Thanks Matt, these are the only ones I have right now and they're on their way to Roto. Doing another micro run for TAG next month and Velocitron is painting some up for Superfest. Those will be the next available.

 

Daniel- Yeah the rub is a technique I don't use that often, and when I was thinking of doing it here, I was looking at the sprays, thinking these look kind of pretty, Maybe I should just leave them alone, but glad I went for it, I feel it definitely enhanced the frozen effect.

Right matt? Man, that toy is on point. the sculpt, the paint choice, the application. It just makes you want it. one of the best toys ive seen in awhile. feels good to want it.

Joe, These blow me away. Big fan of the sculpt.Your paint apps fit in perfectly. How you did the teeth area is clutch for me :) .  Do you have any others available now to purchase ?

I do think these came out total class. We were just musing the other day about rubs and removal techniques being underused. I think they rock. Its imprtant to me to constantly learn to give up the desire to control everything that goes on during the creative process. You can barely control rubs and layered removals and the results from them are often great experiences with lucky new tricks to learn. If it comes out awesome, you pat chance on the back before you take credit. I let my girlies daughter do a gold/black rub on a mongolion just to see what would happen. 12 yrs old. She killed it perfectly. I am considering using her in the future for her tiny hands and skill.

Thanks guys. Yeah laid down some dark paint under the red at the mouth, so when I rubbed the red off the teeth some dark was still in the crevices to give that decaying tooth look.

wow. those are wicked nice. the colors are subdued and i love the lightly rotten teeth. looks like a swell job, and the design on the head/face brings madballs to mind. and i like that.
