Deep Vein Thromboses

aka "Clot"



I think I'm going to add some orange and yellow to this guy. Please let me know what you think. Thanks! -Brad

 

Looks tight the way it is.
But some orange highlights might be nice.

 

It's a little similar to LASH's "Horror" set.

 

Well thanks for the compliments. I knew it looked like something, and dang it if it isn't super close. Lash has a rub look to his though. Differences are that mine is red and deep purple, I think his is black. And mine will have orange and yellow highlights.



Sorry Lash, guess you motivated me subliminally....

 

red and black seem to be the most popluar colors. i just did one that was also red and black...lol

 

The fades appear very well done. I like this one for its simplicity. Makes a good strong "statement." I agree maybe some minor highlights would work but it's lookin' good the way it is, too.

 

Very cool. I really like it the way it is.

 

Just don't use orange or light green for highlights....hehehehe

 

Why no orange or green for highlights?

 

Cause I just did one with ornage and light green highlights...lol.

Yeah I saw that one. I'm still planning on using orange, but with yellow, and it shouldn't look like yours.

 

They could be long lost relatives...lol
I'm sure your figure will come out looking pretty cool. I'm still hoping KT will make other RxH figures into Solids for us to paint.

 

I partial to pink...and I like pink on toys too!

 

Very nice! Yellow highlights will look nice, it will match his eye..I would only use yellow though,hit the tips of his toes and fingers and the tip of his probe and this thing will be poppin!!

 

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I'll be sure to post up pics when he's finished!

 

Alright well update time. I will NEVER use rit dye on realxhead vinyl again. I'm glad I found out on a $30 SOLID chaos though. Today I was looking at my iPod and my mouse (both have white parts), and I noticed that they were red. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me, but then I thought about it. I had been holding my chaos all day trying to figure out the paint scheme. HE WAS BLEEDING! So I stuck him in hot water and within minutes the entire pot of water was red. I've been changing out water all day and everyone has been red. It's been leaching the dye everywhere. I don't think the blue I used is leaching, but I did the blue first, then dipped the whole thing in red after, so that could be the problem. I have dyed other vinyl with rit dye before and never had this problem (skuttles). I'm wondering if a clear coat of v-color would "seal" it in? It seems no matter how many times I soak this thing the pot just keeps getting red. Any help???

 

I haven't read through it but there might be something in Lash's sticky note about painting.

 

I thought you were going to paint orange and yellow highlights...or are you trying out dyes on a different chaos.

 

I was going to paint orange highlights on THIS chaos, which was done in dyes... It was THIS one that was leaching dye everywhere

 

the clot has ruptured!

 

yes...rather appropriate isn't it....
sorry to hear about the bleeding
