CUSTOM BLOODSHOT TOY [ MARVEL LEGENDS SCALE ] BY DSNG!

Bloodshot is from the Valiant Comic universe. I think he's a government super-soldier created from nanites infused in his dead body [like a zombie-assassin kinda guy], suffering from memory loss about his true origins. Plus there is a movie in the works, starring Vin Diesel.

The base model was Marvel Netflix Punisher [lower body and head] and Deadpool [upper body and hands]. I had to sculpt the sleeves, the red dot, and the right thigh straps & capsules. Jacket came from Captain America Hit Monkey. Guns came from ebay and were customized. Also had to customize his light-blue skin tone, while knowing that the light in the photoshoot would be white. Hair was sculpted. Some small 5mm magnets were added for holding some weapons on his frame. Tamiya paints used. He has a total of 6 guns and 1 sword. Enjoy and Share!

THE CUSTOM AIDEN WOLF TOY! [MARVEL LEGENDS SCALE BY DSNG!]

Some of my longtime fans know who this guy is. For those who don't know him, his name is Aiden Wolf and he is one of the focal characters in the DSNG Sci Fi Series. He is categorized as a Paragon. And they are supreme ancient beings, like Angels, Ghouls, Fairies, Centaurs, Minotaurs etc. And they existed before the modern times of the other popular characters like the super-soldier Prince Azzar, the main protagonist of the sci fi ebooks. And the first ebook was published back in 2010.

Aiden is the young God of Justice, and he is one of the five Paragon Generals [plus he's the youngest General, since the others are old enough to be his parents]. He is categorized as a Wind-walker, while other elite Paragon warriors can be categorized as Earth Masters, Aqua Lords etc. And Aiden has a special transformation ability called Boss Mode. His personality is rather like that of a trusting child; he is very trusting and he has a strong sense of justice... think of Lion-O, that kind of guy, who isn't super-mature, but he has a ton of responsibility on his shoulders.

The Paragons [the Tier-1 beings] and they have destructive god-like powers [think of the giant fire-balls that destroy mountains in a series like DBZ]. And these ancient beings existed in the Makuran Galaxy, when the 7 major worlds were still young. And per their long lives, the Paragons often get to interact with the mortals [the Tier-3 beings]. And sometimes they breed with the mortals, since they are shape-shifters; and those offspring end up being gifted individuals. The Paragons can almost be categorized as immortals that just keep on living; since they only die via decapitations from their peers, or from destructive blasts sent by other potent beings.

And the DSNG ebooks are all Mature tales, so you get to see the raw / uncensored action, drama and romance... yes indeed :)

Aiden was shown prominently on the cover of DSNG Book 17, which is available for download to your PC, laptop, smartphone, tablet, etc, over HERE.

The toy base model for Aiden was ML Peter Parker Spider-man and Speed-demon, and I had to give him new legs and sculpt a ton of details. His lower legs came from Ironman, and a lot of putty & sculpting was added [anything that was colored metallic-gray was added to his boots]. His gauntlets, thigh straps, chest emblem, belt, shoulder-pad, and hair all had to be sculpted. His jacket and hands came from Star Lord and some of its details were sculpted as well. The big sword is a Dr. Wu Transformers sword, while I added a katana blade to his back, which is held via a connecting 5mm magnet linked to its sheath. There is a weathered cloth tied to his left bicep, and the  cloth on his left thigh was sculpted. I took some liberties in the toy design, since this is my Original Character ;)

The blog article that talks more about DSNG Book 17 is over HERE. Enjoy and Share!

CUSTOM DOMINO X-FORCE TOY [VER 2.0, MARVEL LEGENDS SCALE] BY DSNG!

Another new one; here is my concept design for Domino!
The base body was Captain Marvel Carol Danvers. Her lower legs came from the tall Valkyrie [Hulkbuster version]. And her gripping hands came from that same toy. Her extra hair was sculpted, as was her conceptual costume. I had to fully sculpt her boots and the treads beneath them. Her belt came from Demolition Man and I sculpted the X-buckle.

The two-toned gun in her right hand and the uzi in her left were custom made, while some of the others were gotten from ebay and modified. The assault rifle on her back is held in position via a magnet, like the gun from Starlord on her thighs. I chose to use a custom made aqua-blue / bleached sky-blue paint for her skin tone, so that I’d be free to use white paint for her costume. She was hand painted with Tamia paints, and her boots are a glossy black.

This Domino has a total of 4 guns. No swords or daggers this time ;) Enjoy and Share!

CUSTOM STORM SHADOW VER 2.0, FROM COBRA G.I. JOE [MARVEL LEGENDS SCALE TOY] BY DSNG!

This is the second 6-inch Storm Shadow custom that I've made. The base body was a fusion of about 3 toys, in addition to a lot of sculpting. But the main body & base head were taken from the fancy "Venom Deadpool" toy, aka Deadpool Back in Black.

The ninja head, gauntlets, belt, shoulder-pads, knee-pads, arm pouches etc were sculpted, while the knees came from Captain America. The lower legs / boots came from the Juggernaut series Deadpool. The biceps and arms came from Vance Astro. And the gripping hands came from that same toy. The cool sword holster on his back was sculpted to hold three blades. And an extra sword was added to his left hip via green stuff putty and cardboard [for the sheath]. His guns were customized and the uzi on his left hip is held in place by a magnet, like his sword backpack. His large feet came from fodder and I sculpted the straps and other stuff on them.

