I can't believe how absolutely AMAZING this sculpt is, any idea how much Darren charges for this? I must upgrade my T2 Aunie soon anyway.

uscmhicks... that's a cool picture lol 
I must point out though, that this isn't my sculpt.... this is my take on the Sideshow Terminator head. A resculpt/upgrade call it what you will.
But for the record, this is all the way an ANDY BERGHOLTZ sculpt... and it rocks. I just.... tweaked parts I didn't like from the production version. All the 'Arnie' that was captured, was Andy all the way. And he deserves all the credit.
(in fact you should all go to his website to see his work... they guy is amazing)

sorry Pix, didn't see your question in amongst the posts there. The tile method is one I saw online, and it's where you sculpt the front of the face/head first... on a tile, then bake it hard and then sculpt the back
like so...
(sorry for the digitally distorted face there... not sure if the sculpt has been seen by it's owner to be yet)
and just one more pic for the day... meant to post this a few days ago
Thanks man
...and thanks to anyone else who's received any work from me recently and sent me messages of thanks. I'm glad you all like them!

awesome pics Darren , I have been trying not to collect anything lotr but I think I am gonna end up contacting you regarding the subject ! 
Thanks for the explanation Darren... oh and by the way, I hate digitally distorted faces. They make me even more curious about whats under the smear.

Damn Darren... I am still stunned at how amazing that Faramir is... It's just BEAUTIFUL!! You have really pushed the boundaries for how realistic one can paint facial hair. It's inspiring me to pay closer attention to my own stubble painting.

Those Faramirs are amazing - really beautiful stuff. You're really are back with a vengence! Glad to see you in the zone again.
Hope to see your 'real world' commission up on your site soon. I really dig the World War I private commission you put up before and I hope to see more of them.
All the best!

ok I'm back after the weekend....
well yesterday was tough... Father's day... and I wanted to have a good cry about my Dad (I'd realised that since he died 3 months ago, I hadn't had a proper breakdown sob... 'cause i was running round sorting everything out... and i thought i'd missed my chance because i was in the 'get on with your life' mode.)
Jane was going round to her parent's for a fathers day meal... so i opted to stay at home. I dug out an episode of Deep Space Nine (The Visitor... one of the best episodes of television ever) that used to make my eyes water even when i watched it years ago (all about Jake losing his dad... very well written and acted) ... so i watched that... which sure enough... set me off, and i was sobbing for an hour straight... even after it had finished.
Made me realise that in September at the wedding, seeing an empty chair will be hard for me.... but I'll get through it. Life goes on... and I'm trying to make mine and Jane's as good as I can. Taking on as many commissions as I can manage (even if they do take ages... sorry guys, lol) ... I really need a secretary... I'm on the computer here before 7am answering emails... for at least 4 or 5 hours every day
i mean... seriously... i need some staff
aaaanyway, I'm back.. I feel good... I know other people are going through hard times as well... so I hope everyone manages to pull through.
Back to work!
got some eBay things to send out today, some CDs I've sold... got 3 Faramirs to post ... got a Neo, Daniel Craig, Reese, and 2 old Obi-Wans to carry on painting... and got a RIPLEY to carry on sculpting... (took her mouth and jaw off again last week, finished her teeth... man they're hard to sculpt, now i'm sculpting her lips back on again... looks much better with the teeth showing slightly inside)
Speak to you all soon (got to answer some more emails and pm's now, lol)
