    Starman - Legion of Superheroes

    Or you can call him Starboy, not sure which fits better. For those not familiar with him, which I'm betting is most, he controls gravity and density of objects. His suit is supposed to be a starry sky pattern with planets and galaxies and other astronomical stuff. I attempted to recreate that with debatable results. I put him in my Lightning Lad packaging to get an idea what he'll look like carded.














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

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

    I think you pulled-off the effect on the suit just fine. I honestly couldn't remember what it was supposed to be, but I guessed right based on how you did it.

    I'm anxious to see the gang together, your style really lends itself to supergroups IMO.

          I was wondering what the bearded head was going to be used. Cool figure, you captured the starfield look perfectly.

            I think he came out fantastic. If you really want to nail the effect, lay out a peice of suit fabric and take a pic of it. Then, use the image for the backer art on the card.

              Great idea.

              The outfit looks perfect. The packaging is really nice too.
              If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                      Continue to be wowed by the head painting. He looks terrific.

                          Scott, you are on roll. Can't wait to see a shot of your entire Legion once you get finished.

                            Great paints. Man, that beard looks real.

                              Very nice! I don't think I'm ever going to get to my LSH figures. It's nice to see guys like you and Brian Leitner who have tackled them.
                              I love how you paint faces. You give them an almost real life look instead of the comic book colors.
