MM Joker: Custome facepaint

[Benstamania]

I've been really, REALLY trying to get the "make up" look with this figure, it's been a true test to get it. I didn't want the paint to look smooth and fresh, I wanted it to look like old, worn makeup. Like it's been caked on his face for days....but I didn't want to do the "runny just beat up" look.

It took a while but I think I pulled it off.

His original paint application (as we all know) left a lot to be desired, not to mention that it had a "Y" cut in his mouth. I posted my work in progress a few months back in the action figure forum and the reception was good, only that I went up above the brows and down below the cheeks to far with the black. After thinking about it I too began to notice that it was very "meh" looking. I enjoy "repainting" figures and after my last task (completely repainting movie Megs) my first paint job was unacceptable. I also repainted his hair, it was originally dull dark green. I threw some light brown on top of that and then painted over it with a light green and a neon green.

I went to work, I must have painted, let set, stripped and painted again at least 20+ times before I got the look I wanted.

Anyway, here he is. I'm happy with the new paint application...enough so that I can finally set him up on my Bat-Shelf as a finished product.

i actually like the paint job on the MM figure just fine...yes the paint isn't exactly like we see it in the trailers, but it's still better than anything else out there

I hated it, obviously.

I like it allot! It really invokes the dirty feeling of Jokers smeared make up.
