Captain America Window Display Is Up

For the upcoming Captain America movie, I did another window display for my friends at The Comic Outpost. Here are the pics:

M.O.D.O.K.

So there you have it. A fairly good representation of the comic book characters if I do say so myself. 

As usual, half inch foamboard hand cut, Gessoed, painted with acrylic paint and finished with Sharpie markers. Also, these guys are for sale as are all the cutouts I do for The Comic Outpost. Cap and Red Skull are $350 each or $600 for the pair. M.O.D.O.K. is quite a bit smaller so his price is $150. So if you're in the San Francisco Bay Area, stop on by and take a look at the window displays and all the other cool stuff they have in the store.

Enjoy.

M.O.D.O.K.

One thing about doing these window displays bothers me...lots and lots of leftover scrap foamboard in irregular shapes. Sure, there are times when I get to use the scrap to reinforce one of the displays (like Thor's outstretched arm), but for the most part I've got a lot of bits and pieces that I'd like to make something from. So I decided that since the villain side of the displays were a little less than the hero side, that I'd make a few of the lesser known villains. 


First up, M.O.D.O.K. (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing). M.O.D.O.K. is a villain that started off as a serious baddie, but soon became more of a punchline in the comics. He's been associated with Captain America, who (surprise, surprise) has a movie coming out next month. So you can all guess what the next window display will actually be up at The Comic Outpost in a few weeks. Anyway, enough backstory, here he is in all his miniature glory...M.O.D.O.K.

Same specs as the others, 3/4" foamboard, hand cut, painted with acrylic paint, and finished with markers. Every now and then I get the inquiry as to how much one of my pieces would go for (since they are all on sale), and this little guy is priced at $150. Yes, I know it isn't cheap, but neither are the hours put into making a one-of-a-kind piece.  

Enjoy.
