Ken Washio the Eagle - Render this again!

Description

This is a comparison of
Ken Washio the Eagle by DigiFuMaster and Ken Washio the Eagle by DigiFuMaster

I was compelled to update the older one to improve on (or simply changes) a few aspects:
- Base figure's now Genesis and is a total restart. Yeah, he looks leaner now and IMO, more like the original series' Ken.
- The new cape corrects the inside blue to red and irons out the crinkly & cringe-worthy mess that was the older one.
- I'd modeled the newer image's helmet (to how I preferred) whereas the other was modified from a football helmet which I'd mistakenly stated I modeled & failed to credit DAZ 3D, in that submission, but it's corrected now ^^;.
- He's now wearing my newly modeled bracelet :). The older watch in the older version's highly inaccurate looking.
- Slightly muting the blues & tweaking the gloss-factor on the bodysuit to make it less plasticky.
- Relighting & reshadowing to enhance realism.
- Replaced spacey background for consistency with the other team-members' pics. Plus, sky = original Gatchaman whereas space = Battle of the Planets, no?

Please, visit the individual pieces to see them in detail and read more info about them.

For this comparison, here's the framework meme I used, with some alterations ;)

Definitely improvement! Cape colors are right and he doesn't look like a plastic figure. I was fine with his build in the original but you're right, he looks like the young Ken from the beginning of the first series with this leaner frame. The new cape also looks more fluid.
