MY HydraSpawn Custom Figure

First and foremost, I again have to thank Baimun for his HydraSpawn design that inspired me to make this one. The second I saw his design, I knew I had to make this figure.

My original intentions were to use a Wings of Redemption Spawn, and use some creech tentacles. For his head, I was going to use the gasmask from nuclear spawn or something similar. I later decided to use the Swat Spawn head from S24. I never wanted to go with the fins idea, and I knew I wanted to make him scuba-ish, so I decided I was going to add some small air tanks on his back.

Then, Guyver made a great Hydra Spawn custom, using the WOR body, and similar tentacles. It was too close to what I had in mind, and I didn't want to make a duplicate.

So I went back to the idea board. From this, I came up with an all new recipe, and I am really happy with the final results. I went with a Spawn VI body from Series 20 (mass market), as I liked the stance, and the hooks on the shoulders seemed to fit. Plus, I just happened to have one in the fodder box. I removed his head, and added the Swat Spawn head as I had planned. Then, it was just a matter of adding the tentacles I scrapped from a Creech 2. I liked the pointy ends, and they are much longer than Creech 1. Then I made a belt using some hose scraps from the fodder bins, and to connect them, a Spawn skull and the bottom part from a scrap gasmask I had as well. For the tanks, the dippy little tanks I had originally planned looked odd, and I decided to go with something beefier. Plus, I guess I'm on this back tank kick left over from the Overtkill I did. I had a Blackthorn from Ultima Online in the fodder box that I picked up at the KB closeout clearance. His backpack worked nicely, with the help of the dremel. The spear was made from some handled blade weapons that I had in my weapon fodder - I used some PVC tubing, and stuck one in each end (with some carving down of the handles).

So here's the finished product - my HydraSpawn. Let me know what you think:

Thanks for looking!

NOW we're cooking with Gas!!!!.....

Great Googly Moogly that is sweet, Doc. That's nearly identical to how I pictured him in my head when I started the little photoshop project. [img]smile.gif[/img]

So now you have a bald Creech??? [img]eek.gif[/img] From one figure-bastardizer to another....

...Let the corpses pile up... so that our art may speak for itself!!! (Wow, that sounds even more twisted then I thought it would. [img]wink.gif[/img]

Nice!
Really like the back-pack type thingy.
Very Nemoish~

That is just freaking awesome man ...one of the coolest things ever

[img]eek.gif[/img] [img]eek.gif[/img]

That is friggin awesome!! [img]biggrin.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]

Thanks man!

Not only is he bald, he's got no forearms either! I got them planned for a future custom! But yes, there is a bald, amputated creech screaming in the bottom of another bucket. Exactly where Creech 2 belongs. I scrapped the only good parts from him! Viva la Creech 1!

[img]smile.gif[/img]

Glad I matched your vision man... I felt the vibe when I saw the pic... the moons must have been aligned properly that day... or something like that... [img]wink.gif[/img]

mighty sweet, pal!

That's awesome !!!!

excellent work!

Sweet...Totally

I've actually been eyballing Creech 2 and wondering if Creech 1 isn't more deserving of those gauntlets and tentacles. [img]wink.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The gauntlets are actually SMALLER on Creech 2, but the fingers rock. I started a repaint of Creech 1 ages ago that I never finished... with actual RED instead of that dark maroon... I should finish that. I had an extra Creech 1 that I scrapped too, for his gauntlets and his tentacles (originally for this custom, then I decided that Creech 2's tents looked better for it). Creech 2's legs are smaller too.

I like Creech 1 just the way he is... but the hair transplant surgery would look cool...

I decided my next custom is going to be an original concoction from my own warped mind. The Creech gloves will be part of it. Since I'm at home and unemployed officially as of today, I will have some free time to work on it in between interviewing, etc.

And thanks again everyone... it makes me want to finish my stuff too! [img]eek.gif[/img] I keep doing new ones, neglecting the ones I started way back. [img]smile.gif[/img] I have a lot of free time now, so hopefully I'll churn out a lot more stuff in the near future...
