Made this for a contest where you had to make an ultimate Snake Eyes.
I can totally imagine people seeing this in a SE contest and think: "Uhm, what am I looking at here? What was he thinking?" I certainly wouldn't vote on it myself when the goal was to make an ultimate SE, hahaha!
I know this is a pretty strange entry, but I challenged myself to go for the alternative route with SE. Brainstorming of what I would make took me a lot of time. Then all of the sudden I thought of what I could do taking that code name literally, something with real snake camouflage. Going through my parts bin I found the Pythona parts and those weird round spots on her body might just make good eyes. Next I had to find a suitable head, because the Pythona head was already saved for a different project. It had to be a strange head as well, to make it fit with the extraordinary body. The one from Predator was laying around for a long time, but was now alien enough to serve as an alternative SE. I just had to paint it in a way so it wouldn't look too obvious as a Predator.
Painting all those snake eyes was a real pain with that cursed yellow and the surface of the Pythona parts was pretty rough in some spots. These kind of eyes do exist in real life with a certain snake species.
For a background story I still haven't figured out yet how she would fit in the G.I.Joe verse. I guess this could be a new addition to Cobra La, an alien fighter recruited by Golobulus who has strange new weapons and an unseen camouflage suit.
What do you think?

Snake eyes...I get it. Beautifully painted

I like it! Really cool reimagining with great part selection and an awesome paint job.

Haha, I could imagine how tough that paint job was to knock out, especially to make those thin yellow lines that pop. You nailed it though! Great job.

Like the line of thinking with the backstory too, definitely has that Cobra La feel to her.

Yeah, the yellow was a pain! I'm starting to like the Cobra La backstory more and more, yes. Seems to be most appropriate for such a weird custom.
