Finally got this one done. What forearms and hands to use were holding me up and it just got back burnered. But looking at Popeye art, I knew they HAD to be quite large...I wasn't going for realism. Anyway, take a peek. I'm quite happy with the end result.
"Eeeeh... whuddayathink yer doin' comin' down heeeere sukkin' all tha energy from muh planet, ya overgrown parasite?" "... ... ... What?" Excellent work.
Holy crap! That totally works as a realistic interpretation of the cartoon character. Did you make a can of spinach to go with it?
Just happened. I remember seeing something like this a few years back: and thinking that was a pretty realistic adaptation. Your work evokes that same impression. And yours is poseable. Fantastic.
Wow! Thanks everyone! I wasn't expecting much interest in a non-TF custom. Part wise? Base figure was a Tunnel Rat. Used his torso, upper arms and lower legs. A custom cast head by, I think, Stuccos, on a modded in double neck joint. Forearms are a combo of MU Hercules trimmed a bit then gauntlets removed and then some musculature worked in with fists from a 6" DCUC figure. Upper legs are two Shipwreck left legs and feet are off MU AbsorbingMan converted to rocker style. Then just making all the parts work together and some paint. If the head sculpt had had an open mouth, I most certainly would've made a can of spinache with the spinache flying up into the air and back down into his mouth.
NICE!!!!! I just LOVE this!!! Great job on this one; Popeye always was one of my favorites growing up.
