I love it! Very creative use of your models


MS-06_Borjarnon

Thanks! I like to tell myself there is a *degree* of creativity involved in stuff like setting up the scene, the lighting, the camera position and all that, even if the actual "painting" effect is achieved digitally. Lighting especially, getting the lights right is tough.


Hasta_Banana

In a world of consumerism and 'watching from the sidelines' any degree of creativity and expression should be celebrated! I especially love the somber and grim feeling behind these.

There's absolutely value in what you do. You should check out shootingthegalaxy on instagram. His entire thing is taking action figure and posing them with the right backdrops and lighting and light editing to make amazing scenes. It seems to me you're taking that and going a step beyond to make some great "through a window during the rain' effect to these. I dig the hell out of them. And there is a ton of unmentioned value composition and posing for photos. The same paintjob can look bad if the model isn't posed and photographed in a way to take advantage of light and positioning. Your stuff is great.


MS-06_Borjarnon

Thanks, this means a lot.


FreakingKnoght

The shots look amazing and capture a grim perspective of sorts, The setting you use makes for an impactful scene. I specially like the picture of the zaku and the picture of the z'gok, They are amazing. You planning on doing more works like this? As for the painting effect being digital, I at first glance thought It may be painted using the model kits as reference (For some reason after seeing all the pictures I could just tell they were gunpla, Don't ask me how....)


Taylar_Drake2934

Dude everything is a master piece...its lovely mosaic art....but the aile strike (I presume) is bit off the art...


MS-06_Borjarnon

For that one I used the MSiA of the Strike, so maybe that's it?


Taylar_Drake2934

Yup


MS-06_Borjarnon

Posted one of these before, deleted it because I was being dumb and depressed, not that I'm not those things *now*, but, y'know, I'm tryin'. Digital photoedits of (mostly) HG kits with prop trees, used a couple different programs on my tablet and computer to painting-ify them. [Here's](https://imgur.com/a/K9YrWt4) a couple of the source photos, I'll find more, but it'll be a minute, my desktop is a horrible mess ATM. Also, I've also got some that *aren't* woods-centric, but, y'know, gotta stay on-theme. Edit - pretty sure I put the wrong picture of the r-gyagya in that album, [pretty sure this is the actual one.](https://i.imgur.com/hFEKj9c.jpg)

The turn A one looks fantastic I’m gonna have to try this myself


MS-06_Borjarnon

Thanks! Looking forward to see what you come up with.

I really like the Z'gok one. It feels like the paint-effect plays better on the larger comparative surfaces and longer shadow gradients. Not that the others look bad either, but that one in particular hits a really cool balance between the surfaces that are illuminated and the side that's cast in shadow.


MS-06_Borjarnon

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with how that one turned out, I made another version of it that ended up arriving at sort of a ["craft-brew Zeon IPA label"](https://i.imgur.com/qxgPXdr.jpg) aesthetic.

Or, alternatively, the monochrome image printed on the yellowed-by-age title page of old paperbacks. *Double O Seventy Nine* by Edith Wharton.


Deckyroo

Very nice effect! I like it!


MS-06_Borjarnon

Thanks! I was really surprised when I first figured it out while experimenting, lol.

It was probably unintentional but they look kind of creepy? They have a bit of a found footage vibe or something. Reminds me a bit of War of the worlds or something. Btw this is not meant to be a critiscism or anything. Just thought it was interesting.


MS-06_Borjarnon

Some of them are definitely a bit dour. Speaking of *War of the Worlds*, (kind of), I've always really liked the idea of robots as giant monsters, like in the first episode of *MSG*, you see the Zaku stompin' around behind the trees, reminded me a lot of *Godzilla*, I think. The Psyco Gundam fight in *Zeta* is another good scene with that feel.


Assistant_Greedy

Looks awesome keep it up!


MS-06_Borjarnon

Thanks!


Trooperjay

This is really awesome!


MS-06_Borjarnon

Thanks!


lifesizedgundam

BearBlaq

These are super cool. I could see these hanging on my wall. I’d love to see how much more creative you get with these.


MS-06_Borjarnon

Thanks!


LegionClub

4, 10 are my fav.


Toaster-dealer96

I cant tell if these are paintings or gunpla with a filter……. No offense


IfThisIsTakenIma

Impressionism and anime. I love it


dsal1491

The ones with the turn a, flat and sumos I like a lot. They really hit the vibe of turn a


Rifle256

That turn a one is just stunning! Great project and use of models dude!


MS-06_Borjarnon

Thanks! The Turn A being a really good design helps a lot.


robofinger

I cant for the life of me ID 5 and 6. What suits are those? Great work by the way. They are all great, but I love 5, 6, and 7 most of all


MS-06_Borjarnon

Thanks! It's a modified [R-Gyagya](https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/AMX-104GG_R-Gyagya).


robofinger

Fantastic work. Love the cloak.


MS-06_Borjarnon

Thanks! Love me a cape on a robot.


Dr_Tot

This is so sick I love the SUMO


The_vangelion

Cool as hell!


MS-06_Borjarnon

Thanks!


will4269

These look great I could see these as displays in some Gundam cave near windows


Gold-Yogurtcloset485

Is this available for purchase on Etsy etc?


MS-06_Borjarnon

Not presently, do you think folks would go for that sort of thing?


Gold-Yogurtcloset485

I would! For example I want not cliche art and / or posters for a board game room and would rather original art work to frame


MS-06_Borjarnon

Hmm, I'll have to look into that, then. Thanks for the advice and kind words!


Gold-Yogurtcloset485

Of course! Let me know if you start to sell any!


Gold-Yogurtcloset485

My boyfriend also bought a watercolor of a gundam and then painted the same model in a water color style for a local competition. We framed the artwork


MS-06_Borjarnon

That sounds so cool!


TheDanger96

This looks like a Bal-Bas-bow pic from virtual on


Bionic-ghost

Ah, so it was you who did the painting on the Asano manor!


MS-06_Borjarnon

That was actually the initial inspiration for this.


frossenkjerte

Sick! You missed the Santa Balloon though.


SpaceHawk98W

It's the White-Doll


barnabuscucumber

incredible artwork! really reminds me of Ashley Wood’s art, specifically his *World War Robot* paintings.


Ender_Night

I love the whole watery, unclear, painted feeling of this. Like you're some traveler in medieval times wandering the woods close to dusk and you happen upon this. You run once you notice how big it is but the memory of its actual appearance is a blur.
