Kuato's Paintwork and Sculpture Update 2/7/17

[kicked in]

Re: Kuato's Paintwork and Customs

I did a quick photoshop edit, trying out the eyes at an angle. It's a subtle change, but I think it gives more life to it.

I also brought down the lipstick on the upper lip ever so slightly and added a pinch more smudge on the lower lip. I watched the movie again on IMAX today and his lipstick was consistently minimal on the upper lip and messy/smudged on the lower lip--even on the "clean" paint schemes.

You may also want to consider a dark dry-brush to give the face paint a more inconsistent look.

Everything else looks superb to me!

Re: Kuato's Paintwork and Customs

You've figured out what was off Kicked in!! Eye makeup is easy fix though, especially if i'm copying what you guys are sending me, the eye makeup was my own little preference, and I just have to remember the upper lip deal hehe, Oh and I'm sure you'd see more inconsitency in the makeup if the flash didn't drown it out so much, that just means i need to make it more noticeable . I'm already doing a repaint, I'll try and have pics up tomorrow you guys, I"m gonna do a different eye look as well, I'll do upper to the left this time.

Re: Kuato's Paintwork and Customs

I experimented a lot with the Movie Maniacs and Hot Toys heads and that's how I found those little details to be effective. With those little tweaks you should be golden.

Chris,

Any new images of the Joker you can share? I still haven't sent you how I want mine painted ... just looking for the perfect "that's it!" image. Is the picture in Chris Howe's signature any different than the ones we've seen? The eyes on that one look like the black covers a tad more area around the eyes. Could just be me seeing this since it's not a real big image. That one looks pretty wicked and I'd like to see close ups if there are any available.

Thanks for the great work!

Keith
