Dreadnaught of the Dreadnoks - Zanzibar

I took some liberties in his design gave him a maori octopus and being a pirate I gave him tons of stuff to hold

_________________

I love the parts. they evoke the original character very well and do not infringe on the visual elements of the characters the parts come from. The head conversion is flawless, as is the application of the tattoo.

One critique and one gripe.
Critique: You have three distinct skin tones on the figure. Maybe four. It's less noticeable from the front, with the tattoo commanding so much attention, but the different between the arms and torso is pretty obvious from the back.
Gripe: I believe you went with the clashing and asymmetrical colours to represent a pirate scavenging materials and emphasizing practical over aesthetic, but how I wish he were a bit less busy. Just paint over the blue underside of the shoulder pads and repaint the neon red belt sash a neutral colour or to match the boots. A figure that amazing should not be that hard to look at.

i just didn't think todo the underside the sash i think will go maroon to flow with the arm wraps and black for the sides
