    Re: D-LuX Customs - Updated 5/27/11

    Well when I saw there was color change, I knew many people would try to use it, so I tried to do around 100 pieces that used it heavily... In that way "owning" the finish... Sometimes people use it here and there, but I still feel when people see it used heavily they think of my pieces. I'm actually using it much less, or only in certain places from now on unless requested.

    As for eyes, and handpainted parts. I use acrylic paint. MK, V-Color, or any solvent based paint just doesnt work...

    So are there any Leroys left in the wild not covered in color change flake? The glitter coat is certainly a dramatic effect, but your S7 customs have started to feel kinda redundant.... you've knocked out pretty much every one-note simple spray combo those toys could possibly receive.

    I like some sparkle glossy added in with the unpainted and matte finishes - makes the collection outstanding

    I do what I do, and use certain techniques because myself, my fans and collectors like it. I'm actually moving into a new direction for me, and easing up on the color change. I personally like it, but I understand it's not everyones cup of tea

    Hey Dan, my girlfriend commissioned this piece as a Christmas present and I never got to take a solid photo until just recently. Definitely my favorite Garuru!

    hope you don't mind me posting it.

    Ok. D, I can totally get behind this one. Both the Zags are nice, but this guy is Rad. Glad to see you changing it up a bit!
