I'm just not digging Crystal Ball...he looks too healthy.
The dude is a Gypsy...he should be dirty, and creepy, and prolly not look like he's in the best shape. I think the head makes him look too young...Like he's a teen movie version of Crystal Ball and the grey in his hair is obviously faked...not earned.
The Torso Is a solid choice, but I think he needs a bit more puch...The twins are acrobatic contorsionists...Crystal Ball may be able to make you think he's one...but there's no way he's gonna fit himself in a Prius...let alone a shoebox.
The arms are a fair choice...but he needs upper sleves...I just think the sleeveless Shirt look is totaly out of character...Buzzer's armored shoulder might have been an option. or the Storm Shadow sleeves.
Legs look like they're a pretty fair choice.
I find Drawing the design out in pencil before I paint over it really helps me to get a nice looking design. Another option if you're gonna go with the thread idea is to draw it out with a pencil...then score with an exacto blade...that way the thread will have a little place to sit and won't slide all over the place.
I knew I could count on you to help me out with this.
Very helpful critiques with suggestions to better the custom.
As for the upper arms, BadAsh told me to wait for the new Zartan and use his upper arms for the armor. So those will be replaced. As for the head, not sure what to replace it with but BA also suggested a Darth Maul head for the sneer.
This guy will definately be revisited and all of your suggestions used.
Thanks a million for an honest and VERY helpful critique Nova.
