Earlier this month toy custom artist Kat Brunnegraff had her Black Hole custom featured on our blog here at Custom Toy Lab. This time she’s back with a tutorial for us showing exactly how she makes her customs from start to finish. If you’re curious about just how she achieves her night-style looking customs that she’s known for, you’ll definitely wanted to read this tutorial.

The Story:

Sometimes on their journeys Night Walkers get lost in unfamiliar skies. Similar to a chameleon a Night Walker will change it’s colors to match it’s surroundings. This particular Night Walker got lost somewhere near the Horse Head Nebula and turned red!
