Here's some quick pics of some stuff I've painted since last we met:

My 5 year old niece saw some of my colorscheme mock-ups I had been working on, so she asked to color one. I told her that I would paint a monster however she colored it. This is what she came up with:

This is what I came up with:

As an addition to my Microbrain, I painted a companion figure... I give you "Acro-Wing"

Now for the cephalopod portion of the post:

Image
Ika Gilas - Giant Pacific style

Image
Shadow Trooper Squirm

And my BlobPUS/Secretbase mashup, the almighty Cthulhu!

Image

I just couldn't get into the whole heman body the diablo originally had going on.

What do you think sirs?

The diablo head fits really well on the body and looks pretty cool

Agreed! The Microbrain is great too, an excellent tribute...

The Diablo head actually works better on the SB body in my opinion. The proportions work out well and it looks totally symmetrical. Very cool work.

Thanks! I thought the boxing gloves kinda reminded me of the acroyers "fists" and some of the original acroyers had wings on their heads, so I thought I'd give it a shot.
The Microbrain came first. It worked out nicer then I could've hoped.

thanks. It took a little bit of ingenuity it get it to stay though. The hole in the head is just a little bigger then an SB head, but I just got a rubber O-Ring and fit it around the neck. Worked out fine.

Thanks Lamour! I'm just trying my best. Your stuff is amazing.

Yeah I like it too, it definitely is/was not something I would have come up with- but it has a charm. "Out of the mouths of babes" I guess. =) Initially I was going to do up the pumpkinbrain to look like a maggot or something with the pumpkin looking rotten, but I'm glad I didn't. This one makes me smile.

haha, thanks everyone. I wouldn't mind if the idea was picked up by SB and BlobPUS. So long as I could get 2, one to keep and one to paint. =)

Nice job!! Hey, Hellopike, can you post some of your colorscheme mock ups - before they've been filled in? I'd love to have my daughter try to color in some figs, too!

The niece custom is very cute. It actually came out really nice. When looking back and forth, you can see where some changes were made, but it's all for the better.

Acroyear tributes rule.

The Diablo is simply amazing -- It works so damn well. I wouldn't mind owning one.

heh, maybe. I was thinking of maybe letting her do a KT Solid Bako- then I wouldn't feel bad about letting her play with it. Anyone know anything about the safety/toxicity of V-Color once its dry?

If I've got my way, she have plenty of toys in general. =)

Thanks, I tried to stay true to it- like she originally colored the ribs in pink and orange, then got over excited with blue. I also just painted it all freehand, without masking anything to make it a little less precise?

Kira's pumpkinbrain is one of my favorites too. I even took her "signature" from the original picture and used it to make a headercard. =)

thanks everyone for the nice words.

Thanks for those awesome coloring pics! My daughter is going to be stoked for sure in the morning (she's 4). Did you do these drawings yourself? Please, if you find the time, can you do a ghostfighter and a skull bee :P They are so cool!

Does your daughter like your monster collection (thats what the niece calls mine)? Sometimes she asks me what something is, and I find it hard to explain, so I just tell her its a monster.

Yeah I guess you could say I made the templates. Each started out as a picture though. Then I sort of 'cut them out' in photoshop. I may make others depending on what I am painting, but it takes a few hours each to make one of these. So if/when I do another I'll post it up here so anyone who wants it can use it.
