Continuing my line of custom-made action figure cards that make use of my own cosplay images (see others here and here), below is my new Ant-Man customized figure and card! Click all images to enlarge, as you follow along!
 |
| Above: Using a ton of different pics of me in the cosplay costume (see it here), I cut-and-pasted limbs, heads, hands, and legs, all in an attempt to achieve a very foreshortened action pose! Once done, I used a few Photoshop filters (to create a line-oriented "comic art look"), and some further effects, all to get the figure I envisioned for the card front! |
 |
| Above: The original card (left), and my revised card (right)! I used Photoshop to add, move, reconstruct, or replace elements for better composition. |
 |
| Above: My finished card, printed on heavy card stock, and ready for adding the figure! |
 |
| Above: Now to revise the figure itself, to look like me! To create his belt, I simply used Photoshop and photos of the costume, to reconstruct the unique belt for printing (at a very tiny size), to then place upon the figure! |
 |
| Above: The original figure (left), and my finished, customized figure (right)! Ant-Man's blue accessories were painted black, matching costume details were added, and belt affixed! |

| Above: The finished custom card and figure, ready for display! |

| A great way to celebrate the amazing costume design work of 60s comic artists Jack Kirby and Larry Lieber! |
