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.

I think the idea of the numb look is the most fitting choice but it didn't translate perfectly in practice; I don't think it's the "numb pushers'" fault; this is just what RM did with the idea. If the mouth were a little different that would've helped the look and the doe-ish eyes are really what's softening it up IMO.

Nice! So we should be seeing the full spread soon..... :panic:

It was one more example of Rainman trying to please his vocal audience. I'm sure he feels like he is in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation when people ask him for something, he does it, then he gets slammed for it for whatever reason. If folks don't have confidence Rainman can execute something well enough, it may be best not to ask to begin with. Because then I think it's going a bit far to say, "well you know, I don't like how you did what I asked you to do Rainman. Try something different, like X, Y, Z."

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

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.




:exactly:

So let me just get this clear, with the issues you have, you still find it insane? Your words not mine. We obviously have very different opinions on the meaning of that word.

I didn't include some of your posts.

Some posts you said it didn't scream Deniro. You have issues with the nose as well but you still find it insane. You are the truth are you :lol

I think I know what you are. Your a sheep :lol

Incredibly funny how you found it insane once Rainman spoke.

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.

I agree they are the same except for the brow. That look, to me, adds character to the overall appearance. I don't recall if that was an exact look in the movie, but it is more appealing to me visually.

The wait for the order window is getting to me. Sometimes I get headaches it's so bad.

Another swing and a miss!!! But you can keep trying if you want to. I'm enjoying watching you struggle and grasp at straws :D

My words are clear so don't try to extract the word "insane" and twist it into something I'm not saying. My words:

"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."

"Everything shown so far": Gun slide, shades, belt buckle

My thoughts on the sculpt remain the same including it being "solid" and "pretty good". I know you have to leave my positive comments out to try and prove your BS senseless point. It ain't working. You either can't read or you're really reaching. And believe me, Rainman posting isn't going to change the way I feel. I speak freely assuming that he is aware of what's talked about in his threads.

I'm even starting to annoy myself with how much this back and forth is taking up the thread. I think I've chewed you up and spit you out enough already. Sooooo... I'm gonna just chalk it all up to: I'm a sheep & you're a jerk-off with a the reading comprehension of a 1st grader.

You can keep throwing darts if you want to provide more comedy for everyone.... and continue to play yourself. I've said enough :wave

Cool story buddy. I think I am content with where we are at with this :)

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

The project is finished and we all need to understand that and just wait for the final reveal. It no longer makes any difference if something is off or not at this point.

The constant I am right and you are wrong is getting old.

This is a freaking action figure for Christ's sake. Rainman is a man, not a God. How grown men make this **** a constant issue is funny. It's done, we have had our say, Lee has made his figure and that's it.

Buy it and enjoy it. Don't and put your funds towards something you will enjoy.
