Mer-man is a DCSH Parasite body and a Monster Force Creature from the Black Lagoon Hands, Feet, Fins, Gills. LOts of sculpty for his plate like armor. Trident is some fodder I pulled together.
I remember seeing "Monster Squad" as a kid and thinking that the gill man would have been an awesome Mer-man for a real life MOTU movie.
Thanks for looking, feedback and comments welcome.
Very creative way to represent my favorite He Man villian (besides Skeletor). He would be on my shelf instead of the bottom of my aquarium like I did with the MOTU 02 one I got.
Glennwebman69: I agree that his armor could have reflected the classic look a bit more, especially with the pushing of the design. I actually tried to incoorporate more of the classic look orginally. Even his face had the orange kind of coloring but with the shape of the face it didn't look right to me. Same with his armor, his body made it hard to do.
BTW his loin cloth is foamie sheet with earphone wire, cut and glued to look like a fin. I cut out a diamond shape, cut that into four pieces, and glued them back together with earphone wire in between.
I love the original takes on the characters.
And then I said to myself.....that's my boy- Madtinker.....great work!!!!!
