This week I really wanted to fix up a Sinister Six. A complete team with a pseudo leader and everything. But, I ended up being really busy over New Years and simply never could get it done. I did manage four though. And among them was this man, Swarm. In a story that is completely believable, and not at all out there, this guy who once served with Hitler, goes to South America and becomes a beekeeper. He discovers a mutated hive and tries to enslave the queen, as one is wont to do in such a situation. Surprisingly, the bees don't like that, and end up devouring him. But, his consciousness is absorbed into the bees, and he ends up controlling them anyway. So, now he's literally just a skeleton surrounded by a bunch of bees.
I've seen numerous approaches to this guy, but I couldn't really settle on one. I didn't want to take the fully resculpted direction, because I'm still working on that. My current knowledge would cut off too much articulation. But, I didn't want to do the basic repaint approach, either. So, I just split the difference and sculpted patches here and there, and tried to shape them a little differently than I usually do fur. Then, I gave him a black repaint and drybrushed a shade of yellow-orange over it. I thought it worked. Head for Cloak, and cape from Scarlet Witch were all it took to finish him off. I wanted to use Cloak's cape, too, but I never could get it properly resized. Recipe: Body - MU Captain America Head - MU Cloak Cape - MU Scarlet Witch
