Hey! first time using this forum, been floating around for a while now, the customs that come through here are amazing! so i thought maybe you guys would like to see a couple of mine. This is the newest incarnation of razorback, where the previous two were from the movieverse, this one is his representation in the classicsverse, they share similar features, such as the hood chest, door wings, spoiler and tentaclely graphic, but not the same aesthetic, no lanky mish mash of parts here, just some nice chunky car robit! Classics razorback was created from a silver alternity convoy figure with the head of a rotf sideswipe head, and alternity megatrons seats/blades hands and katanas. he was painted in games workshops citadel paints and the car mode and related parts were given a glossy finish. i tried a little fiction too..; He is a low ranking captain of a small team of decepticon carformers, he is particularly brutal and prefers smashing things in order to get his point across, he has a strategic mind when anger hasnt the better of him, and has seen many successful raids against decepticon opposition. Almost more of a curse than a gift, he has massive regenerative and growth capabilities, able to heal near fatal wounds in record time, and form a vast arsenal of weaponry, his preference falling with black heart, a pair of intense monocular katanas, and the spark crusher, a huge curved blade of composite metal. away from warfare though, this ability causes him to constantly have to shed parts of himself to maintain his very frame, an often problematic and painful routine, though his teammates know exactly where to look for a new part, or flashy weapon...
Really liking this! The head is spot on, and the shading on the purple and racing details is nice. It's applied very neatly, but the paint application seems a little thick. Maybe try in thinner layer?
I think the idea is good and the color choices and modifications are great,but the execution of the paint applications itself looks a little dodgy.
I appreciate the feedback, I think the varnish is where I went wrong, I did thin it, but maybe not enough, I don't have much experience with them, and it was a brush applied one, was hoping it wouldn't be as noticeable with the gloss, oops well either way, I'm still loving him!
really cool agree on the paint, what paint u use... it really helps if you use a paint that flows good.... and obviously having a good quality brush
