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

[SilentSurfer]

Thank you.

Great paint up and sculpt... although I'll be interested to see how the final product turns out. The Luke looked great on the Rancor proto, but in hand was pretty bad... shame too as the sculpt was spot-on.

Yes, I did. I'm still going through messages little by little. Sorry to leave you hanging. I'll get back to you.

Ok cheers Nathan.

I would like to thank so many of you, my fellow Freaks, for all the support and praise over the past couple years. It has been and will continue to be my pleasure to provide my services to so many of you.

Due to much appreciated, overwhelming response, I regret to inform you all that I will no longer be accepting NEW customers for a while. My waitlist is just too long already, and it is my desire to catch that up in order to provide a more timely turnaround on future commissions.

Existing and repeat customers may still submit requests. You should already have my email address, so please feel free to send requests there. It is much easier to communicate via email than PM. Anybody who has an email or PM pending prior to today's date, you're in. Replies to those requests will be forthcoming in time.

Thank you all again for your support and enthusiasm. You consistantly make my day. I will still be an active member of the Freaks forum, and I will continue to post my work on your pieces and for Sideshow here on a regular basis. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Please remember when emailing to include your Freaks name in the subject line to help me keep you all organized.

Hope I made the cut. It's been a pleasure watching your transformation over the years, I still hope to be able to own a piece painted by you.
Here's to many more years of growth and appreciation.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thank you very much. You make it sound like goodbye though.

 

[MarfMaster]

Very glad to have gotten something on your table in time. Owning some of your work has been long overdue for me, really looking forward to it

 

[SilentSurfer]

I didn't think this was going to be revealed until later, but here is the Collector's Edition Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception set including the mini-statue I painted for it.

With the base, it's about 7" or so.

 

[SilentSurfer]

I had crappy lighting when I took these pics, but here are some of my own shots of the statue.

Movin on up Nathan! Looks awesome!

 

[SilentSurfer]

"Moving on up." ???

 

[Dark Passenger]

How did you get involved with that? Through Sideshow or another company?

 

[kenobiobi]

Congrats Nate!

I can appreciate how much harder it gets to paint detail when the scale shrinks. You even have your beard stubble there, it looks great.

Was Sideshow connected to this or is your name being spread to other companies now?

If you look at the ad for the collectors edition, it says Sideshow Collectibles right under the Drake statue.

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thanks guys. If you look closely at the tiny pic of everything included in the set, you can see that it says "Nathan Drake statue by Sideshow Collectibles."

 

[SilentSurfer]

Natrix beat me to the answer while I was typing.

 

[stshammgod]

Agh, I thought you were getting work beyond Sideshow. Still, awesome stuff to be involved with, and it looks great!
