Good!

Its going to be hard to decide between you or Josh. But like I said, I'm leaning more towards Josh just to be able to free you up for more sculpting time

Now you're making me feel bad. No, I'm not going to ask for my money back. Keep painting Chris.

Don't worry, it's not all me! My wife, Kim, is an extraordinarily talented artist and she will be assisting. She's an amazing Graphic Designer/Art Director/College professor who has been creative director for one of the biggest publishers in the world and even been a designer for the Purple One himself, Prince. So it won't affect my sculpting time as much as you might think. We set things up assembly line style, works pretty smoothly. Your heads are in good hands!

After I get the eyes done on the prototype I'll take some photos....

 

[C.Howes_Sculptor]

OK, here is the first paint prototype from a few angles. As anyone who paints can tell you, the first one is the hardest! You sort of feel your way, try to figure out what works and what doesn't.

I like the general look, but I need to lighten the hair and beard stubble. The photos are a little pale. In person the skin tone is a bit more tan and rich.I've been experimenting with powdered pigments which give a lot of subtlety.

Comments?

Nice start Chris. I hope you will be adding a little more salt and pepper to the hair and beard.

Yep, that's what I meant by "lighten the hair and beard stubble". Salt and pepper is a better way of saying it!

 

[Buttmunch]

Looks great Chris!

 

[Gruff Old Bear]

I think he's there. Can't wait for mine.

 

[Moonloop]

That looks great! If I was a HOUSE fan I would be all over it.

 

[KBA]

I'll see your House bash and raise you a pair of dirty undies!

Creecher's?

 

[King Darkness]

Creecher's?

Those are housed in a waste treatment plant

Off limits to the public, too dangerous.

Paint looks good Chris, would like to see some more work in the hair department though. I will be sending you payment within the week. When do you think you will be shipping these out?

No comments on the season finally???? You guys suck!

 

[KBA]

Season finale was amazing. Probably my second favorite season ender. Overall I'd give the season an 8.8/10. I thought the first qaurter of the season was brilliant, aswell as the fourth. There were quite a few head scratchers though - the sudden dissapearence of the gum-shoe with absolutely no explanation, even after it was set up that both of them had a thing for Cutty. Kutner's death also just worked into the first possibility of why house can't sleep, and why he is hullcnating. Good to see foreman still kicking around - who will likely take over house's department while he's getting better. Tons of potential for the next season.

 

[KBA]

Also, some things finally happened that were nice to see tied up - Cutty getting a kid finally. I was petrified in season 3 when she was sperm hunting that it could lead somewhere prematurely.. I'm glad they are really slow playing the cutty-house love dynamic. Also, after lingering around for two seasons chase and cameron finally get married. I'll be sad if they fade out of the show, but its neatly tied up if the actors want out or they get written out.

Agree 100%. Great season overall!

And the finally was perfect. The emotion on Houses face when Cuddy walks him into Wilsons office was brilliant! And the the last sequence with the marriage and House being taken to the hospital was great!! Really like see House so vulnerable, not in control for once

Next season has allot of potential for sure!

 

[KBA]

Yeah totally. This time he won't be able to pull strings to have his care keeper slip him pills like he was doing when he was sentenced to rehab after the great tridder plot line - that guy needs to come back, they had one hell of a battle in season 3.

I wanted to shank Tritter in the face with a pencil!! They wrote that character to be so hateable, and David Morse played him perfectly. I ^^^^in' HATED him!!!!!

I agree. He was a character that you didn't love to hate, you just hated him.

And is there a House discussion thread? I didn't think there was. Maybe we should start one?

 

[C.Howes_Sculptor]

Gosh! My paint job must be so realistic that it subconsciously got you guys seriously thinking about House and spurred on the discussion!!

Yeah, that's it!
