Custom-Showcase: (Spawn) Angela by Jared Cain (Nikejerk)
From Jared Cain aka Nikejerk comes a custom-figure themed after a comicbook character that should be instantenously identifiyable to fans of Spawn comics: Presenting the angel bounty-hunter ANGELA!Risen from the fictional "dead" (in this particular and not via the comicbook), Angela was built on top of an Erick Scarecrow Liberty vinyl figure, and was completed as a private commission. (Go bug Jared at jared.cain@gmail.com for commish, yo). Jared also mentioned that Spawn was the only comic he had ever collected!

Jared-said: "The person who commissioned this piece is a huge fan of Spawn and has quite a collection of custom Spawns...but doesn't have an Angela. We talked things over and decided that the Liberty would be a good base to start from...even though I ended up changing the figure drastically.
I'd say that more than 50% of the Angela custom was sculpted from scratch. I anticipated a certain amount of sculpting but as I worked I realized that what I wanted to do with the piece was going to require serious reworks so I just kept at it and this is the end result."
