Deviousness |
Elements of his wardrobe are admittedly a little dated these days, but then in the context of the universe he inhabits I think it still works pretty well.
DH has always been one of my absolute favourite comic book characters - I actually think a "Death's Head" movie would be incredible and once considered making a 3D model of him to animate to get a feel for what such a movie would be like, but with his limited facial articulations (eyebrows only) I wonder whether there's enough expressiveness there to bring the character out of the realms of the static comic frame. That said, there are many extremely expressive robot-like characters who get by fine on their voice intonations and body language (C-3P0, Darth Vader, Marvin the Robot from Hitchikers's Guide to the Galaxy, Twikki from Buck Rogers, WALL-E), so maybe there's hope for him yet.
It's interesting the direction they've taken with the new Transformers. They've tried as much as possible to leave behind the classic non-expressive faces in order to create a full range of expressions - I personally prefer Optimus Prime with his 'mouthguard' in place.
Death's Head could be a great character to feature in an Anime or CG feature film (live action might be just a little too high-budget for such an admittedly obscure Marvel character).
I love these comic strips you're doing on here though - it's great to see any kind of DH revival, particularly when the visuals and the spirit of the original comics are being kept intact!
And against the Hulk!!?? Taking a downpayment on the contract was definitely the shrewd approach!! ;-P
