Custom Mini Deathra

Sparkle vinyl, subtle spray, and more spots.

I wanted to keep plenty of the sparkle, so I began with a soft, transparent green spray.

As I was painting, I realized just how little texture the sculpt has. Since all the surfaces are so smooth, I decided to go with the spots to add a little detail.

Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

 

Good call adding the spots. And I like that you didn't go all out and do it all over the body. I think you did a great job and keeping the sparkle really helps the whole figure stand out. Well done sir.

 

nice one...!!!

 

very cool man... the zag was great too.. keep up the good work.

 

The colors are great, and the dots are both a cool idea and really, really clean. You have a really great eye for design, and some serious brush skills to back it up It reminds me of a 60's comic monster with Kirby Dots all around it

 

I like the spray and the sparkle that shines thru - but not into the black dots, despite the Kirbyesqueness of them. The white dots seem to work better IMO. Still way better than I could do I'm sure.

 

When I decided to commit to the dots, I knew they'd be kind of polarizing. They're pretty stark - I didn't think they'd be for everyone. I take it as a huge compliment that some people see a "Kirbyesqueness" to this guy (even if they aren't feeling it).

Every custom I paint gets placed alongside my other toys before I call it "done." I like to determine if a custom "deserves" a spot in my collection before I'm finished with it. It's tough to find the balance between unique and out-of-place and, for me, this step helps get me closer to it.

Thanks for taking the time to post the comments. I'm always trying to improve and your feedback is appreciated.

 

this piece is so killer. ever think about doing a companion out of one of the LB clear deathras? i want that

 

Very cool, excellent work.

 

definitely nice work man, i love how the yellow dots have a white dot in the center, really makes them look like theyre glowing, great effect
