    Astro City's The Samaritan

    This custom was not really a planned one but worked out pretty well. This was originally going to be a Flash suit but I lacked the head I wanted so it sat around for over a year. Then I got to thinking what character was out there I could make that really hadn't been done before. I found out that Flatt made one some time ago, so I suppose this is the second. SO I got Antohny to make the cardback and I went to work converting this guy to the Samaritan. The cape was not an easy thing to do and I'm not sure I succeeded. I backed it with black for dynamics to make the red pop.















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

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

          nice one, your paints suit Alex Ross characters pretty well.

                Very nice work Mr Axe! Painting by you is always perfection, but this one is a different level of goodness... The total package is so cool.
                If you were a kid and this was on a toy shelf you would want it. The whole thing POPS!!!
                Great work by you and Anthony to make this a real eye catcher!

                    This came out beautifully Scott. Smooth and flawless paint on the head too. But what really grabs me is the cape.

                      It's very cool Scott. Great work all around. The head has a little bit of George Reeves look to me, which is cool.

                        I was thinking the same thing. Beautiful work.
