Dai-Mongar Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 This is one funky monkey. My first and natural instinct was to paint him with a standard black leather jacket, but I thought I'd give him a bit of a James Dean look with the red jacket and jeans. The rest really just fell together nicely. Big risk with this guy was the shades - I hummed and hahhed about doing black shades or mirror shades, but my better half convinced me that I should be trying to grow my skills and I went for it. I wouldn't say it came out exactly perfect, or that it was necessarily the right mini to do it on, but I'm happy with it. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokingwreckage Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 This was definitely the right mini to do the shades on. Now he's a chimp with a classic leather jacket and mirror shades, and YOU, good sir, made it happen! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DixonGrfx Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Before i read your comments, the mirror shades really stood out to me. Well done and a great choice. Works really well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thes Hunter Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 He is one bad m..... <a voice from no where says> Shut your mouth! But I'm just talking about Monkey. I think the mirror shades and the coat make him look perfect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai-Mongar Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Thank you one and all for the nice words. I think what the shades might need is a more solid white line in the middle, but like hell I'm going to try and fix it now. Something for next time. Maybe the next logical progression is to finally have a go at NMM... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniCannuck Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Great paint job - I really like the shades and the dusty feel to the jacket/jeans. It make me want to paint my guys now :) Gotta love the monkeys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
