Sorry about the news Nathan, you'll definitely have a lot of freaks lined up for your awesome paintwork.

Me being one of them!

 

[Deak Starkiller]

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.



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.

I'm not blowing smoke up your ass, you would have done a better job. IMO of course.

Huge, HUGE loss for SS Nathan, but I'll DEFINITELY be jumping on board for some paint-ups once you have some avails. I have customs on my shelf by FML, D.A., Small Studios, and (soon) Cheungkinmen...I would LOVE to add the MIGHTY SilentSurfer to that list!

Everybody wants to give the Baroness a go.

That's music to my ears!

Can't wait to see what you cook up, since you'll be releasing more custom stuff now.

I'm sure folks will be sending you Baroness heads to work on if she gets "Rogue-d".

 

[SilentSurfer]

I'm kinda suprised I didn't get any Rogue repaint requests. Skiman did a great job repainting his. I really wanted a chance to redo one.

Never though you were. I'm just trying to staty modest.

It would be an honor to have my work stand along side those other great artists in your collection.

[Hosam-G]

I think I came a lil' bit late!
Sorry about the job Nathan!

 

[Wor-Gar]

Wow, I am really late too. A new year and look what happens...

Let me add my sentiment to the previous 10 pages of posts: very sorry to hear the news... but as King Darkness says, you won't go a day without work so no real worries. You walk away with some timeless memories and a serious bonus for the resume.

Not sure if you can tell us here but what was the whole "facebook discussion" you referenced the day you made the announcement?

 

[SilentSurfer]

Regarding Facebook: enough drama came out of that I wasn't exepcting already, so I'm letting that one die.

Just noticed your avatar, Wor-Gar. I'm doing a repaint on my own Toht right now, in the hopes that I can sell him for more. Pics soon, along with Jayne Cobb.

 

[KingGrayskull]

Never posted here alot, nor did we ever have any contact. Just wanted to throw out that Sideshow lost a big artist. I have always been a big fan of your work. When I was new here I thought you and Josh were the same guys because i couldnt imagine two guys being able to paint that perfectly. I must have clicked myself a dozen times through your respective threads. Its amazing how even a talemt like you is able to improve his skills over a year or two.
My deepest respect to your attitude. You really seem to see this as an opportunity!
This being said, when will you be available for commissions again and will you be available to everyone or just a selected group? I have a few heads that I need to get painted by next year...

 

[Wor-Gar]

Just noticed your avatar, Wor-Gar

You just noticed? I think I'm one of the few guys who has kept his avatar character the same since I joined in 2006.

I can't wait to see your Toht!!! Did you mean repainting the reg head or the melty head? That figure is definitely one that needs a repaint. Always intended to have it done, so you know I will be tempted by your sale.

Just please make him paler, a little sweaty and his lips bigger. Yessss.... I know you will.

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, when the doors open again, it will be to everybody. My repeaters have kept me busy though, and I have a lot to get through until then.

I've always known Toht is your avatar, but I just thought it amusing that I noticed it again just as I'm painting him. Yes, I'm painting both heads and making him paler. The sweat is a good idea I hadn't originally thought to do. Good call. Consider it done.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Here's my new take on Jayne Cobb.

Before: circa 11/2010

Now: circa 1/2012

Without neck for the Jayne of Adam Project

More pics of neckless head on muscle body later.

 

[SilentSurfer]

The Official Jayne Cobb for Adam Baldwin figure.

 

[Cheungkinmen]

Mother of God!. Hats off to you Nathan! those eyes! So much detail!. And you said you wanted a new camera, I don't see anything wrong with this one, haha.

Keep knocking them outta the park!

 

[SilentSurfer]

These are with a new camera. Told you it would make a difference.

 

[Cheungkinmen]

Oh this is it, then ? Well, now people can see the sculpt as intended and have their minds blown.

Excuse me, I'm going to pick up what's left of mine.

 

[kenobiobi]

Jaw-dropping Nathan. Looks just like Adam, that's going to floor him
