Packerbacker Customs Mando Monday p.79

Postby packerbacker180 » Mon May 10, 2021 10:10 pm

I actually finished a while ago but never got around to posting pictures. It's Valin Hess from The Believer in season 2 of The Mandalorian, played by Richard Brake, which might be one of the best Star Wars scenes in a while, live action certainly. The heads a 3D print I got off ebay and painted so I spent some time trying to mix in shades of skintone to make him look older. I like the way he turned out. Luckily he's the same rank as General Veers so I didn't have to do much other work besides swapping out the skirt for a Death Star Trooper and repainting that.

That’s really slick! Real people are hard to do (look at any company - ahem, HASBRO...) but you did a very nice job with the subtle 5-o’clock shadow and solid paint apps too.

Thanks man. Sometimes the shading just looks natural in images, but I think it's noticeable.

Whoa! I need to finally watch the Mandalorian, but I don't have Disney+. But man, I love me some Richard Brake. Have you seen Mandy? His scene is unforgettable.

The only Mandy I know came and gave without taking.

Even if you never watch all of The Mandalorian, that scene is still so good.

Here's a couple commissions I finished a little while ago just never posted with all the computer issues.

And if you're checking this out why not slide into some other threads and say hi? We've got a whole new wrestling section, BrandonDaCollector has been sharing all sorts of cool retro toys he owns and we even have a longwinded cartoon thread I've been slowly going through various old and new cartoons. Heck, stop in and play the Word Association Game because right now it's more like Word Association Tennis. Don't be shy. Spread your wings and fly! Hell yeah!

Absolutely brilliant work on Kite-Man…great idea to use fabric; wish I did! Sculpting is expertly done too!

I’ve always wanted to make The Shade too, but he kept falling down the ladder…outstanding job on him too
