I got a zoids kit recently and made the mistake of looking up beautiful painted ones on Instagram so I'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've passed up this kit so many times... I'm excited to finally have an excuse to get it! I'm not a big fan of the McDonald'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 👀

Messing up a lot learning a lot 🤷‍♂️
I don't feel amazing about this but i want to document it anyway. This is before assembling and detailing!
Wow I'm actually really surprised about how cool this looks painted.

I'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'm gonna call this done and move on to the next learning experience. It'll always be the first robo🤖

Also officially love enamel paints even though I'm terrified of them.
ROUND 2 TEAL GLOSS GET HYPE
Realized i forgot to post these. Bonus biz card mecha
I finally get panel lining. Took a hot minute
Delish
Sex is fine and all but have you ever done panel lining in white
HMMMMMM
I really love how this one turned out!! I'm glad I used my favorite colors 🤖😭💙💚🧡 (yellow is the before picture)
Moving along
Realized i never posted the shoot of it built. I haven't had a chance to paint for a whole month because I'm scared to prime in high humidity and it's rainy season😭🌧️
I've been more consistent updating this on insta but look!!! I started!! #ZOIDS
I was just reminded about this thread. It's been slow, but I made a lot of progress.
Liger Zero looks terrifying without any white... Zombie skeleton kitty #ZOIDS
