Just a quick slap-up of MTF parts with some putty for the cyber-ear and hindarm sleeve filler, with a SW blaster and the freebie bayonet they gave me:

Cool character! The art is long and spindly like that fortnite suited guy. Yours is much more realistic though and I like that

I have no idea who this character is but those illustrations are amazing. Your figure is a great edition of him. Excellent work

Truth be told, I don't know a lot about him either. He first appears in Moebius' The Incal series; then is given a family history in The Metabarons books; all from Humanoids press. They're all French so the translation has that added 'alien' effect to the stories but they're worth the reading for the art alone. I need to read The Metabarons stuff to get the full info-dump.

I read that as Meat Baron and was kinda disappointed at the lack of meat. However, after peepin the artwork, youve done a good job capturing him.

This is a character I never expected to see in figure form, and it's a very pleasant surprise. I loved both The Incal and Metabarons (although, damn, Metabarons has some parts that aren't a lot of fun to read; what else would I expect from Jodorowsky, though?), and I love that you made this. Any chance of a Steelhead figure down the road? His section of Metabarons was the one that really stuck with me, for better and for worse.

I worked with a dude in the butcher shop that looked an awfully lot like that guy. Now I gotta wonder if he worshiped a giant meat mannequin. :rotfl:
