Soo..... I had been reading some recent comics, and was inspired by some glowing energy on characters that inspired me to try some serious fades and glowing effects with the new MK paint I had just gotten in the mail, and they performed well beyond my expectations. I started with the red-yellow hot-looking fade, and then blocked in all of the ‘armor’ looking bits in black, to make it look like Jet Jaguar was red-hot with energy, sealed inside a containment suit. I highlighted the black with a little blue, and picked out some parts in bright silver, since I wanted to try every paint in the set. I then worked on the green, first just a glowing effect from the hands and eyes. From there I tried out the Purple Pearl paint I got, which shows up the most on the darker areas. I was expecting it to tint the bright silver purple, but this was a learning experience. The green contrasted, but wasn’t doing enough for me, so I was trying to decide how to finish the figure. When I was spraying the Monster Kolor, I realized just how thin and fine it sprayed compared to the much thicker acrylics. I was finally able to use my Super-Fine tip and needle, and added in all of the cackling energy lightening effect… JJ is souped up and ready for battle, oozing raw energy and looking for a monster to vent on! And now, the pics... as always, more here: http://prometheusrising.wordpress.com/2010/05/15/m1go-jet-jaguar-power-up-monster-kolor/
Great concept and well done! I love it!! I still haven't picked up this Monster Color...but will soon. It really shines!
That looks fantastic! I love the green energy lines mixed in, they really compliment your other colors too. Beautifully executed!
Beautiful work, Ben! Say, do you have a full back shot? I wanna see more of that crackle traveling up the spine!
Is this old thread day? This was posted over 3 years ago. It's ok to like something and think nice things in your head without posting them...
That was my fault! I figured the toy deserved to get some more views so I posted some nice comments to bump the thread.. I would never have seen this great paint job if I didn't have a spare hour at work to go hunting through the archives & I'm sure other people would have completely missed it.
