Description

Vintage character update: Mon*Star from Silverhawks (1986).

I didn't watch very many episodes of this show and can't remember anything in particular aside from Mon*Star's transformation:

As a little kid, seeing the main villain take things to the next level by nuking himself with moon radiation, which in turn caused his body to be obliterated as armor grew from inside of him, was pretty intense.

While searching google for reference images I found this picture: [link]
The pose was really cool on Mon*Star's humanoid form despite there being almost nothing to work with. I redrew the image, the redesigned elements were very minor. The armor chestpiece and spike shoulderpads seemed out of place, so they were left out. I wanted to get a weird Iggy Pop physiqe, really ripped but also sick and somewhat emaciated.

The armored version never looked as cool as Mon*Star's human form in my opinion. I only wanted to include it to showcase the physical difference between the two forms. I'm not a big fan of drawing extensive amounts of hard surfaces, so instead I modeled out the armored version in 3dsMax, and then gave it a 2d treatment in Photoshop. The proportions were pushed more, but the design stayed pretty faithful aside from some generic joint work to make him a bit more functional.

They would be really great as action figure, with the 2 sizes differences :)
