So This is my first custom I'm 13 I'm saying this because as far as I know most of you are older than me so you might be a little more impressed Jin saotome inspired this. Is anyone else having trouble finding any transformers movie figures? because I am the best I find is the previews which I didn't like until I saw jin saotomes so I made mine as you case see its gold inspired.
If this topic were about a kid inspired by Apple Jinny-seed (see what I did there? hah...) to make great pies out of apples, I'd tell him the same thing, it's good to have inspiration, it's even better to branch-out on your own and inspire others. If he had said that I inspired him in some way I would have said the same thing, "thanks and that's great, I'd like to see some of your own ideas sometime." I just say good things differently, and I guess it comes off as abrasive most of the time. (I can't help it, it's a gift )
Thanks for the updated pics, appreciate it!
And Proto, go for it. If I inspire you to make something cool, I've done my job. If I didn't want people copying my work I'd hide my write-ups and take down my guides. I see you put your personal touches on the character and that's what seperates yours from mine. Great job!
I did his ML Angel tutorial as my first marvel legend!
Anyway, I have to agree with the others about the pics. It's tough to tell what you have done, but from what I see it looks good.
Taking pics is something I'm still working on too. One of the nice things about a digi cam is you can take lots of pics, with different techniques without wasting film and use the best images you get.
Remember taking pics is an artform too, and needs some time to learn just as much as making the customs. And if all else fails, find a friend who is into photograpy and get them to take snaps for you!
