Well after a lot of greenstuff I think it's coming around. But before I finish off the sculpting, I wanted to get some opinions....most importantly on the left kneepad since I'm trying to get them as close to the comic as possible.

Well it's going to be Ben Santini from Stormwatch Team Achilles, but at this point, he could be one of 4-5 members of his team since they all dress similarly. I just put that head on to fill the space until I can find one that works.

it certainly looks liek a lot of skill and tiem was put into it, despite not knowing what it's supossed to refernce. perhaps posting pictures of the reference characters would make these type of customs much easier to admire and appreciate. to me it looks awsome as is but i have no idea who storwatch is.

I think you got it spot on or at least REALLY really close. Great job!

Now this pic is a cover, but the cover artist slimmed down the gear a bit in comparison to the interior art but he basically nailed the look.
Explanation of the book from wikipedia: "Stormwatch: Team Achilles differed from the previous super-hero-centric Stormwatch groups in that it centered on a team consisting mostly of 'normal' human beings from various global Special Forces/Counter-Terrorist organizations acting as a small UN troubleshooting team. The stated mission of Team Achilles was to kill or capture criminal superhumans.... ....Some fans have happily called Team Achilles "G.I. Joe for Grownups" and noted comics writer Kurt Busiek wrote "it's like Sgt. Rock, but with Superheroes." Although the enemies in the comic book have been the typical fantastic archetypes seen in comics, the weapons used by the Stormwatch team were mostly real-world weapons systems (such as the Barrett M82A1). Realistic weapons as well as tactics are used by the non-powered Team Achilles members to take down the physically superior enemies seen in the comic...." |
