Amazing how just paint can change the emotion of the same sculpt, it's obviously limited, but still powerful. That's like the 3rd or 4th DA Anakin paint I've seen and they've all had different paint jobs and different emotion.

Thanks Venny. I had to send my last reg. Anakin head to josh to be repainted. It sucks being broke.

thats the exact emotion I wanted.. limited but still powerful... like not exactly sith yet but "getting there."

 

[MaulFan]

Ya, yours deffinately has that "I know there are things they're not telling me about The Force" frustrated look, with a hint of "**** em all!" badness finely woven into the paint, a very nice emotion on it for sure.

Thanks guys!! And NICE pics Venny.... love the cloak work.

Yeah, it's great how much you can squeeze out of one headsculpt. I love painting that one, it never gets old to me. And every single time I am surprised by the outcome.

Well since this threads active again i'll throw in a new pic of my first (and still one of my favorite) sideshow figs.

It's nice to see the SS star wars figs. pic threads are being kept alive Never get tired of looking at the pictures being posted. Great looking anakin magnus!

 

[JustinLuck]

Thank you for the compliments everyone!! It's been over a week now since I had the opportunity to touch a paint brush. Hopefully tomorrow night I will finally get a chance again...if the planets align right. I will repaint Anakin for the second time.

 

[JustinLuck]

Magnuz, how did you achieve the tucked in the glove look? Is that from the Rebelscum tutorial?

Great Pic.

 

[JustinLuck]

Ok, let's hope tonight is the night.

 

[JustinLuck]

Ok, it's happening tomorrow no matter WHAT people demand of me.

 

[JustinLuck]

Ok...so it happened Saturday night.

I hadn't touched a paint brush in two weeks since my last pics. I ended up stripping down the paint and starting over. Funny, though, how my paint style didn't change much. But it's the emotion that I'm going after--a calm, confident Anakin with a hint of potential anger.

There are plenty of flaws in my paint. For example, it wasn't until I took pictures that I noticed his eyes are two different colors, even though I used the same blend of paint and same paint brush. But I think I'm improving and can't wait to try again. What do you guys think?

Take 2:

I will retouch him tomorrow, (hairline, eyes, lips) and post updated pics.

 

[Ven]

pretty awesome justin!

 

[lesternessman]

pretty awesome justin!

indeed, that looks pretty good.

 

[JustinLuck]

Thank you guys! I appreciate all comments, both positive AND negative! I haven't retouched him yet, but here's a pic with natural sunlight:

 

[Xander]

Still one of my favorite figure! Even though the head on mine sucks. I think he was the second Star Wars one I got and I debated over it for a while! I think the rubber band trick on the arm make a world of difference.

 

[The Josh]

It is a nice job.

Anakin is one of my top faves. Something about the figure just grabs it for me.
