Randy Bowen does it again, and I had to provide you with two images as proof!
I really enjoy his sculptures, and this lives up to my expectations. Once again, he is not afraid to provide us true geeks with characters outside the standard Marvel mainstream.
Bowen provided incredible (but simple) details, painting and personality all in this one bust. The sculpture portrays a simple silent wisdom, while maintaining the strength of Red Wolf's heritage. I really like this one. It caught my eye immediately.
Points in Favor:
- Color Selection - from the wolf to the skin, to the black around his eyes. I think that this statue was painted perfectly.
- Attention to detail - facial expression to the fangs on the wolf
- Body detail - Bowen did not "over sculpt" the body by adding in muscles that could not and would not ever exist.
- I know that it is a bust, but I really do prefer my busts to have arms. Something about "no arms" really throws me off; however, in this case, I can immediately look it over. So - I would almost not consider this a point against.
This one was just placed on the Bowen Designs website, and I recommend contacting your retailer immediately and placing your order.

But it's Red Wolf.
The Mephisto is sweet.
Kraven, I never liked and that sculpt even less. Hot pants indeed. Who knew they had spandex in the jungle.
Red Wolf looks like one of the better skin tone paint jobs from Bowen in recent years. The Falcon and Luke Cage look really splotchy in the pictures on Bowen's site. Medusa's paint looks good too.
Also, about the shading around his eyes, it really looks like it could be ashes from a fire or something. Very authentic.
