Kick ass custom of the week part… err… I lost track
So yeah, I've kind of lost track on exactly how many of these I've done, but regardless, I've seen another kick ass custom to talk about. I think most folks who are familiar with customs these days (especially comic-based ones) know the work of Jin Saotome. I've...
