My Spider-Man customs continue, with Red Skull? Yes, I know that he is a Captain America villain, not a Spider-Man villain, but he is still very much an enemy of Spider-Man, you know, with being responsible for the deaths of Peter Parker's parents and all, and he's also appeared in most Spidey cartoons. There are a lot of Red Skulls being submitted here, and I didn't think I'd make one, since I already had the FO version, but he just looked like a little weird henchman in that armor, not like an important Big Bad, so I decided that in order for Red Skull to earn a spot on my Spider-Man shelf, he had to be customized. I used Longshot as a base. Had to dremel away a lot of his chest and shorten his neck before sculpting on the suit. I again used fabric for the lower part of the jacket, and I'm not too pleased with that. I think I'm going to start using thin sheets of FIXIT Sculpt for that sort of thing in the future, you'll see on some upcoming customs I'm working on. Oh yeah, the hands are from Prof X. I hollowed out Longshot's sleeves and glued them there, so they're still as articulated as they should be. Another important thing I did was to fix the jaw, shutting his mouth. I didn't want him to look dumb, standing with his mouth open! I'm actually surprised that more people haven't done this with theirs. I'm really happy with the head, especially the eyes, how they stare at you. The body could have been better in many ways, but that's what happens when you use Longshot to make a suit and I'm still satisfied with the result! ![]() |

Works for Penguin - the tuxedo/ tails look is termed a "penguin suit" (I just was never kosher with the tophat)
But I agree that some Marvel villians especially kingpin and various ganglords need business suits
My favorite Red skull suit is his nutty Nazi one - nuff said

Quoted from Wikipedia:
"Red Skull is the name of three Marvel Comics super villains who are enemies of Captain America, other superheroes, and the United States in general. The first two Red Skulls are Nazi agents and the third is a Communist. The Red Skull was first introduced in Captain America Comics #1 in 1941. The first Red Skull was an American industrialist turned Nazi saboteur, while the second is the arch nemesis of Captain America. The third Red Skull is best known for causing the deaths of the parents of Peter Parker, and thus orphaning Spider-Man."
But hehehe I think I was the first in the realm to bring the mouth shut FO Red Skull.
props props !

Anyways, I appriciate the comments and critiques as always!
And for me, Lex Luthor should be in the purple costume with the green soup cans strapped to his chest, a la Superfriends! :-)
My only critique here is that Red's neck should also be red. It looks too much like a halloween mask with the neck all flesh colored like that.
Can't wait to see your new jacket technique too! Though I like the one you used here just fine.
