Gotta disagree there, sorry. You’ve been around long enough to see Adam Gu’s work, no company came close to what he made in the past. He doesn’t sell his work anymore, but according to a really close friend who has seen his more recent sculpts he’s still unmatched when it comes to Ledger.
Nah, this could be more exciting to me.
I do...Nah, this could be more exciting to me.
But a one off by Adam is nothing to scoff at. And you do love your sculpts man
that's fine
But, what something is worth comes down to the individual. What's not worth it to one person will totally be worth it to someone else. Some ppl think paying the rumored like what $8-10k for one of Adam's sculpts is worth it. I certainly don't no matter how good it looks, but it doesn't matter what I think as I'm not the one buying it and I'm not the target audience for it.
Yeah, I’d never pick a reworked HT/InArt over Adam’s work. I mean it doesn’t get much better than this and this is something Adam made years ago.that's fine
To be clear, I'm not saying that there aren't better sculpts out there. I definitely know that there are better sculpts that do look amazing. Not disputing that one bit at all nor am I trying to come off as argumentative.
What I am saying is that none of them have made me not prefer to get the InArt/HT sculpts redone instead. They look incredible for sure, but I'd still prefer to have the official ones redone instead. I even saw a DX01 sculpt redone like a year or so ago that really brought it to its full potential with a great repaint and rooted hair. Again, it's not even close to being a perfect likeness, but I loved seeing it done so well.
I definitely understand the school of thought that nothing official will ever be good enough for some of you guys and that's totally fine. We all have our preferences
And, this is where we differ. I like the hair and paintwork on those sculpts, but I do not like the actual sculpts themselves at all really. The craftsmanship is nice and high caliber, but neither of those would be my end all be all Ledger sculpt, not by a long shot. I'd take those for free, but I wouldn't pay for those that you're showing here. I'd quite honestly display a redone InArt/HT sculpt over either of those (either by Heise or John). Might sound crazy to some of you guys, but neither of those sculpts are all that appealing to me. They look nice, but they aren't for me
That would’ve been nice to know. Changes my perception on it.
That does sound crazy to me. But that’s fine, I was already well aware people here think differently regarding this subject. Hence my inactivity on this forum.
Exactly. Thank you.
Definitely! Not disputing that at all. But, again, all comes down to personal preference. I've been around since Adam started doing his Ledger customs oh so long ago adding just a bit of hair to fully sculpted heads for that extra bit of realism at the time. The main one I remember back in the day was his party scene Joker where I think he even made the shrimp on a stick
He was definitely a head of his time though I think time has caught up with him and there are ppl equally as talented as him or at least close to it. I'm not trying to be combative though and say one is right or wrong. I would hope that this conversation isn't cause for getting defensive as I'm not trying to argue. Again, just sharing a preference. Nothing wrong with having different opinions on the matter at all
Hey man, I’m not the one who made a parody account like your buddy did. And you’re the one who’s getting your panties in a twist over an opposing opinion/perspective and because I laugh reacted…?
You didn’t direct this at Roan, did you? Well, I messaged Roan before they started it. Ugh, it comes off like we’re in a playground.
Well, I’m down to hash this out. Whatever this is.
