The Murda Lair 2009/Reconstruction

[DialM4Murda]

I'm going to make a long story short.... My PS3 crapped out on me. I needed to get it fixed. I sent it to the Playstation people to get serviced. They exchanged my broken out for a new one. I had a 250 GB Hard Drive that I upgraded my old system with. They sent it back to me with the new PS3. I had to install my hard drive into the new PS3. It had to be formatted and in order to do that, whatever data that was on the hard drive had to be wiped out. Which means all my saved data was wiped out. And because I hadn't backed up any of my saved data on anything prior to the breaking of my old PS3, all my saved data is now gone. Which means all my CAWs are now gone. Luckily, I had some formulas still around. So not all is lost. A few of my CAWs will have their old faces. But I've basically have to start from scratch. Been busying running through all the RTWMs and unlocking everything. So.. Yeah. Time to rebuild. Here we go.



First one to be recreated was Jin Remmy. I had the formula for him, obviously. So he looks pretty much the same as I last had him. I decided to go into a different direction with Remmy as far as an attire goes for. I usually go for a more 'street attire.' Coming out in regular, casual clothing to beat the hell out of somebody. I decided to try and go with a more wrestling oriented attire for him this time. Kind of simplistic, but I like it. Gave Remmy a new tattoo that was on my last version after I submitted him into GCW. It's a recycled design that I put on the 2008 Mercutio Foxx's shirt. I liked the way it looked and thought it would make for a good tattoo. Since I've always wanted Remmy to have tats, but have constantly been removing and changing since 2007. Even now, he had tats on the GCW version last season, but they're gone now. Laser removal ftw. lol I think this tat might be permanent though. I'm liking it. I think this look really works well for Remmy. Used all 32 layers, but it's not too messy I don't think. Anyways, yeah... Here's the new Jin Remmy.



It's my recreation of my flagship CAW, Tha Infamous 187. Or... as his name change says... Hurricane Murda. XD lol It's another moniker that can be added to the list of nicknames that he's collected over the years. It's a nickname I had come up with on 2007 and had even made an alternate attire that I'd never had showcased. Decided to use that name for him when I recreated him. Kind of like the logo I came up with too. It's nothing special, but I like it. You might notice there's a little difference in how 187 looks. I did have the formula for him, but I decided to tweak it just a little bit. Still the same ol' 187 though. I'm content with this attire. 187 is one of many I'm constantly tweaking and editing the attire for since I'm never happy with what he's wearing. This is okay, could be better in my opinion, but I'm content with it. >.> *wants the Steve Austin skulls back* Anyways... Stand back! There's a hurricane coming through! XD lmao

[DialM4Murda]

Human Crack in the Flesh. He's the last of the best. One word to describe him? SPECTACULAR! Yes! lol The one, the only... Jay Crack. Otherwise known as Your Own Personal Jesus, or The Messiah. I wasn't too sure what kind of an attire I wanted to give Jay, so I decided to do a little throw back to the old APW days with a Crack Roxx kind of an attire from his undefeated APW Tag Team title rain with Nattie Roxx. XD The Save Us Y2J logo works beautifully for the Messiah persona of Jay Crack. Jay Crack's face has been completely reworked. He was one who was unfortunate enough to not have a formula available for him. But in my opinion, I'm digging this face much more than the old one. Don't know why. Something about it just kind of says he's maturing as a human being. He's lost the trademark pointy sideburns he used to had for a different facial hair. I'm content with the way Jay Crack looks here.



"The Rose That Grew From Concrete" Kenisha Williams. Little sister of Jay Crack. Older sister of Cherise Williams. Unofficial sister of The Familia. And Tha Infamous 187's baby momma. XD lol Another one of the unfortunate ones that didn't have a formula available, but at the same time, I'm liking her face more than the original like I am with Jay Crack's face. I changed her hairstyle from the ponytail to just letting it all down. It kind of reminds me of how she initially looked back in the LXW Diva Search Contest prior to her ponytail in-ring look. Her attire is a new concept. Usually have a difficult time coming up with female CAW attires, but this one works for me. Kind of simple, but I think it's pretty effective. One new little detail I decided to add was 187's initials on her left shoulder blade. A.T. for Adrian Taylor. Might add to it, might leave it. Might remove it. Don't know yet. But I think she turned out to be a successful recreation.

Impressive my good man.. Keep up the good work

[DialM4Murda]

Thanks.

The final product for Young Felony is finished. Another no-formula reconstruction. Like Jay Crack, I completely reworked Felony's face from scratch. I based his face off of Tommy "Tiny" Lister. You might know him as Zeus waaaaay back in the day in WWF or from movies that he's been in. Like as Deebo in Friday, the tattooed prison from Dark Knight who threw the bomb control out the window on the boat, and others. I wanted Young Felony to have this angry and scary look to him. And well... Tiny is a scary looking dude. XD His attire is relatively the same as his previous version. Only real changes is he doesn't wear the single glove and I added the dog ripping through the vest design on the back. I think he came out much better this time around like the rest. I'm liking the AMW's enforcer's new look. ;D

[spyder78]

Damn leave out the greatest movie ever No Holds Barred man tsk tsk.. Very nice that dog ripping vest is sweet man.. Nicely done yet again my good man

[DialM4Murda]

XD Damn. That is right. No Holds Barred was where the whole Zeus thing stemmed from. Totally forgot about that movie.

Thanks for the comment. XP

Next up would be the most psychotic psycho in all of psychosville... lol My own little bundle of evil... Smiley. I have the formula typed up for him, so he didn't change from his original model. The attire is completely new, kind of similiar to the stuff that Mari O'Nette has on. I think the coat and hat are a nice touch. Don't know what the coat is supposed to be specifically geared towards, but it looks like one of those coats that the Ringmasters wear at carnivals and the circus. Thought it would be fitting for the new theme that he and Mari O'Nette have been using, "The Greatest Show Unearthed" by Creature Feature. Face paint is a reused design you might recognize if you've been to my Youtube page. I got Smiley plastered across it as my background picture. I like this look. Might change the under shirt though to polka dots or something.



