Yeah, I wan't my BRJ to be painted like that.

Yeah, I wan't my BRJ to be painted like that.

small studios has done a ton of repaints of that head but that one is just outstanding. He really brought out the likeness.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Small studios? Is this a guy who takes commissions?

 

[Mr. EcKo]

I bet Skiman could pull that paintjob off

 

[TheFiend]

Small studios? Is this a guy who takes commissions?

Yeah. He has a style all his own. Beautiful paints though. Check it out.

I don't know what it is but there is something I really don't like about those repaints. Yes - the paintwork is incredible and whoever did them is very talented; but they seem to lack realism - they look more like comic strip characters than real people.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

they look great to me...except the Bale....too pale imo....

Exactly. That's what I mean about his own style. Ultra realistic isn't his thing. But I think they have a certain beauty to them. That Obi Wan is great.

Agreed.

My Nurse Joker is a SS repaint that a bought from another member, personally don't think it fits in with the rest of my collection with its style.

What I don't like about his painting is the eyes. He makes them super bright, as if there's a little spotlight light shining on them (like in old black and white movies).

The PERS Joker paintjob you posted was pretty good. Maybe because it's PERS and so he couldn't paint the eyes...

 

[ZaCHw117]

Yeah, not a fan of his style.

You're judging something on the type of lighting thats used. There's a strong light bouncing off the sculpt and the white backdrop creates more of it. You're not really seeing it in natural lighting.

 

[Jokes & Bats]

This creeps me out.

 

[Orgasmic]

The joker repaints looks perfect to me.

 

[Maglor]

Yeah, the museum Jack is crazy good.

 

[TheFiend]

Agreed.

No, I agree with you. It wouldn't fit with my collection either and I don't think I'd commission him for anything but I think his paints have a beauty to them.

Its just that everyone wants "realistic" nowadays.

I think Ski is my " go to" painter.

My DX 01 Joker arrived! A grail piece for me, been wanting it since release day and never had money to get it. It's freakish how much it looks like a mini-Ledger
I absolutely love it, can't stop staring at it in awe

 

[TheFiend]

Good for you bud!

I think SS paint work is fantastic but very, very illustrative. It doesn't have any photographic realism to it. But it's very well done and highly stylised. Just a question if it's your cup of tea or not. It's not to my personal tastes.
But beautiful work none the less.
