Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

Ironman1138 - Quite possible.... as a lot of those characters he looks virtually identical as anyway, so it would just be a case of a standard arnie head... and build the custom of your choice. But for any where he looks different, and I think it would be popular? Quite likely

Paulcarson - at the moment.... I'm not

Les - "dowel rods of death" i love it, that had me giggling so much here. Good idea about displaying all the reworks I've done though.... cast myself a spare of each one paint it up and have it on a stick. Something for me to think about

abstract - I'm working on it..... lmao

Hey have you thought about doing Mace's head?? Make it look closer to Samuel L. Jackson?

I thought about it, but the thing that put me off was that I think the stuff I'd change would be the eyes.... something about the width apart. And I don't think I'm brave enough to attempt to resculpt eyes. Not with the amount of other things I have to be done... maybe if I had nothing else to do

Anyway..... the next 2 Anakins are pretty much finished now, just got to seal and flat-coat them, and paint on the gloss eyes. Next up is an Obi-Wan paintjob, and I'm about to go mold Legolas now (takes 48 hours annoyingly for a two part mold.... grrrrr, I want to paint this thing NOW) ...and not forgetting the other 6 million things I've got to fit in somehow, lol

sometimes I get so used to seeing my repaints, I start to think this is how it came... and i have to go back and remind myself of just how much work I did. I like to do that sometimes.... go back and look at something you've done. Makes you appreciate the work you did on a piece, and gears you up to get on with something else

He looks great Darren!

Here are the updated pics of Joshs paint of your Ghost Anakin sculpt you did for me.

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

well it's taken me five 1/6 scale head repaints to get here, but I'm finally happy with my eyes now... yay! (enough that I can show them blown up this big, lol)

My favorite is the subtle coloring under the eyes... Looks like he is tired as hell.

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

Ahem! But enough strolling down memory lane...Legolas, Legolas, Legolas. How's Legolas coming, Darren?

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

funny you should ask. I've been working on it all today. Painting my first test cast (for my own figure) along with two other Obi-Wans. It's looking ok so far, hopefully I'll be able to get it finished tomorrow or the day after

 

[Reinhardt]

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

can't wait to see it!!!

 

[Darren Carnall]

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

ok well I wasn't going to show it until it was completed but seeing you asked, I just snapped these 2 off quickly. And remember.... it's only halfway through!!

 

[Darthrazz]

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!




That's insane!


Can't wait to see it actually finished. It looks like you have made many corrections to it.

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

Is he looking sideways? I don't know I kind of like the straight ahead look. But other than that that is a 100% improvement!! If that head was on the original I would have bought it!!!!!!!!! Are you going to make them available????
