This came up quickly...I just literally had the idea days ago and ordered the blank and chrome pen the came day...they arrived today and she is done.

Circuit Breaker is if you are unaware, is a character from the Marvel Transformers comic book, but it seemed like such a great and simple idea...that I had to do it.

Dayum, that looks great. I saw the subject line and got super-excited. Was not disappointed when I opened the link.

What kind of chrome pen did you use?

I remember her. Man. Now I want a chrome pen. I think you did her justice. Can you take additional shots with more lighting? Wanna see that silver shine.

Funny thing is that she debuted, as Circuit Breaker, in an issue of Secret Wars II so Marvel would have the copyright on her.

Marvel UK did the same thing with Death's Head. He was created to be an adversary of the Transformers and Doctor Who, but debuted in a regular Marvel UK title first so they would retain control over him.

Its one of those things that came together quickly...a cosplayer was asking what she should do next, and since she is...uhm...in great shape, I made the suggestion of Circuit Breaker.

And it hit me all at once...this should be a fairly easy custom. People here directed me to HACKS for the blank, and I already knew about the chrome pen...the rest was a stead slow hand, and comparing pics.

Now her layout of the circuits aren't 100% accurate...BUT I tried by best to make it look similar.
