I just got my repaints back from domino33 (please rep him here (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/showthread.php?p=4980516#post4980516)), and they look fantastic. Three are simple repaints of the Symbiote generic, and 2 are female versions of the Symbiote using pieces from Meggan. I did the cut and paste modding and domino33 did all the painting. Without further adieu, here are the Life Foundation mods:

So this is how I modded Agony and Scream:

I picked Meggan's sculpt because her hair was perfect and her arms were pointing up. I planned on using the Symbiote arms, but having a figure whose arms are already pointing in the right direction means that her torso is the right shape. Having the perfect hair and torso shape meant she was the perfect candidate, because all I used was her torso and hair.

The first thing I did in the actual molding process was cutting off Meggan's arms, then her legs at a ~40 degree angle, similar to a bathing suit cut, and then I cut off her face. The face was the trickiest part in the early molding stage. I took a knife and started cutting right at her hairline. I cut straight down, and when you get to the bottom of her neck, it gets easier to pull that plastic off, because you reach the factory attachment area. Finish removing her face, and then you are ready to mutilate Symbiote.

Pretty much make the exact same cuts to Symbiote. I never detached the legs from from the base, but I cut the legs off at the groin. I removed the arms (and the shoulder tendrils tend to not come off with the arms, so cut them off separately), and then I cut off his head. After his head was off, I split it in two, getting his face and then a back of the head piece. Keep the face.

Now, it is time to connect the pieces. First connect the face, then the arms, then the shoulder tendrils. Now we get to the hard part. The arms are a little big for the torso, but since the hands are overly large anyway, it doesn't seem too weird. The legs however do not fit together. You will need to file pieces off of Symbiote's thighs for a while until the pieces look natural together. It not important to sculpt her butt, because her hair will cover it, but since she is pretty spread eagle, make sure she has no unlady lumps.

The next step is the easiest, convince your judge to paint them for you =]

This is seriously probably the 3rd easiest mod I have ever made, the first being replacing red hood's puny mailbox with the mailbox plastic man (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/album.php?albumid=285&pictureid=2684) (or the 3d object), and the second is using pieces of the xp iceman to make a Jericho soul jumping out of him (http://www.hcrealms.com/forum/album.php?albumid=285&pictureid=2679) ready to possess someone else. It is so easy, that I made 2 in about 30 minutes.

Good luck with your mods, and I know that making these guys more comic accurate would be better mods, but my goal was to keep the same sculpt for all 5, slightly modding the females. I am crazy happy with how they turned out, and I think all you casual modders out there can do this easy.

Nice! These mods came out really well, nice job on the cutting pasting!

(I'll have to go rep the painter, too).

For Halloween, I'm gonna find someplace inappropriate to post this.

Says PsychoHippie lol.

We should totally have an Artisan's Guild Misquoting Halloween Party thread at the end of next month.

And yes, it did feel awkward typing all of that.

No, I'm pretty sure it's the WB that's doing that.

Wish I had you're skill at painting. I've been working on my own mods of these characters, and although I love the figures I've been able to cobble together, I'm less thrilled with the paint effect I was going for. Instead of looking drybrushed, it looks more slopped on.

Oh, I have no skill at painting. I subcontracted that job =]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to ChiRocker again.

I'll go Rep the painter, though.

I wonder how the WoS Firstar would work for it. Maybe use the hair to make it look like she's leaping?

Who was the first person to say "Big Hands Spaghetti Man on the Can"? I remember reading that post when he said it, but for the life of me I can't remember who said it. I need to give him some necrorep.

EDIT: Ok, so it was d_knight7 who said "Giant-Handed Spaghetti Man Goes To The Toilet" and I have already repped him recently. It's a wonder what that search function does.
