Don't mind me, just having a lot of fun with the laser sword app Paramore turned me on to...

Anybody see the pics from this eBay ad? For some reason it looks a lot more like ANH Luke to me than he original HT sculpt even though it's got to be a recast.

How does that actually look better?

I don't know. I just...don't...know...But I had to buy one.

The sculpt had you at 'yellow hair'.

You'd almost need a black body to go with skin that dark.

And it's weird how blonde hair just can't seem to be replicated with paint. HT's looks like copper, this is the tan/gold color of 1970's curtains.

It's not THAT dark, Captain Hyperbole. And I agree, the hair looks a bit too yellow in those pics. Good thing I can paint a little.

Well, now I'm Captain Hypersensitive thanks to you.

Watch the paint on those knock-off heads - I was given one of the Luke Bespin knockoffs and the paint wasn't bad but it could be rubbed off with a firm finger push (not even a fingernail.) I ended up burying it under the X-Wing helmet but I would have been bummed if I'd paid $30 for it. I managed to hide the areas where the paint had rubbed off.

Thanks for the heads up on the paint apps. I'm planning on using this for X Wing Luke too if it doesn't look that great in hand.

Yeah, I was thinking about shading the hair a bit darker, letting the streaks shine through. Looks good there QGF.

Nice work! Bigger pupils definetly helping here. As well as a little more red under and on the lower eyelid. If you did a bit more shading around the bottom mouth muscles to emphasize them a bit this could really work well. Almost...ALMOST...gives me hope for this sculpt!

 

[Comatoast]

Also, just because these things don't always make thier way to the SW forums until it's too late...

I think Luke is very underrated. His hair, especially. Looks very good when lighted properly.

Any more pics of this on the body QuiGon?
And is that your paint work?

I actually think it needs the opposite on the eyes - it needs more whites of the eyes showing. The main thing that bugs me about the sculpt is how fat the jaw looks. Looks like he got popped in the jaw haha

I may be wrong but i think that's just the JC Hong painted prototype.

Oh really!? Hmm, I think this looks better than the shots I've seen of the prototype.

The thing that kills this for me is the cone head hair. I might remove the hair and resculpt something that resembles his Look . ( no pun intended )
