Customizing Tips and Tricks / Custom Clones - Clean or Dirty?
« on: September 11, 2005, 12:34 AM »
This is a two part question for all of you customizers and non-customizers alike.
a) When you see (or make) custom Clones, do you prefer clean ones or battle worn, dirty armor ones?
b) Is there such a thing as too much battle wear or weathering? Can it be overdone?
a) Me personally, I prefer looking at and making battle worn, dragged through the mud, haven't seen a refresher in weeks Clones. It just adds to the level of "realism" (if that's even possible, given that they are not real in any way, shape, or form). I just think it makes a figure look 10x better - if not more - to add some wash and weathering to it.
b) This is a tuff question to answer. I just did a quick wash on one of my #6 Clones as a "test" and I'm wondering if it's not too much. It looks like he's been in battle for weeks without cleaning his armor, and on the one hand I like it. But on the other hand, it almost looks like I tried to paint the armor a Gray color, and just did a bad job of it. I'll post a pic later tonight if I can, if not tomorrow.
What do you guys think?
