Crystal

Avengers Month continues with Crystal in her modern look, as seen in Son of M, Silent War, and other stuff. She was an Avenger for years, and never wore anything like this. Well, I did see her in The Infinity War last night, on one of those Ron Lim raws Everyone pages, and her otufit was kind of similar to this. But her look from the Bob Harras Avengers years made me always think Rogue was eating a giant black-and-white cookie, so I'm not doing that.

In my WIP post, I spoke about my brilliant plan to spray the whole thing in yellow and do Crystal in like five minutes. This did not work. At all. I somehow got paint rubs!

So here’s my alternate solution. I used my light-yellow, which covers really well, and went over that with Tamiya Transparent Yellow to get the gold that Crystal seems to have. It’s a neat effect, although it looks dirtier than I’d want.

The head is Mystique. That head goes through an amazing metamorphosis when repainted, due to, I think, the big eyes that are hidden with blue skin and pupilless detail. I had to shrink the eyes a tad to avoid an anime look, and I’m not sure I’m all the way there. The hair is from a Marvel Select Spider-Woman. Inhumans have really thick hair; this is well established.
