Awesome paint up on Cyclops, but my favorite is daredevil! Fantastic base

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thanks! DareDevil is my fave piece, too.

no slab in the lab lately

 

[SilentSurfer]

Sorry. Been busy with industry stuff I can't show.

In fact, my backlog of private commissions is getting long again, and I'll be closing the doors tight for a while.

Will you still be doing the WGP Indy heads when they are ready? I have one smiling one already paid for.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Yes, I will be honoring requests made before today, including my open invite to WGP Indy people.

I don't have any work I can post in here at the moment, but I just wanted to update everybody to let you all know I haven't disappeared. I am aware that some artists on here have had their threads filled with inquiries about their absences and continued reliability from people who haven't received their projects back. My thread's been quiet since Comic Con, but I'm staying very busy, and I'm still working on private commissions. In fact, I've gotten so busy, I've had to stop taking new orders again so I don't get burried, and I'm trying to spend more time painting and less time commenting on this forum in all the threads for overwhelming, awesome new stuff that's popped up in the last month.

Thanks for checking in Nathan, looking forward to your work on the ol' Jedi Masters.

I've been doing a lot of work, but I can't show any of it yet. I did do this little piece up today for the great guy who hooked me up with the M1 prop replica Flying Gamera '96 from the Yahoo Japan auctions. Thanks again to turbo.vs.ozone. Here's your 1/6 Ceremonial mask painted up in the style of that other alien from Predators that I thought would be a cool look for this sculpt.

Damn. Guess I sent an email at the wrong time.

 

[SilentSurfer]

No, I got your email. You're a repeater.

Does seem the WGP Indy heads are still another few weeks away from shipping while Dorgmal works out the casting.

That Predator rocks man.. great work on that. And good to hear that you are managing things well. You are a great example for artists like me who aspire to be able to have a tighter schedule and be able to juggle multiple things at once.

Keep fighting the good fight Surfer, I love everything you are doing now man.

 

[Wanderer]

You live and learn Darkartist. When you're ready, I'm sure you'll come back stronger matey
Very impressive work as ever by SilentSurfer. Progressively gets better and better with each new piece.
Wish I had the time and inclination to hone my skills but sadly there isn't enough hours in the day for me. That and my creativity comes in fits and starts...

Glad you like, TvO. Thanks for leaving it in my hands. Look forward to your email.

Thanks, guys. I do have to confess that the old saying "behind every successful man is a good woman" definitely applies here. My talent and tenacity alone might not have been enough if not for an organized wife to push me to work harder than I usually want to and to handle the business end of things for me so I can stay focused on the creative end. I could easily have become as overwhelmed and discouraged as any of the other fine artists here. God gave me a wonderful partner, and she isn't afraid to tell me when I can do a better job.

Here is a very private commission. A client had a great idea to do a voluptuous take on the 50ft Woman for a 1/4 scale diorama. He will be adding a wig and some clothing later, but this was very fun to do; the first time I've used my translucent flesh techniques on a full body paint up with tanlines. And, yes, she is very anatomically correct, so you will have to visit my Facebook album to see the full set of pics. https://www.facebook.com/#!/media/set/?set=a.188070944550912.46589.100000440233124&type=1
