Thanks man.... To even be in the same League as Les or Mikey is a huge honor. Here's hoping that in time I can live up to those words...

At any rate I am having a blast and can't wait to see what happens next!

Thanks RW! Means a lot coming from a fellow artist. This one took me a while. The sculpt is so smooth it's hard to find something in the face to give it depth and not just one solid skin color.

I'm really proud of it, can't wait to show it off in full daylight!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Amazing work Josh! I said it in the Supes thread, but it bears repeating! You really bring out the actors likeness in these sculpts! Both Medicom and Hot Toys have solid headsculpts... but its not until in your hands that they really shine!

Fan-****in-tastic work man!!!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks guys!! It really does make me feel good to hear that from you guys... Really does. This repaint was hard as Hell to get to where I liked it. Looked at Routh forever to get the eyebrows right. And I might still have to retouch the eyes... I need a new brush though..

Here.... as promised... pics in light... Most didn't turn out.. it's very overcast here today.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Most of the pictures didn't work out? What are you, Ansel Adams all of a sudden?

Josh, this is an amazing transformation. I see two things worth shouting about. One is the depth in the skin tone, which you've commented about.

The other is the placement of the irises. You've made some small adjustment, mostly I think in his right eye, that brings the likeness home. It's Routh. Wow.

Since you see something yet to retouch with a new brush -- tell us. What more do you plan to do?

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

THIS IS ROUTH INDEED....BEST REPAINT...BEST SCULPT.BEST SUPERMAN EVER.PERIOD.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Beautiful Josh! You're getting real life into those eyes. He "almost" looks like Reeves in a couple of those pics. Nice photography as well, I think. THe colors looks good. I really want one of these to go with Tak Bats.

Wow.... Thanks Gruff.... I think I just start to doubt myself when I see extreme closeups of my work... mostly when cropping these photos. The perfectionist in me wants to just fix every single thing until it's absolutely perfect in my mind.... The only problem is that it's impossible. Artists are always more critical of their own work, I guess...

I really do appreciate the comments though. Les taught me a bunch of fantastic methods that I applied to this repaint and the eyes were the most tricky. Everything else was finished and taken care of... and the eyes took me the better half of an hour to finish. I just sat there and stared at pics of Routh until I thought I had it and left it alone.

I set them looking just a hair to the left... That coupled with the eyebrow placement really set off the likeness IMO and made this repaint work. I'm just thankful now that it's done and on the shelf... And thanks mainly in part to you, Gruff. Thanks again for helping me there....
