Some months ago I was requested to paint enother Sg. Connor's version based on my original one. I really don't like so much to do the same again and again, but if needed I do, but trying to add a different point to get 2 different miniatures. This time I wanted to went a bit far away in the blues treatement (a more complex version, but based on my Ultramarines painting tutorial you can read on my web) and improve the weakness the first version had (base and face).
Even more, I wanted to do a conversion to give it a slighty different taste so I choosed the coffe mug. Conversion looks easy but I had to cut the arm in 2 pieces and the leg in tree ones and later resculpt the joints. And by the way I removed the hair.
truth is that I was not sure I could improve the first one, but I'm plenty happy with this one, hope you like it too. In a few days I'll post all the WIP pics (some of them you can see in my facebook) and I'll explain a bit what I did.

Thank you Fra! And as I'm planning to enter it to MSS i think you'll be one of a few that could saw both live :)Neil Szabo AKA "Zab"
Good to see that coffee will still let us do stupid things with more energy even in the far flung future :P The paint is great as always, but the narrative and character you have added is what makes it stand out. Great creativity!Javier González; "Arsies"
Coffe is the most common unnoticed drug in the world, why shouldn't be in a chaotic decadent future? maybe with an extra ++++ caffeine!Luis G. Ibañez (luisg)

Pues parece que si la has mejorado bastante y mira que la anterior ya me dejo alucinando en su momento. Muy muy buena.Javier González; "Arsies"
Muchas gracias tio, al final parece que si! a última hora antes de pintar la cabeza creía que me iba a quedar corto, pero parece que el efecto de las luces del cuello le dio el puntito que faltaba :DJason Zhou
Wow, really nice work. This version is so cool! Like it a lot.Jay Martin (Redrum)
Incredibly it is better than your first version from 2011 which was one of the first pieces that drew me to your work, think I read about it in Scale Model Handbook 5 by Mr Black, GOLD!!Javier González; "Arsies"
yeah, I wrote an article for SMH (not sure wich number) some time ago. And since that I keep writing for them sporadically; I think another article is ready for number 15th, not sure :) Thank you for remember my previous one, it's amazing to see how much people can remember it 4 year after!Sergio Torregimeno
gold again and again! congrats!François-Xavier "Fx" HUET
