Thanks gentlemen. It was kind of a puzzle to figure out just how I wanted him. I took a huge break from this figure and wasn’t sure I wanted to finish him, but I’m glad I did. While I was looking for potential concept art to use, I thought this one should be easy - Wrong! I had figured that the Cobra Combat Ninja head was based on this early art, and was an obvious choice but it turned out to be way too small for the ninja body. When I realized that the cartoon Renegades Storm Shadow head could work if modified, that kicked it off. Then the Renegades Ninja Viper legs were needed for the baggier pants, but the rest had to be Retaliation Red Ninja. I had to modify the lower arms as well, and build the harness from scratch as mentioned previously. If only I had the energy to make a bunch of them, and build an icy mountainous diorama! The concept art for the Retaliation movie Red Ninjas went through several phases and it would be cool to have each of the different versions that Snake Eyes and Jinx could fight off. That will have to be a pipe dream for now.

To my understanding, the concept art inspiring this custom has never been featured on Hisstank. At least I can't find it. I appreciate the way the artist, Kemp Remillard, interpreted Frostbite as mean, hardened, and adapted to the unforgiving climate that gave him his codename and maybe cost him some toes. This is not the warm smiling driver we remember, but a rock of weathered toughness. There was no way to create the bulk required to make it just like the concept art, but I did my best. After 2 years hiatus on this thread, please enjoy another update...
And please check out Mr Remillard's awesome website. you may find a few new and familiar things there: https://www.kempart.com/commercial#11182_image_863452 |

This is amazing.
Good use of the snow dusting on the rope and beard. If anything, is awesome as the base artwork is, your interpretation of it using not-as-bulky parts looks better. Fortnite body parts? |

That is an amazing custom. I actually prefer the not-as-bulky silhouette of your figure. Superb.
