[Les Walker]

That is a stunning repaint!!!!! Dude, you sing, act and paint? Good lord, what can't you do?

Teehee. Thanks for the kudos, y'all.

I'm so glad to be able to finally show you some new work. I know I've been gone about as long as Les has!

More is definitely coming!

 

[MaulFan]

This is my new favorite paint job of yours, as Les said, there's emotion brought into it, and the level of coloration in the beard and the skin tones. Very nice work.

 

[Voorhees27]

Agreed, i've always liked looking through this thread, you are a very talented painter mikey.

 

[saintsyn]

Beautiful eyes on that Gandalf!

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

Really, really beautiful work, Mike. Others have said it already, but from the expanding technique up to the end totality, this is simply exceptional.

You ever think about sculpting?

 

[orbitingx]

Awesome work on Gandalf Mikey!

Btw I still get people complimenting on how movie realistic Gammy is....He is still a favorite of mine...Proud to own him and Watto..

 

[Customikey]

Hey all! I need cash, so I've put one of my classic customs up on ebay. I will take offers from board members, of course! Just PM me.

The Penguin is one of my very favorite customs, and one I will never reproduce, so this is definitely a one-of-a-kind.

Here's the link: https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180331710110

Very nice custom man! SO sad that you have to sell him!

 

[Cocoboloboy]

pmed you about pengy, mikey. Don't be insulted.

 

[amarcord]

Beautiful figure Mickey, sad to see you selling one of your favourites :-(

Good luck with the sale.

This board has been missing something without Custom Mikey!

Welcome back and great to see some new customs!!

BTW, a little critique. The eyes on Leia seem a bit sloppy. Was that intentional?

Haha, thanks for the offer, but I think I'll let it ride to see if Pengers can do a bit better.

Shropt, thanks for your honesty. I'm generally very proud of my eyes, but to tell the truth, I tend to post pics a bit larger than I should, which sometimes enlarges warts that would not be obvious or even apparent in hand.

Leia looks gorgeous in hand, but the enlarged pics do show off the slop. I may go in with a magnifier and fix her up a bit.

 

[Customikey]

I'm putting up two more customs for sale and your approval. Let me know what you think!

An artist learns nothing from people calling every he makes "perfect".

Yeah, couldn't think of a nice way to put it. Also the eyes almost look like he was going for an animated look to them so there was a chance it was intentional.

Haha, I appreciate the benefit of the doubt. Leia's sculpted eyes are pretty big, so getting the size of the irises right was and is a challenge.

Thanks Galactiboy. Go Fish.
Let's hold out a while longer and see how he do.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

That's right gboy. Go fish! In another pond that is and leave my penguin alone.
