Hey, guys! I'm so, glad to be here! I had such a good time with you guys during FAMcon. We need to do this more often :duff

I may not be around as much as Nathan, but I'll be around for sure:wave

:welcome1: Igor, its nice to see you,ve sneaked out of the Lab to more madness - enjoy your stay :)
 
Meeting you all and just feeling like we've all been friends forever was beyond words. I don't want to wait until 2014. Us Cali FAMily need to find other excuses to hang out more often.:1-1:

This! :lecture:lecture:lecture

I had such a blast with everyone on Friday night. Like you said, it was amazing how it seemed like we had all been friends forever. A cherished memory, that's for sure. :)
 
I'm bummed I'm missed Friday night cause I had to get things organized for Saturday, sounds like you all had a blast, really wish I could have made it.
 
Sounds like you all had a great time and I'm sad to have missed it. It's that damn continent in the way... :gah:

One of the most amazing transformations ever! Especially after Nathan broke down everything that was done to it. Just boggles the mind! :exactly:
 
Elvira is an absolute beaut, Nathan. Something to be immensely proud of, as is all of your work.
 
Thanks guys. I am damn proud of her. Here's one more pic with a new "Elvira's Movie Macabre" ticket I made for her. A little more iconic and less busy.

Notice the ticket number is the date of this year's Halloween?

The Perfect Elvira To Own - incredible Work Nathan - could you still display the open coffin and step base behind her....

Thought about it, but the bases don't jive, and she doesn't fit on the new one. I may still come up with something though. I would love to use the coffin.

One of the most amazing transformations ever! Especially after Nathan broke down everything that was done to it. Just boggles the mind! :exactly:

Here's the breakdown.

1) cut original head off and grind down neck

2) graft neck from Coffin version on so that head position is correct for Trevor's intended eye pose, and so hair fits like a glove

3) grind bat's feet from right index finger and cut off index finger

4) break right hand off (if not exclusive which is switchable, but mine wasn't)

5) cut left elbow, wrist, pinky (in two places), and thumb off

6) graft on more accurate bracelets from Coffin version for both right and left wrists

7) reposition fingers, graft and blend

8) carefully drill finger out of pearl ring and slip ring onto right ring finger

9) grind down and graft left wrist back on in new position

10) repaint

11) graft left elbow in new position so hand is on belt

12) Photoshop ticket for her to hold

And all that was after casting myself a knife that was missing from the figure when I bought it as a 'damaged box discount'.

13) recast and paint knife

That's what I was waiting for. The genius behind this piece. :exactly:

Oh and of course, she looks damn sexy Nathan.....but I already told you that.
