Cannonball was a 2005 character in the New Sculpt era made of thrown together parts that didn't flow together well. The character is forgettable, but I did my best to give some personality to the unremarkable pilot. If you forgot that this character existed, no one is surprised.
Okay, as for Scarlett, I'm retouching some of my early Every Joe pieces. Scarlett was the very first, and pulled from her 1982 design and even some of the NS figures. I listened to the criticisms about the proportions being too average and not "superhero" enough. I basically stretched out the legs to make Scarlett look more like a 5'11" woman than a 5'3" one. And I reworked the jawline to have more a V shape than a U shape. For the Scarlett recolors, I chose the NS era "Desert Patrol Squad" deco (which should have just been her Tiger Force figure) for one. For the other, I was inspired by the colors seen on Scarlett's ROC uniform. I'll still be ignoring the movies for the most part, but it was an easy recolor...

Thanks, guys!
I also like the green Scarlett. The NS figure from which the colors are pulled is kind of a forgotten gem. |

Well done on all the pieces. Now he has a well-dressed navigator for the next Cannonball Run, too.

You always somehow find these characters that I totally miss when doing YoJoe deep dives! Don’t remember seeing Cannonball before, if I did, probably assumed he was just a repainted Shipwreck or something. You did a great job with him, very old school looking character outside of the yellow accents so really liking how you tackled his uniform. Gave him a ton of personality in his face as well.
Really like the Scarlett as well, that’s a great pose and the changes you noted all came together really well for her. All three uniforms look awesome, think the Tiger Stripes are my favorite.

Thanks, all!
I worked heavily with photo reference for the earlier pieces. I used more models, so the pieces looked less artistic/exaggerated. Scarlett was based on a friend who had modeled for me for a Wonder Woman portfolio piece back in 2000, so it was a good photo to translate into Scarlett. As I drifted further into the project, I just started going for it and drawing without much reference. That might be why the BWS vibe has disappeared by the time I got around to Cannonball. There are tradeoffs. Eventually I'd like to find the middle ground. I couldn't find much to do with Cannonball, so I'm happy that the personality in the face shows through. We need another Cannonball run movie!! Last edited by Clockwise; 06-04-2021 at 09:13 PM.. Reason: typo |
