    Black Manta Re-deux

    Hi there. I finished up Black Manta a while back, but was never happy with him. He's pretty boring as you'll see in the first pic. I looked at some old cells from the Superfriends cartoon and came up with a more interesting design. I hope you like him. Thanks for looking.

          Super! I like both versions. That's a character I really wanted to add myself sometime.
          It was like that when I got here.

            I really like this upgrade/redo. Nice work.

                  Maybe it was filmation, I saw cartoon network and assumed it was the SF Cartoon.. Here is the pic I used for reference. Head and Tank from Customslab.

                          I think both are just killer----I love that character---and that particular
                          head sculpt is great because it looks on model and is as small as possible
                          without being too small----I appreciate details like that that keep
                          the design "tight".
