It took a lot of work, including trial and error through several evolutions, to arrive at a version of Storm Shadow I was happy with.

It was important to me that the character retain the basic look of his first incarnation, but I wanted to incorporate some more recently added design elements (such as the Arashikage tatoo) as well.

The accessories were chosen carefully to mirror his original rig, including the custom scabbard/quiver backpack, although I opted for a climbing claw reminiscent of version 2 instead of version 1's nunchuks.

Sculpting the right head from a GvC Grunt base was the finishing touch, because my dio will eventually call for Stormy to go unmasked.
