This is the Clayburn Moore sculpt of Aspen Matthews as "Fathom," from the Top Cow comics, first released in the late 90s. It's in 6" action figure scale, about 1/13.
It's a beautiful sculpt, but I wanted to see if I could improve the paint scheme, at least the flesh tones. Most action figures as purchased have a very monochromatic, Barbie-doll kind of look, with no highlighting or shading.
I primed white right over her original paint (I did not bother with stripping it), airbrushed a base flesh color, and then went to work.
Her original armor looked too bright to me, for such a watery character. So I went for a blue-green metallic combination which seemed better.
The baby T-Rex is a Safari toy dino. The way her left hand was positioned, it looked like she needed a little animal friend. I didn't repaint the dino, just washed with several dark colors to make him a little less toy-like. I opted to leave off the weapon which could cover her right forearm.
I had a lot of fun with this project and will be trying the same thing with some Witchblade figures in the near future.
