Heres my paint up of Tyler Durden by Sunhoc. Got the head this morning and could not resist painting it! Great head here you are:
nice job on the painting: the eyes really look blue! the skin texturing looks well done as well, but I think you too the picture a little too close with the flash? that's all :), can't wait to see the full figure!


Rick,
i just said this on OSW but your repaint looks pretty clean. I wonder if the hair/eyes look dark because of lighting? I know some have been painting Tyler with darker hair and others argue that its lighter...
pretty cool custom already
 
I am still waiting to see a knock out paint job!

So far i am pleased i skipped this and stuck with my Rainman version however a killer paintjob could make me regret it i suspect
 
OK here is a nother pic ( no flash )....still working on the shirt and fag...

Thanks for the kind words Daniel, the head was not fully done yet as I still needs to fine tune the skin tone as well as to gives some contrast on the hair though. Eyes on mine wasn't dark but is hard to show without use a flash. Anyway here with a close up for your interest.

Almost finished the shirt, made a fag and the 3 rings... Still have to wait for his jacket and pants to come in the mail...

Here's my buzz hair tyler. Paint not perfect (especially the eyes) but am satisfied with the results. Great headsculpt by sunohc which made it easier to paint.

Wow that looks impressive in that pose. HT Comedian body, right?

Thanks and it is indeed the body from HT Comedian.

Awesome shirt you've made there, may I know what paint you use on the shirt?

That's a real cool eyes paint with your Tyler, should try that on my Buzz hair version later.
 
To be honest I'm not loving the comedian body on Tyler in the slightest. The head atop it is great but that body is two times to big for Tyler and it really shows... Pitt was 155 pounds in Fight Club did not have any hair on his body and did not have the muscle tone of a guy in his 40s...

If anything leonidas may be a slight better option but even then I'd say it might be too big. Gotta keep the shirt on this guy with the option we got now...
 
All right, I think I'm done with my repaint (ha! I always think that and then retouch again and again and again.....LOL!) Anyway, here it is. Hopefully Mr. Hydeous doesn't still think I ruined it, LOL! Opinions and constructive criticism are welcome:

Awesome work man :bow Wish I could give my sculpts bad@ss paintjobs right when I get them instead of waiting months to get them painted by someone of talent :lol
 
SithKnite, nice repaint! That's a mean stare he's got on there!
I'd perhaps recommend if you're gonna do some more work on the eyes, the same thing I told commtech:
"but I'd recommend painting a very thin upper eyelash/shadow (under the eyelid), and a little bit of pink and grey around the white of the eye so the whole eye isn't so white. Normally there is shadow and red hue around people's eyes."

commtech:
that's an improvement for sure! it looks ready to be on a figure now, lets see it :)
 
I made this last night...

Sorry for the crappy pics. I was using my wife's Iphone with no natural light available. I am working on the red pants, and I am going to use modified and repainted Hot Toys Michael Jackson Thriller shoes. Now I just have to get the TTL jacket when it comes out, and I think I will be happy.

I made the fabric myself. I went through a dozen photos of Pitt in the shirt and just pieced it together. Then I printed it out on fabric and sewed my butt off.

I will take some better pics in the daylight. I really need to get some sleep, but I will answer all questions and post better photos later today.
