Jefuemon Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Found this thanks to Cancer107. A cel-shaded VF-1D and VE-1. Yes, these are model kits, not paper craft! Quote
CoreyD Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 That's amazing, and it also makes my eyes hurt from looking at it! Quote
jvmacross Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Most original idea I have seen done with a kit in a long time. Thanks for posting! Quote
Falcon18 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Very original. Kept asking myself back and forth if it was actually a real model. The detail is amazing. Quote
cool8or Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Sorry, I don't get it... Those photoshoped pictures of a customized model kit? Edited October 29, 2013 by cool8or Quote
DarrinG Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 No - they actually painted the hi-lights and effects right on the kit. It creates some visual confusion to what you're seeing but I really dig it... Quote
chyll2 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Sorry, I don't get it... Those photoshoped pictures of a customized model kit? it is actually painted to immitate the cel-shaded look. Quote
EXO Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 On one of the images you'll see the models used for this project. Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Wow! just wow! that's such an eye catching and confusing effect. WIsh he could show the process. Very very very original!!! and that gerwalk kit is just stunning! Quote
wm cheng Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Wow, just stunning paint work - amazing that it works on so many angles too. Thanks for sharing. Quote
Knight26 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 That is seriously cool, I don't think I have sever seen anyone paint a model that way before, the way it plays with the real shadows causes a real sense of, wha.... Quote
eggy99 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Totally blown away. I was thinking, "what am I looking at? Illustration?" Such an impressive paint job. Would anyone want Bandai or Arcadia to follow suit with special edition versions like this for their valk releases? Quote
coronadlux Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Very creative. Like taking a screen grab and somehow making it real. Quote
derex3592 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 That's freaking crazy! I thought it was photoshopped! Awesome job. Quote
GU-11 Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Holy crap, that's both crazy and impressive at the same time! I'm not even sure what I'm looking at here! How the hell did they do that, painting up a 3D object and make it look 2D? Quote
cool8or Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Damn! How I wish to pay the guy to teach me that technique... I'm in love with that kit! It's the most creative painting job that I never have seen in this hobby, including military stuff. The guy is my new idol!!! Quote
Vi-RS Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 This is insane and very original in its creativity. Screw Yamato or Arcadia, this is the most anime correct real life Valkyrie I have ever seen. Quote
coronadlux Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 This is insane and very original in its creativity. Screw Yamato or Arcadia, this is the most anime correct real life Valkyrie I have ever seen. Agreed. Quote
Reïvaj Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 This is insane and very original in its creativity. Screw Yamato or Arcadia, this is the most anime correct real life Valkyrie I have ever seen. ! Quote
jenius Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Arcadia should call this guy. Instead of 'weathering' versions, give us anime versions! Quote
Berttt Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Ha ha damn. I actually had an idea similar to this but hadn't had a chance to get to it. That said this bloke went way beyond what I . envisioned, or could likely have achieved. I was going to paint a MKIII RAF Mustang in a comic book coloured line art style. But as they say "no photos = never happened." This kit is very very nice, I hope he get lots of kudos. May I ask that a member here that is able, please post our collective congratulations on that forum? Cheers, Berttt Quote
GMK Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Wow that looks great! Could work on the HAW206 kit that's just arrived on my doorstep.... Quote
Tober Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Looks brilliant! Although I think the effect would be lost if the lighting wasn't diffused. Still looks amazing tho. Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) That is just plain awesome. It reminds me of photos where people themselves and their surroundings were painted on to look like 2D artwork. Something like this http://www.geekologie.com/2010/04/real-people-painted-to-look-li.php Edited October 30, 2013 by MacrossJunkie Quote
ivorysniper Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Wowww!!. I just ran out of words. This technique is waaay beyond my understanding. ... and to think I was about to ask how to do that in photoshop... Quote
Dobber Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Holy FARKING SCHNIT!! That is amazing!! I can not see the actual physical model. I keep thinking it is a cell animation! Chris Quote
EXO Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Looks brilliant! Although I think the effect would be lost if the lighting wasn't diffused. Still looks amazing tho. You also need a super flat clear coat to make sure nothing else reflects and the shading is even for the anime shading to come thru. What I like the most is that he removed a lot of the detail and and minimally replaced such things as the verniers with decals. And the lit boosters, cel shaded canopy, and the flat balck on the joints also kick ass. Thanks Jefuemon... someone posted it on FB the day before and I thought... cool cel art! lol. Quote
DarrinG Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Really love how the foot jets are painted that ultra light blue effect . . . Quote
modelglue Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 That is incredibly effective and original. Kudos to the artist! Quote
Cancer107 Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 In my comment in that fg page, with a link to this forum I told the modeler that his model has been highly-praised also by foreign viewers Quote
