Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

How are the Jokers coming along Josh?

btw You should receive payment soon for the shirt. Sorry, just been so busy lately. My posts have dropped dramatically even. I doubt I hit 7,000 by January of 2009.

They are coming soon I hope! The shirts will be getting made here soon, recently heard about them. I'm hoping this weekend to get more work done on that front, like last weekend's ROY fun.

and SEAN! HOLY HELL!! I'm so happy! What do you think??

Amazing Sean (and Josh)!

One day later and it would have brought another meaning to 9/11.

Sorry I didn't speak up last night, I got home at almost midnight, had to watch the Sox try to win in the 14th inning , but to my delight when I got home there was a box waiting for me. Cracked that sucker open and as always, the "wow" factor kicked in. I'm blown away, especially by the weathering on the jumpsuit, it's insane, and one of the first things I did was look at him from a profile, and yup, the back of the jumpsuit has that exact fold we talked about, I really think Saturday toys had to have modeled this suit for Michael Myers with all the matching details, or maybe it's just ^^^^ luck that their suit has them, either way. Your paint work on the mask and hands is insane, the detailing and weathering, so much subtlty, can't look at it without knowing and seeing the time and care put into it. The eyes work out great, from some angles they remind me of H2 when you see his eyes in the mask just after Laurie shoots him, and there's this subtle look of torment in them from some angles, and others it's pure rage. Of all my figures this is the least new looking of any of them, dude looks like he's been around the block and the small detail work on the heels that you and I talked about, very realistic looking, as someone who frequently does that to his own pants, I can say the ripping and dirtying is very realistic. You did a great job on this, and of course, the knife rocks too. I love how you got just the blood to be glossy and wet looking.

Everyone waiting on a Myers from Josh, bear with him, however long it takes, your patience will most definitely be rewarded. Michael Myers may be a simple design at his core, but the detail work that the average Halloween viewer could take for granted is poured into this figure and makes all the difference in how cool or ordinary this figure would look. Josh and I have spoken on several occassions about all the little factors that go into Michael and he know his ^^^^ and he's putting that knowledge into making these figures look their best, but quality like that won't happen quickly, and for your figure's sake you're not going to want him to force getting the detailing done, let it flow from him and you'll be glad you gave him his time on them.

Man , I can't wait for it now !!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks a million, Sean! I'm just happy that it's there and that you love him. It's my favorite character, my favorite personal custom, and I do try to make him the best I can. And he certainly is the most heavily weathered figure I have ever done, that jumpsuit has certainly been through HELL!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks for all the support guys, it's been a ROUGH week on the school front. I have written 4 papers and have to finish 2 more tonight. So I haven't been able to touch my brushes for days now. But tomorrow is the last day, I have Fri, Sat and Sun to make up for it.... so expect more soon.

That is a lot. I know you will do well. Like we said, we support you and this is all worth it in the end.

Just keep me up there on the list

LMAO

Speaking of which, do I still owe you for the Joker shirt ?

Nice shots, MaulFan, especially that second one.

I'm so glad I was able to get in on this run of Michaels. It's unbelievable that such an iconic character like Michael Myers has been shown so little attention in 1/6 form over the years, but he's now finally been done justice. I can't wait for him to come to my little town.

I think the sequels are somewhat responsible for that. I'm not too familiar with the fandom, but it seems like Freddy and Jason's sequels were more enjoyed, until the last couple, so there was more support. Most Halloween fans stand behind 1 and 2 and then the support fades a lot from 3 (shouldn't even count since it's not Michael and it's his series now) on through 8 and of course now Rob's take, which got NECA's attention, so did Carpenter's for that matter, but outside of NECA there's hardly anything put into Halloween. Hell I'd love a Halloween dio as part of Sideshow horror dio line but probably won't happen.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

yeah , Halloweens sequels don't have as much punch as Freddys and Jasons but I still enjoyed them really. But then again I loved indy 4 and no one else seemed too ..

I like sideshow so much for many reasons but one of them is sometimes they don't seem bothered if something doesn't sell out. No... what I mean is , it isn't there number 1 priority.
There number 1 main concern is to produce a fantastic peice.
Thats why I'm surprised there have been no Myers dios. Horror seemed to put sideshow on the map in the first place.

Either way this Myers is fantastic and the photos looks awesome Shaun.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

holy crap !!!. Thats awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW !.
I love the right side of his face. The red is an awesome touch.

Shaun do you mind telling me what font that is ?. It would be really appreciated !.

 

[MaulFan]

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Where I downloaded it from, it's called Disturbing Behavior, I get a lot of fonts from freebie sites that just make up random names, seen the same fonts under multiple names before, like Terminator 2 fonts. Hope that helps.
