Sometimes I get the distinct impression that we are hungry puppies looking through a window for our food.

That's a good one... No, you guys have a right to be interested and want to know what is happening with the stuff you guys have sent me. It's totally understandable.

This week has been a bad one for painting stuff, my tire went flat and my account went about $350 negative because of a error on my part. I had to cancel my Rambo III and Asajj figures due to lack of funds.... So really haven't been as on the ball as I would like this week.

Tonight we should see some updates, and I hopefully should be mailing out some stuff to you guys this next Friday when I get paid...

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Josh, sorry about the troubles you've run into, hopefully Asajj and John will find their way back to your collection at a later date. As for your work, I noticed in some of your collection images you added recently that Dark Obi-Wan was on a shelf, has he been completed or is it just their as you work on it? Very curious to see the final results on that piece, that's deffinately a fully artistic piece for you, I'm not fully up and up with EU Star Wars, but as far as I know, there is zero reference for what Obi-Wan gone evil is like, so curious to see what the first interpretation of that comes out like. Keep on rockin' dude, great stuff!!!

Adventures of Meat McClane in the Kitchen of Death
...Meanwhile, we join our hero, trying in vain to reach a Hans that will never answer....

C'mon Hans! Talk to me! I see an Alien in here now, Hans! Did you do this? This isn't your style Hans....

I'm surrounded by wooden cutlery and no way out of here, Hans....
I think Josh is gone to....work. And there's no one here Hans...

Don't make me turn this oven on, Hans! I can warm it up nice and toasty Hans! You and Karl won't need boxer briefs when I get through!
Are you even out there? Hans! I don't even think WorGar has a Hans...

Man, this sucks! Alone....in a kitchen....with Aliens and....Dolph....
Dolph's big Hans! A big guy! Get in here! I don't like the way he's looking at me!

The adventures of Meat McClane continue....

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Thanks MaulFan.... I hope things get better too. And no word on Obi yet, he's actually just been "warming" my shelf.

And I really appreciate the words about the piece. Most of the response has been shock, seeing as though Obi is one of the most respectable and honorable Jedi. But I got the idea a while back when I read an interview with Timothy Zahn about the writing of Heir to the Empire. He said that his initial idea was to make the Jorrus C'baoth character a Clone of Obi-Wan, only twisted and evil. My reaction to that image was pretty graphic in my mind, the possibility of a truly Evil version of Obi-Wan.

I forgot that idea for a few years until recently I was growing out my facial hair and thought I looked like Evil Obi. I then realized that it had to be made. So I gathered the parts, sculpted some strands of hair falling down on his head and started planning his new Evil look. I hope to maybe do a few more steps on it tonight or tomorrow... so keep an eye out. Just been so far behind and hadn't wanted to work on more of my stuff than other people's. But he is coming along slowly when I have the paint and don't want to waste it.

I know you are busting your butt Josh... My comment was more a comment on my anticipation than on any delays on your part. Hope things looks up (I just had an overdraft of $200 myself... Its no fun...

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

That's just WRONG, man! WRONG!
GREAT job! And clever too. Makes me wonder, when is this in the saga timeline? If it were that is....between Eps III & IV?
Wild!

Thanks Les.... Yeah, I would think it would be between III and IV. What if Obi would have fell into rage and despair at the death of the Order, perhaps if Yoda would have died as well. Losing himself to the darkness, he slaughters Anakin and Palpatine tries to take him under his wing but Obi flees the scene... He spends years trying to amass enough power to defeat Palpatine and end the evil, but sacrifices himself in the process. Hence the sadness in his eyes.

Sith Obi F'n s!!!!!

AWESOME job Josh!!!

 

[MaulFan]

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

Totally with Les on this one Josh. It feels so wrong seeing my beloved Obi-Wan going wayward, but if it had to be done, I don't think you could beat this interpretation. Great work man! Interesting thing, his beard coloration reminds me of the Ducard from Batman you were working on, which ties back to Obi-Wan's master Qui-Gon, perhaps this is the trend for good Jedi gone bad.

If you were to find a point in Star Wars timeline for this to occurr, I could see it as an alternate path from when Mace and Yoda start to doubt Anakin, and Obi-Wan just giving them a bick "**** YOU!" with his lightsaber and totally turning out of anger for the pressure laid on him with Anakin.

"I did my best! I did my best! I did my ****in' best!" (points to anyone that can name where that quote comes from)

Re: DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

The Sith Obi is really impressive but that Vampire Spike is amazing!! I'm tell you Josh I often have the urge to just box up all my SSC figures and just send them over to you for repaints.
