So fellow Fwoosher Jorden won the Genesis figure I made a couple weeks back (fun fact: I think he lives in the same apartment I used to live in), and asked if I'd make him a Kenji from Generation Hope as well. I wasn't familiar with the character at all, so he provided a couple picture for me of his latest design, where he has more robotic looking parts instead of fleshy ones. So using those as the base, I ordered a HML Silver Surfer and got to work on him. I made his claws by cutting the fingers off of a pair of Wraarl hands, and splicing on the fingers from this little bust of one of the clockwork soldiers from Hellboy 2: The Golden Army. Sculpted some openings in his skin to show some metal, and added some gribblies from a model helicopter i had sitting around for some reason. Finished him off with some fishing line for the wires on his body. Added bonus for the SS base is that if theres any paint rub, which hopefully there won't be, it'll be silver, which kind of works with Kenji. Anyways, here we go:
I love everything about this piece of art!
Truth is that in most of his early appearances, he only had weird little nubs for his ears anyways, so I kind of just meshed the designs so I wouldn't have to splice ears on, cause that almost never ends up looking right when I do it.
