Dr. Fate 13"

Really pleased with this one. Had to enlarge the New Frontier Dr. Fate headsculpt twice (it's a smaller scale than the Alex Ross Justice series I used for the Hawks). Sanded endlessly to get smooth, then layers of paint to give a solid look to the helmet. Eye painting was challenging, but finally happy with how it turned out.

Gloves are handstitched again with fingers. Kept the cape voluminous, and can be folded down over the figure as well.

Boots are handstitched, using Lex's soles as base.

This one took forever to get right, but feels like the time and expense was worth it. Will do another in gold instead of yellow with modern mantle/amulet.
