Obi Wan can take him!
He took care of Darth Maul didn't he?!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Yeah, you have a point there Les.... I think Obi would handle his own. Poor Jason would only get him if he got really really really lucky.


Ok guys... I know it's late... but I finally repainted my Mace Windu.... So here he is... I hope you all like him.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Damn son! That's good work! :chew

Criticism...MINOR one...look good at Samuel L Jackson's eyes. I notice he has a sort of ruddy quality to his eyes, not quite bloodshot, but with some noticable redness in the corners. Makes him look angrier too. But he has this. All the time.
Don't have any pics on hand, but look good and note this small detail. I do like the brightness of your painted whites though, so try not to lose that. Just add a light wash of clear gloss mixed with a small amount of red mixed with a bit brown, or with some Burnt Sienna, and let it pool more in the corners.
(be careful not to make him look like he's crying....SLJ doesn't cry! You hear me MOFOS! )

Otherwise, EXCELLEMENTO! Perfectimundo!
Great skin tones! Hey, are those finger blends I see!

BTW, NOT a criticism of the sculpt, but...has anyone noticed how Mace looks a bit like Yul Brenner? in his facial expression?

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks Les!! I was wondering how I could achieve that look! He always has those "Mega Pissed" slightly bloodshot eyes... I'll have to try that out and see if it works. Maybe I'll do the same to Jason as well.... probably work wonders.

And yeah, he DOES look like Yul Brenner!!!

"WELCOME TO WESTWORLD...."

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks Chase... yeah, old Mace is not getting as much love as my prior efforts, but I can't complain. I really like him a lot.... and after going with that fix that Les gave me... I know I can make him even better.

And I love the Kurgan's!!!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

I have a fever... and the only cure is more Kurgan!!!

But seriously, amazing work as always! Hopefully you're drumming up lots of business, and I have a feeling a lot of Aragorns coats will be coming your way!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

I'm very happy... finally my workload has begun to lighten... I know I've been kinda quiet as of late. But my Halloween costume work is finished and I am starting on commissions as we speak as well as my own stuff...

Just got my Myers figure and am gonna resculpt his mask to get a more accurate Halloween look. When I get that finished I am gonna repaint the head to make it look better as well, with a proper flesh tone covered with white. I'm really excited to do this and hopefully it will work out well. If it does, I intend on getting a second Myers and making a custom H2 Myers as well. Blonde up the hair a little and dirty the mask a little... should be cool to achieve.

Anyway... expect more stuff soon guys!!!:chew

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

I'd really like to see that MM head when you finish it Josh.

Kudos! Well done!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks guys.... Yeah, I loved Mace... He was a lot of fun to paint and personally one of my favorites ever.

Today I am going to share with you one of my personal failures... IMO... of Qui-Gon. I think he may need to be redone eventually, just came out a little too red and narrow eyed... but here's pics... I must also warn you that the hands were not touched up yet, so expect a huge difference.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

I think certain parts of him are real good, especially the beard and hair. But I agree the redness and eyes are a bit off

Yeah, it's sad... but sooo true. I have to get the skin tone fixed, as well as the funky eyes... My brushes are crap right now, all my fine tips are ruined. I need to get more ASAP before I can do any detail work. Those eyes were very difficult with those brushes...

I'm pretty hard on my brushes too.

As I expected, it's not nearly as bad as you made it out to be. The hair, which you said was giving you trouble, looks great. And now that i see your eyes, I remember what a pain they were to paint. Small eyes are so difficult (that's why Watto was such a pleasure, big firiggin orbs!)

Thanks for sharing it, even if you aren't proud of it. Can;t wait to see it again when you feel ready to boast.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Yeah, I have to say the skin tone is off and I think he looks sleepy. But I have no doubt that you can fix him, and since I have zero talent of my own he is still better than I could have done. Cant wait to see how you re-repaint him. I guess everyone has an off paint app. once in awhile.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

DarkArtist,not trying to take away from anyone else,but I personally prefer your style.Keep up the excellent work!!

 

[DarkArtist81]

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the comments and for letting me show my failures as openly as my success's I hope that he can be salvaged and I can show him again with pride.

I think things will be much better when I get some new brushes...

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Yes, other than his Tatoonie sunburn and squinty eyes because of the bright suns, he looks great. The beard and hair are very nice. Just a bit too pink and looking like his needs to put his glasses on. Either way, it is lightyears beyond what I can do so I have no right to nit pick, only respectful criticism.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Qui Gon doesnt look too bad a little red maybe but the beard ect look great.His eyes do look small but its not so bad.
