Post subject: | The Dark Streets of Gotham |
I haven't completed the bios or fit the characters into my universe yet, but I wanted to go ahead and post the pictures. I will post the bios and backgrounds one I've got everything pieced together. I also need to reset up my photobooth, the flash really over washed Nightwing's eyes and Hush's bandages. Harley Quinn I wanted a more Dark Knight styled Harley while keeping the main aspects of her costume. Hush Hush's costume has changed with every appearance, so I took a little from each appearance. The sweater top is actually from the Harvey Dent "Hush" in the original arc. The bandages with hair and more face showing is from the end of "Heart of Hush". I had a hard time deciding between the costumed Hush and the Darkman styled outfit from "War Games" and "Hush returns", so I may make a second figure, similar to my original Hush figure Nightwing This Nightwing was never Robin. The idea of a very young Robin never made much sense to me, even with Robin being such an important piece of the mythology. This Nightwing eventually became a cop who turned vigilante to clean up the corruption in the town he couldn't stop during the day. He does eventually train with Bruce Wayne, who gives him a new updated armor. Two-Face I almost went with Two-Face being completely scarred on his left side, but decided to stick with just the face for now. I wanted a different look for him, everyone always showing him in the half black, half white suit. In "Robin: Year One", Harvey wears several different outfit, a different color set each time. In the scene when he beats Robin with a bat, Dent had his sleeves rolled up with suspenders. After I started, I decided to use the shoulder holsters since it hindered the articulation less. The red half of the shirt was because I thought it would better accent the scarred half of his face. |

Interesting take on these guys. I like Harley's paint apps. They look really good. I think I'm too used to the head cover (whatever her hood thing is called) Harley. I get the feeling she's fit right in to Christian Bale' version of Batman though. If you can find an over-sized revolver with a boxing glove and a couple of hyenas, it would make this one really pop. Hush. I really like the simple, but defined design. Looks like he stepped right off the page. No critique needed. There was a Nightwing story a few months ago (before his book was cancelled) where he ascended to the upper atmosphere in a balloon and then plummeted to Earth, before pulling the cord. I can't see this version as his every day uniform, but it's definitely are heavy assault version. I'm not feeling Two-Face here. It's not the parts or the paint apps, but he just looks too much like Harley. I think I'm used to seeing the half suits that this checkerboard look seems off. I think if the black was on one side and the red shirt/white paints was on the other side it would work. |

neato! I like harley...been wanting to do something similar (conceptually). I was grabbing inspiration from the recent Joker (Azzarello one shot) book, and the recent Arkham Asylum game. Pretty much a light S/M look minus the harlequin mask with a hint of "office girl" stripper sensibilities. I kinda feel like she'd look better in heels. Hush is the best of the bunch, no qualms. Nightwing is a bit lackluster....I think its got to do with the head and the pants. TwoFace is good, but I don't care for the colors. It's the red specifically. I would have just made it white. Either that or drop the black/white look altogether and gone with a different pair of contrasting colors. Or drop the contrasting colors altogether.... all in all a good set of customs there. |

Yeah these are all sweet ass customs. Nightwing's look really strikes me, as that is a torso I'd have not considered for him, but I think it's awesome. Kind of brings the character up to TDK type of gear. I also dig the mods and how much work you put into Two-Face. They are all good, but those 2 jumped out at me. |

These are all excellently done customs.....However that Two Face is over the top fantastic. I have never seen a version of Two Face that I liked or would buy....until now. Great job on all and especially the Two Face. |

Great job on these. I was thinking of trying the Year one Robin recipe for a Two Face as well.Glad to see that it works so well. The rest look great as well. The armored Nightwing looks awesome. Is the head from Tri Gate? That is also a great alternate look to Harley and I really like the scarred Hush. Keep up the good work. |

the nightwing is the best of the bunch, not really digging the pants but it still works. Harley is the next best, great job on her paint apps. Didn't follow hush at all but looks ok and two face looks to odd but you did paint him well |

I think this is the coolest Batman stuff I've seen. Dent is my fave of the lot. |

The scuplting here great. I've never really noticed how good your sculpting is. The bandages and the Two-Face face really show it off. |

I don't know Hush but he would also make a killer Dark Man. I really enjoy all of these and the only unspoken critique I have is Harley's hair color. The brown seems a little flat. But man I really like these. |

I think the flash really washed out Harley's hair, in person it's a two toned dirty blonde. Once I get my photo booth set up again i hope I can get better pics. |

Hush and Dent are perfect. Nothing to comment on other than how perfect they are. Harley Quinn is ok, but the streaks in her hair are throwing me off. If you'd gone all black on the hair with a few red highlights I could have accepted it easily, but the blonde hair with the bright red and black just doesn't look natural...I mean like possible. I don't like the thighs on Nightwing. I think they stick out too much for what is an otherwise perfect custom. |

I'm really like your take on these characters. I agree that they have a very BTDK feel to them, which in my books is full of win. Bring on some more! |
