The SITH ANAKIN PICTURE Thread

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks Mark... Yeah, I know how it feels to have limited space. Thank God I don't have to box anything up yet, though... I'd be sad as Hell knowing my stuff was "tucked away"

Ok, finished Anakin again..... and this morning my room had plenty of sun..

Josh that is amazing! Love the burn marks. Now you gotta do Mustafar Obi! And you need another anakin for the immolation scene to make him "extra crispy!"

 

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks Dave!! Yeah, I plan on getting a second Obi-Wan to mar up and use in the duel.... Can't wait to try that out.

An Anakin Immolation figure would be interesting to achieve, but man... I can only imagine the amount of sculpey needed to get that look down!!

lol!!! we demand more,more,more!!! keep them coming. nice detaling on the burn marks. are you gonna get some ash to smear on him???

 

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks guys.... I also recommend, if anyone hated the way Anakin's tabbards bunch up in the front and want to fix that.... I took the stitching off of the front, the area that connects the tabbards to the belt... and it looks ten times better. You have so much more play to get the costume just right.

It's an easy fix too, won't ruin anything on the clothing.

You could repaint the head from the Hasbro Vader to make your Immolation Anakin. You'd have to take off the legs and the left arm though.

Nice work Josh, again, looks great in these shots and I love the battle damaged outfit!

I'm actually hoping to have my Sith Ani finished by Les sometime in October, but geez, you are really coming along, eyes look great!

ps PM's sent re another matter.

 

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks Paul, I appreciate your support as always.... The eyes are really nice in person... I had to nail that part of it or it would not work, so it took a lot of tweaking to get right. I also went for that "red-rimmed" eye approach, to give him that look like he had not slept for weeks.

Got the PM's as well.... thanks for going up to bat for me on that.

This pic is just brilliant!

 

[pjam]

Agreed Nash! Congrats seth, that shot is indeed amazing!

This is the best I could come up with my Les Walker repaint Sith Ani...

 

[screamingmetal]

Great pics Seth Gecko! I think I can see from your photos that your Sith Anakin tunic is dark brown instead of black, mine is like that. The last few batches are probably all like that.

Those are edwints pics not mine. (i just like em so much i had to post em)

I just purchased two 12" DID stands $7.49 ea. at Unitoyzone.com.

Is that about the going price for these?

Anbody else use this online retailer?

I couldn't help myself they do look really !!

I finally got around to unstiching the leather surcoat from the belt - dropping the belt on Anakin makes a world of difference. Part of the inspiration was watching ROTS again - the odd thing is that Obi Wan's is screen accurate whereas Anakin is not - and it makes anakin look broader than I feel he should.

 

[EVILFACE]

How about some pics? I've thought about doing that.

I actually did that for the Anakin shots at the top of this page.... It does indeed help a lot. And it's Hella easy.

 

[Darren Carnall]

I did the same, it makes the figure look so much more 'human' shaped, and much more like hayden's body and clothing looks in the film. What i did though was to unstitch the belt at the back, so when I pulled the belt down at the front the whole leather tabbards moved down with it. Obviously the negative side to that is that at the back they move up, but as I never planned to have the back showing anyway I figured that was fine.

Now that I'm doing a better head I may figure out a better way to havr them level, but this will involve lots of cutting and stitching.

Here's how it looked on my previous Anakin attempt, although the belt and tabbards ended up quite lower than this, which looked even better

 

[DarkArtist81]

Very nice.... AND a great improvement. It can be challenging dressing him... but worth it for a more realistic look.
