After seeing Bentys awesome Firefly, i decided to get crackin' on some Joes myself. I always wanted to make a Snake Eyes, but i didn't want to do one that looked like his classic look, since i feel like thats really over done. I mean... i might end up doing one anyways, but i didn't want that to be my first one. So i went with one inspired by the kind of recent Pursuit of Cobra version. He's sculpted entirely over a Bucky cap, with his swords built from styrene with sculpt over the handles, and the sheathes are made from heat shrink tubing with the end sculpted over. Enjoy!
I do wish you had of used your blue background for this, I think the black figure on the black background blurs the line between them. The lighter background would of had him pop out.
Still he does look good! Nice work!
I've given up on the blue background though. Something about it was really turning people off. I think it was kind of drowning out detail. I do agree that black on black isn't the best way to show something, but I feel like there are several shots where you can see all the details clearly.
Don't get me wrong, I think you got some good shots. I don't think they are unclear, or anything. I just think they would of popped more using your blue rig. Silly people!
