Yay theme song is back!💜🎶💜🎶💜
@@jeremygovier6403 Lol every now and then
If I was an art critic, I would say that there are influences of Comics (DC/Marvel) and 80's animation in your art. But what do I know... thanks for sharing.
@@enderackham that would be a pretty astute observation.
Fun year of customizing right here bud!! Great stuff!
@@collectiblefun241 I appreciate that.
Amazing body and variety of work, my friend!

Great episode. And awesome outcome. Thank you 🥰🥰💜💜🥰🥰
Anytime brother
Amazing process to watch
Fun to do also
I’m late today 😢
A wizard is never early or late. They arrive precisely at the time they should.
I’ve used similar crackle paints for minis but I’m curious where this could be used in action figures. Maybe a lava shield or something similar?
Possibly an entire lava or toxic monster
Also - I like checking in on whether you would customize each figure and to what extent - that’s a cool angle.
Thanks. I thought that might add a different dynamic
Awesome list - and yeah - Steelheart is freakin awesome.
Right?
Now it’s time for Art with Akerman ☝️
It is
Interesting paint, thanks for sharing it Curtis.
My pleasure
used this stuff quite a lot wenn i played Warhammer, i plan to use it on one of the bigger space suits for Cosmic Legions from the next wave, to get an effect similar to old weathering paint that got cracks.
Love that idea
Your channel is very interesting. but Your videos have a very low SEO score. Several minor and major issues with RUclips channel customization can hinder your ability to increase views and viewership. If you are interested, I can help you.
Interesting. No idea what an SEO score is.
@@Art_by_Akerman🤔watch out.
Mezco King Conan and Junkyard Joe are definitely favorites of mine this year.

Aahhhhh he was faking it lol
@@Guaisaguey it’s a fake freeze
Letssss goooooo
@@Guaisaguey heck yeah
Nice choices Curtis! I enjoyed learning about the lines you're into besides those made by 4H. To answer your question yes, I often make small tweaks to my figures. I used to have a couple Legends Punishers, tidied up a fuzzy chest logo on one and fixed the hair on another. I also acquired the Knightfall Batman, excellent release but Medicom's capes could use some work. I put light amounts of Vallejo matt varnish on the outside points of the cape to prevent fraying, cleaned up the tips where the wires are secured. and somewhat reshaped the underside of the outside scallops. The varnish made the reshaping part pretty easy.
@@schlockdoc that’s an awesome idea with the varnish. Thanks!
Comment! 😁
@@IamTJWilliams Lol, thanks
Great episode!!
@@collectiblefun241 thanks
2:46 I was so happy I found them at Walmart 2 for $10. 1 for random nuts and bolts and the other one for random pieces from my Gundam kits
