Figuremaster Les' Figural Fabrications

[Cocoboloboy]

Nice drippy Joker pic metaphorge. I loves me my FML drippy Joker.

 

[galactiboy]

Les' Joker heads really make the figure... before I would never have been completey satisfied with the figure. But having that sculpt and crazy paint work makes him a figure I'd never part with

 

[Cocoboloboy]

I had a guy offer me over $350 for either one of my Jokers recently. I of course said no way. You just don't part with something like this unless you need a kidney or something, and even then...

 

[uscmhicks]

don't accept that anyway cocoboloboy , I have had deals for the normal figure that wanted that amount. I am still on the lookout !.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Yeah, I agree hicks. That's too low for this gem.

with Les's head its just amazing and gets past what a figure even is. Thats a poseable statue not a figure. Its the same when I see his amazing Ledger joker and hicks. I don't even see them as figures. They are figures .. but the details that amazing they pass as statue quality but they move. Can't get more awesome than that.

Still one of my favorite FigureMaster Les customs:

Awesome!

 

[galactiboy]

Yeah, his Mr. Freeze is unbelievable

Absolutely. Anyone who's followed this thread for any length of time and has seen the many outstanding examples of Les' work here, or who actually owns some of his amazing work, is well aware that a FML repaint can turn an average, mediocre figure into a work of art. And with a great figure, Les has the gift of being able to bring it to life with his brushes... to the point you almost expect it to be able to move on its own.

Les is truly one of the most gifted of all the talented figure artists around. Sure, there are other great painters out there, but very few of them can rival his many remarkable achievements, or gather such a following of loyal and loving fans, friends, and supporters. That's one of the things that really sets him apart from the rest... but then you already know that!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately, Les. I've been following your thread mostly through emails for a while, so I'm not completely unaware of what's been going on with you these days. Just wanted to drop in and let you know you're still in my thoughts and that I hope things get better for you real soon.

Les, you owe it to yourself to do whatever it takes to keep yourself in good health, bro. You have the support and understanding of many caring people here, so please take care of Numero Uno first... we'll all still be here when you're ready to return.

Hate to bring up a old subject but whoever complained about the kind gesture of a FREE head should try displaying it in a glass cabenit instead of holding it a inch away from his face and it may look better

Keep up the good work les and dont let it get you down

Les finished my Hudson head,
Hicks would be done soon, really cool!

Best wishes to his situation & mom!

No offence pal but shouldn't you start your own thread to show your stuff rather than hijack Les's??

 

[Indiana Fett]

This needs a BUMP! Les should NEVER be on page 2!

Les, hope all is good bro and I'm pullin' for ya always. You're a true talent and a wonderful guy. All the best my man.

P.S., not long now for my Figuremaster I.J. PF repaint to be a reality...just a few more months...

 

[orbitingx]

Les,

I miss seeing your latest posts of art like a junkie needs his fix

I hope life is getting a bit more stable for you and your folks these days.

I still cherish the work you have done for me.

Take care

Hi guys. Just dropping in to let you all know it's been a very long, rough week. Ma is in a new nursing home, the third place for her in the last four months (fifth if you count two hospital stays), not the best one by any means, and about 45 miles from me, so no easy every day access like I had before, which adds some to the frustrations, but she is kinda sorta ok. To be honest, she is going downhill fast. I HOPE she sees this Christmas where she knows what's up. It would be nice. I am not sure if she will make next. If she does, she may not know it.

Anyway, L O N G, tiring, emotionally trying week.

Thanks to all of you for your support and the phone calls and emails. I AM getting back to work. Needless to say, I haven't had any energy these last few days. I had to move all her stuff out of where she was living by myself and then my sister and her husband came down this last weekend and we finished up that with the big stuff (including the chair...). We are still sorting out details of her new place. I go back to see her Wednesday and will sort more out then.

In the meantime, I have finally been to the doctor myself due to the stresses of all this, (continuous months of it you know...) and my blood pressure is really elevated. I expect to go on some BP meds soon, till this period settles down at long last. I hope it does.

I have been taking the last day or two easy with my Dad, who broke a tooth out Friday, and has been sick since. I wonder if you can swallow something bad from a tooth gap?? Anyway, he's better today and I am trying to catch up some again.

I sat down at my desk again today and restarted up some work. Cleaned up mostly, and am reorganizing, so I can get all this back on track. It isn't that daunting really, just still the same sets, still behind, waiting patiently for my return to them. So, let me get back and if I am not in again for a few days, know that I am painting again. Trying to get back on that bucking horse again.

And for what it's worth, Devil666, no worries mate. In my book you are A-OK. Thanks for the Mr Freeze pic post also. I think you can light him up and macro him pretty well at least, for those that care about such details.

And major thanks to all of you that posted my better works. I am honored to have served all you guys.

I'll be back in form soon. No fears. You'll see.
New works to come.

Just keep taking care of yourself and your family Les. You keeping us in the loop does help. I can't imagine what you are going through right now. Its sounds exhausting, both pyschically and mentally. My prayers are always with you.

 

[Reinhardt]

my prayers and thoughts are with you too Les. I haven't even met you and know you are one of the nicest people on this planet. You don't deserve this, but you will get though it. That I am confident in.

 

[uscmhicks]

My Prayers and thoughts are with you and your family Les.
You will get through this soon !!

I wonder if you can swallow something bad from a tooth gap??

yeah , I think the same thing happened to my father a while back , he ended up on antibiotics I think. Made him quite ill actually , chipped his tooth and thought he swallowed something the same night. Next few days he was ill.


Anyway , keep up the awesome work and its great to hear you checked yourself out at the docs too. Gets those meds !
