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

It's Miller Time!

Erick Sosa's Captain Miller (Tom Hanks), that is.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

There was never a contract. Each piece was its own deal. Sad to say it came down to a personality clash, of all things. There are one or two people that still consider me a friend over there though. One has certainly supported me since day one, and for that I will be forever grateful. He'd still be happy to work with me if it were solely up to him.

I can keep a secret. So are you done, done? Like not even helping with their booth setup this year? Is it awkward now?

 

[SilentSurfer]

I'm always willing to help. I don't get weird when people disagree with me. I just state my point of view, acknowledge and move on because I am at absolute peace with what I believe and feel no guilt that somebody else can't relate to it, and I'm willing to debate about it endlessly as long as the other person keeps an open mind to reason and logic and wants to learn something.

Depending on who I talk to at Sideshow, it either sounds done done, or it sounds indefinite (open ended). I've stated that my table will always welcome a Sideshow project, and I intend to offer my services at SDCC later this year. If they'll have me, I will walk right in there with no reservations. I suspect things for them may be too ackward though. We'll see. I really do enjoy SDCC with vender privileges that keep you from having to suffer in the waiting lines. I probably won't go now otherwise.

To say I forgive easily is an understatement. I hold no grudges, so I'm sort of always in a forgiving frame of mind. Grudges stem from insecurity and a fear of repeated pain, and I'm not that insecure. My personal relationship with God and trust in Him to always have my back takes care of that stuff for me. That's not something I've been taught in church; it's something I've lived time and time again. I don't fear this world. Doesn't mean I'm stupid enough to be jerked around again though, but I take every moment as it comes, so as long as that moment is pleasant, I'm rolling with it.

 

[MarfMaster]

Random I know, but I had the urge to wade through your thread and find these pics, just to remember how amazing your paint on this sculpt looks. ____ing brilliant.

Very well said SilentSurfer

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thanks borther. I know you get it.

Jee, I wonder why you would pull that one up... I can't wait to see it either.

Interesting, I think I am picking up what you're putting down. Best of luck Nathan, I doubt you'll need it. Hopefully I can get in on a commission some time.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thanks. I hope to make myself available to everybody very soon, Deak.

 

[genorules]

Nathan, think you'll be making your way to doing that batch of Serial Killer sculpts soon?

 

[SilentSurfer]

Yes, they are coming up soon. I've got another pretty large batch waiting. That, Walter White, and about 3 evil Superman paint enhancements. Those are my big three batches at this time.

Walter will be starting tomorrow, cause one of them is time sensitive for a project Trevor is working on.

Well said Nathan!

[genorules]

Beautiful work sir.

 

[MarfMaster]

Holy ____, incredible...that stubble detail is amazing. I swear to god you paint flesh with pores.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thanks guys.

It really depends on the quality of the sculpted skin texture whether or not I can get that pore look. Erick does some of the best skin texture on 1/6 heads I've seen. This was a pleasure to paint.

 

[The Rogster]

that's the most realistic paint job i've ever seen, like, ever. Those eyes + that stubble = win, so much win.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thanks Rogster. I've had a little practice.

Can't wait to see the evil supermen!

 

[King Darkness]

Phenomenal! Skin tone and blemishes are freakishly real!

 

[zenonithus]

That Tom Hanks head is incredible! Your painting skills are inspirational! How did you achieve that fine stubble?!
