Glazes and washes etc might have improved the look I suppose, but the iconic, comic book, graphic, sports strip look works perfectly here I think.<br /><br />You are a white undercoat sort of person it appears. Or you were back then anyway :)<br />cheetor/sho3boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903788038870748272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-8871800233963764552014-11-05T07:08:30.102+00:002014-11-05T07:08:30.102+00:00Sorry...on the plus side, he's really simple s...Sorry...on the plus side, he's really simple should you want to recreate him :)axiomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598298167403563382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-560709119022789110.post-44787669051694984852014-11-05T07:07:13.451+00:002014-11-05T07:07:13.451+00:00Just GW blazing orange highlighted with golden yel...Just GW blazing orange highlighted with golden yellow.

I'm really happy that so much good initiatives like these exist, I remember when my hobby was just a sad solitary experience...<br />Painting for others, painting other people's stuff, giving away things is actually VERY rewarding ! Not only do you get presents in return but you also make friends and help strenghten the community around solid values like solidarity and sharing. <br /><br />I'm really excited about picking something else in the salvation thread but I want to send something first just to feel "even" !<br /><br />The fact you're involved in so much of these is just another proof of how nice a guy you are (and no further proof was needed at that point).<br /><br />The Frogsigor is brilliant, just the right look and all.
