I always loved the big meathead Ultraverse version of Shazam! I decided to throw this guy together and try and get him done for the contest. To me, the SMC Venom was the perfect build for Prime. I used that with X3 Juggy Crotch, SMC Juggy legs, Stryfe lower legs, Radioactive Man fists, Cap pointy finger, DC Direct Guy Gardner head (resculpted), and Neca Ken head(resculpted) for his cheezy first appearance smiley face. I threw the extra head and finger in so he could mimic the cover of Prime #1, but really like the Guy Gardner head for a tougher look but still kind of cheesy grinning. I threw in an Odin Baf cape.
I sculpted up a nice veiny neck, some arm gauntlets, the belt, the chest, and both heads. Use lots of layers of reds and skintones for the paint job with airbrush detailing. I did a lot of drybrushing on the skin tones at first to really try and get that heavy ink look of the Ultraverse comics.
I hope you all dig him. Thanks for looking and stopping by as always!
It's PRIME TIME! This is how Prime is supposed to look, big, muscular, powerful. You made an amazing figure with great details. The pointed finger was a great addition, reminds me how Prime had that in the comics. This is the most awesome Prime I've seen.
