wow I just looked thru your whole thread and you have some amazing customs. I trying to teach myself how to do it. You have definitely given me some inspiration.

Keep on keepin on

9"x6"



Thanks Matt. The bird is a wip. Not yet sure what will become of it.

This little guy came back from a show...if anyone wants him, hit me up.

I haven't posted anything on here since July. It's all on flickr.

Just some stuff that I did recently







all are roughly 9"x6" on watercolor paper. Dempagon has some metallic ink but I'm really enjoying the techniques I used with the Otoroshi and Globby.

Oh yeah...I painted a toy too. I think this will go in the S7 show on 29/01

awesome art!

I LOVE that Dempagon painting !

The Dempa painting has a nice silvery wash to match the toy. You can have the painting...you just have to buy the toy

I've been trying a different technique with the last couple of drawings I did (the Otoroshi and the Globby to be exact). I kinda like it. It's a mix of 3-4 different mediums and I think it will work much better with a smoother paper rather than the textured watercolor paper that I usually use. I really like the way "Globby Wants Taiyaki" came out. I guess experimenting at 3am turned out to be a good thing after all.

Thats like how they sell mix cds- the cd is free but you have to pay for the case lol

And yeah that sounds about right, 3 AM is about the butter zone for creative ideas. When I was out of work that was the best time for me. Boy do I miss that !

I'm a bit partial to this one

Beautiful work Bert!

Looking good, Bert. Argus came out really nice.

I hope I remember to send it out in time.

Great stuff Bert! I love your details and colors, and, well, everything! I especially really like your mini Hedos. I do like the sculpt, but never felt that "need" or "want" to buy it... But seeing your custom versions of the Hedos makes me really want to get one! I hope to be able to get one of your customs at some point. Just need to get a steady cash flow first :p lol...

who guards my cube at work...

where are you working now?

a few exits north of you...the old place

Wow, that Bako got a SERIOUS make-over & looks absolutely awesome now

gonna repaint the guts when I get my airbrush fixed

Been a long time since I painted RxH...plus I had the test the airbush after replacing some parts

amazing piece bert!

Seriously awesome, Bert. Great colors balanced over the whole figure. The silver bits work really well to punch up the areas you colored. Nicely done.

I like this dempa a lot bert, especially the arms/legs.. although I would have sprayed tighter on the protuberance on the head.



Bako looks good, but I think you need to photograph it in a different way, because the lighting/color balance is too close the colors you used and it looks a little washed out as a result. But i looks like a classic gargamel spray.



I like everything about this Argus but the blue eyes. I especially like the gradation on the hands and feet, but I would have gone with a milky white or pink eyes/finger eyes.



This guy is wicked. I like the red skull face, and the use of reds/oranges/yellows instead of the more watery blues and greens is nice... I don't think I would have tried that.



Adult RxH Chaos is a little busy for my tastes (like on the bulbous prt of his head and shoulder) but thats a thing with RxH that I've never been into. I would tighten up the gold on the knees to match with the belt buckle. Love the silver though. My only other thought is it needs a bigger bandana.
