New movement for customizers âJOINT PREP MOVEMENTâ
Wish it was a thing years ago.
Few of mine suffer from paint rub a little but these are personal figures that I unfortunately didnât sand properly and would never be sold , proper prep time and loving is always key if youâre selling your product, people pay out the arse for our time and money youâd expect that the product isnât falling apart in your hands
This is the exact message I was trying to send. Some how it got blurred a long the way. I'm glad you agree.
@@SymbioteSeeker gotta tell the truth, weâre both British mate you know how we are about hard work, canât sell something that a kid could possibly pick up and get paint chips in their mouths, itâs a fine art and like most art shit doesnât sell âĪïļ
See man your on the money there. Exactly! British culture of truth telling and saying it how it is without filter. Definitely man. Appreciate having British people in the comments. This hobby tends to be very American driven.
@@SymbioteSeeker very American driven with fewer and fewer shining stars, well said!
That Venom body is one of the hardest figure to paint because it barely has clearance for additional paint without sanding. As someone who is very meticulous on paint rubs, I usually sand the shit out of figures to make sure there's no paint rub ð
Thanks for creating this video, those "customizers" really have to be called out.
Imagine if hasbro put this much effort into their figures. Then they'd be worth that price point.
Totally agree
Agreed! I'd almost say joing prep is the most important part. If you can't reliably articulate without paint rub, might as well turn it into a statue.
Everyone hates doing it, but joint prep is always a must when doing customs. Do you have any tips on prepping pinless joints? What dremel bits do you use? Is there a technique?
I'll be adding it to Patreon one day. Those videos take a great deal of time I don't have at the moment.
Damn Dude. That looks amazing. Your work is just top tier *chefs kiss*
Appreciate it
â@@SymbioteSeekerpaghe
Here's what the purchaser doesn't get. Ready, here it is. You mostly always ALWAYS get what you pay for.
If I sold my customs I would have to charge for the sanding effort and resources. And 300 bucks or higher, people just scoff at your price.
Then you leave them be, Because selling a dodgy product for the sake of a sale to make quick money is scummy. If they aren't willing to meet your price, let them go. It's about doing the right thing. No matter what. Being a decent human being.
Call em like it is! Contentmizers! Love the paint on this guy!
Also I admire you loving painting yellow , that paint is so hard takes so many coatsð probably why I just spray paint it instead rather hand paint
It's the challenge. I'm obsessed with difficulty. I try to push my limits on these things as much as possible. To be fair this is a super old custom 2022 I think.
@@SymbioteSeeker I should do that to myself too so that I can improve my skills.
I remember the first time I painted a sabertooth with yellow... Over 6+ coats, paint kept coming off ðĒgave up on it.
Yellow is tricky. Airbrushing helps greatly with coats
Pinless joints was the end of lots of customizers..
Couldn't agree more
Incredible work dude keep up the good work. I support everything you do.ð
Much appreciated!
Dope ass custom
Thanks man!
Another I'm going to add is some will say there's no need to joint prep because there's clearance already to articulate ð. Awesome Phage custom dude, I remember the other Phage custom video you uploaded by Venom who laughs! also we don't talk about the Marvel legends Phage ðð.
I've heard ever excuse in the book.
Phage hmm sounds like it be a good name for a klintaur symbiote
As someone who's been a customizer since 2012 there are definately some shady people in the community but say that the customizing commuinty in a nutshell is full of scammers is pretty ridiculous and the fact of the matter is that there are way more legit artist than scammers just as there are more artist that prep joints than there are who don't. I understand that you're confident about your work as you should be but your arrogance needs to be toned down quite a bit.
Coming from you that's means absolutely nothing. As you associate with the scum and the scammers that make this community shitty and toxic. I'm always called "arrogant" from jealous or idiotic "customizers" who refuse to do the right thing by there customers. " I've been customizing" means nothing when your 10+ years in and still produce quality like yours. Jog on.
@@SymbioteSeeker Jealous?
Of you!? youâre joking right? ð
@@SymbioteSeeker My work speaks for itself. I donât have to go on long rants and shit talk people online to make myself feel better. And by the way I prep my joints ð
â@xlTOK3Nlx How is spreading awareness on scammers and people who claim to be something there are not, shit talking and self serving?
You lot are all the same, you get offended from facts and truth then try push your tribalism. Gets old.
After following actual legitimate customizers like yourself, I have moved away from painting jobs, I just know the amount of work, prep and time it truly needs in order for it to be legit and I just don't have that much free time and that's completely okay because I'd rather focus on what I'm good when it comes to customs rather then deliver half ass, non prepped "Customs" and charge absurd prices.
Keep doing you!
There is a great deal of time to invested into getting something rub free. I do understand most if not 99% of customizers just give up and don't bother doing it.
