The Blue Devil



You've probably figured out from the picture that this isn't a custom of the DC Comics Blue Devil. This Blue Devil was created by my customer, Matt Spaulding back when he was in the 6th grade. Matt's Blue Devil could best be described as a mix of Green Hornet and Batman.

For a long winded write up about how I made him, please truck on over to ActionFigurePics.com

  • DCUC The Question - Hat
  • DCUC Green Lantern - Head
  • DCSH Regen Suit Superman - Cape

World War Hulk v2.0

Photobucket

Hulk Smash!!!

Mainly just a repaint for my friend and fellow Fwoosher; studmuffin of the HML Hulk Legends King Hulk with some HML 1 Planet Hulk accessories added in. The studly one liked my first King Hulk repaint and asked if I'd do one for him. It gave me a chance to try some paint techniques and tricks I've been learning plus I wanted to try to get the Green Scar close to comic accurate as I felt my 1st attempt was a little too dark.

All his green was painted with a Reaper Warm Green Triad set. I covered him up with Pine Green first, then followed up with a drybrush of Leaf Green and then a drybrush of Pale Green. This Hulk has a ton of detail in his sculpt and the drybrushing really makes it pop. I'm totally sold on Reaper paints now and will be adding more as my current paints get used up.

I'm extremely happy with how the Planet Hulk accessories turned out. I airbrushed them with Tamiya Dark Bronze but I went a little too heavy and they were a little too bright and shiny for armor that looks like it's been used in hundreds of gladiatorial battles. I thinned out some Citadel Dark Brown into a wash and applied it pretty heavy then I went back and sloppily drybrushed with the Tamiya Dark Bronze again.
