![[(Lee Romao Inspired) Popeye the Sailor Man] Since I haven't posted in a while, mostly due to lack of photo taking, and I am trying to help promote the fundraiser you guys may have seen on the showcase home...thought I'd post one. This is one not too old and I already had pics of him. I will be posting more coming soon in hopes of helping out the breast cancer fundraiser.
This Popeye was made for a contest on another site a couple months ago. He is based roughly on Lee Romao's popular CG artwork that has been floating around the internet. Romao did a beautiful job of capturing the work of E.C. Segar's inspirations for the character. A wonderfully imagined tribute to one of my favorite cartoon tough guys!
He is mostly a WWE Elite base sanded down and resculpted. The head is a custom sculpt as was the pipe and hat. I hope you enjoy. Thank you and as always comments are always welcome!](userimages/customs/49500/49429-1.jpg) (Lee Romao Inspired) Popeye the Sailor Man Originalby RedRebelCustomsSince I haven't posted in a while, mostly due to lack of photo taking, and I am trying to help promote the fundraiser you guys may have seen on the sh...41 comments | ![[Popeye the Sailor Man (Real Life)] Bases: Body of Punisher Movie, casted head of SF Sota Dalshin, hands of Select Thor and boots of Neca Duke Nuken.
Resculpt parts of the face (chin and nose), forearms, neck and shirt buttons and seam of the legs with epoxy.
The cap is of Major Maxim (McFarlane Danger Girl), slightly modified, and the spinach I made using a can of Polly also modified appropriately.
The pipe was sculpted with epoxy and the tip has a piece of pin that fits in a small hole in the mouth of the figure.
