Recipe:

and now... something NOT Iron Man

well... kinda. working on a Maria Hill  custom now :

Head is from Arctic Gear Scarlett with a bit of putty to tweak the hair

body is ROC scarlett with shortened neck. will change the forearms with ROC baroness ones because she has long gloves.

obligatory filler image:

a cricket.

its chirping songs fill this night, devoid of any other event worth mentioning, 

its staccato clicks drowning out every other sound, save for the dogs in the neighborhood. 

but they can't out-sing the cricket, no matter how hard they try. for their cries and howls, as romantic as they sound, lack the rhythm of these little beings, 

i imagine the sound waves, high and low, 

slowing down, then gaining speed once more

but never stopping. 

never missing a beat. 

how i wish there were more of them,

though i imagine after a while 

they would drive me mad.

because, they sing songs that only they 

truly understand,

it is not meant for my ears,

as many things, by 

nature of fate or God,

are not meant for me.

so in a sense they tease me,

they sing for me, but i know not

what they sing about

little cricket love,

little cricket heartbreaks

of epics,

life,  loss, pain, glory, joy

or 

...

well,

it is not for me to say.

they could be speaking of my future for all i care,

life will not unfold her secrets until the time is right

and your heart can take it.

maybe one day i will listen to the crickets,

and at last they might hear my reply.

a list of songs i've listened to these past few days

i feel a pattern here:

Suede- The Beautiful Ones

Smashing Pumpkins- Tonight, Tonight

Semisonic- Closing Time

New Radicals- You Get What You Give

Barenaked Ladies- One Week

The Cardigans- Lovefool

Beastie Boys- Intergalactic

i should have done this years ago.

another new custom from yours truly. this one though seemed like a no-brainer (and a really, really late one at that). you see i always liked the first Marvel Universe Iron Man that was made, despite it's many many nitpicks: a thin profile, slightly mispositioned extremities, and that doofy face.

oh lord the face.

the original sculpt never sat right with me and so i had to fix that. so i did, it was a pretty simple fix though i just needed to resculpt the brow and cheeks, and , once i panel-lined it and put emphasis on the sunken eyes and the mouth line it made a world of a difference. the rest of it though was just minor fixes, filling in lines in the wrist and getting rid of the holes in the thigh armor. a new paintjob later and i was left with this:

thanks for looking. 

Mark VI

a Commission i did for my friend the13tharcana over at 4chan /toy/, he wanted a Mark VI repaint

Thanks for lookin'
