Or allow for the fact that the coneheads weren't orignally coneheads. I do like how the colourschemes have translated. Nice job.
So you're saying to just go with their color scheme and don't worry about adding any mold differences? Sounds good to me.
Totally. Before Floro Dery got hold of them, they were just normal Seekers; the only differences were the wings and weapons; the bodies (including the heads) were the same mould as Screamer and co. Just look at their packaging/Tech Spec art.
Really? I didn't know that. To be honest, I always thought having their heads as cones was pretty ridiculous, so knowing that, I'm quite pleased.
I like to be edjumacashunal. As an example, here's Dirge's page on TFU; check out the Tech Spec art at the bottom. I agree, though, I always thought the coneheads looked ridiculous, and even more so when you tried to do it with the toy. I've always been one to reference toys before the cartoon anyway.
A good photo editing software, like GIMP or Photoshop, a selection tool, hue/saturation, color balance, and patience.
And remembering to make use of the layers. They're an extremely handy tool; you can use a Colour layer to change the hue while keeping the tones underneath the same, you can use Multiply and Screen layers to respectively darken and lighten the colours. Play with layer options and opacities a lot.
Thrust/Dirge/Ramjet/Acid Storm/Sunstorm are coming soon. Hopefully... I might make use of the new images of the figure.
