Jefuemon Posted October 29, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon18 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Very original. Kept asking myself back and forth if it was actually a real model. The detail is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool8or Posted October 29, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarrinG Posted October 29, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight26 Posted October 29, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggy99 Posted October 29, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coronadlux Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Very creative. Like taking a screen grab and somehow making it real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derex3592 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 That's freaking crazy! I thought it was photoshopped! Awesome job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GU-11 Posted October 29, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool8or Posted October 30, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdf-1 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Wow. Looks totally like DYRL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vi-RS Posted October 30, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Arcadia should call this guy. Instead of 'weathering' versions, give us anime versions! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berttt Posted October 30, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMK Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 Wow that looks great! Could work on the HAW206 kit that's just arrived on my doorstep.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tober Posted October 30, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted October 30, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivorysniper Posted October 30, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dobber Posted October 30, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXO Posted October 30, 2013 Share 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.
