Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

Let anyone deny that Darren's Anakin is anything less than the best likeness of Hayden Christensen out there, and they are blind.

Great new pics. You are T'awesome.

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

Thanks! Leggy is almost finished, and looking great. I can't wait to make the first resin version and paint it up! As for Han, I'd love to.... I was actually going to do an accurate Ford sculpt from it (reworking of the SS Solo) and turn it into both Solo AND Indy.... but it hasn't happened yet. One day though (unless someone else wants to post me their head to copy)

If for some reason abstractharmony can't provide his Han Solo's head, pleae let me know and I'll gladly ship the head of my HS figure!

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

Not much new here... Just spent a few more hours on Leggy (extra hair details, cheeks, nose, forehead) between Anakin repaints and some other things. Once it was dried hard I quickly drew on some eyes and eyebrows with a pencil I had lying round.... just to try and see if I've got it right so far

(ignore the fact that the eyes are wonky.... they were drawn on in 10 seconds with an old pencil! ) this was just for me to see if I'm going in the right direction

Just speaking from my heart Darren. After I get my leggy I may want a HS from you.

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

Darren...Bravo! That is amazing! Can't wait to see it painted. Ok, I think that Sideshow should let you touch up their head sculpts before going into mass production!



Can you post some quick, before and after shot?

Most impressive!

You mean the figure before I started working on it? I'll take some proper comparison pics when I'm finished but for now here's one I already took as I first took the head apart....

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

Wow Darren!! I'm very glad I haven't painted mine yet.... Cause that's the one I want!!

Great work man... it's looking awesome. I WILL want one for sure.

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

Anakin and Legolas F'n !!!!

Great work hunky!!!!!

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

Yup, yup, all customizing of Legolas is at a complete halt here until I can get one of these heads...

It makes you wonder what goes on with them sometimes. How they can let some of these things get to mass production. Hunky has proved it is possible to capture Hayden Christensen perfectly.

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

thanks guys.... you are way too kind

I just wish I could work full time on Leggy I'd have him finished by now, but commissions always come first . This is just a couple of in progress shots from my desk today

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

HEY!!!! How about some shots of that Arnold?? What's happening to him?

oh at the moment that's just the standard head, so no shots needed. But he'll be getting a new neck, chin, jaw, and some mouth adjustments and other little bits and pieces (to start with)

once I have an accurate Arnie I'm happy with ( I have myself a new set of clothes, boots and a body on its way to me) then I'll be doing a T1 version with longer hair and a softer face, and then thinking about ways to do a battle damaged version (ie... how do I get parts of the endo showing, sculpt or take a cast from an existing toy)

Might make myself T1, 2 and 3 versions, that would be quite a cool custom project to work on

Any chance we'll see versions of:
- U.S. Marshal John 'The Eraser' Kruger
- Harry Tasker
- Jack Slater
- Doug Quaid/Hauser
- Ben Richards
- Dutch

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

Can't wait to see what you do with Ahnuld ! I'd like to see all of the above !

I think one other change, just a subtle one would be to make the ears stick out more.

When do you find time to sleep?

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

LOVE the DOWEL RODS OF DEATH!
"And lo, they put his severed head upon a pike!"

Looks like a great display idea for some of your reworked heads! You ought to have a mini-museum of just your reworked heads, forever displayed like that. Great way to promote them!

And the heads themselves...
WONDERFUL! Keep 'em going bro! :chew

Re: hunky_artist's artistic creations!

Just a thought here for you Darren but if you were to do a 'Dutch' head from an Arnold cast I just know that the folks on this board (and no doubt others) would be forming a line at John Lennon Airport arrivals to get one.
