I figured I'd do a post-axis Sabretooth because I haven't seen any. I like the brown-and-mustard outfit from Uncanny Avengers better than the black and yellow X-men outfit because there are a lot of subtle throwbacks to previous designs. I went with the Hyperion body mold because it's similar to how he's been drawn lately but resculpted the heck out of it. Changed the chest so that is more anatomically correct, added subtle wrinkles all over the body so it looks like he's wearing clothes instead of body paint. After I gradually built up/sanded down/built up the details, painted/sealed the sockets and reassembled him, I sculpted over all the pin holes in the arms and legs except for the upper bicep holes (they stick out instead of being recessed) so that you can't see 'em but they still turn. I had a backup head to use as a base, but since Tiger Shark was snarling anyway, I figured I would practice head sculpting. I left the nose and eye sockets alone, everything else got work. More pics on my blog--see pic watermark ;)   Please wait... |
