Yes but it's easier to with something that has mostly geometric shapes with straight edges. On curved surfaces you can't really define where the "outline" of the cell is.

Hrm i see im planning on making it sort of like display set up so only 1 side can be shown. What technique is used for painting in cellshade? Do i have to worry about shadows ,ect?

>>6249153
I dunno i also seen some cosplay videos where they achieve the cellshading effect on clothes. Do you think this can be replicated on toys?

Maybe something similar, these came out recently. They replicated the ink shading of the original comic.

Wow that looks great i wonder how it would look at different angles

>>6249182
Here's where it came from.

I get what you're asking OP, and it would be similar to what people who paint miniature figures for games do by accentuating the highlights and shadows of the figure's paint job, only on a bigger scale.

It could certainly be done, but as somebody stated earlier you'd really only be able to pose it one way and have the effect still work. You'd have to figure out where your light source would be coming from and use that as a guide for painting.

cont

Can you post a pic of the figure?

>>6249194

Yeah, OP, you should ask around the WIP threads on >>>/tg/

They can probably help you out with different techniques.

>>6249199
OK, so you're going for 1/6 scale with real cloth then. That's a bit harder than just painting up a regular figure.
Yeah, Maybe looking up artwork cosplay or something and see what you can find. What they used on the materials and such.

or >>>/cgl/

>>6249203
I found a few tutorials on how to paint the clothes but im not sure on how to paint toys thats why i figured to post here

>>6249202

He's some Cell Shading done to a Gundam Model. I'd look it up. They were able to make it look good at all angles. Just look it up in google. There's a couple of different pictures.

I really like that happy face

>>6249160
I honestly think that looking as cel shaded cosplays would be the best way to find where you apply line and colours to give it that effect.
I'm pretty sure there are even cosplays of that character that can be used as a base to go from.

>>6249263
Cell shading IRL is weird because you have to take into account your fictional lighting in the real world.

>>6249245
Those look amazing. Damn now im not sure i have enough skill to cellshade mine

>>6249291
Idk how you'd even do it. It's not like your using colored pencils or some shit.

>>6249263
Agree, best might be to look up cosplays.
There are Archer ones, but Borderlands ones are a good inspiration too.

>>6249245
This looks so fucking cool. Really trippy too, because in some angles you really need to force your eyes to accept that you are looking at a 3D piece, painted to look 2D.

This thread reminded me that there was an Archer line in development that was never released. Probably for the best.

>>6249395
Holy fuck that looks awful, prototype or no.

>>6249395
Hah. And I thought the venture bros figures were meh.

Yes, it's possible and been done several times.
No, there is not a tutorial how to do it. You need to just look up references and start painting.

Those were released, at least Tux Archer Exclusive was. They do look terrible. I still kind of want one.

>>6249395

Archer figures should revive the old Simpsons toyline with the playsets and voice chips.

>>6249181
Yaranaika?

I might have to scrap my original idea about is using a 1/6 figure. Is there any other spy james bond ish figures that arnt too expensive?

I think they look fine, the bad blood predator is even better.
