Prof. Jones

[JollyBob]

The thread about the new Indy movie got me thinking about a certain Professor of Ancient Studies that I put a brush to a few weeks ago:







And ready for action:



All comments and criticisms placed in a packing crate and locked in a warehouse while "top men" work on them.  :wink:

Excellent, I like what you've done there with the whip and the bag, I'm almost tempted to have a crack at it myself (pun intended).

[vikotnik]

I really have to agree! Excellent idea with the whip and the bag; :love: I have painted this one WITHOUT adding them. The paint job is just as good!!

Now my head keeps hitting the keyboard: 'So obvoius why, just why???'  :x

[JollyBob]

Thanks guys, I'm glad you think the additions work, as they represent the limit of my conversion skills.  ::

That said, the hardest thing about painting him was doing so many different shades of dark brown. It made me crave chocolate.  :mrgreen:

Not being familiar with the original figure I gather from the replies that you made the whip and bag, if so excellent work.

[Plynkes]

I like it a lot, though it does look kind of like Indy if he had been played by Vincent d'Onofrio rather than Harrison Ford.  


So what is the original figure that was converted? I don't recognise it.

[P_Clapham]

It's an Artizan thrilling tales Figure I think.  I've got the same one on my workbench too.

[Malamute]

Nice one Jolly Bob.  I like everything you have done. I always thought the original figure was missing something and now you have showed me what it was.
I love the painting, everything is spot on, especially the designer stubble

[JollyBob]

Thanks again all.  

Plynkes, I know what you mean, he's a bit fatter than the real Indy. In fact, when I posted him on Frothers, someone said he had Homer Simpson's face.  ::

And he is indeed from Artizan's Thrilling Tales line.

I really like this conversion - simple yet very effective.  Love the painting too, you''ve caught that weather beaten look very well.
