4th, and still needs a few touch-ups...

3rd and finished (except for gloss)

The Hedorah was my favorite and made me feel like it is possible for me to airbrush toys... It was the second toy I've airbrushed (successfully)...

There are better colors in the back, but without lightroom, or photoshop, it's impossible for me to show them..

I'm still unsure if I should gloss coat these guys... Future maybe?

I really like the crouching deathra. Almost looks like the body is glowing in the first pic - clear vinyl?

I think the teeth could be a bit cleaner on the mini zag. Also, something throws me off about the eye - maybe outline the eye because yellow and white are close?

It's hard to clearly see the Hedo, especially the back. Maybe a little more fade around the "face"?

I don't paint myself, so I'm not exactly an expert or anything, so hopefully others will chime in.

Thanks for the input, The Zag and Deathra aren't exactly finished, I think what might be "throwing you off" is the yellow is still a little faded around his eyes... If anyone has an answer on how you guys do finishing touches... For instance, I've read Mark Nagata write that he uses v-color, to finish eyes. I'm using MK, and to thin it enough to brush on I have to use laquer thinner, which also wipes clean the paint I've already airbrushed... I have a ton of acrylics, but I like the smooth finish and have had a hard time blending into it with a brush...

The Deathra was clear vinyl, sprayed with c-through pink, and faded into purple....
