This is a hand-painted custom of the Transformers Movie Deluxe Optimus Prime in Protoform action figure by pairadocs of pairadocs design lab.  This figure was a bit boring in its original form, but I saw a lot of potential in it, as it was really poseable and well sculpted.  I started by filling in all of the gaps and holes where the screws from the toy were visible, sculpting and sanding them to make the figure as seamless as possible.  Then I gave him a metallic black base coat, and drybrushed a nice oily steel color to bring out his details and give him more of a metallic feel, and went back and added silver highlights.  Then, the whole thing was given a custom metallic light blue overbrush... giving him his organic blue metallic look (albeit subtle.)  Then I went in and added in all the little details.  He can still be transformed too - but I don't know why you'd want to... the "comet" form is pretty dull... he really shines in his robot fighting form!!  SO poseable, so cool...

This is made for the collector in mind... while it can still be posed and transformed, it is not meant for your heavy playing. Great for the Transformers collector looking for a "show piece."

Feel free to ask me any questions, etc. Keep watch - I will have more customs listed in the upcoming weeks!
