It was with this onscreen handshake that Batman and the Boy Wonder made their secret, manly, love-pact known to an oblivious fanboy world.

Captain Barbell: the most famous superhero in the Fillipines!
I was contacted a couple of years ago by the largest TV station in Manilla and asked to make a suit for the latest incarnation of their favorite superhero....Captain Barbell! He is unique to the Fillipines, and I had never heard of him either. They wanted their suit to look very much like ths costume I had sculpted for Robin in Batman Forever, so I was obliging. The bright yellow and red reminded me of McDonalds, and I became ravenous for a Big Mac smothered in mustard and ketchup. but I fought the urge with super abilities.
Most superheroes have silly colored costumes, so I am not complaining. Captain Barbell's costume is bright yellow-gold because he received his special capabilities by lifting a golden barbell imbued with magic powers.

Here is the good Captain standing tall and ever vigilant, a bright, golden knight waiting to kick crime in it's tight little ass at a moment's notice.
The crotch was blurred in all official press releases by the network for reasons I do not yet understand. I think it is because the Fillipines are a very Catholic country.

Robocop-Car-1
Date: 08/17/2008
At this time I have only screen-captured images to show for the hundreds of hours of work I did on Robocop back in the long, hot summer of 1986. Rob Bottin did not allow me to take home any copies of my illustrations. He never did offer me a good reason for this.
I created hundreds of drawings, and dozens of very detailed renderings during the design process of this elaborate costume. Some of the best in my career as a pencil artist.
Every detail was worked out on paper before it was executed in clay. We explored many directions for this character before coming around to our initial idea: make a sleek, powerful, and heroic robot cop with stylized anatomy, and just the right amount of mechanical shapes. We looked a lot at Sorayama's Sexy Robot books to try and find a way to make the rather short and un-heroicly shaped Peter Weller into a believable super-cop.
I tried to sell Bottin on the idea of designing a molded OCP Police badge right into his breastplate, but he didn't go for it.
This suit looked like a million buck in the second film, once they had a chance work out some of the bugs and to make it out of a different material that could take a more perfect finish. These images are from the first, and only good Robocop film.

Here I am using Photoshop again to transform Ashley Judd into an exotic Armenian beauty, and lovely mixed black woman, a la Sade'. These were makeup designs that could have been pulled off with mostly hair, coloring, and contacts.

The old age makeup appliances I sculpted for this actress in her two roles in this film are probably the finest work I have ever done in this craft.
