Anakin(Shaw) Bust--- show-off

[Darthmagpie]

I am definetally behind on finished project show-offs but I got a lot of great painting tips from you guys so I wanted to show this off right away(thanks again)

This bust was in rough shape when I got it, so I am really happy with the clean up. I used quick-plastik, which I fell in love with.

This is my FIRST time using my paint brush for anything other than total- even coverage(my Jango Helmet). Blending, feathering, multi-color effects are new to me. I added a little bit more pink/red tones than in ROTJ to better blend it with ROTS. I am really happy with the result.

Thanks Wackychimp!

I am now cutting apart a Rubies for the mask. It looks like it will work well.
Thanks for looking, Ben

Thanks Darth Kahnt. After a 100 views and no replies I was really starting to think I am the only one who likes it.

That looks great. :cool I like the skin colouring around the eyes - blends nicely. Are the eyes glass?

 

[Darthmagpie]

Yup, glass eyes. The pics hardly do them justice.

 

[PHArchivist]

Nicely done. Where did you get the eyes?

Very cool
