Character: Mephisto Artist: Andy Bergholtz aka dA's MonsterPappa

Forget his actions a few years ago in the life of Spider-Man, in classic Marvel villainy few can hold a torch to Mephisto. When I was trolling through the pages of deviantART looking for some wickedly rendered piece of the devilish adversary, I didn't think for a moment the winning work of such a rare character would ever be 3D - but there it is.

Better yet the quality of Andy's pop fiction sculptures never dips from that point on. Princess Leia, classic Hollywood monsters, the Incredible Hulk, and the cast of G.I. Joe all fall under his sculpting knifes, with equally fantastic results.

The ability to draw 2D, which 'MonsterPappa' also displays is one thing, but to start with a lump of moulding clay and transform it into something so detailed, well that's something else entirely.
