Hela 'va good Figure

After seeing the final sculpt for the last figurine of the THE CLASSIC MARVEL FIGURINE COLLECTION, and how brilliant it looks, I was feeling creative.

Ok, I was too tired to do any commissions so thought this would be easier just to get something creative done before bed. Anyway, this is an alternate costume for Hela. I didn't go all out modifying the costume properly, so its more of just a digital repaint.

Skurge II

THE CLASSIC MARVEL FIGURINE COLLECTION: Skurge early stage

After seeing some fantastic quick renders of the character, most of us on the blog thought it didn't look very dynamic and I thought there didn't feel like enough power in the stance. So I changed it up with him leaning on his axe, and lowered his face to make his glare look more intimidating. I also flared out the shoulder pads more and filled in other details.

Wiccan Edit

After another great update at the Classic Marvel Figurine Collection blog, we were presented with an excellent sculpt of Wiccan.

A few of the bloggers there, myself included, thought he looked alot older than the teen in the comics.

So I broke down the sculpt, tracing it to get the contours, then worked on making the face younger. What makes the sculpt feel old is the large ears, longer than the nose, which is unusual. Also the square, long jaw line is also very mature and macho looking, while Wiccan is often portrayed as young, quite soft, feminine like features.

So narrowing his face and softening his jawline made him look younger, but it didnt look in proportion with his body now. So I looked into what made him look older. Again, he was very muscular, thick legs and arms and long in the torso and pelvis. So I made more changes to make his body look more fragile, like a teenager, yet to pile on the muscle of a filly grown hero.

Overall these are drastic changes that I cannot see happening, but I just wanted to see what I could do to change the sculpt into making it feel more like the character. I still feel the sculpt is really well done, but just wanted the drawing exercise really.

SpiderMan 2099 Edit

Another edit of a figurine from the Classic Marvel Figurine Collection, this time looking at the new Spider-Man 2099 sculpt.

I was disappointed in the sculpt after seeing so many promising and dynamic sketches of the pose, I think the sculptor really missed the mark nailing the pose in 3D. Instead it is rather undynamic and rather awkward looking. I made some quick adjustments to match the sketch more and think it is an improvement. Although it is probably way too late to change, just wanted to show that someone needs to keep a keener eye on the quality and direction from design to sculpt.
