2010 - The original 'preview' pictures (that was a looong preview period! )
2011 - Revised body proportions, new gloves, new pants
2012 - Repaint
2013 - Weathering, finish off weapons

This is my version of The Punisher as he appeared in the great PUNISHER MAX comic series when drawn by Croatian artist Goran Parlov. I was inspired by Parlov's highly detailed "cartoony yet serious" style.

Thanks for looking.

Great job on the Punisher. Is that the Marvel Legends body?

Thanks! It's a custom body combining Marvel Icons Spiderman, DC Direct arms, and DID legs.

Geese Howard is one of the most iconic "boss" characters in 2D fighting game history. He died in his very first game, 1991's Fatal Fury, yet has been brought back in over a dozen games over the last 20+ years! Geese is just that popular.

Head - Medicom GIGN - sculpted over brow, mouth, and cheek to give smug expression
Body - DCD 13", resculpted neck and traps
Clothes - Handmade
Hands - DC + misc recasts

Re: Joewolf's figures - Geese Howard 2D Fighting BOSS/ICON (King Of Fighters, Fatal F

Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock as DSS Agent Hobbs in the 2011 film, Fast Five. The Rock was the best thing about the movie and helped revitalize the entire The Fast andThe Furious franchise.

I used Hot Toys' 1/6th G.I. Joe Retaliation Roadblock figure as a base. Unfortunately, Hot Toys gave that body a skinny build to better fit the body armor and clothing. So, I had to modify the body proportions to better match The Rock's huge, muscular physique.

My bro helped me design the holster in 3D and I printed it at Shapeways. It came out perfectly! It fits the pistol down to the milimeter -- I'm amazed at the precision of the 3d printouts! If you care about such things, the holster is a Safariland Model 002 "Cup Challenge" Competition Holster and the revolver is a Dan Wesson PPC .357.

Head: Hot Toys (lengthened beard to match Fast Five goatee)
Body: Hot Toys (widened neck, added traps & lats, made taller)
Shirt: Ebay
Pants: Very Hot (lowered waist by 1/2", took in all seams)
Boots: DAMToy
Pistol: Sideshow
Holster: Custom 3D Printed
Gloves: Sideshow (converted to fingerless, change angle of trigger hand)
DSS Badge: Dragon Models DML

I'm pleased with the way the beard turned out. It's a pretty seamless transition from the original to the extended goatee.

The Safariland holster for the monster pistol was a 3D printed custom courtesy of my bro & my nonstop nagging of him.

Most of the body mods are temporary and can be removed without any damage to the figure.

Height check (L to R): Hot Toys ebay knockoff, Rock, Artfigures, Crazy Dummy. (look at the shoulder heights)

Here's Barracuda, the Punisher's greatest foe from the amazing PUNISHER MAX mature comic book series. Body is a mix of DC Deluxe, Marvel Rotocast, TNA wrestlers and BBI. Jeans are a pair of NLM overalls turned into regular urban baggy jeans.

Re: Joewolf's figures - Barracuda from The Punisher & Dead Rising's Frank West

"I've covered wars, ya know!"

Here's Frank West, the hero of Capcom's early Xbox 360 video game, Dead Rising! It's a crazy dummy head that I resculpted to add Frank's particular scowl, nose, and hair. Body is frankensteined from BBI, hitfigure, and other figs. I tried to recreate the look of the game where the shapes are all blocky, but the skin textures are realistic and detailed.

The chainsaw is from Power Team. I repainted, weathered, and bloodied it.

Loving this mate! Brilliant.

Thank you, my man!

Here's Vietnam vet Bill from Left 4 Dead zombie videogame.

I sculpted the cigarette on top of a wire from a trash twisty tie. The expose wire makes it easy to insert into the mouth subtly plus change the angle of the cigarette. Printed the SF patch and glued on.

The clothes are DML and Sideshow with ACE boots. All dyed, painted, adjusted and heavily weathered.

In the game, you can throw propane tanks and blow them up to create a fire wall:

Tried to do the blue vein effect but doesn't really show up on camera.

This the old BBI diecast M16. I add the light & tape, then repainted & weather the whole thing:

Bill is fantastic! Would love for you to do more L4D characters. I could do Francis' tattoos for you as well.

Thank you! I have plans for the whole crew, but they are a ways away. I was thinking that Francis' tattoos would need to be done with waterslide tattoos, so I may well take you up on your offer for him and for other projects that I have in mind! But how do you apply them cleanly to uneven surfaces like a muscle body? I noticed you get pretty good results even on bumpy bodies.

By the way, checked out your FB page. Love your Xmas dios!

Much appreciated! We use a pretty magical thing called microsol, it softens the decals so they meld to curves.
