    Mego Black Panther and Moon Knight



    There have been so many great customs put up this week, I almost didn't want to post these, but I like how they came out.
    I started them both a while back and was able to finish 'em up recently. Since they both were completed at the same time, I am showing them together. I am pretty happy with them. I'd like to make a better belt for BP some time, and maybe a body upgrade in the future. Thank you for looking. I hope you likey.

      That is so awesome that words can't describe it. Two characters that I love and for some reason don't have in my customs yet. LOL

        Both are outstanding. I like the MK quite a bit more than BP, but that may be due to lighting. A Panther custom rarely photographs well, so some cool details you might have on there go unnoticed. I love the head paint for Moon KNight with teh grey face. Too often he's depicted as everything white or everything silver. A character like him, despite his comic look, needs to have some other color to break things up a bit. He looks like the newer David Finch version.

        If you made one of those for next year's Meet auction, I'd be all over it.(hint) Excellent work.

            Bravo on both. I really like the detail work, and the all white-ness of MK. That's a hard thing to pull off without loosing the finer points of the costume. .

                    wow!

                    A great pair of customs! Black Panther was always a favorite of mine and you really did him proud. Nice job.

                      Ebony and Ivory...where have I heard that before?

                      If they didn't team up, they should have. Because you've proven they look great together. Fantastic work - very clean and well executed.

                          Ditto! I've seen a lot of both these characters that lacked the little touches to make them pop. I especially like BP.

                              Thanks Everyone, I appreciate the nice comments.
                              Scott, I agree, BP is hard to photo well. Panthers are elusive. I admit I didn't mess with the lighting much. I left his eyes totally black, after debating adding yellow or white pupils, but I find the solid stare more effective sometimes. Will keep MK on the MM09 idea list, I already have some upgrades in mind if I do him again. I have seen some cool Moon Knights out there and I tried to at least keep up with the standard.
