Premium Format Article: Re: Jean Grey - Jim Lee Era

I hit Ctrl - to shrink my page down, then I went to Sideshow's website, Order History and opened Microsoft's Snipping Tool, I cropped the images on the screen, opened up Microsoft Paint and re-arranged them. Depending on how small you want to go keep pressing Ctrl - or + to increase. I would adjust the size, position, order and zoom in Paint.

Thanks for the tip. Will try

I like the sigs of everyone that arranges their preorders as icons

Plus it helped me realise how much I have on PO...

I was on my phone and saw your sig. I was like what the hell are the squiggles and all.....just realized it was their names

After the dust has settled from Comic Con I've narrowed my list substantially. At first I was dead certain I was gonna have
Nightcrawler, Sentinel, Emma Frost, Magneto, Cable, Juggernaut on preorder this year. That totally didn't go the way I thought it would've.

Instead I am almost certain I am adding Green Ivy, Batgirl, Batman 89 to my list this year. No other pieces I don't forsee.

Sentinel and Doom are complete passes for me. Emma & Daredevil are still up in the air, shame they couldn't do Emma justice the second time around either. Daredevil is a better PF than Doom and Emma for sure. After seeing it in person I like the base a lot, I just don't like his pose. Rulk may be added, he is just too huge. It's a toss up between Red Hulk and Grey, I already have Green Hulk on PO and Gladiator Hulk should be coming soon.

thanks for the info. As I said before I really value the honest opinion of someone who saw these in person.

You could take this JPG I made and upload it into your signature. Im not sure if it is the recommended size but I tried to keep it small as possible.

I omitted Frog because it's an odd number out and would've made the columns longer.

Looks amazing Rulk, i didn't expect this at all. I appreciate the work you did. Don't worry about frog, i'll replace red skull with frog because he set to ship August.

Does this look creepy as ****?

I want the most realistic decals on my custom. I think it looks a lot better.

The statue has potential IMO

Yeah the green makes her look like an alien. Maybe tone it down? It looks almost fluorescent

What do you mean realistic decals? Like the eyes?

 

[Rulk]

better?

---

decals on Storm were less cartoony and more realistic than decals on Rogue for instance.

I just wanna get the eye color right.

 

[JediSword]

is that better?

Yes but dark middle seems a little too small. Makes her look like a robot or some sort of creature

thx for the feedback

 

[nemenforcer]

I can see why they decided to leave out the pupils

 

[dan350zr]

fixed.

Im sure it will look better in person [I hope]

Those Eyes !!! She looks like a crazy woman

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

Angle makes them googly, but with that said, I would definitely get this and just try a custom paint to get something on the eyes at least. I like everything else (except the EX cheeks), but I hadn't considered getting decals.


They do look a lot better, even if they look slightly googly.

Thanks for the idea Rulk

 

[Asdf]

Hahahaha she is loco with those eyes.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

Nah, that definitely looks wayyyyy better.


Don't see how this is so hard SS

 

[Rulk]

I think because the bottom half was re-sculpted and her neck position is tilted

Rogue for instance (from what I am told), the reason why the factory had problems with the eyes was because the sculpt was actually asymmetrical. It takes a really keen eye to notice but one eye was more slanted than the other. [For the EX portrait in particular]

Initially the concept artwork intended to have rogue looking down with her chin titled up.. This caused problems.

I understand why they wanted to avoid this hassle with Jean, it looks like the body has been re-done over and again. Im curious to see the initial concept cus the talent that did it can deliver great pieces.

No pupils for a future Storm PF would be totally acceptable. I wish they did have eyes on Jean though. *shrugs*

 

[Rulk]

The bottom half is still messed but I still like it.

It's amazing what a good set of eyes can do.



I would've hoped that they thought of the Cyclops PF while designing this, and how the two would look side by side together.



base should've matched Cyclops PF rock base (step up leg pose on rock) and like magneto's helmet positioned at the back of Cyclops base, Jean should've had Professor X cerebro helmet lying on front of rock base...

sounds incredible to me.

 

[JediSword]

is it still googley?



looks fine to me ???

Looks better with the bigger pupils. Add a white spot in there
