Marvel Universe 3.75" metallic 90s Wolverine

Sentinel Prime · 03-19-2010, 05:43 AM

Back in the 80s and 90s, it could be difficult to tell if a costume was supposed to be reflective, or if it was just the inking and coloring from the time!

I thought I would take the Jim Lee look from that great X Men 90s run with Claremont, and make a Logan with a metallic, reflective look.

This figure started as XMO Tiger Stripe Wolverine, with the head from the brown suit version, which is a huge improvement. I separated his claws with a knife, then painted the costume silver. Using clear yellow, blue and red, I finished up the costume. Then his skin was painted using flat flesh, with elf flesh highlights.

Overall, a fun project. Any comments, criticism, love and hate are encouraged.

Thanks for your time!

Wow, not too needed for a collection or anything, but that just looks really sweet. It's a testament to your painting abilities, really.
