tanker22 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Got these two just about done but wanted to see if anyone had some imput or something I missed on them. Neo is about 90% I guess, still needs a bit of touch up on the base and a few other minor things like the reflective look on his glasses. Thought this was a really cool idea for a mini with him running along the wall like this in the move. Wyatt is about 70% done. Still needs work on the base and his hat finished. Also will probably do a bit more on his skin as well as his hair, highlighting stuff mainly. Was a bit more challenging to do minis almost entirely in black and still keep the right look but also have different shades of it so things stand out. Decided to do them both together since they are similer in color anyways. Had to put the 200mm on hold to work on these, needed a break from it and was getting painters block anyways Used blue for highlighting Neo's trench and acouple different shades of brown and white for Wyatt given the dusty enviroment. Both these are done in oils as well, I really like how thinned down oils gives you a good wash or galze, used it quit a bit on these two unlike most of my others Wanted to try branching into some other areas to test the water so to speak on sales other than nekkid chicks or fantasy on ebay for a change, still have a few good ones of those coming down the pipe though Thanks for looking and any comments or suggestions Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Good stuff, Chris. I like Neo especially! I might make the weathering on Wyatt a bit stronger, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Architect of Old Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Very nice. I think you did an excellent job especially on the black cloak and suit for Neo. Great pics!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epicenter Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 The work on Neo is just great - the quality of the photography is nice too. Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antnol Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 You really have captured the scene with Neo. Very very well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanker22 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Thanks everyone, had alot of fun painting these guys up even though it doesnt look loke alot to them, with all black everything has to be subtle yet still stand out. JW- where do you think it needs some more weathering? Believe it or not I've put alot more on it then the concept art. It was much darker, more black. He isnt all that colse to being doen so I'm open to suggestions. Maybe darker on his actual clothes and more wear on the jacket type of thing? Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I think it may just be my monitor. I think more of a tan color my stand out a bit more on him--the brown (on my monitor) seems to blend a bit. It might also be due to some light reflection as well that may be fooling me.

Enchantra Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Chris - I would highlight up the black a bit, the highest places getting either the lightest brown you can mix or even the tiniest touch of white to show light reflection off the black leather they are wearing. I think it would help make Neo pop more. His guns need a bit more detail as well, otherwise an all around great couple of works again.

haldir Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 They both look fantastic, but ever give thought about pinstriping on Wyatt's pants? Trying to remember either Russell or Costner's gear. Again, they are both neat figs, talk about extreme opposite generes!! ha ha RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanker22 Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 haldier- If I remember right from the movie Tombstone, with Kurt Russell as Wyatt ( One of the few westerns I like) He was in entirely black as well, same as the box art on him. I think a Doc Holliday Fig would be neat to do, havn't seen one of those yet. Have taken your guys advice though and started doing some more weathering on his jacket bringing out a more dusty brown look. It does look better, thanks. Will try and get a bit more contrast on the pants as well. Not much I can do with Neos guns though, all his stuff as a coat of blueing on it or was dark black from what I could tell. Can try to bring some it it out, just have to play around some with it. Still bringing out a bit of highlighting on the leather in Neo as well, thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 there was 2 films about Wyatt that year, one was Tombstone (Russell) & then there was "Wyatt Earp" with Costner (3 hours I actually sat in a theatre, but I was on a date, sooo I guess it was ok, ha ha). I actually like the leather on Neo's coat, my view I see a couple colors on there & that is a neat effect. RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
