I love the bloodwork on the Bond! Very cool. Also like the Dead 560. What clothes did you use on him?

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

What do you use as sealer? I have done some minor painting and would like it to be permanent.

By the way I love that Craig Bond.

Dude, THAT Craig is just sickness, totally ILL, Bro. Love it.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks a lot Paul, I had a blast working on that. I cut straps from the Aliens USCM ammo bags I had laying around and wasn't going to use, so I cut them and made suspenders for Bond, to match closely enough to the reference shots I had...

Thanks Rory! I use Model Master Acryl gloss and flat clear for my sealers.

Thank you very much Master Marc. I used a gray suit from Ebay for the 560 and the stock pants. I just brushed light gray on the pants to get them light enough to work. I bloodied the hell out of the shirt and voila... close enough!!

That picture right there is a perfect example of just how talented you and the other artists on this board are. It looks like a real person standing next to a toy. Brilliant work.

WOW Josh - that Craig Bond is f'n FANTASTIC!!! Most excellent work there....that just may be my favorite of all the figures you have customized. Simply awesome!!! Got my Bale head in....I'll be contacting you after the new year about The Machinist.

As I posted in the "other" thread... You'll have to losethe belt... The Rules of Wearing A Suit state; it's either one or the other when it comes to belts and suspenders! James Bond kills, thrills and breaks hearts & the rules all the time, but those rules are definately sacred to him.

Love that custom though!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Hey DA, what ever happened to your origins Kurgan project?

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Hey DA, what ever happened to your origins Kurgan project?

Well, it's always something I think about. But really, it was just too big for me at the time. Still something I would like to accomplish, but maybe when I can sculpt a bit better. Kurgan deserves more.

I know the feeling Glenn. Personally I use Model Master Acryl for all skin tones and such, I sometimes use the cheaper Apple Barrel stuff for hair and dirt (washes). And thanks for the praise man, from you that really means a LOT to me.

Thanks Grange! And especially for the tip. I had no idea! Consider the belt gone.

Thanks a million Jen! It's one of my favorites too! Thanks to Andy's amazing artistry I was able to make it. A lot of credit goes out to him for making it happen.

Wow.... Thank you so very much man. Comments like that make my day, I love customizing... And it is always my goal to have my figures live up to SSC's and Hot Toys standards. It's even better when I can surpass them.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Between Andy's sculpting, and your painting, that is one of the most life-like 1/6 heads I've ever seen, utterly fantastic Josh, great work.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Best Bond paint job I've seen. That looks fantastic.

 

[DarkKnight2k4]

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks man! I really love my Predator, can't wait to tackle the Pred 2 Elder when it comes. As for the mask, it doesn't mess up the paint apps at all. That sealer works wonders, you have to come at it with something pretty harsh to damage it.

Tonight I finished my "Stairwell Fight" Bond, Almost finished a Wolverine for Venny and am coming ever closer to getting these Obi Wan heads finished and out of my sight. lol

Also finally took pics of my "cheater" Spooktacular edition 560.

:chew:chew

Simply Amazing Josh ! WOW !

I am so happy to see how that came out ! Def not a cheat on the SS Spook, but an improved version ! I am a very happy camper. I can't wait for the next one !

And that Bond !!!! Dude... that is far superior than anything out there... if SSC could meet that quality it would be a different world.

You are an awesome talent.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Magnificent paints Josh!

That Craig is inspired!

I see you did what we discussed with his eyes. Especially after he exerts himself, that way the blue glows a bit due to the red eye thing he gets.
SUPER! And only you would do the bloodied version!

Astounding work!

 

[Voorhees27]

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Josh, My God is that Craig custom absolutely stunning, bro, this is your BEST work yet!!! A+++ all day long, take a bow man!!!!

P.S. Mr. Connery is lookin' sweet dude!

 

[DarkArtist81]

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Big thanks to everyone and the astoundingly kind words about my Bond. It really was one of the most fun figures I have ever made and a lot of love went into creating it.

Here is Vennys finished Wolverine sculpt on a donor body (mine), and Pix Asajj sculpt on another one of my personal figure bodies. Sad thing is, I like the one I did for him better. I might have to redo mine now.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Awesome work DA. I just LOVE the little veins on her head. Can't wait to see it in person!

Thanks Pix! The veins were a LOT of fun to pull off. As was the skin tone. You will see it a lot better in person, I took great care to make it sickly pale and not so much pure white or gray.

Now to get Han finished and Faramir!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

If Faramir gives ya any more trouble just-a-slap him around. You have my permission.
