Re: Rainman Artwork 2013 NYC Cabbie "God's Lonely Man"

AAAWWWWWWW... C'MON BM!!! Why am I getting censored?? That's still PG-13!

You could have at least left text and just X'd the pic :ohbfrank:
 
Re: Rainman Artwork 2013 NYC Cabbie "God's Lonely Man"

Nope.

When the washed out pics dropped I TOTALLY had reservations. I know that you LOVED them :panic: but they didn't look very good at all. Not nearly as good as the first PS'd WIP.

I didn't change my tune today. I did in post #1674 and have remained consistent since (1690, 1750, 1726, 1817).

I've stated only two, not all of the areas that I feel can be tweaked for improvement. Eyes & nose and the song remains the same. :wave

He didn't nail the sculpt has hard as I would've liked but I'm still in at this point. :cool:

Everything else I said was all for convo, debate and POV sake.

Speaking on this particular release, I'm on the fence. I agree with these and all other eye comments. If the eyes can be tweaked for the better then that would raise my interest back to the top. I'm still waiting to see the haired sculpt, outfit, accessories, etc. and then I can access everything better; but just going on the sculpt... IDK. Not only is the paint for the eyes incredibly stylized but even the unpainted sculpt doesn't scream Di Niro to me :(

I have no issue with you so I don't need to stack **** in any which way. If I'm buddies with people who you've argued with don't confuse them with me; I barley say a word to you on these boards so don't confuse me with other people. If I'm remembering wrong about your complaints with the Pulp boys then I retract my statement but I honestly don't care enough to go back and look.

I thought that you had an issue with one of their likenesses but I have no doubts if you say you were praising it highly; you have the absolute worst eye out of anybody on this board :lol. I've seen you on several occasions yelling "perfection!" and how much you "love, love, love" something that needs work, work, work.

You've done it once again today praising these eyes. If you think that this can't be improved... then you're ****' buggin'. If you can't see how the shape and size of the iris on the first PS reveal pic is right there and the painted eyes detracts from the likeness big-time... then there's nothing I can tell ya.

You officially sealed the deal as the Freaks worst eye by stating that you can't see the tweak in Jules frown line. He went from allergic reaction Jules to looking human with that tweak. You're outta your bird :lol

See that? :wave


You could even get the feel for the difference in PC’s manip

On a brighter note I'm really happy that he's tackling Bickle to the fullest. The build up sounds great, all tastes are covered and everything shown so far looks insane. The sculpt has its areas where it could've been improved but not a deal breaker for me. I'd hope that a better paint app for the eyes is on the horizon, but if not there are capable hands around that could fix that to my liking.

Pumped to see more!






The best way to handle that area would have been with texture and then the stubble paint app applied on top. It's hard to see in that pic if that bumpy type shaved head texture is there; I hope it is. I have no doubt that he'll stubble up all necessary areas though



Research consistency and being true to yourself

I had to recheck the thread title to see if I was the thread starter and if it started with something like "[iminime] ...." :lol

I AM the truth, guy.

What are you proving with this post? My point??? :lol

I said on a couple of occasions that I was on the fence after those washed out pics were dropped. After the banner shot was shown I was back in and have been since. Learn to read :wave

My issues with the sculpt haven't changed and I think I've stated that clearly. I think that there are a couple of more areas that have room for improvement aside from the eyes and nose, but as I recently said, those were the only two things I'm even bothering to mention. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE WAY THE EYES ARE PAINTED in case you're not able to understand what I'm saying. I'd like to see the pupils painted like they appear in the first PS'd WIP pic (MORE DI NIRO) and not like the latter.

Thanks for reinforcing my points though :duff

Yes, it's true.... You're not the only one on the board that knows how to get a rise out of someone.


Don't flatter yourself :lol

i really like this one...

i'm also curious as to see...who actually had voted for the numb look??....or why did RM change his mind on this look....this...this right here would have gotten him my money...

Or this one....


I believe they're the same sculpt broski. The brow is the only change so IMO the sculpt is solid enough. I the look changes dramatically because of the irises which is what I've been saying (some apparently are understanding that).

The hand painted eyes have the RM doll-like appearance to them which I think is demoting the whole sculpt. If he can paint the eyes more similarly to how he Photo Shopped them, this will improve big time.
 
Re: Rainman Artwork 2013 NYC Cabbie "God's Lonely Man"

by the way...i went with the first one you posted....don't know why the pic didn't carry through
 
Re: Rainman Artwork 2013 NYC Cabbie "God's Lonely Man"

but the brow is what actually gave it some attitude IMO...and that makes a helluva difference then with the numb look...
 
Re: Rainman Artwork 2013 NYC Cabbie "God's Lonely Man"

I agree. But some were lobbying hard for the "numb" look, and I guess Rainman listened. In fairness, it is a bit more suitable for the character when he has the mohawk (as he is in an odd, psychotic state at that point). Just not as aesthetically pleasing IMO.
 
Re: Rainman Artwork 2013 NYC Cabbie "God's Lonely Man"

and thats the part where i can't argue one bit about each and every individual who haS their own perception of how or what Bickle should look like...

with the numb look tho...i would have still purchased had the tweaks been made...since they are not....i will wait for a better sculpt....which hopefully...wouldn't be too far away...;-)
