    Black Panther

    Hey guys, this was one of 3 characters I wanted to make today. another one might come tomorrow
    Sadly, i know NOTHING about this character the inspiration to make this guy came from Batman89's custom BP.(Awesome work my man)

    I quickly learned that simple customs are sometimes the most difficult. I knew when making this guy, since it was so simplistic, everything had to be spot on. (and I hope I achieved that )

    heres my recipe:
    my Bats head modified with shorter "ears" and plasti dipped.
    CTVT pouch belt and shoes
    CAT hands
    my suit
    all assembled on my custom body

    Enjoy:




    and it didn't click with me till i uploaded the pictures i didn't have a full body shot, so heres a WIP pic that shows the whole deal.


    Thanks so much for looking, i hope you liked him!
    -Sean

    That is one terrific custom, Sean. Seeing you make heads, suits and now bodies is awesome. I can finally retire now that you're in the groove.

    BTW, Black Panther is a cool, cool character that needs the film treatment. Imagine taking someone with Batman level fighting skills and make him the king of the most technologically advanced country on Earth. I haven't read any Marvel in fifteen years so I don't know what they've done to him, but he was never used to his full potential.
    I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

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

                Great job! This one looks deceptively simple, but I think that is also the challenge of this one. You need to get all the little things just so... and you did.

                      Thanks everyone, i was worried about this guy because of the simplicity, but i think i have the right balance or simpleness and detail.
                      I'm excited everyone is liking him so far
