Filecard/Composite Image Updates for 14 July 2009
Mirage & Crazylegs
Design notes:
- My concept for Mirage is based on
the third version
of the figure, which was clothed in an all-green outfit (instead of the radioactive blue of the original figure). I translated the green into a modern woodland MARPAT pattern. Updated his personal info a bit: changed his birthplace from "Molsen, Washington" -- a misspelling of "Molson, Washington," I think -- to "Oroville, Washington," the reason being that Molson is a ghost town and is classified as an unincorporated non-census designated area. Most other Joe birthplaces in the US are incorporated census designated population centers, so I switched to Oroville, the closest census-designated incorporated population center to Moslon (about a couple of miles from the ghost town).
- Crazylegs was tough to redesign. I initially wanted to outfit him in parachutist gear, but I wasn't happy with any of the results (this is also why I took down the Altitude concept pic I posted earlier... not too happy with it and I'll be reworking it). Instead, I opted for a "post-parachuting" look, with the parachute pack and accoutrements already dispensed with (except for the ankle/shin support straps). I also replaced the bright reds of the original character with desaturated browns and tans, in keeping with the approach I've already fostered with other neon/bright red-clad figures.