Yeah still after all my years of doing this paint rub is still my biggest enemy
Is there a mold your struggling with?
@@SymbioteSeeker mostly it's the thigh/pelvic areas. Seems like that spots always touching when it articulates no matter how much you shave off there's always contact eventually. Maybe it's paint and sealers I need to try switching up
I've been doing gunpla/gundam before and even that needs joint prep or else paint rub if you gonna articulate it or worse plastic breakage since gunpla plastics kinda weak not really meant for playing. Now I'm on action figure and disassembly kinda scary thing especially for hard plastic but for Marvel Legends kinda decent, much easier to disassemble. Also please don't buy or encourage those customizers that using a cheap base for a figure or even a KO as a base figure then selling it 10times or even 20times the price and those who don't prep the figure properly. Just don't because you just gonna encourage them to scam more. I know someone in my country who does that and people amaze with his paint skills but without prep it will just scratch the paint and wasted money for a custom, worst the figure is priced like 300usd and up even the base is trash and no prep at all lol.
Do yourself a favor. If it's priced like 300usd or higher for an action figure with a cheap figure/KO based. Just buy Authentic Revoltech, Mafex, SHFiguarts or even a HOT TOYS etc and you will get your money worth and much cheaper. Find a real customizer with a reasonable price or practice on cheap or KO figs much better and you will learn.
Love love this custom !! ð ðĨ
Glad to hear it
Ive been waiting for a vid
would you ever think about shooting a long video where you show us how you make customs start to finish? all the sculpting painting etc
Definitely. Is there a certain mold your intrested in?
â@SymbioteSeeker, maybe a movie carnage since he's in your intros all the time? Regardless, I would like to see a movie carnage from you one day
@@SymbioteSeeker i struggle with sculpting sharp edges on logos (like ps5 spidey) while using green sculpt. im trying to get better and youre my fave customizer id love to see how you sculpt any logos. symbiotes would be amazing tho
Take me 4+ hours straight to joint prep ðĒ
But at least you do it.
Dude I'll spend days sanding and prepping and still get rub.... How do you do it bro? Sometimes seems like no matter how much sanding I do things still bump up against each. other. If it's something for myself I'll just give up and say oh well. I need lessons from you seeker. Been looking up to you for a long time fell like your trying to diss me rn
Hey dude. Definitely wasn't intentionally try to Diss you dude. Please don't take it that way. It was aimed at people who sell customs with rub then make out it's the customers fault.
I'm happy to help I have a video on prep coming out. I want to help as many people as I can. Education is the key to success.
@@SymbioteSeeker ðð nah I'm joking I don't even sell customs that often. And If I do I won't sell it unless its perfect as I can get it. Personally for my own collection I'm just trying to crank out stuff to put on the shelf. If it's done and has minor rub I won't resand it's just going to stay in that pose on the shelf until I move.
@@SymbioteSeeker and in my videos I always try to let people know "I'm not claiming to be a good customizer. Im just trying to fill out my shelf"
Amazing workðĨðĨðĨ
Thanks man!
Do you have a tutorial on how to do proper customs? Ive done customs for my own stuff for a while but the paint always rubs away. Itd be much appreciated, thank you.
I've been requested to do a video for prep and sculpt and paint. I need to get to it. Unfortunately it's incredibly time consuming
@@SymbioteSeeker Okay, thank you for messaging me back it really means a lot to me
Iâm a professional artist and although Iâm very glad you run an honest business and have a complex knowledge on customizing your not the âkingâ or making waves your honestly not that great when it comes to rendering detail and if you were trying to capture the original material you failed. But it looks ALOT better then most customizers but you need work on the eyes and head in general I see no waves being made
Appreciate your honesty. This was from 2022. It's 2024 I havnt posted my recent work in a while. You would only be basing your judgement off what you see here in a video. Unless you physically owned my work and saw it in hand you wouldn't be able to cast judgement unfortunately.
Your right king is wrong. Let's go with goat
@@SymbioteSeeker I canât argue you deff do have talent and know what your doing and maybe some people just have to fake it till they make it .. I donât doubt you have improved tho
I like you. Your conversation is intellectually enjoyable. I like people who speak there mind, honest and true well. I try surround myself with people who arnt afraid to be able to provide constructive criticism in a civil manner. Thank you.
Hey Iâm a customizer
If you didn't get offended by the video, then you're most likely doing the right thing by your art and the people who support you.
Whatâs the shiny stuff you applied on it called to protect the paint?
Sealer. Most car sealers work incredibly well.
@@SymbioteSeeker car sealers?!?!?! See!! in all my years of doing this (8+ EASY). IV NEVER HERD CAR SEALER.
What kind of paint do you use?
I'll have a updated video one day.
