I made a rendition of Zangief years and years ago, and recently have only gotten to make his Mecha variant and his Beast design in Street Fighter Duel. This finally completed the trifecta! Zangief was too awesome to not revisit, and getting the order in saved me a ton of time. As happy as I am with this recreation, the mecha color variant is still my favorite.

Swapped out the lower legs for Juggernaut. Cut and resculpted the knees. Sculpted the bracers, belt, lower leg hair, chest hair, mohawk, and beard. From there, a full repaint, and all done!
