i kinda knew this would happen with my comment. if people would read what i said instead of throwing out insults...
yes, i own the dude. but i'd rather rainman went back to looking for projects ENTIRELY ON HIS OWN. that's my opinion. we obviously look at art as different things. imho, the selection of a project is as much a part of the art as the final result, and it should be a deeply personal thing. that's a huge part of challenging yourself as an artist. this is why i love serang's stuff. he really seems to choose historical figures and icons he's truly passionate about. no, i'm not interested in buying any of them, but his passion for the subject HE chose really shows in his work.
i used to think rainman worked this way. but if he really just wants to make figures people want, that's completely fine too. like i said, PERSONALLY, i would like to see rainman really astound us with his work, whether he sells it or not, even at the expense of getting characters i'd like. if you read what i originally posted, that's exactly what i said the 1st time. i don't really understand where the hypocrisy is in that.
it's a shame rainman fans decide to jump down people's throats in defence of their precious suggestions, rather than consider a point of view on art, and my desire to see rainman's full potential. kinda makes you wonder who's really a rainman fan and who just wants figures made by him. i'm not on these custom forums just to buy every figure i like. i'm here to see people do their best work. i'm sorry you can't appreciate that point of view, and instead mock it with what you posted above.
so thanks very much for that, aaron. dexter? stansfield? dude? alex? i know for a fact these are figures you and tim have wanted for a long time. granted they are great choices but let's not sit here and pretend like wofford wants to that rainman hasn't been heavily influenced into making these.
and don't ____ing lump me in with 78myers. that's the worst insult of all.
the hypocrisy
