Cobras newest queen B is enlisted, Everglade!!       ____________________________________________ Well, this Boss bitch is ready for paint! WOOP WOOP!!    Here's a half-assed example of the desired look.........  What do ya'll think? Should I leave the open skin, or should I put her in a body suit like I did on Phobos? I'm leaning towards the open skin, but as it is now, she does have just a bit much showing, ya know......? ________________________________________________ Just giving ya'll a peep at the progress I'm making....    _________________________________________________ This character concept is based on an ecosystem in Florida, the Everglades. This is one dangerous place to live! I thought the Mojave Desert was bad......! Anyway, here's the characters design......I still gotta lot to do, but ....shes supposed to resemble a blade of grass....  . I'm getting there....hehehe. Alot of the parts selection ain't finalized yet. Depends on how much sculpting I feel like doing. I feel I don't have the patience for that skill. But any way....  For character background, I was thinking an edged weapons specialist or something along the lines..... ....YES! Another NINJA!  (it's the easy way out....) I'm definitely open to ideas..... Thanks for any comments! |

Looks great so far, what color scheme to you have in mind?
Just cause ya want her to play with knives doesn't mean she's gotta be a ninja. You could find out what specific martial art deals exclusively in knives (there has to be one) or she could be self taught.

Yhea, I really have nothing for the character bio......HA! I don't think it's really gonna matter for this custom.......I just wanna make a fig based on the Everglades!
For color, I'm thinking an orange/green with brown highlighs, and black details.
Thanks for the comments guys!

Very cool, can't wait to see where it goes. And like hawk said, just cause she likes knives, she doesn't have to be a ninja. Could just be a sociopath... :shifty:

Definitely off to a great start here, yo, potential is everywhere with a look like that. Yhea, I really have nothing for the character bio......HA! I don't think it's really gonna matter for this custom.....! oooh the unknown one needs filecard inspiration...  |

oooh the unknown one needs filecard inspiration... OK, OK..........I figured I'd give it a couple days to think it over, and.............Your reverse psychology has failed! The best I can come up with is a 'Point of no Return' type of story.......... The good news though, is that I finally got around to sanding the figure down and now I'm ready to begin sculpting and grafting. The grafting will be fun and easy, but the sculpting will be a test of my (mental) patience!!! It's been a looooong time since an action figure has soared through the air outta frustration.......  ooops.... |

I like the long term prisoner thing, it does ring of hannibal rising, but only in basis, the story in hannibal, I believe(and its been a long time since I read) but they were prisoners after the last war, before the troops knew the war was over. Hell, go all the way, have her viciously attack, or used by her captors, have her carrying a grudge against all men, thats why she carries only edged weapons, so she can "fix" them,  |

Combine the two ideas & Narc's suggestions, I think that'd make for one badass depraved character.

She looks real good man! And I'd definitely leave the skin instead of a bodysuit.

Boy, that's a tough one...
But I think I'd have to go with the skin exposed.
And as far as the bio/s, I'd say interweave them. I think they are both great and show good character developement.

swamps are outdoor furnaces, the exposed skin would be some relief from the humidity at least.
but then the body suit is good for stealth seek n destroy missions.
toss-up.

Yeah man!
THat is awesome!
I think the skin was a better choice over a bodysuit.
The helmet and weapons are great!
Hotness!

You're a sick fuck.... And we're all sicker just for loving such warped customs. LOL Absolutely stunning work here, yo, I'm fucking awed by that creation. You didn't post a final bio though, how'd that turn out?  |

Post by Viper on Feb 18, 2008 0:48:49 GMT -5
That's fucking awesome! And hot!  If she were real of course... (we need a shifty icon) Looks like she'd give the Predator a run for his money. |

done!  she could probably take on Chuck Norris, Ray Park, Zhang Ziyi, and Michael Dudikoff at the same time if she drank one shot of Red Bull and smoke a cigarette... she's terrifying. |

Holy crap, that is sweet. Two things, first, I'm sure if a girl can ever have too much showing,  And two, holy crap. Dig the scuplted hair. |
