These days, reading comics tends to feel like homework. I've gotten to where I pick up a lot of titles, just to see potential designs within the pages. Tends to by why I'm so behind. As noted before, I'm not a huge Superman fan, but as I was reading through Batman/Superman last week, catching up, Steel caught my eye. My brain began to process how I would make him, and next thing I know, I'm pulling one together. Created after the "death" of Superman, I'm pretty sure Steel ended up being the most popular of that group. He's had a few different designs, but this one comes mostly inspired by his classic look.
Sculpted up the emblem, bottom portion of the gloves, and the belt. Swapped out the lower legs for Iron Man's, then gave him a full repaint. Opted to use Destro's head, and of course, gave him Thor's cape. After that came the hammer. I had a sledgehammer looking missile from some vintage GI Joe that I cut and attached to a dowel. Full repaint with gunmetal and silver and he was finished up. Included a group shot of all 7 Superman customs I've finished these last couple of months...just because. And to think I've even still got a couple more in the works. Recipe: Body - MU Captain America Head - 25th Anniversary Destro Cape - Thor movie Lower Legs - Iron Man 2 Silver Centurion Hammer - dowel + hammer missile

Wow.
My only critique would be to add a metallic wash to the darker areas to bring out some of the detail in the sculpt. Looks great. |
