Hi there!
Thanks for checking out my custom's thread! Straight off the bat I'm going to say that I have never made any "real" customs before. Besides painting a few Gundams, I don't have much experience, but I try my best! 
Enjoy!

This is probably a cake walk for most of you guys, but I put a lot of work into him and I like how he turned out!
Anime Style Piccolo
He's about 95% done, I just have to touch up a couple spots and give him a dull coat. I realize I could have made his shoes a bit more orange-y but I went for a darker look, and I like that more.
Also, I have to give a big thanks to cleve5sp and Adz for helping me choose the colors!

Branjita 1andonly5711 Are you guys on mobile? For some reason the same thing happens to me when I go on my phone, but when I click the link on my computer it works fine. I'll try to upload the pics to the thread. And yep this is my first venture into the world of customizing!

Awesome Little! That purple did come out really nice. The customizing bug is worse than the Figuarts collecting bug (IMO)...

 Very clean paint job! I'm impressed. Keep it up. Have you begun sculpting anything?

Wow that means a lot, thanks! Nope I haven't tried one bit of sculpting on anything yet. I think I'm going to try a Gogeta in the near future though. We'll see!

I need some tips on sculpting pecs and abs. They never look quite right...

Don't make them flat  Sculpt them individually. By that, I mean, if you want to sculpt a six pack, sculpt them one by one, not one big mass and trying to separate them. Once all six are place, you can do the blending. Same for pecs.

Adrenaline What go you think? These abs came out best so far, and it's really good compared to my other attempts! Anything I should fix? Gogeta WIP

Those look pretty good! As long as they're symmetrical too.

I can see how this turns into an addiction. Now where do I start?  He's still a WIP but he's close to being finished. Although... The head still needs a ton of work to be done. I gave up on my other one because it was too much of a pain to try and paint over black hair. What was I thinking!  The chest and vest parts need detail, so does the shoes and belt too. I also have to touch up a bunch of spots all around. I'm happy with how it's turning out though. Oh and sorry for the cruddy picture. I need to get a better camera!

Wow Little G, this is awesome. The vest looks great and from what I can tell, you did a great job on the pecks and abs. Well done man!

From what I can see, he looks pretty good to me. If you do as good of a job on the head as you've done on the body, he should turn out just fine.

I agree. The body looks pretty much done and well done. Vest is fine. The head still needs work obviously and could make this a really great looking custom once complete. You know what you're doing, so do what you got to do, but if I can suggest anything, straighten out the lines of the eyes. It bothers me so much that Bandai made them so rounded lol A lot of customizers skip this step, so yours can be better now
