Custom Arkham Knight Batman McFarlane

#photography #DC # mcfarlane

This is one of my first videos showing the customization . I tried to keep it as simple as possible, in the end I tried new products to achieve the desired look.

I started by applying graphite powder to the figure

I then added back in the highlights with silver using a dry brush effect

I then added blue to pick highlights on dark areas like the cape.

So I was not happy until I view the Hot Toys version. I realized then that I needed a chrome paint.

So unfortunately it was like starting all over again. I sealed te prior work en matte finish clear coat and started applying the chrome paint. Although it looks good here, I will not use this brand again. It rubs off even with a sealant. I will use a cad aluminum next time. The figure looks more like the Hot Toys version now. Much happier. The portrait was one of first paintings and looks ok.. The work looks better now..I may do an update to this figure in the future.

Silver dry brush was also applied to the accessories
All work was sealed with Model Masters semi-gloss clear coat.
