Setting out to be the “Master of Villains”, I wanted to provide customers with the bad guys to their choice heroes. Given that Spider-Man is a popular choice, I opted to start this re-branding by focusing on the original line-up of the SINISTER SIX. When looking for reference images, I settled on a statue from XM Studios for the base. He came with interchangeable heads, one of which had a floating skull in it. Also the mesh pattern on his costume went diagonally and not up and down. It may have helped my decision to start with him first because SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME was about to come out, although I knew I would not be utilizing that look in my finished piece.
