Nice! The armour looks very well done. I am not familiar with this character so unable to comment on the face.

nice but more detail i know u do it so best of luck and update more pics zakirkhaan.blogspot.com

[nemesis15683]

thank you. i know it seems lacking in detail, but it has to be kept semi simple to match the animated style of the motu busts produced by NECA. there will be more details on the completed sculpt, including a coiled snake in center chest armor, 4 snake heads on armor trim, a serpent head buckle on his belt, 2 snakes on his back (this guy is really into snakes...), and a detailed pedistal base. there are details in the sculpt that don't show very well in the picture. i'll post more when the sculpt is complete. thank you! :)

cool man, you have your whole production team by yourself :) i like how you moulded the helmet, always wondered how that was done.

[nemesis15683]

this was my first attempt at molding and casting. i couldn't be happier w the results.

I remember the character from when I was a nipper.

You've done a really good job on this, incredibly accurate to the original design. The face is very similar to the character and the lines in the armour plating is smooth, concise and sharp. Likewise the details on areas like the snake head buckle are easily on par with the rest of the model.

Very nice, and I really like your pedestals. Now that you see that mold making is quite easy, there will no stopping you.

Well done. I would love to see you approach something of your own design soon. With your skill set, attention to detail, and an original concept, you could really set yourself apart. Keep it up!

[nemesis15683]

thank you all for the confidence boost, i need it.

i do plan to work on my own character designs, and i have a lot of them, but i wanted to establish myself first with a semi known and familiar character.

i will continue to work hard and post my projects here.
