Re: 12" Obi-Wan IMAGE Thread

Josh,

Customikey's paint jobs look MUCH better in person.

I'm sure

Nah I'm sure it looks nice.

Do not fear... Fear is the path which leads to the darkside. :emperor

Fear is the mindkiller, the little death which leads to total oblivion.

I have no doubt your repaint (and your pics) will be awesome, DA.

Yes, to Customikey listen, you will!

I mean look at Brian Wilson. The guy should've had an output which out-performed Dylan, Beatles, and Stones but because of fear of rejection his creativity was stifled for decades.

Magnifico, Josh!

Re: 12" Obi-Wan IMAGE Thread

See? Superb work. Can't wait to see the full repaint!

Yep, he did replace Obi's tunic, but not with Mace's... I can't remember what tunic he used actually, I'll have to ask him. Regarding the base, he said this:

Wow, that is nice. (Even Obi-Wans boots.)

That Anakin looks a lot like the Adam Hughes repaint.

Thanks guys.... Will repost it again later.... needs another round of tweaking before it's ready for full release....

Sorry for the tease.....

Hey, I wanna see it too!

BTW, I think Josh said this is a hair/beard/eyebrow repaint only for "someone"... I'm sure he'll fill us in...

Re: 12" Obi-Wan IMAGE Thread

I just have some questions for Andy:

First of all, your head sculpt of Obi-Wan is outstanding but I have to ask, why wasn't the final product painted to look more like the prototype that was displayed at SDCC? Did you paint the prototype model yourself? If so, what colors/techniques would you recommend to repaint to match hair-color and flesh-tones? I really love this figure but I'm new to customizing and looking at some of the outstanding works here by Customikey and Dark Artist really inspires me to want to repaint mine but I'm really nervous because I don't want to ruin a $50+ figure.

I'd love some Dune Figures - Paul Atreides & Stilgar in Freman gear particularly.

All I need is the Baron and Feyd, as they appear in the film. Give The Baron his rubber coat, a "floating" base, and painted toe nails, and I'd be golden. Feyd needs his giant codpiece as the exclusive...

Man that looks cool! I should've picked up those Unleashed figures when I had the chance, I didn't like the figures but that lava contributes to make one damn fine display.

Re: 12" Obi-Wan IMAGE Thread

Alright so I'm a lazy photographer....

Are these better? Or is it really just the paint?

I think your repaint looks great Customikey! I would've been very happy if mine came out of the box looking like that.

Ok guys.... here are the pics for my beard and Hair repaint for a fellow boardmember..... i'm pretty proud of the work, which went through many many stages to get where it is today....

Re: 12" Obi-Wan IMAGE Thread

Beautiful, Josh, Just amazingly beautiful! Congratulations bro!

I can only imagine how great it looks in person!

Thanks Paul! Most of all, I hope you like it when it is mounted back on the rightful body and in your collection for you to enjoy. Thanks for your patience with me in this....

Re: 12" Obi-Wan IMAGE Thread

Totally, the reddish blonde wash really kicked in, I especially love all the colors and texturing in the beard, this pic really captures it for me.

I also want to commend Mikey for his full repaint, pictures do not do these works justice, you really have to see them in person or get Dave Myatt to shoot them to do them right.

Re: 12" Obi-Wan IMAGE Thread

The fleshtones on the face look really good. The drybrushing on the hair brings out the stem ring from the cast molding on the side of the head. My only suggestion would be to completely base coat over that or sand it down so that it doesn't get brought out when you drybrush on the highlights. Otherwise, fantastic.