After Smiley comes that new CAW I was talking about. This guys name is Nero. I've been fiddling around with his attire for a little bit. Not quite sure what to do with it. Kind of just settled on this simple look for him. His name is Nero, and facially I've based him on the Graverobber character from REPO! The Genetic Opera. (Awesome film, I might add. Want to see the stage play.) The actor who played him is named Terrance Zdunich. I liked the way the character looked and thought it would make for an interesting challenge to replicate or based it off of for a CAW. Character wise for Nero? He's something of a devil's advocate kind of character. I'm kind of stuck between two different hairstyles for him. Not sure which to go with. Here's the two hairstyles...



What do you guys think?

[j]

Smiley looks like he took out the ringmaster and runs the show now. he looks good man. As for Nero he looks good too for the hair I prefer the right.

[maniac71690]

Like the jacket you chose lol. I actually went a different route in creating a "ringmaster" clown look though lol. but you're still fits and actually better than mine.

Also, your jacket can have dual purposes lol. Cuz change color up a bit maybe and replace top hat with pirate and bam Captain Smiley lol.

[DialM4Murda]

Thanks. XD Captain Smiley and Giggles would've owned VWA if it was still going on. Even though it was for a short time, I loved RPing Captain Smiley. And with Giggles evil self running along side him, it was great. lol Might try and recreate a Captain Smiley version of him again in the future.

[spyder78]

Damn man I like this version of Smiley the most.. No offense to previous ones thou

The 2nd hair choice for Nero works better too

[DialM4Murda]

Thanks. No offense taken.

I think I'm going to keep the streaked hair. It does seem to fit better than the other hair for Nero.

[chelsea.staub]

Totally go with the streaked version.

[DialM4Murda]

The artist formerly known as Vicious. lol He was originally named Vicious, but for 2009 I changed his named to Dorian Loveless. Did not have the formula for him, so I had to create him my best from scratch. I think he actually came out a little better than his original model. Gives off a kind of an evil stare, which is what I was going for. His attire is a pretty new concept. Usually I went for the old school Jericho look with him. With this, I kind of went with a Vega from Street Fighter inspired attire for him. Not really sure what kind of character he should be, but after making the change from Vicious to Dorian Loveless, something about him makes me what to say an aristocrat kind of character. A heel aristocrat with a very high opinion of himself. lol I'm happy with this version. I think he came out pretty well.



Former child assassin from the secret government program to turn traumitized orphans into killing machines. The same as what Jin Remmy would have been, if not for the amnesia from a bump on the head from a mission gone awry. The same as what Sophia Martina is. That was until Mercutio Foxx had gone rogue and left the program on his own free will. That's the e-fed version of Mercutio Foxx. lol That character doesn't necessarily come through in his regular wrestling attire. His face was reconstructed from scratch. I think it's by far my closest reproduction to it's original model so far. There are some minor things that don't look exact, but I think it's the closest one so far. I didn't really try anything new for his face. I based his face off of Zelman Clock from the Black Blood Brothers anime once again. His attire is still the "Sick" Nick Mondo route. I tried some different ideas with him, but nothing seemed to fit at all. So I went back with the same route he's always had. It's a different version from what he had previously, but still the same idea.

[spyder78]

Very nice man.. The Vega look fits Dorian very well.. and Foxx attire looks kickass man

[DialM4Murda]

;D Thanks. lol I personally love the way Dorian looks. One of my favorite creations so far in the reconstruction of my lab.

Currently uploading an entrance video for him on Youtube at the moment. Forgot to record his finishers and sigs, but an entrance video nonetheless. >.> I hope Youtube doesn't pull a music copyright slap on me.

[spyder78]

OH man don't get me going as well as others who have hit that copyright wall as well >-<

Crosses fingers & toes for ya thou XD

[Pedley]

Great work Liking the design on 187's jacket, All of them are top notch creations

[maniac71690]

Foxx looks good. Same with Dorian. Didn't Foxx have face paint in his last attire? lol.

[DialM4Murda]

Thanks. ;D

Nope. Foxx hasn't worn face paint ever. The closest thing to face paint I put on Foxx is the thin eye liner to give off the dark outline effect around most anime character eyes. Other than that, the only thing that's been on his face is the DBZ Scouter on the "What If...?" version. Never have put face paint on him though.

[maniac71690]

now i'm gonna be going nuts trying to figure out who i'm thinking of that had the face paint lol. oh well guess memory goes when sanity does lol.

[j]

I am loving the new additions here

Dorian's tights look amazing and a clever idea you used there *two thumbs up* I like Foxx's design also.

*Eagerly awaits further installments*

[DialM4Murda]

Well I've got one new addition that I've been kicking around the old lab.



The freak is off his leash again. This is my recreation of Dante Cervantes. Another unfortunate no-formula. I've had him recreated, but for the life of me, I couldn't sit on a definite attire for him. >.> Old blood vampires are hard to make attires for. Don't want him to look like the stereotypical vampire, but I want him to give off the impression he's a vampire too. You would think being 500+ years in age, he would have a vast wardrobe. XD I decided to resurrect his rockstar version. Thank you Queen of the Damned. Here we have the lead singer of the rock band Phenoms, Dante Cervantes. It's nothing special but, it works for him.

[spyder78]

Nice touch with the floating skull effect on the shirt, I liked his attire last year.. this one:



But his rockstar gimmick kicks arse too
