Post-Apocalyptic Vigilante

With the recent holidays I haven't had much extra funds to invest in new figures/accessories/etc., so I end up re-using/modding stuff on other characters. I also started playing Fallout 4 recently and it inspired me to try out a similar style. I like to imagine my MC as a time-traveler on a secret mission - that's my BS explanation for why his appearance always changes. He discovered the ancient remains of the alien character's armor and equipped them.

This character is looking pretty good, and the details are great.

I absolutely adore the aesthetic of your figs - all grimy and weathered, yet colourful!

I like his new face paint, and those poses are excellent. Gotta agree with Lynkhart that your use of colour is unique and you have such a trademark style overall. I feel you on not having much spending funds atm, lol -- but you still managed to do something great with him all the same. :')

Yep. What everyone has already pointed out. Cool aesthetic to your characters — the time travel element is always fun.

This is cool! Cool!!! And Cool!!! I like his facepaint so much!! I can have only one critic about the knife/ little sword placement in front of his belly, that might affect how he sneaking or bending waist in real-life action movement, maybe could put on his back instead... but then everything is impressive ..

Ye, this. And what the other guys said. Really enjoyed your style over this rather creative year.

The stitching on his back is just great, never really noticed it before somehow.

And that copper gadget thingy looks like a Victorian era time machine, so your idea makes aboslute sense!

Thanks for the feedback you guys, I'm happy everyone enjoys this version of the character so much!!! I'm definitely a sucker for implementing pops of color in most of my works. Next I'm planning to give him a western outfit - a cowboy hat, suspenders, slacks, actual cowboy boots, the whole shebang. lol

Thank you! The face paint is a defining trait and I know some didn't want me to paint this headsculpt, but I just find it helps make the eyes and overall expression more intense. For the weapon placement, I've also considered this and placing it more to the side for more plausible movement. Previous designs had it sheathed to his back, I just wanted to try something different here.

Much appreciated! Everyone's work here has also given me inspiration for new ideas to mash up and play around with. The wrist gadget I found in a jewelry kit, I love finding random treasures in normal items that can be implemented in 1/6 scale and appear as something completely different.

And glad you finally noticed the jacket symbol. It's like the character's mysterious family/clan crest. I drew it up on some cloth a long time ago and used fabric glue to give an embroidered appearance. I don't actually sew on this scale so fabric glue is almost always my go-to!

It is no right or wrong to do something on headsculpt, just like I always cut some parts of the body for further articulation range, the only thing is, you should not regret what have you done
