Crysis

This is kind of a shout out to two of the finest sculptor/painters in custom minifigures.

 

Soon after I started messing around with custom minifigures, I saw the Crysis sculpt by Andrew (Brickaffliction) painted by Dave (Geoshift) and I have coveted it ever since ; )

 

The only thing stopping me for obtaining one much earlier, was my own painting limitations.

 

Thanks to Nico (Kalskirata) for letting me buy this set from him, I finally managed to get this bad boy in my personal collection and even though it's still not a touch on the paint job done by Dave www.flickr.com/photos/41995251@N02/9485393413/in/dateposted/ it's good enough to earn a place in my collection, but I just can't seem to make the colours pop like Dave does and it's one of the things that makes his paint work stand out from others.

 

I couldn't resist adding a couple of minor sculpted touches to the figure, to make it "mine", so I added some sculpting to the inside leg and inside arm and a sculpted hip piece.

 

I constructed a large piece of custom scenery especially for this figure, as I wanted the photo to have more impact.

 

Hope you like it and I would dearly love to see something from these guys on Flickr once more ; )
