Slaymaker's WRY1 Inspired Flint and Lady Jaye

[Slaymaker]

Ever since I say WRY1's drawing of a more modern version of Flint and Lady Jaye, I wanted to try to make them. Here they are...my camera battery died before I could take any individual shots with different angles. Let me know if you'd like to see some of those:

Awesome job, Slaymaker! Excellent choice of parts and paint apps. Where did Flint's drop leg holster come from?

 

[MMorelock66]

Those look great! I got the same Flint in the mail today (5 pack version?). And all I did was replace the legs. I'm loving the 5 o' clock shadow!

 

[Slaymaker]

Drop holster is from Broken Arrow toys. I love it...it is sculpted on both sides so you can glue it to either leg.

Flint head? not sure which it came off of...my carded one is missing a head so I am thinking that one. I painted in thicker eyebrows and the 5 o clock shadow...

My 1st time trying a wash and drybrushing...trying to bring it up a notch. Even bought black athletic tape to try to make slings like Rick.

Great job Slay!!

Really dig that 5 o clock shadow

 

[Slaymaker]

thanks!

Nice work Slay...maybe try out some drybrushing to really pull off the wry1 effect

Nice use of the thigh pad. Covered those up nicely. I have become a big fan of weathering and dry brushing personally and agree with Eddie.

Just depends on what look your going for

 

[G.I.*EDDIE]

I think the bad thing about starting dry brushing, is if you have a large collection already that hasn't been worked on yet...so you do one, then all a sudden feel the need to go back and do all of your original collection...this is the main reason I've avoided drybrushing since I've recently become decent at it...

I did dry brush as well...but with brown...



I did a wash with runny black and then later a dry brushing on both with leather brown. What color should I have used? Seriously - I want to get better at this.

I actually am very much considering "weathering" many of my other recent customs....

 

[MMorelock66]

Hey Slaymaker, because of you Flint has to be unshaven! Damn you! My Flint WIP now looks hobo'ish.

- I got lucky on how well that turned out...

I like mine. I just used black paint and it looks good. So I'm not complaining

I use Craftsmart black for my wash and some fabrics lately. Cheap as heck but looks good.

My tan dry brush is usually a desert tan color. Lighter color will bring out the high/worn edges. A dark wash seems to fill in the crevases/creases giving a nice contrast.

I use an actual dry brush also.

 

[Slaymaker]

so I should dry brush with a lighter green on dark green? I used brown thinking jungle dirt might be brown. Never been in a jungle so I took a guess.

You have to think about either dust or what brown mud/dirt looks like when dried...it's typically much lighter than its moist/wet form...

Another problem I have is getting it to show up in photos when done subtle...

Ah! That is my problem...it is too subtle.

Smexy customs, dude! Really liking LJ.

Thanks, Fled!
