Simon Smith is at it again, with yet another GI Joe x Transformers custom figure. This time he's mixed it up a bit with a G.I. Joe Sgt. Slaughter Optimus Prime custom, in place of the using Duke for his past work. As always, Simon's work is so well done it hardly looks like it is custom made. Read on to see the full details from Simon and images of the final project.
Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, hehehe let me introduce you to a special commission for the G.I. Joe Sgt. Slaughter Optimus Prime.
Normally, I use Duke with this combo but Swiz E Sticks is a man that wanted to see what I could do with a Sgt. Slaughter design and color idea. I found art for Sgt. Slaughter but needed to Photoshop his outfit a little more to look like the action figure.
This came out pretty well and should be on a custom card Joe... hint, hint G.I. Joe card makers out there.
I used a lighter green then the normal G.I. Joe Prime to try and match Sgt. Slaughters hat. The trailer is two tone with a lighter brown on top to give it more depth and try and match the paints. Would have loved to do a camouflage on the trailer to really push it over the top but am not at that skill set just yet.
I like this piece a lot and hope you all enjoy it!
