GOLDIE MASTERS - ORIGINAL CHARACTER CUSTOM TOY [GIJOE MARVEL LEGENDS SCALE] BY DSNG!
Here's another new custom, one of my Original Characters named Goldie Masters! She's from the DSNG Sci Fi Series and she's an actress, a stuntwoman and Special Forces operative!
The base body was Marvel Legends Mocking Bird, and the heavily modified shield on her back came from the movie version of TaskMaster. Her body armor and boots were sculpted, as was her afro hairstyle and her blue visor. Her guns came from ebay and her arm-cannon was sculpted, before it was positioned via a magnet on her left forearm. Her laser cannon with the crossbow came from GIJoe Classified Scarlet and it was heavily modified as well.
She was hand-painted with Tamiya Paints and I took some pictures of her with the guy named Gundart, one of my other Original Characters that was posted over HERE.
Thanks for looking, Enjoy and Share!

GUNDART - ORIGINAL CHARACTER CUSTOM TOY [GIJOE MARVEL LEGENDS SCALE] BY DSNG!
Another new custom, an original character named Gundart!
The base body was Marvel Legends Winter Soldier, from the Black Widow movie wave. And I gave him a customized head, with a sculpted head-cannon attached via a magnet. His armor was sculpted on top of the original toy, after it was spray-painted blue. And the rest of the toy was hand-painted after the sculpting with putty was done. He has a special blaster-sword positioned upon his back, held by a magnet, along with a removable arm cannon on his right arm. I also gave him Thor's hammer, as an extra weapon.
The last three images show what his helmet looks like without the head-cannon.
There's another original character toy that I made earlier this year, called GlocMaster. You can find his gallery over HERE.
Thanks for looking! Enjoy and share!

SCI FI FUTURISTIC CONCEPT ARMOR AND MECHA DESIGNS - PART 7
Over the past decade, I've posted blog articles that feature sci fi costumes, armor and designs, by various artists from across the Web. Figured I'd do it again today, to inspire fellow creators and artists, who are trying to conceive diverse designs. Sci Fi / Fantasy Armor is like a visual signature added to a franchise; hence you can never mistake a DragonBallZ character for a Warframe game design or a DC Comics creation, because they're all visually different. Also over the past 5 years, I've noticed the emergence of a more urbanized design philosophy, coming into video games like Apex Legends, Valorant and Fortnite, to create a hip-hop / cyberpunk feel. So I've added a few of those designs too.
One of the artworks that stands out to me is the redesign of Little Red Riding Hood... you'll know her when you see her. One pic shows Little Red, while the other pic is her nemesis wielding a chainsaw. Those artworks were done by a guy in China named Deadman, and he's at Artstation.com
And since this article is tagged as Part 7, I will add links to some of the other Parts at the bottom of this blog article.BTW, If you right-click and save the images, you should see the name of the creator for the 2D or 3D artwork, at the end of the long description. And if I couldn't find the name of the creator, then the franchise name [like Warframe, Overwatch, or League of Legends] will be presented instead, along with other tags. Enjoy and Share!

COMMANDER REX, FIREHAWK SOLDIER CUSTOM TOY [MARVEL LEGENDS SCALE] BY DSNG!
Another new Firehawk soldier from the DSNG Sci Fi Series. This guy is named Commander Rex.
The base body was the new Taskmaster from Marvel Legends, linked to the Black Widow movie version.

After being spray-painted black, he was hand-painted with Tamiya and American paints. There are a few magnets added to his body, to hold his shield and other weapons in place. And he also has a sword [from Taskmaster], held at his belt, on the right side of his body. The first female Firehawk soldier that I made, Commander Monica, was posted over HERE in my gallery.
