Zenith 10. Captain Miracle and Meta-Maid

Still on a Zenith drive, trying to complete all those I have made up and printed over the summer...

Captain Miracle

Captain Miracle was a Silver Age superhero from the 1960's and featured in his own comic. He has super-strength, invulnerability and flight capability

I have had to reprint and paint again as I had originally made him to small, though I might go back and repaint the first as Miracle Junior

Meta-Maid

Meta-maid is an original Zenith character and is a pre-op Transexual superhero.  Her costume reminds me of a mix between Golden Age Lady Phantom and Black Canary


Design sketch taken from the introduction to book 4 ( Titan edition) 


Meta-Maid between the Leopard from Lime Street and Zenith

She is shown to have super-strength and is part of Zeniths group of Superheroes in Book 4. 
The figure was created using Eldritch Foundry and I then added several elements using green stuff to better match her costume. Extending her mask, adding a corset and gloves.

Metamaid only appears in Black and white so I have had to be creative with the colours.I painted the boots, jacket, mask and glove as black leather, echoing Zenith's own jacket and also Black Canary. 

Her hair is shown as light and dark in various panels throughout the story but looks light in one of the original design sketches so I gave her blonde hair, another echo of Black Canary as well. 


For her skirt and top I settled on a light blue with a pink and white stripe which echoes the colours from the  Transgender Pride Flag as a nod to the character.
