Action figures have long been a perfect compliment to comic books, since every kid (or kid at heart) has that natural desire to act out adventures with their favorite heroes off the drawn page. <\/span>Every so often, a unique style of figure comes along that breaks the mold, so to speak. Each Saturday, Donny B<\/a> will be showcasing various offerings from Art Asylum’s take on the ‘block figure’, with a weekly spotlight on Minimates<\/strong><\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Amidst the vast roster of characters in the Green Lantern Corps, Kilowog<\/strong> stands out as one of the most memorable non-human ring bearers. Known for his more rough-and-tumble approach, Kilowog made a name for himself as the foremost trainer of new GL recruits, often referring to them with the somewhat endearing term “poozers” (meaning useless rookies<\/em>).<\/p>\n

Kilowog is a bigger character in the comics, so\u00a0when Art Asylum released his\u00a0Minimate (from the second DC series), they utilized a 2.5″ body and a (retro-comparatively<\/em> modest) big chest piece to compliment his stature.<\/p>\n

This was a simple photoshop project. I had set Kilowog in front of a green backdrop and lit him with a green light for tones\/highlights and couple traditional white lights to overpower the general green tint and draw out the\u00a0natural color scheme\u00a0of the ‘mate itself. Then I worked in the Lantern symbol in the background in post-production.<\/p>\n
