thanks man, there were a few other designs I was working on (one looking way too much like the rock dudefrom Ninja Scroll) so I tried to stay close to the original while altering him a bit

Holy crap, that's cool. I dig your use of darks to bring out the "rocky" texture. Cool that you're taking a different look at an old character.

one of the more original renditions of Thing I have ever seen.
a lot less "Cartoony" and a lot more realistic then more people's rendition
awesome work

i like the way he looks its diferent and thats good if he were real or in a movie i think that this look would be a better one cus he still has rock skin and super strong but this version looks like he can move faster and quicker and that mean more cloberin.

skmonteiro [2004-09-04 23:58:06 +0000 UTC]

nice work. drawing wise this is great. character wise i can see where there would be gripes. altho i do prefer the thicker wider thing, i do like to see things changed up so congrats on that. the only thing that rubs me the wrong way is his head. he just looks like he has too much cranium.

geezone [2004-09-04 19:04:59 +0000 UTC]

Not a fan of this look cause Ben Grim, in Human mode, isn't that thin in the facial regions.
The costume design looks great, but too similar to your Cyke bust...
I like the originality either way.

DaveIgo In reply to geezone [2004-09-04 23:16:00 +0000 UTC]

hey thanks man.
Yah, the costume is my favorite part! *Cries* PSYCHE! I totally forgot about working the trim in there to makeit look like the ultimate suit... damnit!
I Wasnt trying to play him off of the orginal one, trying to do my own take on all of the characters I do, some staying a lot more truer to the original than others. I was thinking of an army mans build, buff guy, broad shoulders, skinnier waist, and hell if I know what his face looks like, I guess thinner obviously.

geezone In reply to DaveIgo [2004-09-05 09:20:38 +0000 UTC]

Ok. Understandable, but when you do see Ben's human face...prepare for nightmares.

throbulator [2004-09-04 16:19:17 +0000 UTC]

the hole abdomen area looks really good and the arms are well done with the detail and all. The only thing I can complain about here is the head. I usually picture Ben Grim with a wider head. It looks too long and skinny for me but it's him in your rtyle so you can do whatever the hell you want with him...

DaveIgo In reply to throbulator [2004-09-04 23:13:06 +0000 UTC]

before his head looked like the guy from ninja scroll... that just didnt read like him at all unless I gave him the shirt, and it still didnt. I tried looking fora good medium, some peopel liek ti some dont. Thanks for the feedback man, Im always reading all of these and take everything in.
