So much drama 'n the LBCs

I loved the 25th Duke. Then we got more and more and more and more and more and it just looked bad. Really bad. With a small baby head, crappy slit arms, the wrong gear... With what seemed like a hundred releases since the first "25th" construction Duke waaaay back in 2007, we still haven't gotten a "Hall of Heroes" or "Ultimate" ARAH Duke, as much as I loved some of the more recent takes of Duke. So this is my take on him... Compliments to SDS and their amazing sculpting/casting for making it possible.

Greak work! I can't paint eyes to save my life. That Keel Haul is also spectacular.

Nice painting and nice photos, man. I especially like Keel Haul. But if you're looking for feedback, I think that Duke head is bit too big for that body.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Resolute Scarlett is pretty ghastly from the neck up, but it's still my favorite version of her yet. She's got freakishly pale skin and a crazy melon, although I actually cut off a good bit of her head and then reattached her hair. She was much worse originally. I'll get around to repainting her head one of these days. Yep, it's too big. I actually made that exact same comment to SDS. It's probably 10-15% too large, but it's still the best Duke head I've seen. It took a little for me to get used to since the original is such a baby-sized noggin, but it's not too bobble-head that it looks completely off. I'm hoping they can somehow resize it or something down the road, and if they do, I'll replace it more than likely. Good eye, that was my only real complaint about the head.
