Salmon's Beginning Repaints

[Salmon]

I'm just a tiny baby at repainting, but I've started to re-do some of my first attempts and I feel like I'm beginning to improve.

Safari Ltd. Nasutoceratops (Or possibly a knockoff? I got it at the gift shop at Fossil Rim, Glen Rose TX)

First attempt:



Second attempt, 4 months later:



I dressed him down a little bit!

@Salmon Your second attempt to paint the safari nasutoceratops has been totally satisfactory and an absolute improvement. It is a very nice repainted nasutoceratops, it is better than the original painting of that figure and I can tell you that it is not a compliment, I congratulate you and welcome to the forum dear friend.

Really digging your second attempt. I like the colour scheme and the way you've applied it to the model. One thing I would say is that the pink on the feet looks a little sloppy, but it could just be the lighting. Overall, excellent work for a beginner!

The second one is really good, I only wish there was a touch of lighter coloration on the face but that's a personal thing of mine. Can't wait to see more repaints from you.

[Salmon]

Thank you all so much for the constructive crit 0w0; I'm really proud of how this guy turned out!!

Yeah, the feet turned out a little odd. I was trying to add some black melanin spots with a toothpick and it smeared rly badly!

I'd say you came a long way in four months!

Very impressive. The first attempt isn't bad, but your second one is fantastic, great job!

I got another of the same species (CollectA this time) and decided to make a little themed base for it after repainting.





I found a hobby shop in town that sells those tiny pots of specialty warhammer 40k paints, and used a little agrellan earth to create the crackle effect under the figure. The log and sapling are natural wood collected from my yard.

[Halichoeres]

The base has a nice charred effect, as though a wildfire just tore through.

ye, I painted the figure first and thought it would benefit from a thematic base.

Wow! That CollectA repaint is impressive! Congrats!

The Collecta nasutoceratops gives it a fierce appearance its repainted by its muted colors. It is a beautiful figure. I congratulate you.

Thank you so much! I really wanted to sell the fire and ash theme of the figure. I've named it "Firestarter."

I did this fella over Christmas. Not perfect and I feel like I've improved since then, but he's still pretty cute. (Jurassic World "Roarivores" Allosaurus)

[Halichoeres]

It's a very striking color scheme! I like it.

My first post in a while, here's the new CollectA Carnotaurus! I decided to go with a more tropical look for this guy, given the coastal savanna habitat. Inspired by a number of different sea birds and by secretary birds.

[Halichoeres]

Hmmm I wonder which bird inspired the blue legs...

I think that they were inspired by the Blue Footed Booby.
Anyways, I think that you'rs is a really nice repaint, Salmon. Congratulations!

Yes, I thought as much; I was being facetious
