Awesome. The one change I would make is match the head to the body, because that is a kick a#% paint app on the body!!

i like it alot you could call him sand storm shadow. i would give him sleeveless arms to make him look more like SS though. that and maybe some goggles to protect him from UV and sand. and i would give him a desert camo CLAW cause im crazy

I think this custom came out very well
I'm really liking the blending of colors (dry brush). If I may make but one suggestion?.... I guessing the reason you didn't paint the joint thru is to avoid paint rubbing? But if you thin out your paint, and give it a light coat (film like) you'll see that it will mask the joints with little to no rubbing at all. |

I like it a lot, but I'm always a little thrown off when Tommy has a firearm. Granted I'm only through issue 22 of the Marvel line (and saving the rest for continuity sake), but it just seems a little off to me.
I like the darker head, but painting a hood to match the body would be cool. And the goggles idea seems rather relivant too, maby something like the Akadian visor-thing from the Scorpion King? If doable then that would give the desired field useage and still look "archaic" enough to fit the "ninja" personna. |
