"Venom" Custom Mighty Mugg

2010-09-26T03:51:00.000-07:00

"WE ARE VENOM"
If you know spider man you should know that venom isn't too far behind. One of marvel's most notorious evil villains, Venom takes the cake on having the worst teeth. ;) I was commissioned by a local collector named Ryan Bromely of Saskatoon who was a friend from highschool that took a keen liking to my style of art. Once we started talking I was more than just a little excited when he asked me for a venom...I had been waiting for someone to ask me and now that he is finished I am a little reluctant to deliver him.
I think I might just keep him around a little while before he goes to his new home;) just kidding Ryan glad to work with you on this one can't wait for you to get him!!

"Wolverine" Custom Mighty Mugg

2010-09-26T03:36:00.000-07:00

Aside from the fact that wolverine is arguably the dopest effing x-men character alive, he is also the dopest effing x-men character alive. Again this is arguable.....and alas I must say I thoroughly enjoyed every minute I spent working on this custom. I waited before I made the more popular characters until I felt worthy enough to attempt to bring them to life Viloria style. Also I strategically chose the name EPIC CUSTOMS for a reason. This reason was so I would have to push myself to live up to the name....not because I think my customs are of EPIC proportions...I mean that is up for you to decide. (I just make the things) lol. After getting some local attention I was commissioned by Jesse Windels of Saskatoon to make this awesome Wolvie.

"Hitler's After Life" Custom Mighty Mugg

2010-09-26T00:00:00.000-07:00

"Hitler Was A Monkey?"
Hey Guys well I thought I would make something a little different and out there to see what kind of a response I could get out of you!! This little guy was a custom I made in between some of my commissions to help as a stress reliever. I needed a laugh and this was the pretty cool end result. I was watching a world war II show on tv at the time while my brother had been sculpting monkeys.....and it was really a spur of the moment kind of sculpt. This was also the time of the release of modern warefare for x-box. Although I was still playing Nazi Zombies day and night!! lol

"Zombie Ryu"

2010-09-25T23:48:00.000-07:00

"HADOOKEN"

"Ryu" is capcoms most legendary character and will forever remain in the hearts and minds of those who know him. His easy to use flashy supermoves and quiet classic martial arts style, made him a quick favorite. This bad boy was another commission by "Postman" from the www.mightymuggsforum.com. Based off the original art work by: Manuel Augusto Dischinger Moura seen here:http://www.onelargeprawn.co.za/2010/05/05/zombie-street-fighters/

NOTE: If I get enough feed back from this guy I will make some of the others aswell, it was my plan in the beggining just haven't found the time to get around to them. So...I think with some incentive I mighty just find the time ;).
