Painting prints

 My son has been asking for modified action figures that look like his favorite five nights at Freddy's characters. (Hes 5 so he hasn't played the game, he just likes how they look)

So I downloaded the models, sculpted them onto the existing action figures, and got some acrylic markers to paint them.

This is the base model all the other characters are built on. I just used blender to bolt on other models, or sculpt into shape.

My first attempt, I basically just copy pasted the characters' head (his name is Monty) onto the original robot. I also added a guitar from another model.

He loved it, but asked if I could make the legs and arms rounded on the next one. So I used blender and manually moved vertices to make the corners more rounded. This is Freddy.

This was great, but not rounded enough... So my next model, I basically just modeled from scratch and only kept the original joints so it would still work as an action figure. This one is called Puppet

Now these are starting to look better...

Here is what puppet looks like in the actual game: 

Next was a character with similar rounded arms, but he had baggy pants for legs, so I sculpted these from scratch as well.

This character has an "alternate" personality that I made a second version for as well.

I really like this process not only because I'm getting better, but also specifically because I'm getting better in front of him. He gets to see each version getting better and better, and it's showing him that anyone who is good at something, started way worse than where they are now, and its a slow process you have to keep up with.
