Solid work. While it looks fine as-is, considering the basic design of his outfit, I think the figure would have benefited from a wash and/or dry brushing to accentuate the details in the musculature/fabric and the chest/back stars would contrast better with the costume if they were outlined in black or, alternatively, if the color of the stars themselves were a different hue. If you take a look at the other Red Guardian submission, the stars on that one stand out a lot better (although, granted, I'm not knowledgable enough about the character to know exactly when they switched the stars on the costume from red to white, so, maybe that wouldn't be accurate for a Silver Age rendition).

Thanks! I'm probably in the minority, but I'm not a fan of paint washes or excessive drybrushing, especially on older comic characters. I think a character wearing a bright colored spandex costume should look clean, and I've always thought paint washes just make a figure look dirty. As for the color of the star, there have been several different Red Guardians over the years, and the costume has changed a little each time. This particlar version, Alexi Shostakov, appeared in Avengers 43 & 44, and had the red star. As far as I know, the version of this costume with a white star was the one from the 90's, Josef Petkus. Anyway, I appreciate the feedback and suggestions.

It's true that paint washes and dry brushing are technically "lies"--upon close inspection they look exactly like what they are--paint. Real world clothing generally is just one color, the shadows we see are created by light.

Solid and consistant work from you..very cool bro
