Cusrtom Protoform Bumblebee!

Postby Jin Saotome » Sun Aug 26, 2007 9:04 pm

Protoform Prime and Starscream needed a friend in the worst way. I mean you can repaint those two all you want but the real star of the Protoform scene is Bumblebee as he was shown in the Transformers prequel people recieved on free comic book day. What else could I do, I had to make one! Check out the link for the specifics on how he was built and the comparison shot to the comic panel.

Awesome as always!!!

I've been following your tutorials, practicing and adapting your painting techniques, and every new one you complete I want to copy. I wasn't going to buy any movie toys until I saw your customs, but now I'm right into them.

It's going to send me broke, but keep the fantastic work.

damn I love that paint app. It looks like Nugold (a real alloy). Almost like a really clean, high polished, untarnished copper. Oh, and brilliant touch with the watch batteries. So simple, yet so effective.
till all are one.

agreed, but having one more color is nice. I hate nickel silver as well, but it has its purposes.

Hey, thanks for the kind words! Didn't mean to beat anyone to this, just wanted to make BB as the Protoform because the comic was so cool. Let's see yours too!
