I hate Skuttles but those are some nice color schemes / applications you have going on there. I especially like the burnt orange one. Good job.

I love Touma's Skuttles and up to know think I'm missing maybe one release ( Circus Punks Red clear from this year).
Your customs look excellent, well done

Thanks for the comments everyone. Yeah I know skuttles aren't for everyone, but they were my "gateway to the east." I don't collect any other touma stuff because I think it's all a little too bubbly or something (like the mao cat and pappitz), but the skuttle is still one of my favs.
I'm using rit dye for the clear parts and painting the accent colors with some craft type acrylics. On the WVU themed one, the inside is painted with yellow to make the yellow dye "pop" more. I'm gonna start using my airbrush more though, and I'm hopefully going to place a huge order for v-color soon!

He already said he knew they weren't for everyone and he spent a few months on these and the work he did looks really good, maybe you wouldn't have so much built up anger in you if you killed and ate an animal every now and then.
The colorways are nice and the application is clean, though I am not a skuttle fan I do like the work you did and I think they came out amazing, the 2nd one looks awesome the clear blue with matte blue looks so cool.

Appreciate trying to stick up for skuttles everybody, but I really don't care that everyone doesn't like them. I like them.......ooooooooooooooooo........deal with it. I also like other stuff, and dislike other stuff (of which would offend many on this board if I said what I disliked), but none of that is relevant to this thread. So thanks to those who have posted comments of the customs!
