Incredible Repaint Artist....

[amarcord]

He reminds me of these repaints.
Never knew who painted them, but the eyes reminded me of the Tonner artist.
These are all 1/6.

Honestly if I saw some of those shots and didn't know otherwise I'd think they'd be like model glamour shots or something of a real person.

Like this one on the left:

 

[Darren Carnall]

that's it I give up painting.... I can't compete with those eyes

damn those are good

Yes they are! But this kind of thing only makes me more stoked to do even better work than I am doing now!
I see this and go...LET'S GO!

I can do that! Or at least try!
I'm sure it's all in the wrist.
And in some SERIOUS magnification...
Jewelers glasses, here I come!

It can be done!

Eyes, and the techniques for painting them, belongs to everyone. This dude (or dudes, or dudettes) don't have a monopoly on skills! WE TOO CAN DO THIS!

 

[amarcord]

Let me know when you can do this

Not want to be rude, but I think only a few can reach this level of quality.
Even when a master would reveal his techniques and/or tricks, even with the best material, this is a serious high level of painting.

Here are a few more.
Enjoy.

When you're right, you're right. But it gives everyone else something to aim for.

This are from Yahoo Japan's auction site, aren't they? Artist calls himself KMIRO?

 

[amarcord]

Howdy Bear,

Sorry, I don't know who painted them.
I wish I knew - would contact that painter immediately.

BTW, not yet tired of that Groooaaaar Charlie figure?

Cool.
And I will always try to improve.
When I saw this kind of work, back when I first got online, I was very intimidated by it. In some ways, I still am. To quote Merlin in Excalibur, "There's always something cleverer than yourself!" so I know it's no easy task, and in some ways, may even be a but futile if you just can't reach it. But, that's no reason not to try.
I for one LOVE seeing this level of work posted. We (the artists here) need it.
We need to be put in our places every now and again.

But, to be honest, what I see when I see work like that, is time. Time, patience, skill, practice, magnification, and expense. Expense to own. IF I could paint that cleanly, and I am aiming for it of course, I know my price would go up. Be ready for that with that level of mastery. That work must be very costly.

But, like Gruff says, that level is something to aim for.
I envy the Asian masters their skills. Their discipline. I always look on with wonder. But, because I do this every day myself, I also can't help but want to be that good. So, I soldier onward. I hope the others do too. We can all be better than we are. In fact, it remains to be seen whether everyone, with the right motivations and time, can't be more the artist than even they believe possible. These kinds of works show me that.



BTW, I want that Chaplin too!

 

[amarcord]

Everyone has his limits.
Nothing more, nothing less.

BTW I thought you did not like the expression of Charlie ?

 

[crasis]

The female repaints all look fabulous, though! The eyes are amazing.

 

[gabberjawa]

Would love to see what this person could do on a SS fig. They need some help on saber-shopping though

True. I like the other head much better, but I am getting desperate these days for a Chaplin figure.
(I think all this Charlie talk means Gruff needs to post pics of him again.... )
