Re: GDB's Godless Creations

Hey all, finished the move Mon. and I've restarted the painting efforts Tues. Man, when you're moving it's all like one long day. I still must be recovering because I can't believe it's now Thursday!

Glad to hear it went smoothly Brent! Moves are NEVER fun.

Re: GDB's Godless Creations

Thanks, yeah, this move especially was like a cross between a leg of The Amazing Race and a task on Celebrity Apprentice.

Re: GDB's Godless Creations

So I guess it wasn't too smooth after all...? Glad to hear it's OVER WITH then.

Re: GDB's Godless Creations

Yeah, me too!

Re: GDB's Godless Creations

Here's another Wikus I completed before the move but never got around to posting. I really love working on the alien eyes. I wish it was appropriate to paint them on more sculpts.

Amazing repaints, very lifelike.

Re: GDB's Godless Creations

Here are a pair of Doc Browns I painted recently. The casting (or perhaps recasting) of the eyes on one of them is just an unfriendly, uneven surface. I did my best on the pupils but I think I really found success with the whites.

Here's Marty.

And the set. There is a surprising amount of character in these sculpts once painted.

Re: GDB's Godless Creations

And here's Captain Tight Pants!

I painted him up a week ago and he sat on my work table and I thought, there's something missing. I would look at him from time to time and he was just refusing to be interesting. He just sat there. Except his hair. His hair was being interesting. So I scratched my head for a couple days and at the end of it decided to dust off the old pastels (literally) and see what all the fuss is about. I'm pretty happy with the results.

The above pictures were before I finalized the eyes.

Almost all of these guys are a challenge and a half to photograph but there's something about the skin tone of this guy and the subtlety of Trevor's sculpt that the digital camera just doesn't want to capture accurately.

Re: GDB's Godless Creations

Can't wait to get him Brent! Phenomenal job!

Re: GDB's Godless Creations

Thanks for that! I will mail him out Monday!

Re: GDB's Godless Creations

He ain't got time to bleed.

The camo was tricky because it's so light and faint but once I got a handle on it, it was really fun.

Re: GDB's Godless Creations

I can't say that my lack of photography skills do any sort of justice to GDB's paints... at all. But here's the Mal he painted up for me in context. Needless to say, I'm VERY happy with the results. :chew

Thanks Brent!!!

Re: GDB's Godless Creations

Thank you so much for posting that, Ryan! That outfit you got him is so kick ass! It was my pleasure to work on this wonderful sculpt for you.

And I love how you've got his body language saying the same thing I painted his eyes to say!

Re: GDB's Godless Creations

lol, it totally fits. There's a lot of subtlety to the sculpt that your paint brought out.

Over the weekend I might try to get a few daylight shots. These 'in the basement at midnight' photo shoots aren't doing anyone any justice.

Re: GDB's Godless Creations

Re: GDB's Godless Creations

You should be getting him very soon. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to paint him. I'm looking forward to seeing him all built up.
