Large scale garage kit from Amok Time Toys. Oils are still shiny, but I will matte them down after some drying time. Getting to work on the jungle next; I also have to build his knife and locket.

My favorite artist of Burroughs works was J. Allen St. John, who did many of the early illustrations. A friend shared an analysis of St. John’s color palette, which I tried to replicate, so the colors are all mixed from that, over an airbrushed base. I initially tried St. John’s textured brush strokes, but it didn’t work for me in three dimensions, and I love to blend anyway

That is one fine peice of work, Matt! This is really cool, something much different, very well done!

 

[MCPWilk]

Hi Matt,
Great job, evokes fond memories as a young 'un watching Johnny Weissmuller and then Ron Ely as Tarzan.

Love the skin tones and a Chimptastic effort too.

cheers

Phenomenal. can't see how this could be improved in any way. Got any John Carter stuff stashed away? Would love to see some Barsoom armor added to all that flesh.
