Description
This isn't so much as art, but more of a photo retouch. I took a photo of one of my children's Transformers and tried to make it look a bit more realistic by adding weathering, rivets, scratches and such.Related content

Wow, very impressive. I can't believe it's not a 3-D render! Excellent work

At first I wasn't sure if it was a touch up photo, a photo by itself, or just digital art (or computer art like the live action) I was so confused ... until I read your description. -facepalm-

Bwaaaahaaaa! Yes, I have 4 boys under 7 years old so it didn't take long for those to fall off. That's funny that I didn't even notice. I should have wondered what that circle there was for. I actually think that the other side might have been there because it is still on the toy as I type.

Sweet mother of pearl, Dan-o!! That is sa-weeeeet! 
This is exactly why I don't post a pic of myself, too. People would think you added weathering and scratches to it, when it's really what I look like!

Thanks! Is it weird that I thought "I have to take a picture of my son's toy... and paint on it?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome! And, no...what's weird is that you only did Lugnut after you saw how awesome it turned out! More! More! Or, better still...how's about a battle scene with a couple of them going at it?!
If you do that, be careful. If you set up too many different poses to get that perfect shot, it counts as playing with your son's toys. Get your own!

that looks waaaay cool. great work. if i hadn't read your description i would have thought it was a full 3D render.

Thanks! I would love to make a 3D render of it, but there are way too many parts to it. I am sure with my short attention span, I would find it years later in a directory with other projects that I didn't finish.

I might actually have bought the Lugnut figure if it looked like this.

McFarlane should make transformer toys. They would look like this, then break when you move it.

{mock sarcasm} Move it?!! don't you know that McFarlane toys are made exclusively to be used as display items?!!
Get the Voyager class ROTF The Fallen figure; that would look awesome if touched up like this.
