Thanks... and honestly it's a good sculpt, just bad paint. I forgot to take a before image, but did find this one on CTR; hopefully I've improved upon it :lol
You know after I finished my doctorate I strongly considered Dr. Galactiboy or Galactidoctor... but both are too pretentious :lol
Thanks man, I won't lie that gave me fits. And I still need to even it up on the other side as it's a bit too dark :gah:

Thanks... did a bit of work to the hair over lunch. Buffy's tricky with how her hair color transitions from dark roots to lighter and then darker at the tips. Hopefully it doesn't look like a hot mess when I'm done :lol

Finished up the paint work on the Buffy and Bishop heads... still have to paint Bishops boots though.

Wow, that Buffy sculpt is miles from the original paint up, you really did a great job on this one!

Thanks man... I'm not a fan of the show, but it was a fun sculpt to work on. Helped me try out something different.

Yeah, i never caught the bug either but I know how she looked and you did an amazing job, makes me wonder how much more awesome the Shaun of the Dead headsculpts would be with the proper paint apps.

I was also going to make a comment about the hair roots :lol Excellent. Hair is something I'm still trying to figure out. I think I found a pretty good solution for Walter Sobchak after much trial and error.

I've seen a great repaint of Ed... so I know he can be great. I imagine Shaun would be great as well. I always liked those sculpts, I though the extreme expressions worked well for how crazy that flick was :lol
Well, I'm still intrigued :lecture
Thanks guys... I spent more time on the hair color than anything else :lol I actually had the wife consult as she was a bit better judge of how the colors should transition. I think there are 5 or 6 different shades in there :lol
Blonde hair is just tricky... give me a brunette or black haired paint up any day!
I'm sure a lot of milky fluid would be involved :yuck

Skin tones are solid, and Buffy's hair came out great. I can't paint hair for ****. Pisses me off

Well if everyone says it then maybe I did do something right :lol
Thanks man... hair is funny, in theory it should be pretty easy, but you can also royally **** it up if you're not careful :lol
But generally a dark color as a base, followed by dry brushing (w/the direction of the hair and a bit against) with two lighter shades can get a good result. Blonde with roots and highlights though is a bit tougher of a nut to crack :lol But I think I did better than Sideshow's 2-tone orange job.

Re: GalactiCustoms- Hobbits☢Conan PF☢Lawrence☢Buffy☢Bishop☢BD Stark
Got to do two fun and fairly quick ones tonight, first up is applying Battle Damage to a Tony Stark head... I think this is the one from the Mark IV, but not positive.
So just added the cuts, a touch of bruising and then some blood:
And going off of this image:
I also cammoed a DX10 into Dutch, but need to get better pics... I'll post 'em later :duff

That is, indeed, the Mark IV Stark head. Nice one. I got a bit frustrated with my camo to DX-10 head attempt and put it on hold.

Cool... thought it was, but I've only got as far as the Mark III in my own collection :lol
The trick with the DX10 cammo is to really apply thinned down paint especially for the green. Too much and it looks weird... also having a skin tone close to the darkness of the HT sculpt helps to blend it in a bit.
