the same way), and I had a friend from a Minimate message board do it for me (he also sculpted Guido's giant barrell chest, and I've tried many times, but I'm no sculptor). I suppose the legs could be done the same way (cutting the smaller peg off, and gluing it in place of the larger peg), I'm just not quite sure how it would look, and if it looks good, I'm not sure how he'd stand! LOL...

A group shot I took at someone's request (before I finished Hot Rod) - it shows Magnus's height:

I haven't been notified if I am. I was Custom of the Week, but they do a drawing of all 4 weeks...

Knowing my luck, probably not...I could really use it...

I wasn't. Trust me, with the way I get treated 90% of the time on (so far) every TF board I visit, I'm the last person to start sh**. I was merely winking to say "Yep. That's right! You found me!" That's all.

Glad to see you outside the Multiverse, too!
