Transformers: G1 cartoon style TFA BUMBLEBEE

[frogDNA]

I'm really diggin this cartoon style, so I decided to try it on Bumblebee.
(you might/or might not remember my previous attempts on this style, with Sideswipe (http://www.flickr.com/photos/frogdna/sets/72157622564727233/) and Optimus Prime (http://www.flickr.com/photos/frogdna/sets/72157622583804208/))

First of all, I resculpted his eyes, since I didn't like much that "I'm a bad boy" kind of look. I removed his alternate hands/blasters and then I repainted him with a very cartoonish look, using the G1 colors.
I also added some panel lining here and there, for an even more cartoonish look.
I used only matt colors and a dullcoat lacquer for protection.

This is like looking at a cartoon in the real world. I hate Animated Bumblebee so much and you made me like this. Glad you got rid of that smart ass face. This is just pure awesomeness.

I'm so glad Superman came out well.. it was kind of a risk at first, I had no idea if that extreme comic look would work :S

The mold looked interesting enough to try it though...
The problem is a have another one sitting there... might make a Cluffjumper at some point :rolleyes:

Splendid job, love the panel lines, the look on his face and the cartoon window glare. Super!

Just bought two Animated Jazz figures for a couple of euros (= a couple of bucks). Lovely little Autobot and one of 'em is already in line for a repaint ;)
