So, for me Banzai is the most brutal of the bunch. I think I like this concept but not sure about the execution

I like this one a lot man. The base pink looks a little soft but that might be the photo/lighting since it looks a little brighter in the last pic than the first.
Otherwise, besides the head, the parts come together really well and the splatter on the arms/legs is a particularly nice touch.

The MTF armored mask skews the proportions. Almost like a grey alien head.

I for one dig the high-boot/thigh-armor look which would be lost by making the pants black all the way up. One idea might be to use the accent pink you're using on the mask for the top part of the pants? It would give you two different tones to avoid the leotard look, but keep it different from the black boots. Or maybe they're too close to make much of a difference? Your call. Other ideas that might help balance the colors out a bit: 1) make the black belt thicker and a bit more pronounced, maybe even with a removable one 2) Use the accent pink somewhere else beyond the mask, and maybe even swap the colors on the mask (so the cross lines are lighter like the base shirt and the mask matches the accents elsewhere) 3) Swap the shoulder belt to the other shoulder so it balances the black of the molded-on black harness. Just ideas, no idea if they'll help or not

Huge fan of the concept as well as the parts used. Cool execution as well. This character is badass.
My only suggestion that may help make it more of a convincing case for you in terms of execution would be to change colors on the mask from pink/red to black with pink stripes. I say this having in mind the color scheme of the club version where the purple was the minority color, head being in purple, and black was the dominant one. I see the reverse here which is why I think black mask with pink accents would look nice IMO. Adding a belt with a ninja flare would compliment it nicely too. Like it a lot regardless. |
