Black Adam #054

SHAZAM! It's Black Adam! Black Adam is pretty awesome, he's one of my favorite villains as of recently. When I pulled this fig out of the Superman set I wasn't overly excited but after doing my research on the Captain Marvel of things, he's pretty bamf.

The Original - I didn't take one myself so I pulled this one from Herominis.com

I did some research on this fig. the soldier BA is choking to death is the gentlemen who designed the sculpt. I looked up said gentlemen and pulled an image of him in uniform from Google search so I could replicate it on my soldier. It's basic camo so nothing to fancy. Here he is!

To begin, BA was removed from his rock base with a hobby knife, and the rock was drybrushed codex gray, to ceramite white, to pure white. The lightning bolts are that see-through plastic, that HeroClix sometimes come with to make them look in motion. I drybrushed the part of the rock the bolts were coming out of to attempt to give a glowing effect. Black Adam was painted Black and highlighted with a 75/25 abaddon black and codex grey. The yellow areas of BA were painted yriel yellow with heavy highlighting of sunny yellow then 50/50 sunny yellow / ceramite white. Adam's eyes we're painted sunny yellow with a light drybrushing to give a supercharged look. His skin tone was painted xv-88 with an elf flesh layer. I washed his skin in a heavy gryphonne sepia to give him a tan look. Adam is from Egypt so I wanted him to be slightly darker. His cheek bone down was washed Devlan Mud for a 5 o'clock. 

The Soldier. He was painted with a military camo pattern xv-88 for the brown, rhinox hide, and caliban green. His skin tone was xv-88 layered with elf flesh, with a highlight of 75/25 elf flesh, ceramite white.
