Locker room art

Archie Brandt (currently Transformed into the black thug Donte McIntyre) decided to have some fun with the rest of the fellas at the Four-One. So, one night after the third shift had left the locker room, Donte put up this poster:

It got a lot of laughs, but the amount of man-on-man action with the Transformed muscle-bruthas tripled after it got put up...

Video Study #5: The Superhero from Metamorphose Masks

I am following up my photo review of Yves Gravelle's mask with a video review. You can see the eye and lip fitment for yourself - extremely well done.

Unlike his "Soul Man" mask, the "Superhero" is cut tighter and I did not need any padding. The mask has the most well-developed pecs and traps I have ever seen on a mask, yet it is comfortable to wear. I had asked Yves for a bit of a more villainous cast to this mask, and let him develop the character - I love what he did with the eye scar and the facial hair.

The character of "Yvgeny Umaskaya"  (and no pun intended with the last name!) is a perfect fit to this new face - as the former head of the Malina (the Ukrainian Mafia), he fits in perfectly with my other bad guys!

 

Photo Study #29: Ukrainian Muscle - Evgeny Umaskya

One of Lucio Giambi's most trusted lieutenants, Yvgeny was a Ukrainian crime boss in his own right. Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control or comprehension, the stone-cold killer's life was saved by the young American crime lord. Yvgeny emigrated to America and uses any means necessary to restrict access of the Russian Mafia to Lucio's current or future businesses.

This is the "Superhero" mask developed by Yves Gravelle of Metamorphose Masks. I had initially been a little put off by the mask as it looked a little too rough around the edges to really be a superhero (again, I can't help but think of Henry Cavill in "Man of Steel" as a comparison).

 

But a villain... now, THAT'S a perfect use for this mask, and hence the back story. Yvgeny will be making an appearance in a story to come, so stay tuned!
