Custom Marvel Legends Minotaur Figure by DayYote

Posted by Mig on Sunday, May 25, 2008 @ 8:38 PM | PERMALINK | More Custom Figures: Custom Transformers | Custom Marvel Legends | Custom Star Wars | Custom GI Joe


In Greek mythology, the Minotaur was a creature that was part man and part bull. It dwelt at the center of the Labyrinth, which was an elaborate maze-like construction built for King Minos of Crete and designed by the architect Daedalus and his son Icarus who were ordered to build it to hold the Minotaur. DayYote brings this mythic creature to life with his Custom Marvel Legends Minotaur figure. The detailing on this figure is a site to be seen and held. The sculpting and the paint washing techniques give this figure true depth and realism. Here is how DayYote describes how he created this wonderful beast:

"My Minotaur has been painted and sculpted with the finest materials. Aves apoxie sculpt,golden airbrush paint,and vallejo paint were all used in the creation of this masterpiece. Not only the finest materials but also the finest techniques were used also in the creation process. I applied a lot of sculpting, airbrush, paint washes, paint layers, dry brushing, and leather work. I even made my own battle axe. The Minotaur started out as a legendary heroes Pitt with everything being hand made. Original design of the armor came to me in my dream with a huge monster wearing armor that had huge teeth. A monster within a monster."
