Although i haven't been drawing much lately, i've been keeping busy with other artistic endeavors.
Here we have 3 bootlegged street fighter resin kits recast as resin statues. the statues came with pretty average paint jobs and i tried to bring them back to life as best i could.
KAIRI the kairi statue needed a lot of work. as you can see from the pics, his face and especially his eyes were really badly painted. i repainted his face and eyes, giving him the golden pupil and scar. also got rid of that terrible lipstick and gave him a bad-ass street fighter mouth. next, i got rid of his very 3D nipples. and lastly i had to cut off his hands and totally rebuild them. the statue has been cast n recast so many times, the hands were pretty much blobs of resin with just the finger tips showing.
YANG the yang statue was surprisingly detailed and in good shape. he's a tad beefy for yang but a good sculpt overall. all it needed was some color corrections and i repainted the face to give him that more street fighter look.
Akuma i didn't think much of the akuma at first but after a fresh fresh coat of paint, it really brought the sculpt to life. adding detail to the eyes and mouth really helped.
lol thanks J. yeah the problem is once i fix em up i can't let them go... this year i'm focusing on making my own stuff and casting it, fingers crossed!
yeah painting is not easy, especially on such a small scale. i find the more you do it the better you get. also if your having trouble keeping your hand steady, try using your piny finger to lean against a try part of the model while painting the finer details like the eyes.
You could really sell these pimped out versions, you know

I think I need more training with the paint brush.
