Hot Toys Superman Returns - repainted

Here's the head from the Hot Toys Superman Returns figure, which I was sent to repaint and try to get a better Brandon Routh likeness from it. I honestly didn't know how this would turn out, as I always thought the likness was a bit rubbish... the figure just didn't look like him.

I did my best though to use some sneaky painting to try to change the visual shape of the face, changing the shape of the eyebrows, the lips, the shading on the cheeks and skin, the hairline, and the eyes.... and I was really surprised with myself that it actually looks like him now!!

This is the first of many for a particular good customer of mine (Robert DeNiro is coming up next) and I'm really pleased with how it turned out in the end. Can't wait to show the rest. Hope you like it :)
