    Guardians of the Galaxy- Yondu!

    Hey guys,
    This guy was so much fun to piece together. I like this character simply for his looks. SO, with that said, ill probably travel out of the "classic superhero" realm and do more unique character like this fellow here. I have a feeling ill start a slight GOTG addiction here soon, so be prepared

    Lets get started:
    once i discovered this character, i knew exactly what head i wanted to use (RA Black Adam). Since i had already been working with the RA BA for Namor, i simply repurposed that head. I started by shaving all his hair off, making him more "elf" like by tweaking the ears and jaw structure, and then i cut a big ole hole in his head you'll see why.

    I knew instantly how i wanted to do this head and i accomplished it by mere luck. I placed a piece of craft foam inside the cut i made on the head, i traced his head curve, and cut out the design i desired. Here's how it all started:






    after i had the fin done, it was all downhill from there.

    heres my recipe:

    -My head with craft foam fin
    -My Body
    -the base outfit was a CAT jumpsuit
    -I made the red sleeve
    -RA Shazam gauntlets
    -can't forget a craft foam belt, wrapped in gold material and used sewing pin as accents
    -CAT Hands
    -My booties
    -a bow made from some heavy gauge wire bent to shape and then painted

    Here's Yondu:










    Thanks for looking and Happy new year!
    -Sean

    I read your PM this morning befroe leaving for work and I come home and you've completed the custom you were only talking about. You can crank some stuff out. It looks fantastic too. He's one of the more dynamic looking Guardians characters. You should google Vance Astro for my favorite character of that universe. I can't ever remember seeing one of those before. Maybe that's your next challenge...

    Oh yeah, I'm referring to the older version, not the New Warriors crapola.

    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

    If anyone here believes in psychokinesis, please raise my hand.

      I know, the head just had me so inspired. I'm already looking at other Guardians to make.

      Austin made 3 of them not too long ago.

        nice one, the belt and arm thing really set it off. Perfect.

              Ive been thinking bout that . Soon enough he'll have his own buddies here to play with. Charlie and Starhawk are probably next.
