Thanks everyone! I'm glad you all like 'em. The Cats were a favorite of mine as a kid and with the demise of Wildstorm, well it just seemed like it was about time.
GI Guppy - I've got a couple more Wildstorm characters in the pipeline. I don't want to spoil anything, but lets just say I'm working on a Midnighter custom. Wait...was that a spoiler? Oh well. Yeah, I'm working on a Midnighter and a few others. !!SNAKE-EYES!! - Void was a head scratcher for me. I still intend to make her, but I'm trying to come up with a way to redesign her. I mean, how do you redesign a silver chick? Do I go more robotic looking? More alien looking? Organic? Robotic? How do I sway it towards the militaristic look I've got with the rest of the team? It's a stumper. As for Lord Emp - I don't have a lot of little person fodder. At least not any that aren't Yoda. Anyone got any ideas? mr_david - I'm looking forward to see your WildC.A.T.s! |

Void is even more of a head scratcher. She's the only character that's been virtually unchanged over the years. If you try to make her more military, it's going to be hard not to make her into the Engineer. The only thing I'd think about is Void's "vessel" was a Russian Cosmonaut if i'm not mistaken. That could be interesting. After getting the news about the company, I started on my own Wildstorm customs too but I'm sticking to more military theme with Stormwatch Team Achilles characters. |

Wasn't another once called Void? In any case, these rock hard balls. As a Jim Lee fan, I thank you Sir.

Wow, these are great. Always dug the WildC.A.T.s designs, and you've certainly done them justice with your customs.

Thanks everyone! I'm feelin' the love!
lance858a - yeah, me and GI Guppy were trying to figure out a redesign for Void. I'd love your input as your redesigns with the Rebel Angels are just awesome. Quote:
Emp is going to be a big head scratcher unless Marvel comes out with a Puck. Outside of that, you're almost forced to sculpt a version 3.0.
Void is even more of a head scratcher. She's the only character that's been virtually unchanged over the years. If you try to make her more military, it's going to be hard not to make her into the Engineer. The only thing I'd think about is Void's "vessel" was a Russian Cosmonaut if i'm not mistaken.

Anyhow, hmmm, redesign this? I admit that it has been years since I had Wildcats #1 in my hands. As such, I don't know enough about the character. The fact that I even remembered the character speaks volumes to Jim Lee's creation. You probably don't need to hear this but I would research the character, her origins, powers and try to retain the key aspects of the character so that anyone would instantly recognize her despite your redesign (which you've already done a fantastic job with on the other characters) Having said that, I think the silver is a must, a hairless head is a must, and form fitting suit/body should be subject to some change as this is a redesign attempt. For the silver, I might be tempted to try Testors metal buffering spray paint. I think they make Chrome. I've used something like that before and the results were great. Once it dries, you buff it like crazy and it finishes just like real metal. The head needs to have a true beauty face b/c ppl will need to immediatley recognize it as a female head despite not having any hair. I might try attaching 25th scarlett face onto a spare SS haed or some other ninja looking head (maybe even 25th Snow job head). If that doesn't work for you, I can send you a cast POTC Elizabeth Swan face that you can cut and attach. I've used that face for most of my female customs. As for the body, I have no idea. I wouldn't want my Void to carry machine guns and clips so I would not do a military look. Void, Zealot, and Fairchild (Gen13) were the always thoroughly enjoy seeing your point of view.

Those came out awesome.
Needs Void and Emp to round out the set, but really great job.
