Custom Darkseid

[Cosmicman]

There we go Pastor Scott!
I know a lot of people on here shun fabric paint and think I am turd because I use it a lot when I design custom costumes.
Frankly, I don't have the money or time to buy predesigned silk screen outfits from some of my friends on here. I am also a artist and have more fun make them.

But.....go to your local hobby store. Pick up some mild gray fabric paint (Scribbles might be one of the brands) slightly dab it on the fabric (don't dowse it) and it will take the glitter off the fabric and add a texture and match the face.

I usually work with dye's rather than fabric paint. So I've darkened the suit using a quick dark dye job instead. I like the glitter effect it seems to give him a little more density. But now I think he's done. I don't want to overthink him too much or I'll end up destroying him

There you go! You must have changed the picture. That looks pretty cool.

If you dye suits. A little darkening on the blue wouldn't hurt.

this is the first Darky i've seen megosized, i did it time ago but on a toybiz 9' body...good idea...and pretty cool...the only thing...he sound a bit too slim, but your solution sound really megolike, compliments!

I was planning on making him bigger originally but after a lot of thought I decided that all Mego's are essentially 8" tall no matter who the character is. Penguin and Mxyzptlk are supposed to be much smaller but they are just as tall as everyone else. Superman and Captain Marvel should be considerably taller than a lot of the other characters also. I had also thought about perhaps using a Hulk or Thing body but decided against it because it would be too difficult to swap out the hands and legs to allow for boots and gloves. Plus they always seemed too small in comparison to the others.

So using that logic I kept Darkseid at the standard 8" Mego height just for conformity purposes.

i really understand your thought , in fact the result is very megoish, so compliments again
