Inspired by the statue by Bisley, this custom tries to capture certain similar elements like the massive steroid-induced biceps, a tiny waist, freaked-out forearm spikes, and even went one step further by adding a removable cowl. The mask was made from several layers of vinyl, using heat from a blow dryer to mold it into the shape. The bat ears were borrowed from an actual piece of crab claw, sculpted onto the cowl and painted over in acrylic. Modifications were made to the Dark Knight Superman head to resemble Bruce Wayne, attached it to the Hulk torso with a swivel neck. The enormous cape was made from scratch, using plastic and vinyl, and reinforced with apoxie. In trying to create a contrast with the upper torso, chose legs from a ML Punisher figure that had awesome articulation. The boots were resculpted for better proportion, and reworked the fists from the DK Superman for the gloves. And finally found a utility belt that fit from Hellboy.
Thanks again for checking it out! Wishing a safe and awesome holiday season to the Realmers. See you all in the New Year!
