It's amazing how versatile that head is - I used it on my Tarantula a couple of weeks back.
Great first custom of 08 (now that we are 4 months into it). Surely we won't have to wait another 4 months for the next one??Comment

Here is another pic without the cape. I can't decide whether to use the cape or not.

Get rid of the cape. That was some Super Powers/era gimmick. I rarely see him wearing that. Looks good without it!
Take his skin tone a shade darker. Maybe use fabric paint on the arms and legs to get it to match when you change the face tone and he would look intensely wild! (not saying it don't look great!)

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.More custom Mego madness on Facebook right here...

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 himComment

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.Comment
