Made of Magisculp in 1/5 scale as usual. The inspiring cover (on the background) is from an old issue of the Wonder Woman comic about the ancient Hiketeia Greek ritual.

The song 'Kinky Boots' is running through my head.

Nicely done. Very smooth. But is there any more context, regarding the comic or the ritual?
 
saw this inprog on the CH. turned out nice. thought it was going to be a Full Figure which is a surprise. was the a way to lay Bats down and have the fist next to his face? might work better with audiences. just a thought Calvin. :)

Wow...the ancient Greek ritual of stepping on a guy's face with high heels...uh...boots?
I know guys who pay big bucks for this kind of stuff....
Could you go into what the ritual was all about Calvin? Really curious...
 
Thanks. Tim my first thought was to make a smaller base with a lot of little bats flying away but that's too much work and I'm too lazy...

Well, so the Hiketeia ritual was basically about granting a total protection to the requester, someone who places himself under the protection of another person. As someone said "It was holy ground where you were protected by the gods. That's what the word hiketeia means - protection by the gods".

A friend of mine point me out about this smart definition: click here, while this url is about Greek sanctuaries as a place of refuge.

About the comic, Wonder Woman kicks Batman face to avoid him acting against a young girl who asked her for protection invoking the ancient Greek ritual.
