Greggo Customs and Paint jobs

[Rbeato]

Greggo I sent you yet another email just now, but I promise its the last one, I found the exact look i've been trying to explain over and over and actually found it, forget that original one i sent that i was set on, i actually got bored of looking at the paint on that one compared to this one. and its all has to do with the eyes and inbetween the eyebrows that gives it that creepy look i've been wanting. I'm sure you can pull it off, you da man.

Crystal skull is amazing, Greggo. Didn't know you sculpted. That's some crazy good work.

 

[Rbeato]

he has been insanely busy last time i heard. i had a hard time getting the colors and details of a sculpt i sent him and sent so many emails to him probably buggin him to death, but the other day i finally found what i want it to look like, and if he can do it (which i have great faith he will be able to) then you all will be shocked at how amazing this head sculpt will look. just hope he received the final email in time. i showed my friend the skull he was working on who is a huge Indy fan and was hoping this was for a run as he was ready to break out serious cash for a skull lol.
Greggo just incase you get on here first to PM someone your workin with or what not since your insanely busy, i sent that one email of the exact look I want for the sculpt, but instead of all the facial stubble it has, just do your way of stubble, which i'm sure you would agree will look better as he rarely has that much. and yours is perfect. but oooo the look in the eyes and how its detailed around the eyebrows gives me chills...can't wait!! my friend hooked me up with a 1/6 kill knife thats an exact replica of my 1:1 replica of the real one, so thats why i really loved that look of that one, cause before i was just going to put him in regular work clothes, but now with the kill knife and that look, i am having to buy his actual killer outfit, still piecing the accessories together. need the gloved hands and the henley shirt, but have a shirt thats the same color as the henley and fits the same on the ttm19 body so i can make sure to have enough in my paypal when you get ahold of me for payment, but lookin forward to pics, can't wait to see it. much gratitude Gregg. hope to hear from you soon and hope your not workin your self to death.

WOW! is all i can say, i just read and marveled at every post in this thread, yes it took a while, and I must say you were damn good at the start and even better now. And just how it you do definitely honor your customers requests at how they want it done...loved the office, now i see where you get your references from if we send them, atleast with mine now its only 1 pic. but i'm glad it went to your hands. Congrats on the engagement even though I'm late on that but didn't know then. But its understandable how you have become so insanely busy, this job alone has to have your schedule filled. But all the words of praise are well earned buddy. And after going through the entire thread seeing the once white dot eyes, to no longer and just the progression, i have no worries at all that you can easily paint my sculpt like the reference. Can't wait. This was truely an inspiring thread to read. it makes me want to go out tomorrow and paint the boots I have for my sculpt so they are more accurate in color. You definitely have inspired me. And also now have me wanting and Indy and Henry, and Casino Royale Bond. Keep up the amazing work, and im sure once you get back you'll have some amazing sculpts to post up. cheers to greggo!!!

hope gregg is ok, and just busy as hell working.

He is - you are not the only one waiting for things Rbeato, so chill out. You can't rush art.

 

[Rbeato]

oh believe me I know you can't rush it. Just had another friend of mine in the business no one had heard from and turned out he had gotten a terminal illness so just wanted to make sure he is ok is all. not worried about him being busy and getting my work done as he can take all the time he needs as i still have many things to still get before my bash would be finished. the sculpt I know is in good hands. as I know he is very busy. Gregg is a great guy. One can just want to make sure he is ok can't he?

 

[Artoo]

Yea, Greggo is normally on here more often. Hope all is well and he's just overworked.

 

[Rbeato]

my exact thoughts also Artoo. but apparently i need to chill for just hoping he is ok.

 

[69slimer]

I am in regular contact with Gregg and he is fine, just mega busy with his day job and he has a lot of commissions to do. I imagine he is concentrating on those 2 things rather than surfing SSF forums.

 

[Rbeato]

excellent, appreciate the update 69slimer, glad to hear he is ok.

Great to hear! I wish I could be that disciplined. I should be working right now.

 

[Rbeato]

you and me both, but i have a weird work schedule, and my other hobby/job is on a base by base situation on when i am booked.

 

[Cloud Warrior]

Sent you an email from your blog site, asking for a bit of info on getting some repaints done. I understand you are overloaded and I am in no rush, at your speed.

Currently shopping around for getting some repaints and thought I would start at the top to get an idea of the ceiling prices.

Top work and I would love to have atleast one of your works in my case at some point.

 

[Rbeato]

He rivals painters that charge $150+ for a head sculpt paint job, and charges way less if you don't mind waiting since he is busy. But his work detail in the eyes is amazing!!

That skull is fantastic. Caught a link to it over at theraider.net's The Raven forums and signed up here just to follow this thread. (*noob wave*) I am OBSESSED with 1:1 crystal skull replicas that only a few have attempted. Excellent work. Soooooo, sooo awesome!

 

[Rbeato]

yea, that skull, after seeing the WIP pics and then you see the bottom jaw clear? i still don't understand how that alone was done...and then when he finishes the back of the skull with the pink and blue colors it had in it...oooo i get chills thinking about seeing the pics of it finished. Will definitely be a gift his brother is going to flip out about. I know i'd love to have one of those.

 

[Indy's brother]

I know i'd love to have one of those.

Hey Everyone hope you are all well? I 'am still around but very busy at the moment but hopefully I will be back on answering emails and PM's very soon. I have also been going though a rough time at the moment, It was my birthday on tuesday and I went out with my close friends and my friends girlfriend feel very ill and had a fit and was rushed into hospital so I spend the whole day with them at the hospital. Her health is more important then any birthday to me. Then when I got home my aunty was rushed into hospital again with another stroke. So at the I'm a little everywhere at the moment. But I will be back for sure very soon, just please bare with me folks.
