Here are some low quality teaser pics for my re-worked custom modern Thor. To make a long story short, I bought the original comic Thor EX, it arrived damaged, UPS denied the insurance claim, and I was stuck with the damaged goods. I discovered a semi-local artist that had done a few of these Thor's before, and decided to make lemonade out of my lemon.
After the first go around, I decided to have the guy add some detailing to the helmet (re-worked the nose piece and added the 'V' line detail) and wrist guards (made them larger, gave them a smooth finish, and painted to match the shirt), and also do a re-work of the armor scales (the lines delineating the scales are thinner now, and the scales are a more consistent size/shape throughout).
I think it turned out pretty nicely. There are a few areas that I want to touch-up, and may attempt to do that on my own (some paint areas and some of the scales). I'm not 100% sure I will work up the courage to do it.
At any rate, he looks pretty good as-is, and I definitely think it looks better than it did before. I will post some higher quality pics later, with some before and after comparisons.
