Grim Reaper Bee C&C please

[David.flores32]

I rushed this one, I wanted to add LED lights in the eyes and drape torn up dark fabric all over him. He is my take on the Transformers Grim Reaper. I am new to this and need all the C&C I can get.

Well, first let me say I really like where you are going with this... It is a very creative idea and you have done really well here.

While I usually like to see these Bay Formers (IMO) done with black and drybrushed silver on the bot parts, I know your going for the bones look with the white, so that is a good look for this one...

The only things I can really see to add, would be to carry the white bot parts down into the legs as well, and maybe add a little effect to the black if anything. Maybe some paint scrapes and weathering apps...

All in all though, like I said, I really like the idea and where your going with it...

I am new to this, what do you mean by Bay formers? I wanted to do paint scrapes but was not sure on how to go about doing so. I also purchased rust colored paint and tried the to rust him up, but I ended up repainting it. I really wanted him to look like he had traveled the cosmos. Maybe when I get better at this I can bring him to that level.

My first question is simple, why did you rush? One thing about this hobby is that, unless you have a commissioned customer breathing down your neck, you take your time. If there's something you want to do with a figure, the only one stopping you, is you.

One thing you will learn as you progress, the more patient you are, the better your results will be. By taking your time, you find you notice the smaller details more. Give this a try, transform him. See how many spots rub the paint right off. Now, you know where to go back and sand him down a bit.

You have a cool idea going here, and that mold does look nice in black. Keep at it, and keep going with your concept.

I agree, have the white carry over into the legs. And DON'T rush your work if you don't have to.
