Here's my weekend project. I finally decided to resculpt and repaint my Emperor (thanks to eczamurai for the inspiration 
). I've had him boxed up for quite a while now because he wasn't up to par with the rest of my collection. Since my Maul mod went over so well, I thought I should give Palpy a try as well before he rots away in his box. I'm quite happy with the way he came out.
As you see in the comparison shot (of course I forgot to take a before shot as always, so I included one from rebelscum.com), I first stripped the paint, then sculpted the new brows. I also closed the mouth a bit more, and added some more texture here and there. Then painted the whole thing, including the neck. I also painted the hands whiter, but didn't take a picture yet.
I ordered a new body for him that I will customize a bit until he has the right height and posture. The old Prometheus is floppy as hell, and I never liked the poseability anyway. So for now I only took some quick shots to get an idea what he will look like with the hood up. Ideally I would still prefer a different expression, maybe an evil grin with his teeth showing, but this will do for now.
I included the collage below (including eczamurai's custom) that I put together as reference for the brows and colour. As you can see, the colour varies quite a bit, depending on the scene and lighting, so I made it up a bit as I went along.
Enjoy.
I will post more pictures when the new body arrives and I can finish the whole figure.
