SilentSurfer's Laboratory: Come up to the Lab & See What's on the Slab.

Just chiming in to echo the sentiments chimed so far. It sucks, but you've had a major boost from your time with them, you put it to damn good use while it lasted, and now it seems like you have plans to continue the trend. I look forward to seeing what is yet to come.

Sad news Nathan it’s defiantly a bigger loss for SS, you’re the best all round painter in my opinion. Some people paint amazing skin tones but the eyes are very armature and vice versa but yours are all round pure awesome

Your paintwork is the bar that I set to aspire to with mine so hopefully now you have more time I can save up some cash and you can paint a certain serial killer for me

Is this your main occupation btw? If it is you will have no problem filling your time with work from here.

Babyface? l hope so, will be a kickass figure!

Thanks, devil. I will continue. There's still a lot of stuff I've done for Sideshow yet to be revealed, and I've got plenty of the coolest custom projects ever to hit this board yet to see my interpretations.

I'm sure I won't. Yes, this is my main occupation. We'll see how things go. I think I'll have plenty to do with just the Freaks, and I'll be knocking on some other company doors for sure again. Worst comes to worse, I'll snag a part time job. On the downside, working at home does kinda get lonely sometimes. It would be a welcome change of pace to have an entire crew of people to socialize with daily. I'm not gonna stop customizing though. I do this whether I have a regular job or not.

I'm late to the game on this, but from what I've seen in my short time here is that they f-ed up. Insane amout of talent they let go of. More for us!

Wow Nathan you are my hero

Even if it gets lonely it must be awesome doing something you love everyday.

 

[vik2001]

man i would love to sit at home messing around with figures all day and getting paid for it. my working hours at home would be 10am-4pm. then break - go out etc. then back home in evenings for dinner,to check SSFreaks lol

 

[SilentSurfer]

More like 10am to 3am. And no paid vacations. It's a fair trade overall not to have to get up and be somewhere every day though, watching a clock to wait to go home again.

For sure.

 

[neo]

I'm sorry to learn that news Nathan!
I hope that everything will be fine but I have no doubt about that!
Really excited to see theses breaking bad stuff!!!

For sure.

this man speaks the truth and it's not all fun and games 24/7.

 

[SilentSurfer]

If anybody else knows, it might be you...

Really excited to see theses breaking bad stuff!!!

Oh, me too, especially since one of them will be going to the producers of the show.

 

[S. Griffin]

Holy crap! I just popped in only to find out about the Sideshow bull____. Sorry about the job, and I know you liked it, but maybe you're too good for them, anyway...scratch that. Definitely too good.

 

[joebizz34]

Hey Nathan, I'm late to the game here with hearing this news but I just wanted to tell you that it is a real shame that SS decided to no longer use your talents. You are by far the best painter and customizer on this site. You were the reason I came here to begin with and inspired me to share my own work on here which your Myers head sculpt started it all in my customs thread. No one can take away the skill you have and the influence you've been to others here. Good luck and keep posting. Like others have said, you will make a living on commissions alone. Ever consider moving to Hong Kong? I think HT can use you.


All seriousness keep up your excellent work and good things will come.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thanks guys. Hi praise like that will definitely keep me on my game.

With your skills, you will never be without work. Sideshow's loss is everyone's gain.

Onward and upward

 

[SilentSurfer]

To infinity, and beyong.

 

[King Darkness]

More time for a certain camp killer mask

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Sorry broski, I really am. I thought you made China step their game up. Oddly enough I was just commenting the other day in the Baroness PF thread about how much better that proto would have looked if you painted it. I am curious though as to what happened...

 

[Kibagami]

Total big loss for Sideshow. I worry about them their future now.

=(

 

[SilentSurfer]

They were doing fine before me, and they still have lots of talent around there. Bernardo, especially, I think is a great painter. I'm blown away by some of the stuff he does.

I've also made it clear that my paint table is still available to them should they ever have need.

More time for a certain camp killer mask

That has moved up my list of side projects, for sure.

I think the Baroness came out well. I'm not sure what I would have done differently. I would have enjoyed giving her a go though, that's for sure.
