Let’s pretend it’s still Friday for the next ten minutes and I’m not posting this late. Truth be told, I was wiped after working on the apartment yesterday and I never came back to the house to post.

Cye of Torrent was also voiced by Michael Donovan, this time affecting a British accent. Not surprisingly, Sage and Cye were my two favorites..

Here’s Red Rich in the Torrent armor, looking so very stoic. The boots are proving to be the toughest part of these.

Here’s a comparison to the original. The ink work was really sloppy in the original and the dimensions are off but it’s otherwise okay. The new piece obviously fits better. Even the subtle shading I’m doing makes a big difference I think.

That’s all for this week. Another flashback next Friday.

Good morning (or whatever time part it is when you see this). Time for a quick mash-up!

Here we have Red Rich dressed up as Cyan. It’s a fairly bland piece. I just wasn’t feeling it.

That’s all for this week. Have a great week and we’ll see each other next time!

Hello, it’s Friday and I’m not waiting until after work to post the flashback because lord only knows that hasn’t ended well the last few weeks! 🙂

Here’s Red Rich as Nightcrawler with and without the BAMF effect.

Here’s a comparison to the original. The original’s BAMF effect was so much wider for no real reason. Here the effect work is stronger in the remake.

That’s all for this week. More X-Men to follow next Friday!

Hallowe’en – Devil Duo

Happy Hallowe’en friends! We’re closing things out with a something devilish. Hmmm…maybe some deviled eggs for the trick or treaters?

As I was trying to figure out who went with what for this theme, I was coming up short for two costumes. A traditional Hallowe’en monster is a werewolf, but how does that work for characters who are already animals? It just didn’t fit in my mind. That took one of the big pieces out of the puzzle. I hate zombies so there was no way I was doing that. Originally, Skitter was going to be a jack o’lantern, but I switched him to a hunchback lab assistant to round out the Frankenstein trio. The jack o’lantern didn’t feel right with anybody else so that was out. I thought of a scarecrow, but didn’t like that either. So then I thought of a devil for Chae. Great! But what about Red Rich? Maybe the Phantom of the Opera? Maybe, but that just felt like the vampire costume with a mask. I needed something and I just couldn’t figure out what. So I just decided to do a devil couple. The same argument could be made against the devil costume as I had for the Phantom of the Opera in that it feels kinda samey with the vampire costume, but there was nothing else I wanted to do and the Phantom pictures I was looking at weren’t working for me, so I went with the devil duo. And that’s the long of it.

And here they are.

Here’s Chae by herself. If not for the horns you couldn’t really tell she’s supposed to be a devil I think, but it’s a lovely dress.

And here’s Red Rich. It sorta works.

That’s all for the Hallowe’en fun. Next week we’ll get to those X-Men flashbacks I promised. Probably.
