(I usually don't beg for people to look at my threads, but this custom was a ton of work...more than any other custom I've made)
No backstory this time, since this is just a redo of an existing character in my custom-verse.
The first custom I made for my Reign of the Serpent project was, of course, Serpentor. It just made sense, seeing as how he is the focal point of the project. And I liked the Serpentor I had made. For where my skills were at that time, it was a good custom. You can see the picture in the first post here.
However, as the project progressed, I realized that I was evolving beyond the level where I was when I started, and also that, due to now using 25th style and SHS figures in my customs, Serpy was looking a bit puny. I made my black-costume 'regal' Serpentor, but I wanted a battle-armored one to use as the primary version of the figure.
So, here he is. Probably the most difficult custom I've made. I used the SHS Thor as a base to make sure he towered over his troops. I wanted his armor to be super pimped-out, thus the snake design (which was a [LASER BLAST] to sculpt) and the horn-crown on the helmet. Finally, I wanted to give him a bit of an older look, as my custom-verse takes place about the time period of the DD run.
Battle Armored Serpentor:
Head: SW Baron Fel
Body: SHS Thor (HEAVILY modified)
Cape: SW General Grievous
Helmet: 25th Serpentor (modified)
Sword: Magna-Warriors sword modified with milliput, face from POTC figure belt and wings from Thor.
w/o helmet:
And just for fun, here's a shot of (almost) all of the Serpentor customs I've made. They go earliest to newest, left to right (....the first one is actually the second Serpentor custom I made...the first one was torn apart long ago)
