Storm (Marvel NOW!) (Marvel Legends) Custom Action Figure
Custom #:61746
Name:Storm (Marvel NOW!)
Custom Type:Action Figure
Toy Series:Marvel Legends
Creator:MikeMarvel  
Date Added:May 21, 2014
Base Figure:Blackcat
Height:6.00 inches
Completion Time:24.00 hours
I've been wanting to do this one for so long but I was waiting for the right parts to come along. The Blackcat base is just so perfect for Storm though some substantial modding was necessary. The head I believe is a Moonstone head from castingcave. The other obstacle to tackle was the mohawk. I don't know how others do theirs and it seems like alot of people like to keep their techniques to themselves which is cool, but the way I see it, the techniques don't mean jack if your talent can't back it up!

I used a piece of cardboard and drew the head's profile. Then I drew a general shape and size to the mohawk that I wanted. Once I was satisfied with that I used ProCreate (the stuff chaz_xxi uses for all his killer works)and sculpted the hawk right on the cardboard. Once that side cured, I cut out the shape from the cardboard, flipped it over and sculpted the other side. Simple as that. Much easier than I thought it would be. Maybe I'll do a tutorial if anyone's interested...

Great to hear about the tutorial

If anyone wants to create and maintain a FigureRealm facebook page, contact Captain Coder and see if he's up for it. I don't use any social media sites so I have idea what thats about.

One of the most disappointing things with custom submissions is that no one shares how they get stuff done. I feel the whole point of having a custom gallery is so people can share techniques and elaborate of their works so we can all get better, not to be used just as a terse craigslist ad for customs.

Thanks for sharing your mohawk technique, you got a crazy sexy last of the mohicans vibe going on with that long tailed hawk, so badass. And the eyes are so striking, any tips for painting those?

I totally agree with you! I'm going to do a tutorial soon on face and eye painting soon. I promise. I wish the site and community were more interactive. A figure Realm facebook page would be great. hmmmm

Thanks dude. Not to toot my own horn but the eyes on this one are the best I've ever done! I tried something new and used an extra small artists pen to do the black line work.

I had just started a Storm in this look when Hasbro announced theirs, so I scrapped it; but this thing is AWESOME. That paint job on the costume is just perfect.

I have to admit I am just a sucker for a mohawk sporting Storm. This is a cool version of her done very well.

Yeah funnily enough I saw that just a few days ago as I was wrapping this one up! But I think mine looks better anyway, tho unfortunately I may have to pick her up for the Jubilee parts! And who knows maybe Hasbro will cancel theirs...they have a habit of doing that...
