I've been really slacking as of late, with a lot of personal stuff going on (my cat put to sleep, my mom was in the hospital, etc. etc.) but this is the current commission piece that I'm working on.
This customer approached me via ebay to do a repaint/rework of a Microman Predator figure. I didn't have any of those, had never even seen one. But he sent one to me with the instructions to "make him different from the rest". I wasn't really sure what I could do... but then when I started working on him, I got a million ideas all at once, lol. The figure itself was pretty damn awesome. The paintjob on him, on the other hand, was not. So the first thing I did was split him up and started the repaint. I painted the skintones with several shades of tans and browns and several washes over a base coat of "undead flesh" of all things... it just seemed like the right choice. And IMO it was. I also removed the original chest armor plate, as I looked at it after painting it just still looked like every other Predator figure. I had to fill in a hole in his chest where the armor snapped on and sculpt the musculature on that area to make his chest appear complete. I still have a LOT of work that I want to do. I haven't started modding/painting the unmasked head, and it looks pretty silly IMO so that will have to get done. I also stripped the chrome finish off of all the weapons that he had in the package and repainted those with a silver finish paint, and still need to do some detailing on them.

A few more pics since they won't all fit into a single post... stupid pic rules!! lol
With the original, unaltered helmet - not a perfect match, so I may end up re-painting that to match the armor colors. The helmet cast with the spikes starting to be applied.

I was happy with my MM Pred as it was, but you are doing a spectacular job customizing so far my friend.
