I'd like to see a closeup of the fig with the earring. I can't seem to find it!
What do you mean that it's not often that you inspire someone? So far I've tried out your custom cloak, your chromitizing technique, and perhaps you've forgotten our conversation on instant messenger? I would say that you're one of the most inspirational customizers here!
Your fine work puts most of the rest of us to shame... keep it up!

My jaw was on the floor with these. Great job.
The torsos are uber-cool, great designs. You certainly are Sava's apprentice. Great job, BTW nice backdrop!

This is truly impressive. I am usually not a fan of customizing/painting/cutting pieces, but when a job this great is done, I have to put aside my reservations. You did an awesome job

Oh, and by the way - did you notice that you are now a "Master's Apprentice"?

Very cool 8)

Check out the painted Dobby next to the Yoda (the one in the back with the stick). On his left ear you'll see a small dark grey ring.

GREAT JOB LEGOLAS!

Still can't see it. My computer monitor is pretty old, so sometimes it can be tough to pick out details.

I Hope that this picture helps:

I never noticed this before (strange because I made him) but the paint on his lip 'clumped up' and it looks like his lip has been all stitched up... :shock:

Flattery will get you nowhere :P , (just kidding) Seriously though 'Thank you'. :)

That pic's way better for seeing the earing, which looks great.

Congrats on the official promotion.

BTW, did your avatar change? It looks a little different. Maybe its just me...

Nice picture, it looks really good from close up. The ear-ring idea was great and it looks pretty neat. The lip has turned out quite well, even though you didn't plan it to be like that. It gives the orc some character.
Just one suggestion.. maybe you could have a little more detail on the eye, just with a black marker, to make them stand out a bit more.
Apart from that, great stuff!

I bent a paper clip around a pen, but I just clipped it on his ear...didn't actually pierce it :lol: it's a clip on....

:shock: WOW. *Picks himself from off the floor* You defenintly have a gift for customizing. That earing on the goblin is wicked! Those gamorreans look awesome painted. Might have to try it. The goblins look great painted too. And the stickers. Well those are just AWESOME!
Space rocks.
