Tutorial on how to paint this figure

_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - Before World War I, Brit's father worked on a super serum that would prevent death. Embittered to the world and already given up, his father did not use the finished serum on himself, instead deciding to use it on his children to protect them in the years ahead. The serum was most successful on Brit, who became virtually indestructible. The natural aging process in his body also slowed down, Brit has fought in many wars throughout the years, and now in the modern times acts as a government agent under the command of Cecil Steadman, alongside his partner and best friend Donald Ferguson.
When Robot, the leader of the Guardians of the Globe, and Monster Girl are trapped in an alternate dimension, Cecil asks Brit to take command of the Guardians of the Globe. Now armed with jet boots which give him the ability to fly (However inexperienced at it he might be), and jet gloves, which speed up his punches to make up for his lack of super strength, he proves to be a great leader for the team, and leads the Guardians of the Globe to save the world while Invincible is off planet.

FLYING

[Lord Pyre]

Here's the figure I'm planning on using. I'll take more "professional" pictures later, it's late and I just wanted to give you guys an idea on what I had.

Spoiler Alert!

Also, the only real good image of him in his current costume is the one in the OP, so if it doesn't work I'll go through Guarding the Globe and try to find some others I can scan in.

He's not the most flashy superhero out there, so I used his most modern powerset (Boots that give him flying, even though he's generally crappy at it. And he's been the leader of the Guardians of the Globe when Robot isn't there, and he's good at it). Should be fairly simple.

Only question I have is, is the life justified? Human with 6 life & Impenetrable Skin??

Having said that if he as powers is he really a Human?

I don't know the guy, the powers seem mechanically ok.

If he's human, I don't see any way 6 life is justified, especially with 6 defense and Impenetrable Skin. Does he fly on his own power or use a jet pack or something?

I know we love us some Indy comic characters LP, but let's not love them too much Are Humans in Indyland that much tougher than Humans in Marvel and DC?

[SirGalahad]

Sounds like he should be on par with Luke Cage, who has 5L/5D.

[Lord Pyre]

Image has no terms for "metahuman" or whatever, so I really don't know what to do for race. He got his powers from a serum, so he'd be a mutate in Marvel terms. If other Kirkman readers out there can help me out with species, that'd be awesome. That said, if there's nothing else, it probably wouldn't be too crazy to just call him a mutate.
His only power is total invulnerability (As in the government straps a nuclear bomb to his back and drops him on a supervillain they can't beat, and if the bomb doesn't work, he takes care of them himself). I actually toned down his defense from what I had before. As far as anyone knows he's totally invincible.

And I already said that he uses jet boots to fly, and he sucks at it, so the crash landing power is for theme, basically.

[IAmBatman]

I think dropping the life to 5 would be appropriate here. Are there any Human synergies we want to avoid on this guy? I wonder if something like "Superhuman" would be appropriate here?

[Lord Pyre]

I think the only real synergy is Alfred healing, which he definitely doesn't need. Superhuman could work, not sure it's ever used in the comics, but I wouldn't be opposed to it (Or Mutate, like I said).

Why the drop in life? He's never even been knocked out as far as I can remember. He's a ton more invulnerable than Luke Cage. The only trade off is he doesn't have superstrength.

[A3n]

I just did some reading up on him in Wiki & an attack of 5 doesn't sound justified either. It says, "... he is only as strong as a regular human male relative to his physique." With that I would go a max of 4 & still be thinking it might be too much.

I also don't like the Brit / Brittany name / secret identity thing. If it's a nickname then it's not a real name.

Yeah I can support Mutate or Superhuman but the life at 6 does seem appropriate.

[IAmBatman]

If we change the species, we can probably go with 6 here. But with him as a Human, I think it feels too odd.

With his new costume which I based the figure and design off of, he has the boots and gloves that not only give him flying, but also boost his strength which almost give him superstrength.

And his real name is Brittany, but he calls himself Brit because it's much more manly.

I'm fine with a species change, almost all my Invincible/Kirkman designs I have that aren't obviously alien I have as human as placeholders for now.
