Many thanks, guys. It's a decal. I originally wanted to hand-paint it but at the time I made this I was preparing for the bar exmas so I didn't get much free time. Still it took me about 2 hours to apply the decal over the sculpted muscle and cutting here and there to work the articulation. I think it looks way better than that MotU vest-thing Tommy came with.
Kumusta sa lahat ng Noypi!

Now to find one of those decals.. LOL
Great job on the custom. I really liked the Sigma 6 SS that had this tatt.

Thanks, Magick. I got the decal for 10 Philippine Pesos; that's about under 20 American cents. Really cheap IMO.

Hi, everyone. I'm a bit of a n00b here and this is my 1st "extreme" custom.
Basically it's Storm Shadow from the Firefly/SS comic pack. I really hated his MotU-style vest-thing so I gave him this dragon tattoo as seen in his Sigma 6 incarnation. I must say that it's a vast improvement. I deliberately put the dragon's open mouth on Tommy's navel since according to Chinese philosophy the "chi" comes from the stomach, not the chest. Since the Arashikage follow the Chinese "I-Ching" I believe that the dragon's head on the stomach makes more sense. Likewise, I upped the dragon design considerably because ninja and yakuza tats in popular media are always huge and eye-catching. I added the red sash for last to add some contrast. I hope you guys like it. I'll me be making more customs soon when I get some free time. BTW to all Filipinos, happy Halloween and naway magkaroon tayo ng payapang Undas. |
