question: what kind of paint do you recommend?

Personally, I use the Warhammer Primer and Paint [Citadel Paint], but just because I already have it lying around from my Warhammer old days. I don't know if there are any others that people use, but I feel like that paint doesn't work as well without the primer, that's why I have that side-on. Also, I use Sculpey for the clay.

Yeah, I also use citadel because a: I have many left from my off and on warhammer shit and they're the highest quality paints that I can get without having to go like 349573894km away.
Any paints should work though with the exeption of watercolour, but you might want to try a couple different types using your school's/own paints before you decide on what you want to use.

Also, keep in mind your brushes. Ironically the fine bristles of a watercolour brush is probably the best choice if you want to diminish streaking OR if you want a matte look, you should use rougher canvas brushes made outta rough horse hairs. And remeber- brushes that are bought at a higher price from a specialty store will always be better than the ones you buy in a pack for a dollar at the corner store.

This reminds me I NEED A JOB TO PAY FOR ALL THIS but untill then RANSAKING THE ART DEPARTMENT'S STORE ROOM IS A GO.

I was expecting to see more concepts up by now :(

Proceed at your own risk :)

I have no clue if they sell them in Mexico, I do know that it is a PAIN to mail to mexico because things get lost there.

YEA they do.

The actual MyPlasticHeart store in NYC has these right? I don't want to walk down there for nothing... From the site it looks more like a gallery than a shop.

We can but at our own risk. If you wanna get one, ask luis (and pay him) for the best quality shipping, and send it back the same way, id say Estafeta or something expensive like that, otherwise theres quite a chance of getting it lost or super late. Both have happened to me :P

Errr, did anyone else notice something subliminal?

Haven't fucked up the pic quality on this one. With proper screws for eyes.

Wow I was going to do something with Ciruitry but chose against it since my craftsmanship isn't all that hot.

yeah you can probably get custom transfer sheets with angry faic done at a copy shop so it's perfect

These are some (rough) sketches

Since I have no artistic skills I don't mind giving away ideas... However I hope Im not the only person around that remembers MTV's "The Head" It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the blank! Either that, or some grossly retarded version of a character from TankMen.

That's going to be really hard to pull off. Perfect circles are almost impossible, unless you're good at painting of course. It's just because you have tons of them, but I know you're a good artist, so that looks SWEET!

You can get perfect circles if you use a stencil.

cool, I think I'll try a couple of these. they're really fun to do!

here's the first I've done; Trooper Aid. so like, first aid for these guys. I'd probably make the first aid signs a little bigger and more first aid sign proportionate on a real one, these + shapes are pretty long.

hope you guys like it.

Here's my Roman Centurion (Soldier) ! I didn't want to put in the sword and shield because I don't want to have too many props in it. I think it turned out awesome.

I know :( Thought my orange cat creature was too bland and un-NG, and now I'm just being fantastical.

I just had a double-take to think of what circles you meant. Feel like a plank now. I've been more concerned about the ridiculous amount of straight lines.

HaHaBear had a genius idea about the transfer Angryfaic, so I could get a bunch of same-size circles banged out on the same sheet.

Hehe heres one i made in like 20 min....kinda sukz......
THIS IS SPARTAA!!!!!
