Hide yo' (unborn) kid! Hide yo' wife! Because this contract-loving, mother-stealing, Lord of Hell is out to make deals that are guaranteed to ruin your day!

Now on to the breakdown!

Mephisto:

-I built this bad-boy using a Thor: The Mighty Avenger line Frost Giant because I wanted to make him bigger and taller than most MU figures without looking too bulky.
-I modified the arms by lengthening them a bit and giving him hinged wrists for added articulation.
-Sculpted every additional detail on him including the gloves, boots, belt and the little wrinkles on his suit
-Sculpted him up an original head-sculpt (using ProCreate putty) that I based off of his Infinity Gauntlet with some modifications like a redder skin-tone instead of the classic pink, a less gaunt face and a fuller head of hair for a more contemporary look.
-Gave him a fully pose-able cape that I made using red spandex, bead wire, and some fabric glue that I then weathered and stained using a soldering iron, paints, and some charcoal for some authentic looking singed effect. The loincloth are also spandex.
-Painted him up with Vallejo Game Colors and sealed with lacquer spray-paint.

Throne :

-Built thw throne using a styrofoam as base, covered it up in foil and tape to get the rough shape, and then sculpted it over with paper mache for the stone parts(Used heavy-duty wood glue on the paper mache mixture for a tough finish).
-Sculpted the bone spikes, protruding giant spine, and broken ribs using Aves Apoxie.
-Recasted a bunch of G.I. Joe Montezuma skeleton arms and heads that I liberally sprinkled(and partially buried) all over the throne for a more macabre look.
-Painted it up with with Vallejo Model Color for a duller shading that vividly contrasts with the figure's more vibrant Vallejo Game Color paint application.


This has been a fun build that involved a LOOOOOOOT of sculpting and I am quite pleased with the way it turned out. Not too bad for my first diorama piece, huh?

Anyway, comments and criticisms are highly appreciated, and feel free to ask if you've got some questions about the methods I used for this build! Thanks for looking!
