Speedodad meets Columbus
« on: February 07, 2013, 13:55:03 »
Not much time momentarily, so I made a very rudimentary setup...

In addition to my older Aztec/Maya customs based on "normal" klickies, I now wanted to try out the new swimsuit-style Native Americans as a base for South-American jungle indians of let's say around AD 1500.

So, below my first "speedodad/swimsuit"- Jungle Indian...

A Western-Indian's torso is combined with the naked legs of an athlete from the Olympic series (beachvolleyball).
Compared with "normal" figures, the klicky has  less width, so some (larger) hairwigs can look weird on it, and I also decided not to give this one headgear with feathers and such, as it would make the figure look too disproportianal...

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

Yes, great idea! Clickies already have oversized heads so who cares? You can try feathers, I think it will look nice.

Looks great Hadoque! We haven't seen many customs yet with the new body style. Now we're starting to have enough parts to work with for customs. :love:

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Very nice custom. I really like these indians but the legs are starting to look very long to me. I guess the old klickies had that area that attatched the legs together and now the legs look like they go all the way up to the crotch.

Its a great custom and I too want some, as if we all do not have enough to do now you give us great ideas  ;)

Thanks for sharing Hodoque
