[XM Studios] Phoenix

[Stampe]

First of all, JEAN HAS GREEN EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Second, it isn't good. Yes, it "isn't bad," but for the price?
This could be WAY better. I am kind of disappointed.

Why - have you po'ed it?

I like it but need some adjustements on eyes.. they must be green not blue and on their position.. seems a bit cross-eyes.. like long hair bw..

The production will have decals and they'll be green. Just spoke with them.

I think it looks pretty good. Not great but solid for sure. How much was it? I still prefer the regular head to it. The face seems a bit long or narrow.

 

[Gomur]

That's a solid custom. Congrats! I'd take it over the regular portrait and the "pretty girl" portrait (not sure what to call it or why it even exists). Basically it's better than 2 of the 3 default offerings, the exception being the "going dark" Jean Grey head.

Still, I maintain the prototype regular would've been the best. But people just had to whine about the hairline. Nicely done. Now you get a "three-head" instead of a proper forehead.

 

[Frostlord]

I think the custom looks awesome.
Glad I manage to secure my order

Tbh only problem was eye color for me but loved it anyway now that they fix it its perfect, I really like the way the eyes look and every 1 who has this on PO looked really happy including me

 

[rjszar]

I wish a flash hadn't been used. It really makes the paint app look sub par, wrong eye color notwithstanding. Still really looking forward to this.

I want that Lena Headey Phoenix head, I saw floating about.


Like that one too.

Yes. Hopefully this looks better in person. I don't look forward to paying $$$ for this head and then being forced to have it repainted.

He is doing two versions, one with pupils, one without. He is also working hard on getting them perfect. I will be getting both of those.
They are awesome.

With the narrow face and the color of the eyes, the sculpt looks like Liv Tyler...

 

[comicbookguy]

The custom was really nice for sure. Love it a lot. I agree the eyes need to be straighten up a tad then it's very impressive. This will up my display phoenix by quite a bit. It's pricey for customs but I really needed a custom for that one.












Comicbookguy is not a troll, please don't put him on ignore. He's a honest veteran for a very long time. He's ok in my book.

I got it on PO but to b honest I'm disappointed. As time goes on I'm more satisfied with the original heads and the flame on head is perfect. I'm not convinced I would display this head over it

It really is. Never saw what the huge fuss was about but everyone has their own preference.

It's still being made, printing the proto is taking forever. I tried to ask different factories around but the level of detail on the sculpt is such that most of them can't print down to that detail. The ones who can, can do it only on very small surfaces and the sculpt is pretty big, with all the hair floating.
Should be very close to be printed tho, in the meanwhile we used the time to test some paint apps, these are a few pics of the counter samples I received from the painters - first one with iris, other ones power up effect. Used a Scarlet Witch portrait with the same colors we'd use on Jean. I'll post updates when I have something more substantial, don't want to rush.

Looks great! This is the one I'm waiting for.

 

[Silverine]

Sick also

What type of micron count are you looking for.... I got these printed for a damn reasonable price.

You may also want to consider printing the hair seperately with a key seperately. Like this

Edit: here is a better picture of a hair key

 

[El Mule]

So far I know that printing down to 16 microns is not 100% sure to nail all details, don't know much else, guess I should have inquired better on 3D printers. And good call about keying, we underestimated the size and volume of the sculpt

Dude, 16 microns is pretty damn good for accuracy. Have you talked to ownage???

 

[El Mule]

Yup, they're the ones I'm waiting for and the only factory who guaranteed to nail the details, so it's gonna take a bit more for the printed master, hopefully it's worth it.
