John Carter of Mars

[Michi]

A novel character by Edgar Rice Burroughs: John Carter, an American Civil War veteran captain who went to Mars in 1866, where people only clad in jewelry... (just to silence any rumours that I only paint naked women)

Too right, thats not pleasant on the eye. ( The painting is superb by the way, its just the subject matter and the angle of the photos.Its a bit in your face)

Sweet!  I loves me some John Carter.  A great paintjob too

I think that the angle of the photos is absolutely hilariously perfect   One of the more endearing parts of John Carters character was that he spent so much time starkers: shy he definitely was not.  He had no problem with nakedness, but he did have trouble talking to women

The Disney/Pixar movie is in production, I cant wait!

I have a few of the Bronze Age range of not-Barsoom figures, but they all took a more modest approach to the characters: loincloths.  Plenty of topless women, but they didnt expose buyers to any waist down nakedness.

I wouldnt mind getting a balls-to-windward figure of John Carter.  Where does your figure come from?

One last minor thing: I always thought that John Carter was dark haired, not blonde.

Itīs a miniature from Tinman I got from an American in exchange for some painting. His haircolour is artistic license by me. I already have so many dark haired figures and my wife likes the Irish/Shottish orangeheads.

He didnīt come alone:

I dont blame her.  My wife is an Irish "orangehead"

I must do some research re Tinman figures then, thanks.

God bless the low gravity on Mars, thats all Ill say...

Fantastic! I've been musing these minis..... Well done!

[Steve F]

I hate to point this out, since the flesh tones are so well done, but ... no pubic hair!  It's a long time since I read the books, so I can't remember: does John Carter shave or wax? 

[sasori]

Now there's a man what pays attention to the important things. 

[comet5]

and he appears to have lost something, perhaps a shaving accident?

   Good Lord, how has Hammers missed this thread? 

Lovely paintwork - your flesh tones are superb, even if I'm not sure I like the figures themselves all that much

Nice job, Michi. It's good to see a painted example of the Tinman Barsoomians.

You could always say that it's Ulysses Paxton and a couple of Lady Therns...

For the squeamish, these figures do come in a semi-clothed variant as well.

I wouldn't say I'm squeamish, but I'm not sure Mrs Maximus would approve of all that rudeness

Thats some bloody fine painting of what I see as a bloody lucky fella

It's David Carusso in CSI Mars. Put your sunnies back on!

Seriously great painting and a great mini.
