From 2002, this is Dart.

One of my favorite New Sculpt characters, Dart had a great figure. Not much to adjust for the artwork design. I even stuck close to the out-of-date WWII style helmet. Hiding the eyes under the helmet edge wasn't intentional, but I erased some of the shadow just below them to tease the fact that they're obscured.

There were several recolors of Dart, and I've been doing recolors of my drawings to match or at least carry over the different color schemes. But the later versions of Dart didn't really bring anything to the table, so I'm just sticking with the original version.

probably my 2nd favorite newsculpt figure. only seeing him as an adult my first impression was native American MR. T. if they could of come up with a head like that of the guy from predator on this figure it would of been gold. I was bummed when I finally got my hands on one that the helmet didn't come off!

you did justice plus some to the design. better dimensions and just the right amount of pomp/decoration. I see the feather as a nod not only to his native ancestry ,but also to the sniper lore of carlos hathcock . sticking a white feather in your hat in jungle camo is pretty bad ass! if you do a recolor how about desert ops or nightforce black?

Thanks.

This might be my personal favorite piece of art.

As for the re-colors, here you go...

the darker tones of the nightforce version really stand out. the desert is not bad though. I really like the faint green still on his jacket in both.

Thanks, guys.

As much as I like getting feedback for my artwork, it makes me equally happy to hear people embrace NS era characters.
