Hand Painted
Our hand painted 2D figures capture the essence and vibrant energy of the beloved series. Each brushstroke is meticulously applied, bringing iconic characters like Goku, Vegeta, and Bulma to life with vivid colors and dynamic poses. This traditional technique adds a unique, personal touch that digital reproductions can't replicate, highlighting the artist's individual style and dedication to their craft.
Detail Oriented
These figure repaints are exceptionally detail oriented, showcasing the intricate designs and distinctive features of each Dragon Ball character. From the fine lines of Goku's spiky hair to the elaborate textures of Vegeta's armor, every element is carefully rendered. Artists pay close attention to the subtleties of facial expressions, muscle definition, and clothing folds, ensuring each piece captures the authenticity and spirit of the anime.
Various Styles
Our figure repainting's of Dragon Ball characters come in various styles, reflecting the diverse interpretations of different artists. Some may adopt a more realistic approach, emphasizing anatomical accuracy and realistic shading, while others might lean towards a more stylized, cartoon-like representation that captures the exaggerated expressions and movements typical of anime. This variety allows collectors to choose pieces that resonate with their personal aesthetic preferences.
Bespoke Approach
Each hand painted figure is a bespoke creation, tailored to reflect the artist's vision and the collector's desires. This custom approach means that no two paintings are exactly alike, offering a unique piece of art that is personalized and special. Collectors often collaborate with artists to incorporate specific elements or scenes, resulting in a highly individualized artwork that holds special significance.
Carefully Treated
These characters are carefully crafted, with artists dedicating considerable time and effort to ensure high quality and precision. The process involves multiple stages, from underpainting to detailed brushwork and finishing touches. Our artists use high-quality paints and materials to achieve vibrant colors and lasting durability, creating a piece that is both visually stunning and enduring.
Extra Protection
To preserve the beauty and longevity of our hand painted 2D figures, our artists often add an extra layer of protection. This might include varnishing the finished piece to protect it from dust, UV light, and other environmental factors. This protective layer not only enhances the vibrancy of the colors but also ensures the artwork remains in pristine condition for years to come.
Collector Items
The repainted figures are highly sought after collector items, prized for their artistry and uniqueness. Collectors value these pieces for their connection to the beloved anime series and the craftsmanship involved in their creation. As limited edition or one-of-a-kind artworks, they hold significant investment value and sentimental importance, making them cherished additions to any Dragon Ball fan's collection.
The Repainting Process
Step 1
Preparation and Priming
The first step in creating a 2D Dragon Ball figure is preparation and priming. We start by thoroughly cleaning each figure to remove any dust or oils that could interfere with the paint's adhesion. This step ensures a smooth surface, allowing the paint to adhere properly and last longer. Once cleaned, the figure is carefully primed with a base coat, which serves as the foundation for the subsequent layers of paint. The primer is crucial as it enhances the vibrancy and durability of the colors, setting the stage for a flawless finish.
Step 2
Detailed Hand-Painting
The second step involves the meticulous process of detailed hand-painting. Our talented artists use premium acrylic paints to apply vibrant, precise colors to the figure. This stage is where the character truly comes to life, with artists focusing on capturing the unique features and expressions that make each Dragon Ball character iconic. The attention to detail ensures that every muscle, hair strand, and costume element is accurately represented, making each figure a miniature masterpiece.
Step 3
Sealing and Finishing
The final step is sealing and finishing the repainted figure. After the paint has completely dried, a protective sealant is applied to preserve the artwork and add a glossy or matte finish, depending on the desired look. This sealant not only protects the paint from chipping and fading but also enhances the figure's overall appearance, giving it a polished, professional look. The figure is then carefully inspected to ensure it meets our high standards of quality before being packaged for delivery.
