Update on my custom paint app for MM Joker

[Benstamania]

I've been really, REALLY trying to get the "make up" look with this figure. His original paint application 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 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.

Not bad. It's a huge improvement over your first paint app.

 

[Benstamania]

Thanks.

I notice that some how...a form of glitter got on his jacket there....Odd.

Joker was picking out a birthday card for his mom, and one of them had glitter on it.

That's how it usually happens to me.

 

[Benstamania]

lol.

Probably.

The more I look at it the more I think I may have went a tiny bit to wide on the one side of his face their with the red paint. Maybe it's just me and I'm being overly picky on my work but...hmmm.

I like yours better than the packaged one.

 

[spideyboy_1111]

yeah its much better then the packaged. but i just wish his hair sculpt was different.

 

[Benstamania]

Yeah, I don't mind the hair sculpt....but it needs some work. It makes customizing a jail cell Joker a lot harder.

guy over at fwoosh did a bit more when it comes to it

he actually made extra poseable strands of hair which really really help the sculpt and looks
and i like how he has the skin showing through on the wrinkles like he looks in several shots
not trying to over shaddow yours VR,but i thought id just post it
