Need Oppinion on Digibash

[kup]

Hi guys,

I am currently planning a real kitbash repaint (with a tiny 'clip' mod on the head) using the ROTF Reverb mold as a basis. To help me out on a succesful character portrayal, I have taught myself to digibash a picture of Reverb to map out the color scheme and therefore be able to get a preview of what the figure will look like before I ruin it with real paint .

Now in order to Test if I am succesful in portraying the intended character through this repaint, I need to know a couple of things:

- Can you tell what character is being portrayed by the repaint?

- Does the repaint succesfully portray said character within the standards of a Club Exclusive/Botcon repaint? - Please be frank about this.

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.




Thank you.

Hey - it's Tarantulas! And yes, it's as good or better than most BotCon exclusives.

I'm not really familiar with the Reverb toy and I'm happy with the way this looks at the moment. If you wanted to, perhaps you could attach a black thread and grappling hook to his gun hand - I think that would be cool.

Yep! That's right - it's Tarantulas

I needed to make sure that I was making the character recognisable.

He is my attempt at making a Timelines'06 Tarantulas. I have been wanting to do the none toy characters that appeared in the Botcon'06 comic for a couple of years but I could not find a suitable mold for Tarantulas until the Reverb mold appeared.

Here is what I am aiming for:



The Reverb mold is already very Beast Wars like in its robot design and detailing, he even has a molded bug mouth and a Wolfang mask!

I plan to remove the leg plates for a more Cybertronian look to the bike mode and also to have him be able to extend his legs in for a TM2 type bike mode.

In regards to your grappling hook idea, that sounds awesome! I will see if I can find some way to implement it. I guess that its not too hard as long as I find a small hook like weapon from some other toy that's within scale.

Thanks again for your views !

I have made a little update in order to add more traditional Tarantulas colors.

- I have made the mouth yellow instead of green for more comic accuracy. What do you guys think?

- I have given him traditional Tarantulas Orange feet but I think that I may reverse this one as it may contrast too much with the rest of the color scheme although it is growing on me a bit but as always, suggestions/criticism are appreciated.

The new feet are good. I still think he needs some green, though. The green mouth was good, but if you don't want it I think you should put some green elsewhere (on the long lines on his chest perhaps) not only to 'be' Tarantulas, but also to break up the purple with something different.

How is this?

How is this?

That's pretty cool actually, and I think it works because it makes those lines like the 'reformatted' incarnation of his spider eyes.

that's pretty cool, i instantly recognised it as taratulas and i think your colour choices are pretty good but maybe try putting a little bit more green on him like maybe on his hand and on that little circle on his chest, just an idea though
still really cool looking, i like it
