I feel kind of funny posting my custom since I'm the type who's on the fence about customizing toys. The GIDs I will posting in the next month or so were sold to me by Mori himself to customize so I guess it makes it ok. The creative force on this board was the inspiration and you all know who you are(too many to name) Keep doing what you do if it makes you and the people they were intended for happy.
You can really see the time, thought, and care that went into this. There are some good customizers around but very few who take the art to another level and make a toy even better. You fit in that latter category. Amazing work!
Incredible. Completely original take and it could only come from you, Joel. My mind is blown once again.
On the second pic, the character with all the teeth..behind the evil reminds me of my wife's dental stuff---
If you're not keeping this for yourself there is a LUCKY SOB out there. Dear other customizers, bar's been raised! HIGH!
I really dislike when people say this. Nothing against you BD, but this quote drives me nuts. There is no bar ! He does what he does VERY well. There is no standard for custom work so how do you set a bar. All customs are different. Only the artist them self can raise there own standards or "bar". This statement always makes me feel as if others out there want us customizers/ artist or what ever you call us to compete and out do each other. And that is wack. No need for others to try and compete just do what you do as best as possible that how the bar gets raised. There will only ever be 1 LamourSupreme,1 Paul Kaiju, nor I or anyone else can try and compete or out do them in doing what they do so how can I raise the "bar" ? Sorry but this bar quote needs to go, I don't want to derail this thread so if you have a long winded reply PM me.
Well I'm not saying anyone sucks, I'm just complimenting the creativity on this piece. In my opinion, I've never seen anything like it, not even close. So I guess what was meant to say wasn't so much "Others blow, this is the new standard" as much as "Holy Shit, some new ground's been paved!" Sorry, I retract my prior statement didn't mean to step on any feet. I guess I see how it can seem a little insulting. BTW, I've felt the same way about some of your work LASH
Like I said this want directed at you, just that I've heard this before and it drives me crazy. Joel is one of the best there is, how can you compete Dude I keep coming back to look at this. At first the black looks like chrome if you take a quick glance. I have no clue how you got so much detail in this small body ??!!
