Rhino - Ben Templesmith

Twin Cities Con seemed heavy on the anime and fake weapons, so there wasn't a line for Ben Templesmith. His art is so creepy and atmospheric. Everything that he draws looks a little uncomfortable. It's unlike anything else on the stands.

His Rhino looks pained, like the suit is compressing him. I love the subtle stubble on his chin - I imagine it is hard to shave in that suit! Ben's teeth always stand out to me, so I'm glad that I got those chompers and gums! I also really like his eyebrows and the furrowed brow. I asked why he chose yellow for the wash (I'm always interested when people go with colors other than grey) - he said that he was going for a fiery red and yellow and orange to symbolize Rhino's anger.
