this is not my image, it was drawn by DaiGuard78 on deviantart.com
once I found the image again (I had saved it in a folder), I decided to try recoloring it to look more like how I wanted it to look on the real thing, and I ended up with this:
I started with some minor tweaks (mainly just recoloring) and then I ended up redrawing a couple parts
in the end I decided not to try and make a cloak for the kit (because it'd be too much of a hassle for me), and I decided to just leave it bare, I view it as being somewhat of a early version (maybe a prototype) of the original mobile suit (the original artwork), after it was finished I ended up with this:
I didn't use a flash in the images
I mainly used gundam markers to paint this kit except for the red parts which I used some citadel blood red to paint (because I don't have a red gundam marker), I left some parts unpainted as to break up the colors a little bit, I really like how it turned out, a really spooky looking gm which I find really hard not to stare at as it stands out among my collection, all in all I'm happy with it and I'm glad I decided to make it.
parts used:
body: gm cold districts type
head: rx-79 ground war set (the gm head)
hands: gm sniper 2
scythe: gundam deathscythe hell
