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

[SilentSurfer]

I hesitate to make it just another gore paint up, you're the boss.

Here's more detail of the closed mouth head.

No flash and with flash.

All flash.

That's awesome, did you completely strip the original paint off the sculpt?

 

[Corrose]

Could I peek at some similar angled posts of open mouth to help decide?

 

[SilentSurfer]

I was processing them.

That's awesome, did you completely strip the original paint off the sculpt?

Nope. Painted right over the top of it. Sometimes stripping the paint off leaved the sculpted eye detail caked with a bit of paint, and these eyes didn't look very cleanly sculpted to begin with.

As I have been typing all of this the UPS guy showed up with a delivery from Nathan, everyone's favorite Blood Spatter guy.

Seriously...I'm beside myself, the work is beyond anything I have seen, what a truly amazing piece of artwork. Your skill goes beyond technique, color theory, application, it's actually taking a piece, and basically breathing life into it.

I think this is a new grail for me, and I am proud to own another work of art from you my friend.

Thank you as always for sharing your talents with others.

Amazing. It's simply amazing how much a great paint job can change the look of a piece. Great work on this Nathan, just superb!

 

[SilentSurfer]

Thank you as always for sharing your talents with others.

And thank you and everybody at Idea Planet for sharing my talent with me. This thing came out beautifully. You guys did my proto paint total justice.

This looks great. Idk if I'd go blood though because of the detail in that Maw. Perfection.

 

[Corrose]

Yeah we decided little to zero blood in the maw and some light spattering around the outside of the mouth.

CANNOT WAIT!

 

[SilentSurfer]

I only added a little blood in the mouth so it didn't look weird that it wasn't there, but I liked the idea of a spray pattern coming out of it, so here you go, Chris!

 

[stshammgod]

And so quickly too!

 

[Corrose]

FANTASTIC!!!! Very, very, very happy!

 

[SilentSurfer]

Glad to hear it. Igor will be in touch.

 

[Buttmunch]

That's some serious awesome vamp work Nathan

 

[Dark Passenger]

Incredible work.

Eye positions, Omar, for regular and chemsuit?

Eye positions, Omar, for regular and chemsuit?

I sent some instructions via email to Igor regarding that. Here's what I said:

About the Breaking Bad figures... absolutely we can do some different eye positions. Bruised Walter and Bald Jesse should can have off center positioning. I plan on displaying both sitting on a 1/6 couch with walter on the right and jesse on the left... so maybe Jesse's eyes will be to the right slightly and walt's to the left that way their heads will be turned towards eachother but their eyes looking forward. Also, bald jesse can be a little bloodshot too.

I know that the sculpt has very narrow eyes if possible for Heisenberg (mustache Walt) with eyes glaring upwards towards the brow if you catch my meaning... intense stare like this:

As for Gus, Mike, Haired Jesse, and 1 of the series premiere Walts I'd like them to be straight on. For the other Haired Walt, we can do an off center position. Cool?

Let me know if you need some clarification. I believe I sent Igor a reference image of what they would look like on the couch

Basically slightly to the right with bloodshot effect for chemsuit, and straight on for Jesse with Hair.
