Micheal's Various Artistic Ventures

[michealsmells]

Yooo hello!! I've decided to put up another art thread for myself just to catalog stuff that I've made and share it with yall!!

I do three different kinds of art: Digital, Traditional drawing, and repaints. This was originally gonna be a repaint thread but I don't do them nearly often enough soo-

I wanted to kick this off by sharing 3 of (and in my opinion, my best) LPS repaints that I've made!! Do keep in mind that the images are quite big cause my phone camera likes to do that. I'll have to just link to Imgur because the images are hUGE but- I hope you guys enjoy!!

Click here for the repaints!

If anyone's interested, I can explain how and why I do repaints!!

Aww, I used to own a ton of LPS! Are the first two repaints inspired by anything?

Yes, actually!

The first one, the Alligator, kinda isnt but kinda is. I originally got the particular LPS that I repaint from a goodwill, and a lot of them were already painted over. It was painted a lot like it is now (though with a lighter pink for sure) and I liked it so much that I just decided to remake it. The original was dusty and uneven but otherwise really adorable.

The second is based off of my character Dexter! He's got a TV-Head but since I dont currently have the clay to do all that and am also scared to take him apart to do it, I just went ahead and painted him.

CLICK! for his page if you're interested in him at all.

Thank you for sharing all this with me! I can see why you would keep the alligator's colors, they work together very well. You can't go wrong with a pink and purple combo. Also the yellow breaks up the colors nicely.

I like how you tried to fit in as much of Dexter's details as possible despite how small the figures are. I'm a fan of object heads so he's already cool in my book.

I wasn't gonna post this at first but I'm really proud of it. I've had this character for years but could never properly draw him, so I'm proud I've finally found a personal style for him that fits.

Here's his Toyhou.se and now we can get to the art!

Spoiler: OwO
