Custom Number 9... Conan

[packersfan]

Hello once again! It's been awhile but I've finally finished my 9th custom of 12, everyone's favorite Cimmerian, Conan! Done in my "Hasbro rip-off" style, I decided to add a little more "pop" to his metal parts (belt, armbands etc.) by adding varying degrees of plain old yellow to the metallic colors for the shiny to tarnished effect. I'm surprised it actually worked out like I hoped it would. I wasn't sure what the end result would be Also, the darker skin details (nose, shadows, etc.) are contrasted just right in person. It just won't show up as pronounced in these pics for some reason. As usual, I've blurred my upcoming Muggs on the box back so I don't ruin the suprise lol.... Well, it looks like my shop is closed until Spring now, the weather up here in Ontario is starting to become less conducive to airbrushing in my unheated garage, so I guess it'll be a few months until number ten shows his villainous face... oops! I'm giving away too much already ;P Anyways, I hope you like it and of course, all comments/critiques are welcome.

Yeah, I know that Conan is a Dark Horse Comics property now, but when I was growing up, he was Marvel through and through. I know that's technically cheating, but I don't care ...Crom! count the dead!

He totally looks like the old Conan comic. Another Mugg well done.
