I got a zoids kit recently and made the mistake of looking up beautiful painted ones on Instagram so I& #39;ve decided to plunge headfirst into figure painting. I went out and bought paints and another robot to practice on first, and this random Mewtwo have lying around.

I& #39;ve passed up this kit so many times... I& #39;m excited to finally have an excuse to get it! I& #39;m not a big fan of the McDonald& #39;s color scheme so the painting is gonna be really dramatic.

But really this box illustration is so charming I might even frame it LOOK AT IT

Anyway first coat of primer........

H e a v y b r e a t h i n g

But also not bc spray paint is toxic sry

I suuuuper messed up one of those big pieces but! It hides under another piece! Lucky me!

Nnnnot the cleanest coat of paint but i like how this bit of detailing looks. I also kinda like the patina on such a utilitarian robot

I don& #39;t feel amazing about this but i want to document it anyway. This is before assembling and detailing!

Wow I& #39;m actually really surprised about how cool this looks painted.

I& #39;m hoping to do some screentone/comic effects on it, kinda greyscale manga mewtwo fig

Not quite finished but some detailing done (and rainy day light)

Finally got some good light to shoot this boi!

I& #39;m gonna call this done and move on to the next learning experience. It& #39;ll always be the first robo

Realized i never posted the shoot of it built. I haven& #39;t had a chance to paint for a whole month because I& #39;m scared to prime in high humidity and it& #39;s rainy season
