ZANTU
He walked the Earth in ancient Pantagonia, a giant among giants his name Zantu Dragon King and ambassador and protector to the humanoid species of that time, having fought countless battles, he was great and in the eyes of God the most brave. Legend has it he came to Earth along with God and his angels seeking a new home but it was not easy...for Earth belonged to the Dragon X, exclusively to the Red Dragon Lord. In a fierce battle that took out most of God's fiercest giant warriors, Zantu The Dragon King beheaded the winged beast and set foot in their new acquired land. His garment was made from the hide and head of the fallen Dragon, he is impeccable in both bravery and in stregth.

Shitzoid this was a lot of work, my most ambitious work yet. First I took and painted the whole Barbarian Hulk I got from China for 10 bucks, a blueish green skin tone and waited for it to dry. I took apart the loin cloth and made a smaller one and a cape, then I sculpted the helmet and the armor. Sculpted a sort of hood too made to represent a cobra. Then I gave him a Zeus beard from the Spawn franchise. Then I gave the armor a russet red Mr.Color paint application along with random dry brush Mr.Color Gold and paint globs. I added some Mr.Color Silver Shine to the skin tone to bring some luster out. I gave him a Spawn Angela weapon from which I cut the top of for the center of the helmet. The head broke off once but I brought it back, with the help of super glue, oh I also gave it some Medieval Spawn armor for the forearms. I tried to give it a cool ArtFX Batman cape from a broken Batman, but that fell through, literally..(how I broke the head). I am impressed by the helmet and how the colors mesmerize and shine with luster. The color of the beard is cool too. My back hurts...LOL

Thanks...I really enjoyed making it. Customizing figures is a really good way to destress. Also it is a cool way to develop creativity! More people should do it.
