Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Hey guys, there are a couple of you in my Joker head work list, whose real names I have, but whose user names I don't have, so there are gaps in my files. Probably was just an oversight when I took the orders way back when.
Many of you know I know your names. But I will post a list of those here whose names I don't have, that are perhaps on order. Please message or email me for corroborations. Thanks.

(See why it is crucial when you pay or order from me, to post your SSF user names when you do! )

Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Les,

Emailed you my preference of the party crash version.

These heads are OFF THE CHARTS!!! The new paint-jobs are even better than the original couple!!

Hats off to you!

Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Just keeping the choices on each page for a while. And please email me anyone wanting prefs! Out of nearly 40, only 15 have responded. There is time, just making sure you guys know. Thanks.

For you Joker head people....

OK. I am offering FOUR varaints (Two types of hair for the Pencil Trick). The difference you may see between a couple of them are purely hair app and eyes or some minor detail element.
NO WAY I can paint these EXACTLY like another. No way. Just not possible.

But, I will try to adhere as much as possible to these. The ONLY variations I will allow for from head to head, is eye position. DEFAULT is straight ahead. I might do off to one side a but, left more often than right, but both are possible. ONLY when requested in an email to me, will I do extreme eye positions. I have to have a written record I can go back to, so please email me and let me know your prefs.

I CANNOT GUARANTEE HAIR SHAPE AS IT IS ALMOST ENTIRELY CHANCE EACH TIME! I can skew it some...but these are about what I can do...so please, NO HAIR SHAPE REQUESTS!

And there is time to get your eye requests to me. I will not be getting to paint these until March 28th-ish at the soonest, as I am seriously busy with other heads in the way. I will only take Joker pref requests (You can post them here of course and I will make note of them also) and make sure I have them correct until then.

Just remember, I am painting all the time, so I can't do all the messaging and emails also at one time. Just remember that and work with me. Thanks all.


Here are the first drafts... Enjoy. I did...



THE MENU:
Pencil trick1 (cleaner hair)- Pencil Trick2 (darker hair) - Party Crasher (eyes just example)- Road Duel/Interrogation - Interrogation (later beatup look)

With my old original custom in for good measure, so you can see all the heads I have painted so far....

And the singles...

Pencil Trick 1 (clean hair)

Pencil Trick 2 (darker hair variant)

Party Crasher (eyes can vary)

Joker003PartyCrasher1.jpg






Road Duel/Interrogation 1
Joker004Interrogation1.jpg






Interrogation 2 (really messed up!)
Joker005Interrogation2.jpg








Again, I hope these look varied enough for you to easily pick from. I will not do in between versions. No time to develop that. Just these. Eyes are all that can be decided on.
If you don't pick any variation, I will just paint either Pencil Trick or Party Crasher, as a default head, with a standardized straighter eye look.
Just so you know.


More to come....LOTS more....

...and if you don't believe me...step a little closer...

Note: lighting may vary from photo to photo, so don't worry about lip color and shades so much, as they are all pretty much accurate from one to another....and from the scenes as I can discern them.
Also, please remember, I am not an airbrush artist. Everything you see painted by myself is done BY HAND, always has been, always will be, so I will try to blend as best I possibly can, but I do NOT do airbrush type blends and in EXTREME MAGNIFICATION, beyond reason, you may see brushstrokes, however minute.
Thanks for your understanding.
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

It would be great if HT could make each of their figs with moveable eyes via a lever at the back of their neck that you could slide left to right. In Britain the old Action Man dolls had that feature and it was called "Eagle-Eye". It could add so much more choice to posing.
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Les I got my Fury today and it is SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So f'n glorious!!! I love it, and the hat is perfect, the shoes are perfect, the hair is perfect and the bat came out amazing! The weathering work on it is superb! Love the dirtied up uniform! Also the work you did on the belt buckle is sweet! Little things like that really set it off.

A perfect 10 Les!!!! SOOOOOOOOOOO happy to finally have this badass in my collection!

Some Warriors Baseball Fury trivia: The name of the particular Fury you made for me was Cobb. Taken from the baseball player Ty Cobb :)

And the added gift :devil

DARKNESS APPROVES!!!

