This piece is a gift for a friend I have known since high school that has been encouraging my custom abilities. He publicly came out recently, so I felt this was appropriate. Thank God it is a gift because there is no way in hell I am going to paint that many shades on this armor EVER again!

LOL man. You did a nice job on the paint apps but it should have a Tatum head.

So because he is gay he would want a flaming duke? His stand looks like a disco light.

I knew that stuff with Scarlett was all a cover, Now there will be nothing in the way for her to pursue her romance with Ripcord.

The Tatum head wasn't a good color match to the Mindbender torso and I SUCK at color-matching skin tones. Tatum has a bigger head than Rocket Boy Duke, so the armor wouldn't fit quite right. |

I'm so confused right now...
Should I be upset? Should I avoid him? Should I accept him as he is? ...Maybe it's just a phase he's going through.

Great execution, and quite the nod to the Rainbow Coalition. Not homophobic here, and I think its great that you did this for your friend.
Oddly enough, I met a gay young man in Target last night and he was a MArvel LEgends and DC Universe collector. Said it was the only thing he and his dad could connect with each other, because his dad shared his love of comics with him growing up. I shared with him that I had done the same for my kids with Marvel and GI Joe. He told me his friends give him crap for collecting toys. And I thought it was a straight guy thing.

Great workâespecially on the technical level, with all those shades. Maybe you could add on to the figure by giving him a rainbow flag as a guidon...which he could plant, Iwo Jima style, on a pile of slain Cobras! |

Is this setting us up for a Rainbow Brite/GI Joe crossover?
Your paint apps are beautiful, and the color scheme is really eye-catching.
