I am a hyena fanatic, and it's hard to find cute toys of them, so a few months ago I took that matter into my own hands. These were done in December. They were my first customs ever. Striped and spotted ones, though more people are familiar with the spotted.

WOW!! Those are REALLY your first customs?? That is truly AMAZING!! I love the whole set! Now you should do a base for them...all you have to go get is polymer clay (sculpty or such) and you will see how much fun the bases are to make! You obviously already have been painting or crafting for awhile...I am sure you could make a wonderful little cave-like home for them.... They are just amazing!! Great great job!! I like the striped grey one best!

@ allison I like him, too. I think the rounded ears are better for a spotted hyena. mrsvaldenThanks moretoys4youYup, the very first one was the one on the far left. I'm gradually learning how to use Milliput (it's the only local thing I could find for now) and also discovering how to decently paint the eyes. I recently did a fox and I think his eyes are so far my best. For the painting/crafting, I was never much of a crafter, but I'm an illustrator by trade.

I LOVE them! They are so so cute! ;D I actually love the one on the far left the best, which you said was your first! How about that? Your first custom is way nicer than mine (I'm getting shyer and shyer [is that even a word?] about posting pics, lol!) Very professional looking! If you make more hyenas, I too would LOVE one! They're just adorable! I've loved hyenas ever since The Lion King came out when I was a kid, lol. Very nice job!

mysticrose29: I can do more hyenas. I just started doing a different body style to them, if that's what is wanted. I'll make another post about it @mrs e: Thanks, I'm trying to improve my paintjobs, as my hand isn't always so steady. Eyes are so hard to do, too!

Those are really great. I think the 3rd one is my favorite tho. I wish I had the talant to attempt a custom or 2. I'm sure my first one's wouldn't look as good as yours.

I'm right there with you... staring at my first custom (well repaint, anyway) right now.. he's cute but nothing like this! Although he's a bratz, not LPS- wasn't going to ruin one of those cuties for my first lol. Hopefully will clearcoat him tomorrow and post pics... but yeah.. I'm totally impressed by these!
