The trouser look great but something seems off about the head, it's placed far too much to the left move it right a little if you can. Head looks clean and is a good way to start off before you learn methods on how to make it more plastic. Good job bro once you get the hang of this you'll be great at these.

Thanks for the reply. Sucks I can't say the same for the other 86 viewers.

Looks really good. Like MJH said the head placing is a little bit off but it's not too much of a problem. All I can suggest to use is using the blur tool on a low % to just go over the whole face. Do it manually and dont over do it. Just use the tool until it is smooth and doesn't show any skin marks or dark spots. Then you can always try the lighting but thats pretty risky for a first figure. I would try the blur tool though, just for practice. It's just worth a go. Nothing to loose.

I did zoom in and blur the skin. I tried to not blur the eyes, eyebrows, and mouth. I probably should of did it some more but like you said, I didn't want to over do it. Thanks for the reply.

The attire is great! as been said that the head is placed a bit far to the left but thats nothing. For a 2nd figure its a great figure. The head could do with more work, but you will pick it up over time. You could try using dielawns tip thats in the WPF Info Hub. If you keep at these you will pick it up quick and your figures will turn great. If you can do a clean good figure like that for your 2nd, you can deffinatly be one of the top guys if you joined WPF.

I read some of his tips and used some of them on this figure. I didn't really know how I could get Ted's hair plastic looking because I don't think Jakks has made a figure that has hair like that. Thanks for the reply.

For the hair what i do is.

Select the hair> Copy and paste it so its a new layer > Desaturate the hair > Use the dodge tool to add the lighting in areas to go with the head> colour.

It works well sometimes, when you get the hang of it.

for hair go over with overlay not colour, colour only really works for light stuff and hair is usually dark so use overlay.
