Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Unfortunately no, the only one I have ever had was the one I bought for my Hicks. I've painted a buttload of them, but only ever had the one. I'll keep an eye out for one though, I think I might be able to find you one....

Thanks Josh! If you do come accross one, I'd happily pay for it to get the DA touch too!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Just thought I'd share this...
Josh made it over safe and sound yesterday, he's crashed out in the guest room right now, so I feel I can sneak in and post this before our hanging out continues...(He's here for a couple of days...)


He brought a boatload of his work with him. About ten figures or so. Let me tell you guys....his stuff, seen in person, ROCKS!

His Russian girl from the Challenge, WICKED! Absolutely cool! Much cooler in person than in photos, and she looked cool in photos! She has so much character.

His Aragorn and Boromir...AWESOME! His Aragorn's eyes!!!...man, the fellow has worked hard and really done a superb job of making this guy just utterly kick some! Awesome stuff to see in hand!

His painted Shocktrooper...WOW! Those Medi figures kick serious a$$ anyway, but to see and hold one, after only having had Hasbro guys, and then as a Shock, well, let me tell you, there's nice old cars, and there's Ferraris, and that is one smoking Ferrari of a figure! His paint is superb!

His Zombie with the head dangling, too crazy man! You need to see it in person with it's soft, squishy brains...

There's other stuff, and I hope to get pics of them all and some combo shots with some of mine (His Russian with my Chicks!), so hang loose for more cool stuff soon.

But yeah, guys, Josh is rocking! He is doing some utterly amazing work. Proud to know him and be able to see his growth as an artist in person.

WOW Josh, Luke is looking awsome! I know your putting a lot of time and effort into him and it is greatly appreciated. Can't wait to see him in person, all this talk about how the pictures not doing your work justice is getting me even more excitied. I also see my Obi is looking great, seriously, just the small picture in your works in progress shot, he's looking fantastic. If you get a chance I'd love to see another shot of the two heads together with your new picture taking skills . Have fun with Les, and hope to hear from you soon

Thanks for the superb writeup Les.... it's an amazing feeling when your mentors love your work and hold it in high esteem. I feel very proud to have come this far, and all thanks to your help.

And guys... I just put up my Zombie on Ebay... bid away..

Here are some more in work shots of a Terminator I am doing for a forum member and the Frontline Miller....

Damn near finished, just a little bit more on the Miller and a good bit more on the Arnold.

Not only are those some great works-in-progress, those are some of the most flattering shots I've seen of your work!

FYI: The Obi head should be arriving soon.

Thanks guys! Yeah, Gollum is getting there, bit by bit...Freaking me out in my kitchen...

And Pix, Anakin is coming along too... just gave him a coat today and should be further along later this week. Right now I am just hitting each head one at a time and trying my best to finish one or two a night to get back on track. Should have an update at the weekend.

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Both Arnold and Miller look ALIVE! Can't believe my eyes! Incredible work Josh!
You'd deserve to be called FigureMaster Josh

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

:eek WOW! That Miller looks amazing! I was just watching that again yesterday. Can't get over how spot-on the paint is! Great stuff, DA!!!

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks a lot guys.... I know a lot of the other guys can echo my feelings on this sculpt (Miller), it's fantastic to paint... practically paints itself!

I watched the movie and the bit I wanted to capture was in the beginning right after the Normandy landing. He was so filthy, but the thing I damn near forgot was that the top of his forehead was almost clean because of the helmet. He had this line on his forehead, so I included it. It's silly, but it's just that little touch that makes it all the more fun for me.

And Arnold, I have been wanting to paint that one for a loooong time. So it was a no brainer that I would attack it headfirst and go straight for the gore. I still have a touch or two to do, hair and a bit on the cheek cut to dim it down a bit. Got a lot of reference even though it was only in the film for a minute or so...

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Hey Josh, Your Miller is amazing! I'm going to have to get some paints and brushes because I've got the head coming from Longbow next week. Can't wait!

Also that Terminator is coming a long really nicely! Is that only the base blood? Because it looks really screen accurate!

Thanks man.... Yeah, I can't wait to see what you do with Miller. It's one Hell of a fun sculpt to paint!

And Terminator is about 80% done, going to do just a tad of an update to the less damaged side of the face. Add some light bruising and stuff. But the other side is pretty much finished. Used a lot of reference of both the arnold makeup and the animatronic head. I did bloody it up just a tad more, but I like doing that.
