This guy was a project. Between a complete repaint, giving him just enough light colors to illuminate under light, keeping him close to the OG, and most importantly correcting his face, he was a labor of love.
On thing that stood out to me is his story. Getting lost in the woods coincidentally by his father who use to make him stay in the dark to break his fears, I wanting him to really represent that by making him look squinty, as light is now more of a burden being in the dark so much, honoring his name?.. Low-Light. All the above listed may sound easy, but it isnt. I wanted to add darkend greys , lighter greys, washed greys, and solid weapon colors . Built from the ground up, as well as all completely painted , Here is Low-Light Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr Untitled by Slice's Customs, on Flickr

A very nice representation of Low Light! Love the idea of taking his past of being in the dark all the time and causing his eyes to be delicate to sunlight and giving him squinting eyes as a result. My eyes are especially sensitive to sunlight therefore I have to wear shaded eye glasses, or sunglasses when I wear contacts on sunny days, but I don't think my situation is from being left in the dark like Low Light.
Love the colors and the fine details when it comes to your painting skills. Mad painting skills bro! |

Oh you can see the love put into this, the paint really adds a lot of values in the grayscale, & the photo with all of the weapons is ace!

Great figure ! I always viewed Low Light as a cold hearted bad ass. You caught that just right.
