Hello and good Friday everybody! It’s time for a flashback! Let’s have some fun!

It’s the piece that started the original set and it’s here to close out the remakes. Here’s Spacefur Rich rocketing into action. The flames of her rocket pack turned out so good here. I can only hope I can reproduce the effect when need be. It’s my favorite piece of the set.

Here’s the comparison to the original piece. I wouldn’t have been able to remove the space backdrop of the original without doing a LOT of editing, so I decided to put the new piece on a similar backdrop. What can I say? Looking back at the original piece I see where I was at at the time. I now know there are some facial angles that just don’t look good.

That’s all for this week. Next week we start to look at the two new pieces of the set for Chae and Skitter.

Flashback Friday – Guile

Hey it’s Friday! Another week has come and is about to go! That’s always good news. And what better way to celebrate than to post a flashback? I can’t think of one, can you?

Guile is one of two American fighters from Street Fighter II (the other being Ken). His military fatigues suggest that he’s in the armed forces. For some reason, he was probably my least favorite character in Street Fighter II (well maybe after Blanka). His trademark is his spiked hair.

Here’s Red Rich, or rather Green Rich, stepping in as Guile. I don’t have a whole lot to say about this piece. It’s solid.

Here’s a comparison to the original. The frontal pose of the original showed the costume more, but I like the dimensions better on the second. And just now, as I’m posting this, I realize that I forgot to include the American flag tattoo on his right arm in the new piece. The old piece’s hair makes me wonder where his ears are. I corrected that in the new one as I can believe his ears are actually somewhere in all that hair.

That’s it for this week. Have a good weekend everybody and see you all again next week for more fun stuff!

 

Flashback Friday – Hoban “Wash” Washburne

Howdy! Time for a flashback. It is Friday after all. Click on a picture to embiggen it!

Wash is Serenity’s pilot. He has a great solo moment in his very first scene where he’s playing with his toy dinosaurs. He’s quirky and has a fun sense of humour. Of course he was one of my favorite characters.

Red Rich returns to the role that made him about as famous as he already is. Really happy with this.

Here’s the comparison to the original. I had this tendency to make Rich’s and Todrick’s ears really small. I liked the dinosaurs from the original so I didn’t have to really update them much. You don’t get to see as much of them though since Rich is actually holding them now.

That’s all for this week. Have a great weekend!
