I repainted a Geralt figure (Grandmaster Ursine ver)

[mrbenbenben]

I bought this figure half years ago. (Geralt Grandmaster Ursine from Dark horse)
Great sculpturing, but the paint job is suck. (Pretty much what u can get from a $40 figure)
So I decided to repaint it, and here is the result, hope you like it.

Here is my twitter thread:

That is really a difference! Now it can be a really ornament of the living room
How many hours did you invest in this work?

Almost two weeks

Almost two weeks

I have an idea how much it costs. When I was kid I made a few jet fighter modell kit but painting was always beyond my capabilities. A few years ago I started over this hobby. I bought a ship like this at this time. Framing up was not a problem but painting is a real whore! From 2-3 metre it looks good, but if you want to go into details, you need to be an artist! I think you have that talent!

Very good work!

Damn, dude! That's some quality work there. It looks fantastic. Did you use acrylic paint and seal it?

Most of them are acrylic. I kinda sealed the head, but haven't sealed the body yet.

Looks awesome great job!

I'm wondering if it is still possible to order the statue?

 

[Kayrash]

Wow, wish I had the skill to do that :O

 

[Draconifors]

Wow, he looks so much better and more life-like than originally!
Enjoy your truly unique statue.

Very nice...much more lifelike. Also I think you might have been one of those monks that practiced self-flagellation in a past life.

I'm not into this sort of thing, but damn! the difference is astonishing.

CDPR should hire OP immediately to do this kind of stuff for them.

That is all.

 

[M4xw0lf]

Now that's more like a $400 statue.

 

[hiuuz]

If you count the hours what he put in the work...
Minimum!

 

[Lord_Stachu]

Now that's what I call a peace of art! Well done to you sir!

 

[Ataxiate]
