This is the custom that I wanted to submit to the NJC when they were doing Vertigo, but for the life of me had too much on my plate at the time. Here he is in both the DC/Vertigo glory and in a recreated scene from the Garth Ennis/Glen Fabry run(my favorite timeframe):

He took some serious work on the head, It started as that smiling Duke head from the TRU Desert pack. He had the smile I wanted to add John's classic cigarette, but the head had little to no defined ears!
So using the Xacto and some luck, I shaved off the ears from a Hannibal A-Team figure and glued them to his head. Next, I took the wood burner to his head and brought up the hair in Constantines classic Billy Idol looking locks. Lastly, was the painting, which was a mix of paint, inks, and so forth. His head is permanently in the three-quarter pose, which I felt was good enough for dio shots. Clothing was a no-brainer, Indy clothes with the overcoat from those WWII figures from BBi or Forces of Valor. Whatever. The tie, since I did not use or have the Indy top with the tie, I remembered that in the comic run Constantine was far from the neat type, save for taking his drink neat. SO I looked through my stuff, and found an AOME cape that had a crumpled pattern that was what I was truly looking for. Some trimming and painting made a severely crumpled tie.
The next shot is almost a recreation of the scene from that storyline when an angel impregnated a female demon and they were fighting over the infant. John, in classic fashion set up the angel and well, the story shows how he handled their usual self serving attitude:
