Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

But it's coming, I really need to move some of this old stuff out.

And I for one, CANNOT WAIT !!!!! :chew

I have space on my shelf just waiting in angst.
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Can't wait either. I'm sure it'll be a weight off your shoulders when you don't have so many different things to return.
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Quigon, how did you achieve the lighting in that pic? It looks very good!

Well, I have to be honest, Justin, it takes thousands of dollars worth of lighting and diffusing equipment, and at least a hundred man hours to do it right.... and since I don't have either of those, I went with this:
hanchewlight.jpg


Yes, a simple man and his 60 watt incandesant w/ red shade. Nothin' better than doin' it on the cheap!

Han has a bit of a sheen on him from the finish coat/sealer. If you light him from the front with too strong a source, the shine will take off. This was the mistake I made in the first few shots I took of him and posted on this thread. I used the same trusty lamp, but without the red shade and light source in front of the subject. The way to eliminate the shine is to diffuse the light (see red shade above), and bathe the subject in the softer light by positioning him to the side, but actually underneath the shade. Presto! The light and shadow bring off the incredible likeness Josh acheived with the repaint.

Thanks for the comments from you, Superdoug, and of course The Man himself - and anyone I've left out. It really makes me feel proud (even prouder) to own this piece when you post your compliments!
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Well, I WAS going to post pics last night... :banghead

My computer died last night, I haven't been able to boot it up since then. I fear that it is completely lost now, I might have to get another hard drive or another computer altogether. Seems like there is some crazy Custom Artist computer virus out there...first Les, now me. :lol

I'm cancelling a few FlexPay PF's, so I can afford to get what I need. I should have an update soon. For now, I will just have to use the computer center at school. I will still be shipping stuff out tomorrow, so the finished items will go out ASAP. Thanks for your understanding guys.

Sorry to hear bro. With computers it could be anything these days.
 
Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks guys... I sent it to a friend to have the hard drive wiped and reset, so I should have it next week. Also, since I have no computer... I don't have many distractions.. :lol

And with next week being Spring Break, I have nothing to do but sit at home and paint my ass off. So expect a lot of movement and a LOT of finished stuff being shown off once the computer is finally back. Thanks for everything guys, as always... :duff

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Just talked to the man himself. He is working REALLY hard to get back online, and is working on your stuff too.

Side note: He is coming up to Georgia again for a couple of days, but not to party, but to help me and me help him with some sidebar stuff. I am planning a sale, and he is gonna help me sort and clear out some boxes of my stuff, and we are both gonna do some serious work jam time, painting our heads/figures and whatnot, feeding off each other's creative energies as it were, while he is here. So be assured he will be working (as will I) during his brief stay.
While he is here, I will let him check his emails and post, and if possible, post pics, so maybe you will get an update direct soon. That's Wed through Friday of this week.

Hang tight guys, the DA is on the case! :rock
