Pretty straightforward; trans green and flat black sprays, gold and silver details. I used some little O-rings to add to the gloves and boots.

Hope you guys like it and thanks for looking. :D

Thanks, man. 8)

I find that when you start out with sculpts as awesome as some of these, sometimes subtlety is the way to go. The silver-sparkle vinyl on this one was so beautiful on it's own, I felt that it would be a shame to cover it up too much.

I feel like I learn something with each toy I paint. Lately I've been trying to understand how to balance my colors over the entire figure and how to work with the base color of the vinyl.

I have been coming back to this thread. I really like this sculpt and I'm amazed it never really caught on.

The paint app is awesome, super clean. But next time I think the lines on the center could be a tad thinner. As is I think the thickness of them against the small size of the figure is a tad overpowering ( but this is a minor critique that is a opinion not a deal breaker) . As well just a tad of a third contrast color would have pulled this together just a tad bit more. Like if you painted the eyes, tips of hands and feet and the center text metallic red.

Great stuff though keep it up :)

Thanks for taking the time to post a thoughtful critique, Rich. I really appreciate it.

Solid advice and personal opinions from great artists, like yourself, are really valuable and hard to come by.

Like I said before, I'm learning with each toy I paint. I get what you're saying and we'll see what I can come up with on the next one. :D
