I really dig this guy. It seems like a different direction than some of your other paints. the detail is good. I like how the painting is restrained. Its not just a splotch of color around a detail of the sculpt that suggests an accent of the detail. It actually enhances and elaborates on the detail! what are you using for the oulines on the head spots and arm spots? airbrush?

I'm honored !
Looks great kirkland. I really like how you do the detail around things. Like the circles on the arm. That I think you should focus on.

I noticed on the blog that Campus Edition PopSoda is sold out. How's that feel?
Time for a new "production" custom? you should buy a bunch of solid label min-Chaos and do them like your current avatar. I'd buy one.
also, you have a PM about a thing.

Really very nice. This is a whole new way of painting a Mutant Head. I like the strong lines on everything. It looks really different, but really good!

the whole popsoda project was great. indeed a learning experience. couldn't have done it without Josh, S7, KT, Popsoda...
we have three other collaborations planned for this year so far. you guys are gonna flip. One of them is here and ready for paint and "stuff". Will be starting an email list for anyone that is interested.
mini blue chaos custom is in the works, but not for re-sale....

btw, thanks LASH for the tips. I've done what you suggested and still need a few more clear coats, but it defintely looks flattened out a bit more....

Nice work man, I've got a Mantis in similar colors. Must be Synchronicity or something.
