    Robin the Teen Wonder

    This is a major step for me, but for most of you guys it's old stuff. This is my first commission piece. The client actually came to my place of employment and asked me to make this. She'd seen pics of my work when I was buying fabric and wanted a custom for her boyfriend for X-Mas.

    When she told me which character, I was apprehensive but excited. How can I make Robin exciting and fresh? I decided on an older Dick Grayson and Garcia Lopez artwork for the box. I just did my thing without any pressure on myself and it turned out decent. I could have done the cape collar better, but my current skills didn't allow me to do what I wanted. It still looks okay.

    The box by Anthony just makes the whole package perfect. He can make the crappiest figure look sleek and professional, at least in my case anyway. Big thanks, Toyroom.

      Probably one of if not the best looking Robin I have seen done to date.
      Great job!!

        I love it!! I would cut the bottom red sash (under the utility belt) into a curvy design so it don't look like a dress and I think you got it!!
        Kudos!!!

              Dude, that came out really nice. Seriously. Love those shoes, as well. I dig your choice for a head. Your client should be pleased.

                Now that looks fantastic. Good choice for a head, sweet looking costume, awesome shoes and fantastic box.
