I have modified my first attempt at a custom according to suggestions on here. Definitely made an improvement. Lowered the head and added red to the neck and some red accents.

Working name is Hitori Ikiryo. Hitori is Japanese for 1st. (to honor my first custom) Ikiryo is a Japanese term for a ghost. The Japanese language has many terms for a ghost, this term describes a person who releases ghost energy while still alive. The exact manifestation is that their soul can leave their body and appear before the target of their hate. A useful skill for an assassin.

Still working on the back story but will have it finalized before I submit to the gallery.

Here is Hitori Ikiryo. The first ghost.

Thanks.

Head off Renegades Cobra Commander. Forearms and lower legs from Retaliation Ninja 3-pack Kamakura. Feet are from Renegades Tunnel Rat. Holster and gun from MU Punisher, cut off obviously. Main body is a Retaliation Storm Shadow as well as the hands.

Very, very nicely done. You had a really solid design, and I think the adjustments you've made set it over the top and really establish him as a unique character.

Yes. Yes, this is outstanding. You picked some difficult colors to work with on your first time through, and they came out looking real nice.

Can't wait to see what else you have planned!

well you have to call it a great debut, to say the least. I like that it is well thought out in terms of both concept and design. I respect original characters quite a bit, and I like very much where your bio is heading. also, the figure very much fits the part.

design-wise, he looks like he'd fit in with a great number of anime flicks, and the combination of the paranormal aspect with what looks like a cyber ninja also, is really a great combo.

The red details are a very nice touch. Well done!

Looks good. Finding a good reuse for a CC head can be difficult.

Not bad. I like the meaningful name. The paint work while limited is super clean. All you need is an action shot of him taking someone down.

This was pretty smooth before but your adjustments really knock it out of the park. Love the red highlights especially.