Unfortunaley, while setting up to take pics, I dropped and broke my ^^^^in camera :mad:................Expect pics when I can get a new camera.


Thnx again Les! You have made me a happy collector!

Left you feedback Les :rock

And Coco, the Furies logo on the back is AWESOME!




 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Did you need me to email/contact you Les with my info. I'm pretty sure you know me, but I know how crazy things can get so if you need my info and everything, just let me know.

Again, you are making art! I've always thought of you as the "Light Artist" in contrast to Josh being the Dark Artist. But these Jokers have you stepping toward the dark side. And I like it :D
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Les, if you are reading this, can I please please please get an unpainted sculpt?

Only the steadiest of hands and strongest of cameras can approach Les' work, I had to give my camera a pep talk before I shot his Joker and Vader for him :lol

"You will always be weaker than I." Not putting you down, just a fitting use of a quote you can appreciate :)
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Les please put me down for one Road Duel/Interrogation 1 head
Thanks all. Glad you guys like the choices. More on them in a minute.

Prefs are coming in fast and furious. A few changed minds (due no doubt to not having seen the alternatives yet) but good to see, and are being recorded accordingly. I need to note for all that if you click on my website address, I have posted an easy to find link to my email (click my banner below) for those that wish to email their prefs from here on out. Why I didn't have the addy there under my name all this time is a mystery.
Anyway, it's easier to find now.

Went and got a LOT more shipping supplies today. I had planned to be up and packed by noon, but finishing the Jokers and about 15 other heads, put me under the covers til well after noon. Not happy about that, as my Dad had to wake me up, but it's Saturday so what can I do but go get more shipping supplies and move on. Accomplished something there anyway.
All that was to ship today will be on the BIG MONDAY FML SHIPATHON now. All Hickses and relateds, and most all of the unpainted heads, as stated, and a few more. All I can afford to ship anyway.

And again, thanks guys.
Terminator, thanks for that last note. I appreciate that anyone can see that I LOVE this stuff, and to not be able to do it as I wanted to, for months, was torture for me. It was NOT time off, not intentional. Therefore, now that I am back, as it were, I am trying to make up for lost time. This is what I have tried to promise all you guys. This level of my best work. I appreciate anyone that likes it, and understands that I am here for you guys, not the other way around. Anyone that doesn't know that, doesn't know me.

Anyway, I won't lie to you. it feels GREAT! I haven't had this much motivation and sheer "groove" in months and months now. So, you all will benefit. Those that have waited so long, even the impatient. They will benefit as well. But those that have been patient with me, just know, there is more coming to you that just these paints. You have my gratitude as well. For what it's worth. And that best translates for me into my finished work. You guys and your support this last year have not only helped literally keep me alive, but motivated to keep trying. I was in a pretty deep, black hole, not that long ago, so know I am VERY, VERY grateful.

Now, enough mush. Onward to more stuff! :rock

Taking notes and painting still....
Your friend,
Les



PS: ANYONE wanting a new, or heretofore, unsolicited Joker head, any form, from me, had best email me asap, and be prepared to wait til AFTER all the other work I have on the dockets, this run included, are all done first. Those guys have earned their slots. But, I will do a VERY LIMITED run of Jokers, and maybe, a few more Hicks, AFTER this current series of all work is done by April 15th. That means I won't start on new sets until after that....
After which, I WILL NOT PAINT A LEDGER JOKER OR A HICKS AGAIN! LOL!!! EVER! I hope to put all I have in these, and get as far away from these heads as I possibly can, opening the door for new and exciting projects. So, get with me soon and I will try to work out a "Before the barn door closes" set of Joker heads and Hickses. After that, too late. NO MORE! Thanks guys for wanting any of my stuff.

Oh, and a big, big sale of stuff is still coming too! Just haven't had time to get it all together! Sorry! SOON! I promise!
Les please put me down for one Road Duel/Interrogation 1 head
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Those Joker heads are awesome Les! Your combo that you and Josh did is a prized item in my collection.
 
Re: LES WALKER - All NEW Custom Works 2009

Still undecided....so difficult. May have to order another!

Email coming your way Les, sent to the sareskynos one, hope that was right.
