Pretty sure I wanna do it but I cannot do photoshop.
Any of the stock photos of baby blue and it can be half assed as long as it’s represented well enough.
Thanks:-)
Gave it a super quick and dirty try on Pixlr online editor:



Not perfect by any means but it think it's obvius it would look great.
Eye in the picture is a total cheat however since it would be next to impossible to repaint due to its multi layer nature. The outer transparent layer could be painted over of course but then you would lose depth and therefore wouldn't look as good as the original.

Yea. I think you can get away with the eye, it looks fine. The "blue" armband would have to be removed too, or at least redone so it says a different name or number.

This is great thank you:-)

I think this confirms that I want to do it!

I thought about the eyes too but actually with this paint scheme I think the original Baby Blue eyes will kinda blend in being the yellowish/goldsmith/brownish hues.


I appreciate it!!! Now I just gotta work on find someone willing and able to do it.

Need some referrals please.....

Speaking of "yellowish/goldsmith/brownish hues", i'd closely follow what Chronicle did on the 1:1 bust. They really nailed the tone by going with the proper SWS approach, unlike what i posted.

I would, but i'm afraid it'd take forever and be extremely expensive.

If i were you i'd try to contact Oskar Ankarudd, he's behind this repaint/retouch:



And i know he did the same on a customer's 1:5 bust.

Looks like he is in Sweden. Can’t really find much besides Instagram which I don’t use.

Prefer to find someone stateside if I can.

I remember stumbling on someone who think was in this group. Not 100% sure tho. I remember Instagram and Facebook links to posts of what I think were original molds or 3D scan molds of the Rex bust and a few other JP things. Pretty sure he is stateside but I can’t for the life of me remember who.

So I’m either gonna completely remove the 2nd Blue’s nametag (one on the left of the table) because it’s completely plyable. Probably vinyl.

Or I’m thinking maybe just leave the nametag and have it repainted yellow or red with the original JP colors and rename it Baby Clever Girl or just Clever Girl.

Thoughts??? Leanin more towards the renaming idea personally.

Vick, you mind working your photoshop skills on this picture? Blue on the left side redone how you did the last pic. Please:-)
Thanks

Anyone have any other Stateside referrals for someone to repaint my Baby Blue?

I haven't had any luck finding someone who has the time to do this.
