MP8 I was thinking that but you got to be careful to not leave too much white space below it or else his eyes will look like they're rolling backward in his head. I can test it and see. I'll repaint him with my next batch too. Did you like Piccolo? cleve5sp sevengear Appreciate those words!

Love the Piccolo man! great job . Bandages looks sweet as hell too! Now that I see this Piccolo, it gives me temptation to make his Figuarts counterpart, as well as Badman Vegeta lol . Now that I have Taitans Yamcha, it makes sense that I make more characters in their casual outfits. Keep up the awesome customs man!

A figuarts DI Piccolo driving a car would be hilarious.

The Piccolo and the others are very good.
You could try making the pupils bigger to match the size of the eyes so that there's not as much excess white.

#462: Sabertooth Tiger (Saiyan Saga)Date: January 2015 Creation Time: 10 Hours Difficulty: 4/10Base Figure: Dollar Store Zoo Tiger Modifications: Besides the Z warrior-affilliated animals, Gohan's tiger friend is one of those animals that is worthy of making (much like the Mouse that saved Goku from Blue, Pippy, the yellow bird used in Popo's training, the Monkey that kept the DB away from the RR army, Popo's cat, the Paozusaurus, the Brontasaurus, the bear that fought Lord Yao in the GT movie, and a few others) For a sculpting, I had to shape the bush on the end of his tail, the eyes, the eyebrows, and the fangs. After forming the furry wrinkles in both the bush-tail and eyebrows, I sanded (mainly the eyebrows) into the rest of his fur. For painting, I repainted the figure 100%, including inside the mouth and the shading on his eyebrows. The orange coat did come out a little darker, but I really like the result and might be as good as Branjita's tiger.

Nice job! I think he's a fun character to have in your collection. He's not too hard to make and goes great with a toddler Gohan!

Thanks I was going off this image for the face, which explains his bug eyes. It was his shocked look lol

I wondered if that's what you were matching.

Custom Upgrade: BD SSGoku (Frieza Saga)Date: February 2015 Creation Time: 6 Hours Difficulty: 3/10 Upper Body/Boots: Bandai SBC SSGoku Lower Body/Blue Ripped Undershirt: Bootleg BD SSGoku Orange Ripped Shirt: Jakks BD Goku Modifications: My previous BD SSGoku was a SZF figure and considering how important of a form/character he is, I had to have something a little more accurate. With a recent purchase of 3 bootlegs on ebay that look like Real Works (BD Bardock, BD SSGoku, and SS3Gogeta) but are actually quite to scale, I was able to incorporate the legs from the Goku to this custom. And man, that saved me 10 Hours of sculpting ripped pants that I did NOT want to sculpt. I'd say it was successful. With that, I repainted the skin to give the figure some life, added some blood and scrapes, then repainted both of the ripped shirts, which came from a Jakks BD Goku and the other from the BD SSGoku bootleg I already mentioned. That bootleg really came in handy! I like this upgrade. #461 (Was already added onto the list before #462 Sabertooth Tiger): Wilderness Gohan (Saiyan Saga)Date: February 2015 Creation Time: 10 Hours Difficulty: 4/10 Head: Chara Puchi Kid Gohan Body: DWC BD SSGoku Tail: AB Toddler Gohan Modifications: Along with the Survival Gohan I already made, Wilderness Gohan is also a worthy form/character to make. Thanks to Branjita for the idea last year. To start, I carved off the battle damaged rips of the Goku's shirt and smoothed it out. I added apoxie to the arms to cover the muscle definition and smoothed that out too. The legs stayed as is and the belt just needed some refining to remove more BD effects. On the head, I cut out a mouth instead of the smile that was there. Now he looks half excited/half shocked, which is still fitting. I think it matches the scene when Gohan finds the two apples on the high cliff. I repainted the figure from head to toe after that. I really like the results. The only issue? His height. I did not compare him to my Survival Gohan before I painted and he's a tad bit taller, which is not right. So that's a bummer. I will most likely take a slither (1/6 inch) out of the legs and have to reattach them. But still, the final look will be no different than this. #463: Spacesuit Oolong (Frieza Saga)Date: January 2015 Creation Time: 12 Hours Difficulty: 5/10 Head: BA Oolong Body: DWC Spacesuit Bulma w/a lot of shortening Modifications: Weird custom to make, huh? I got the inspiration when I was thinking of a Chi Chi to make for the Frieza Saga. Since the Irwin one would match, that seemed like a good option, but I already have her in my Garlic Jr saga section. Then I remembered this; and thought "I will make the team." Using the DWC Bulma, I had to cut out almost 2/3 of an inch in the legs and then add apoxie around the waist to make him chunkier. Then sculpt entirely new arms, which was tedious, but not too difficult. Painting him WAS tedious lol To finish him, I added some CC stickers on his sleeves. Overall, I like the final product. I didn't dedicate an enormous amount of time to him because he's so minor of a character, but the time I did spend was actually quite longer than I was hoping. He wasn't easy to create. Still, one more down.

Hey hey hey! The first usage of my Capsule Corp stickers that I know of! Cool!!!
I'm digging the Oolong. The SS Goku turned out cool too. And the Gohan is a cute little guy.

Always quality work from you! If I may make one suggestion, a small black outline around Gohan's mouth would help make it look cleaner and more natural.

Thanks! Good idea. I can try that. Will need to be super thin so it doesn't look like he was splurging on chocolate lol

Yeah, just enough that it has that anime drawing look. It could go horribly wrong... hopefully it works out.
