Mountain dew Rakshasa

[SluggZila]

First thread time!!

Since mountain dew released their skin I couldn't help myself and decided to take up the challenge of painting my rakshasa with the citrus cherry skin

Doing this I'll be hand painting the armor.

Here's a starting picture (middle)

And goal (with morrigan helmet)

Had a good start last night and got the base orange down for a few pieces. So far so good, the Tamiya paint takes a few coats but I like how it's looking so far!

All wrapped up on the knee pads and gloves! Maybe weathering down the line but very happy with these pieces.

And here is a side by side of the in game paint and mine

Words cannot describe how wicked that is! You're absolutely killing it with the color match and detail.

That looks great! keep it up!

That looks amazing!!! And all hand painted. I am gonna be doing the same thing as well. When I saw they came out with this skin color, I immediately got hooked on it and want to make my next suit out of it. This is the suit I'm going with.

That is SO GOOD, OMG! I can't wait to see the finished suit.

This is honestly giving me (even more) ideas for colour schemes (I don't even have one suit yet and now have four different colour scheme ideas, lol). How long do you think it took you to hand-paint all of these details?
