Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

I appreciate that bro. The stubble on Indy takes a lot of work to pull off, a good bit of layering and working with powders. His facial hair was light brown and the light played on it a bit making it look even lighter. So it took a lot of research and trial and error to get it right.

I've seen a lot of figure paint jobs where it ends up almost looking like a beard and it shouldn't.

Great paint apps DA

Good looking work... that repainted SIM is a work of art

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Here are some pics, as promised. The Iron Man figure is a work in progress, making him battle damaged. Should be done this week on that one. The Anakin heads just need details, the Indy heads just need hair and eyes.

Sined's Jason figures just need the heads dremeled, which is the most laborious work. They also need final weathering and for the holsters and masks to be made. Oh, and eyes.

Dront's Reese. Needs coat final weathering, shotgun finishing, head detail painting and he is ready to go. This week I should be able to get it done.

The SIM pics show some sealer dust, so I will go over it with cleaner to get that off of it. Other than that, he is ready to go.

The rest of the stuff is various in work items that are pretty close.

Josh, the SIM looks amazing. Is cleaning the Sealer dust hard to clean? Let me know about the shipping ASAP. Can't wait to see it in person. Josh don't forget to take off the red paint on his chest emblem, that part do light up. Thanks

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

No kidding. Was just at my brothers and admiring his Indy PF. After looking at your work, the factory paint apps just dont cut it. Too bad your retiring man but I can understand why. Business kills art. And you are one HELL of an artist!

Not at all, should be a quick process.

And don't worry about the light up areas, I taped them all off before I painted to make sure they didn't get touched.

Thanks also CK, I really appreciate the kind words bro.

And Prax, thanks man.. I really wanted to get them done for you. They are very very close to being done.

Thanks man.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

First - thanks for update. It's good to take a look at them.
I have two questions.
1) Will it include the second head?

The deal was about figures with two heads.

2) Will they be big & bulky like the one you showed when I ordered this figures? Right now they don't look so.

From what I have seen - here is my offer - I can pay you additional cost (we can discuss details via PM) & you will change one of them for your figure. To be honest - I understand that this are not finished, but after I saw this - I can't believe that they will look as great as the one you demonstrated as a sample of a finished product. I would like, that at least one of them was that I expected it to see.
Think about it - I think it's fair & good offer for you. You can do yourself a better one later, I won't need to wait anymore, I will pay you additional $$$.
And of course - I will pay you for shipping again. It's not a problem.
Think about it & let me know. All the financial details - you can just PM me the additional price.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Josh, all I ask is to have my stuff before Dront and Sined. I will wait as long as that might take, but them coming in last and getting out first is not right buddy.
I wouldn't rush or refund them just to shut them up.
And Dront, Sined, it is my business and everyone elses as well. If two newbies think they can come in late to a LONG running thread and then push themselves out ahead of everyone else? Sorry Komrades, thats not the way it works.
As you can see Josh's work is well worth the wait, so sit back, shut up and wait your turn with the rest of us. If thats not an option for you, do it anyway. You both should have read the thread before involving yourselves and not expected anything above and beyond what others were experiencing.
As for the amount of your private mono-a-mono deal. i don't care. Not if it was $1 or $1,000,000.
You came in last.
You should go out last.

Hi Josh,

This is not a custom just a box standard Hot toys Dutch Exc I did you a favour not letting Paypal take it from you directly, so at least let me have my money back now.

Cheers
Dom

I know Dom, I hate continuing to leave you hanging like this. I am trying to come up with the money. If I don't have it by early Mar, I will pull funds from my financial aid money if I have to. I just haven't been fiscally able to refund that large a sum for some time now.

I still am very pissed at the post office I go to for losing the information and basically leaving me without anything to prove that I even mailed it in the first place. It's maddening.

And Sined, my original figure is long gone. I don't have that available, and it's next to impossible to get another FVJ body to cannibalize to use for him. The jacket yours will come with is the original jacket, and I will pad the hell out of the body to give it bulk. I picked a body that is taller than any other standard body on the market, so that will help as well. But I have no other options available to me to make him taller.

And Steve, I fully understand that Dront and Sined have no right to get their stuff first. Their stuff is very close to being completed, and won't take much work on my part... and primarily it will shut them up. I don't like doing it at all, but to continue listening to it for months will do nothing but piss me off and everyone else as well...

But after I am done with their stuff, I am doing the work in order from here on out. Oldest commissions first, at least those on my list for completion and not just mail backs.

And for those who say that I am just a whiner who pretends to have this crazy life, just to avoid my responsibilities. Screw you all. Yesterday... only ONE day in my life. I found out that my Aunt is waiting to die in a hospital in SC, and my Wife had another seizure at 6 am this morning. Oh... but screw all that "real life" stuff, I have crap to paint.

Just shut up.
Who do you think you are? You stupid clown. I'm talking with Josh & I was polite. I was only interested in update AFTER A YEAR WITHOUT ANY UPDATE, then Josh provided some info & now you are flaming me, because I was the one who get this update???! You are the one that made this thing personal.
Keep waiting for nothing or communicate WITH JOSH! Stay out of another people. Concentrate on your private deal with Josh & stay the ^^^^ away of my order & my or anybody else business with Josh & STOP CALLING another people "little girls" & STOP TELLING another people such things as "shut up" & etc.
Hell, where is the moderators? Nobody seen that this clown flaming another people when they just want an update for they're orders??!!
What the hell is going on here?

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Hey Josh, have you changed your mind from your post from a month or so ago, where you said that you would just mail people the unfinished parts? Are you now planning on finishing things up, or will you only be doing that for people who don't have much left to do? Thanks.

I'm going to finish anything with skin tones already painted on, those at the very least. And any mostly completed figures. Anything that hasn't even been started I am probably going to send back, unless otherwise persuaded by the person who commissioned it.

Either way, this will no doubt be a long laborious process. I don't have much time these days, so I will only do what I can when I can.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Understood. Thanks for the update, and I hope things get better for you.
