Description Bill Foster is an ordinary man. Living in the everyday world.

A patient man. Who is running out of patience.

A peaceful man. Who is about to be pushed a little too far.

The story of an everyday guy who refused to take it one more day.

Do any of you remember this character? If none of you have ever seen the movie Falling Down starring Michael Douglas, then this will be your first time being acquainted with this character. Meet Bill "D-Fens" Foster, a disgruntled white collar everyman who was just fired from his job working at a defense agency and happens to be estranged from his wife and child, because of his rather extremely short temper. Caught in a severe traffic jam in Los Angeles, and with an unbearable heatwave afflicting the city, Bill Foster has had enough of the world and sets out to make things right.. one way or another.

I haven't seen any Microheroes depicting Michael Douglas' rather temperamental character from the movie Falling Down. I suppose it's because either it's due to the fact that the character isn't a superhero from the Marvel or DC universes or it's because that no other Microhero artist hasn't deemed the character significant enough to want to make a micro of him. Well, I figure that's about to change as this might be the very first Micro of Bill "D-Fens" Foster. He wasn't that very hard to make to be honest, since most of the parts were readily available but some needed to be modified.

While the shirt was readily available, there were no short sleeve variants of what could be described as an office shirt. So I had to cannibalize the shirt and make a short sleeve variant. That meant removing the long sleeves and use short sleeves from another shirt. I also had to erase one of the pockets and keep the one on the left, and I added the pens in the shirt pocket since the character had the pens. Also the tie didn't have the white stripes on it, so I had to add them.

The hair was very appropriate since the character had a short hair style, but the color was a bit difficult to get down since the hair appeared to be a graying light brown or dirty blond. So this was the best which I could get the hair. Originally, it was blonde but I had to recolor it to fit the character better. I think it works.

The and shoes were readily available though.

If I had to say.. this definitely was the easiest Micro I have ever made.

I like it! I enjoyed the spin the movie threw out with Bill as well: He tried to make things right, and it.. Didn't end exactly how he thought it would.

Glad to know you enjoyed the Microhero! I've got an entire sub-gallery full of them and if you want to take a look-- be my guest!

Falling Down is just one of those movies that doesn't really need a sequel or even a remake. I would go as far as to say that it's a classic and definitely a product of it's time, considering that it was shot in the early 90s. It also goes to show what is exactly wrong with the world and society as a whole, how people put in their time and are suddenly one day no longer economically viable. Also, add in the stress of losing your family.. A man can be a powder keg with a short fuse ready to explode!

All a good explosion needs is pressure and a spark... All the more dangerous when it has a direction, too!
