12" Clone Wars Obi-Wan in CLONE ARMOR!

[BadMoon]

I've noticed that the way they photograph these hand painted pieces tends to give them an overly dramatic look sometimes. Just like the Indy sculpt, if we saw the raw McGregor sculpt I'm sure everyone would think it's dead on.

Oh it's there. Maybe it is the eyebrow arch. Plus look at the eyes. There is no white at the bottom in the paint of the sculpt. All I know is something throws it off for me. Still a badass figure and I have no problem paying for it.

I agree....

Dear Lord people!!! Its a friggin' toy!!! Put away the calipers and accept it as a great figure!!
print out a 1 1/2" picture and tape it to your ROTS obi wan and thats how it will look!

Oh Anzik we have a peaceful conversation here with no mal intent. Just working things out. Everyting is ok. Go check on CF she may need your help.

 

[MaulFan]

Ok here's the latest. I think most people in this thread know I've been in love with this HS and paint apps since the figure previewed, I'm just doing all this as a fun excercise, I need some mental distraction right now.

I'm just ball busting Badmoon, it amusing to watch Sideshow OCD in action!

The nose is completely accurate as are the proportions. The angle to the eyes are due to the tensing of the brow. I suggest you take a self portrait with a 'normal' expression and then a 'concerned' expression and you will see the same effect. I will guarantee that the fist images of repaints by either Mikey, Les or Josh will have everyone crapping their pants.

 

[TheObsoleteMan]

That's got it, Maulfan.

Sideshow, make the hair look like that please.

I totally agree I think. I am just not artistic enough to see it. However, Maul
fans recent contributions is making it look easy.

Got it! Maul if you can take away the buldge from the left eye. Yes his left not yours. LOL! Then remove all the lines on the right eye.

Make the eyes a bit more circular too and you got it!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Make the eyes a bit more circular too and you got it!

And stand on your head blindfolded while you do it. Please...

I would imagine that he is somewhat intentionally meant to look exactly like an AOTC Obi Wan... he's already a bit older, wiser and battle hardened. I should think that would make him different.

Also, like was said before you have a fairly high-resolution shot of the figure compared to a fuzzy one of the actor.

Forget the paint. From any of the wide shots, you can instantly tell it's Ewan. This is another fantastic sculpt by Trevor.

 

[Sick Boy 82]

It seems that a lot of the sculpts that SSC does before paint look amazingly like the subject they are trying to capture, but as soon as paint goes on, the resemblance is lost. Whats' up with that??

 

[JustinLuck]

Try painting and you will find out.

But I agree that some of the color choices and eyebrow thicknesses have been a bit perplexing.

 

[DarkArtist81]

It really comes down to paint application... You can take this shot as an example. The sculpt usually loses a tiny bit of detail in the molding process and then the painters in China do a bit of a paint by numbers with very thick paint and voila... likeness is gone. But with time and ingenuity, the likeness can be saved... just like this...

That cause you the pimp master painter Josh!!

Hey, what is the figure before the Wolverine in your banner? He looks awesome!! Do you have full figure pics of him?

Thanks man!

That was my custom "What if Obi Wan went to the Dark Side" figure.

 

[DarkArtist81]

I can honestly say that this sculpt is dead on... And I promise everyone that once I have it, I can prove that fact to everyone.
