Howard's Predator Bust Paint up Albino Style (PIC Heavy)

[syborwolf]

I decided to paint this up as an Albino Predator.
It is pretty much finished except for the dreadlock beads, which I cannot decide on the color. I'm thinking a Pewter color.
This thing is very hard to get good pics of, some are with flash and some without. I think I need a better camera!
Hope you like, Joe

Thats one freaky albino. "Its me- Milky."
Excellent work with the paints, I think the albino pred is the last one I'd want hunting me.

Just flash some bright lights ino its eyes, and you'll be safe.


Seriously though, this is an AMAZING paint job, and a very cool concept! How about fashioning the dreadlock beads to look like vertebrae? It would add an additional cool factor to an already awesome bust, and the bone color would match perfectly with the rest of the color scheme.

Awesome looking piece. Where did you get those dreads?

 

[Trilogy]

An interesting concept and nicely executed.

That is beautifully repugnant and gorgeously disgusting and cool creepy. :cool

Very interesting take on the Pred. What drove the decision to go albino?

With his colouring, perhaps brassy or pale gold beads?

Thank you for the nice comments guys!
I had alot of fun painting and building this up, my hat goes off to Howard, as it really is a great sculpt.
The dreads I got from a member of the Hunters Lair, they are the best dreads I have worked with. He doesn't make the white dreads anymore though, only black now.
I decided to go with an Albino paint scheme just to do something different. There have been a few Albino Predators that artists have done throughout the years and I just wanted to try my hand at one. Overall I am happy with how it turned out. I wanted people to get that kind of scary-freaky, creepy feeling when they first look at it, and judging by some of the comments here and on the other 2 boards I posted it on, I guess I did.
If you guys are into Predators or just want to see some awesome talent and great imagination cruise on over to The Hunters Lair. The members over there have rekindled my passion for Predators and without them I probably would have never got around to painting this bust.
