    My first attempt at the cell shaded style of painting...I'm just going with what comes to mind as I don't entirely know 'how' to do this, lol.

    Thanks for looking.

    UPDATE: More work done but still a little left to do...

    Unbelievable amount of talent showcased here! Are you masking and airbrushing or is this just with brushes?

    Awesome work so far, SON!! If you need some inspiration, Devastation is a good source for a cell-shaded Megs. Can't wait to see this guy finished :thumb

    Keep going, you're doing good. I like how the paint seems to have improved CW Leader Megs face sculpt too.

    DanG! that's awesome! Are you going to be using one of the upgrade kits for the lower legs with the figure as well?

    Thanks guys, I do appreciate your feedback.

    I was going to use masking tape but man, it would've been a real long pain in the a$$ so I just free handed with brushes. I did prime the figure first though with an airbrush.

    Awesome feedback guys, thank you!

    I wish I had one but I don't man. I may end up getting one down the road though...still considering it.

    Thanks guys, I wish I was the originator of this paint style but all the credit goes to guys like FrogDNA, LEK and Stormbringer85.

    It seriously looks like you are holding up a 2D print on a piece of paper...that is how well done this is.

    Excellent work here.