The last two pics below show some of the sculpting phase. In total, this Storm Shadow has 4 swords, 3 guns, 2 thigh daggers [sculpted and removable] and 1 boot dagger. He was hand-painted with Tamiya paints. Enjoy and Share!
Btw, my first Storm Shadow is over HERE!

HARLEY QUINN CLASSIC COSTUME FAN ART BY DSNG!

Harley Quinn is one of my Top 5 favorite DC Comics characters. And I've created two different custom toys of her so far. I did this poster originally back in 2015 / 2016. Had to pull it up and recolor it slightly... I believe this version is better. The black & white version shows just how much of a difference that the layers of colors can make. For those fans that are new to my stuff, this style of artwork is traditionally called Cheesecake Art. And per my style, she is thick / thicc / phat / voluptuous / buxom / sexy etc. Enjoy and Share!

CUSTOM CATWOMAN [ MARVEL LEGENDS SCALE ] BY DSNG! - PART 1

All right, this Selina Kyle [aka Catwoman] took a long time to complete... roughly 2 months, while working on her periodically, on and off. Had to solve some technical problems with her, but eventually she turned out OK.

The base body and heels were from Marvel Legends Enchantress. And the lower legs came from Mocking Bird. Her boots / heels had to be enhanced with putty to help her stand better. The head is from SpiderWoman Jessica Drew; I took off the black hair and sculpted the cat-like ears and I upgraded the spider-eyes to goggles [they are not removable].
Her gripping hands came from Thundra and  her whip came from BlackCat, as did her chest. Her zipper, belt, gauntlets, thigh straps and the gun holsters on her thighs were fully sculpted. The guns were all customized and the holster on her back for holding her uzi machine-gun was also custom made. Plus I added a sword to it. Her head is actually held in position via a pair of magnets, so she can look around very fluently. She has 4 guns, 1 sword and 1 whip. And she was hand painted with Tamiya paints.
Part 2 of this article is over HERE [showing the putty application stage]. Enjoy and Share!

CUSTOM SNAKE EYES VER 2.0, FROM G.I. JOE BY DSNG [MARVEL LEGENDS]

Another Snake Eyes! The base body was Marvel Legends Deadpool [Juggernaut BAF], while the belt, knees, boots and lower legs came from Captain America Hit Monkey. The arms came from Demolition Man, and the body-armor and pouches were all sculpted. The bullet shells on his left thigh and biceps were also sculpted. Several extra gun holsters were also sculpted for him, and added to his frontal belt segment on the left side, and down at his left boot. I also made a lot of custom weapons, while I enhanced his belt; hence two of his machine guns can be held via magnets to the rear of his belt. The silver-toned handgun was also custom made. Deadpool's gun holster is on his right thigh.

The swords and sheaths from Deadpool were also used with putty to create a custom sword holster on his back. Plus his helmet was custom made. The gun-vest with the grenades that he is wearing came from Punisher, while it was also enhanced with fodder and sculpting work. He has 7 guns, 2 swords and 1 custom dagger [inserted on his right thigh].

My first Snake Eyes from 2017 is over HERE. The design for that toy was unique and different from this one. And those other pics are a bit different, since I had a different camera back then. Enjoy and Share!

CUSTOM DIAMONDBACK [MARVEL LEGENDS SCALE] BY DSNG!

Another new one; my take on Marvel's Diamondback. This is a concept design, so I was free to create her in my style. And I made her thick / shapely / voluptuous etc.

The main torso, face and heels were from Enchantress, while her lower legs and knees were from Mockingbird. Her chest was from Captain Marvel Carol Danvers, before I sculpted her cleavage. Her arms came from Mocking Bird as well, and I sculpted the gauntlets over them. Her two guns were bought from ebay and customized. Her hands came from Lady Thor, while there is a magnet added to her back, for holding the assault rifle. Her hair was sculpted from green stuff, while her heels were reinforced to help her stand perfectly.


She was hand painted with Tamiya paint [black & silver] and Vallejo paint [the bright squid pink]. Her dynamic hair was colored with a metallic purple shade. Enjoy and share!

CUSTOM HARLEY QUINN Ver2.0 [MARVEL LEGENDS SCALE] BY DSNG!

Another Harley Quinn! Harley is one of my Top 5 DC Comics characters, since I’m very picky...
The main body / torso / and thighs were taken from Lady Thor, while her masked head was from Black Cat. The central hair was from Black Cat as well, while the two blonde ponytails were custom made from green stuff putty. Her upper arms came from Mockingbird, while her gripping hand came from Lady Thor and Misty Knight. Misty’s gun holster and gun were both used and customized.

Her knee-pads came from Demolition man, along with the bigger insertion pegs from that guy. Her feet came from Thundra, while her lower legs came from Lady Thor and Jessica Drew Spider Woman [who was a super-shapely fox in the 1979 cartoon! LOL]. Her hammer was a remixed version of the Lady Thor hammer. Gemstones were added to her gun holster and her gun-belt. Custom details were all sculpted and she was hand painted with Tamiya paints. 

Unlike my G.I.Joes, I didn’t add a whole lot of guns to her this time, but the beauty of Harley Quinn is that she can have a host of different costumes, which will always highlight her bubbly & twisted persona. Enjoy and share!
