OK Guys so here he is all finished up, well I think so. So I'm asking your opinions if there is more to do or not.

very nice love it how did you do the texture on him

 

After I perfect it I'm going to be making a tutorial video on the technique and post it on my website. Its a new technique I created using rub n buff.

 

any chance you can pm me a preview of the techknique i would really love to use it for a demolisher iv got an idea for it would look great on him im really impreased by it

 

Yeah,that kind of look would be awesome for the Constructicons.

 

Ass kicking good!

 

Wow impressive. How did you do the rusted texture? I like the scratch built weapons made from leader prime.

 

WOW, that makes me wanna actually try to do some custom bots myself! AMAZING work!

 

I think you may have perfected it already  

Incredible custom!

 

I'd love to see how you did the sword! I know the blade is from ROTF leader prime right?

 

Personally I would go with some silver accents to it...

 

When you do, certainly feel free to submit it to be resourced for our Tuturials  

I think I would agree as well, as some light silver weathering would contrast nicely with the rustic reds and blues on this one.

Great job  

 

... Okay, this LOOKS GOOD. It really does...

But what's the point...? Does OP get rusted in the game?

And if he doesn't, my questions still stands... Why do a rusted job on Transformers, Prime no less...?

But it's a good looking job from the artistic standpoint, I have to agree.

Just... yeah... It's weird.

 

ahhh.Cosmic Rust Prime

 

I think I can see where you're coming from, but one of the things making a custom allows an artist to do is use ye old imagination. This kind of "weird" is what many here consider "cool". I think the best answer to your question may be, "because the artist wanted to, and could."  

 

Because it's enjoyable to create something to call your own.
Besides, Transformers are robot warriors millions of years old...seems only too obvious to me to do custom Transformers that at some point don't look as good as they day they were made.
Game ? accuracy ?...nope, not when customs come into play, sky is the limit.
Forget what you know and ask yourself.......why not ?

 

Cosmic rust!!!

 

Cosmic Rust FTW.
Awesome job. As other's have suggested, I think it would be a good idea to break up some of the rust with some silver or grey highlights.

 

I like the effect and color, but it seems a little much. I think some randomness of the effect would work great.
