I would have waited an eternity for this. It's over, Prime.


The figures don't have the articulation to pull off the poses from the screen capture. Optimus Prime doesn't have the hips to kneel nor enough upwards head tilt. His shoulders also don't butterfly forward. As usual, Apollyon's arms were always on the verge of falling off entirely. The gun barrel over his shoulder simply does not rest right next to his head from this angle.

My shooting space is somewhat limited so I had to shoot each figure individually. It was quite a bit of trial and error to get Apollyon to aim correctly, even with some Photoshop transformations.

I had to cover up a few screws on Apollyon, but from this angle Optimus Prime didn't need that treatment. The cracks were lifted directly from the source picture and blended onto the figure.

The sky is yet another cloudy summer day, shot with a Hoya FLW filter. The background is a field blur of a rock formation at Coyote Hills, using clone stamping to stretch it across the width of the picture.
