This is great man! I could really see this go into production, and on my shelf.

Very Cool Joe! It's tough to decide between this and pickleloafs bizarro Zag for me.

Thanks again for all the comments.
For the two Zags I painted, I tried to keep Gargamel in mind.
I tried to keep with what they would put out as a production piece.
I mixed in a little something of my own.

For the first Zag I went with a classic paint application.
Had some colors I wanted to try and went with it.
I did first give the Zag a layer of Silver so I could accent the scales.

As for this Zag, I had a concept I wanted to try.
I coated the inside with white so the Clear vinyl would somewhat look like the scales of a Koi.
I did that almost a month ago and was too scared to do the Red & Black pattern.
I'm not too good with randomness and felt like I'd mess it up.
But since Zags were due today, I said screw it, I'm going to just try it out.
All in all, I liked how he turned out.

I think we all like how it turned out, Joe! I'm seriously hoping this is the one. I've already got a place all picked out on my shelf for him! As for coating the inside, that's a great way to achieve a solid base and an astounding effect. Gimmie!

I'm really starting to like how these clear guys look when coated on the inside.
Nice job.

AWESOME work Joe!!! I really want a GID one of these for sure!!!!!

i really think this is the winner here, but with 45 entries, we can't really say just yet. i'll just be happy if they look at mine and don't laugh
