Oh that's nice.
Just to note I don't see why you needed to check the "is adult/ecchi" box though...

Very nice astrea, I wish i could make gundams looks so good, I suck at art so I never tried painting my gundams, too scared that I might screw it up =P.

Great work on both kits.  The picture itself is a little bland though.  Would've been nice to see them posed more dynamically.

Did you use sprays? If so, what colour did you use for the light purply-blue parts on Destiny's Sword? And also what green did you use for his Big gun? (sorry, I can't remember the names of his weapons!) Thanks =]

I was tempted to ask.. What paint did you use? Use any putty for the seem lines? And finally, what brand of markers are those?

Nice work. The red details on Astraea are an especially nice touch.

Why you don't move the foot upwards a bit? it looks like the gundam is left hanging there... -_-

thanks for the comments everyone! i will post more pics soon with more dynamic poses haha :) my phone is nokia N95 8GB so the camera is pretty good.

i used an air brush, no putty at all, in close up pics ull probably see some seam lines. i use tamiya water based paints and i usually just use gundam markers but for the red on exia i used an art pen but i dont remember what its called, something like micro...its made in japan and its a like beige color.

im not artsy at all, u just need some practice and some spare cash laying around and a lot of free time haha. these are the 4th and 5th gundams ive painted.

ummm for the blue, i used white and added a bit of sky blue into it with some flat base because tamiya only makes the sky blue in glossy. and for the gun, i think the color is called cockpit green.

im kinda busy with university right now but i will post more pics very soon, thanks everyone!!! :)
