Re: Ski's GI JOE Customs etc...

Wow! Damn fine work man... not only are the sculpts kickin, but you are modding some aweseome looking clothes.

Nemesis is looking epic :rock

Thanks GB, I hope that he turns out great, I've worked hard on him and hopefully everything will turn out.

Thanks for the compliments, it's greatly appreciated and helps on the motivation :rock
 
Re: Ski's GI JOE Customs etc...

Yes sir that is true, I started sculpting, painting and bashing in January I believe.

I continuously alternate between jealous and impressed. One of these days I am going to take classes on sculpting and painting.

I may not have the natural talent...but by god I am going to learn one way or another.
 
Re: Ski's GI JOE Customs etc...

I think you have done a tremendous job on the armour.
Loving all the little details on it.

Looking good Meaty. For a dolt you do fine custom work. :clap

Thank you fellas, yeah I'm gonna try to add more details to overall look, he's so different from anyone I've ever sculpted/bash that he'll be worth the extra effort. It will be awesome as he'll bring the total Cobra gang together kind of being the center piece.

I think he'll definitely draw the eyes or attention totally on him first before anyone looks at my other figures :( :lol

I really do appreciate that man!!! :bow

I'll say this it's terrible at the beginning but by asking questions, watching tutorials, exploring paint apps, you do gain more and more knowledge to where the first experience of learning soon become trivial but the learning curve was definitely a challenge but a good challenge for myself as I wanted to become better and better. Of course I'm still striving with more techniques and options to help my sculpts as well :banghead

I've always been into art as a kid which I think is what really helped me with this, I probably would of chose it as a profession if it wasn't so hard to make money as a starving artist and not chose computers/engineering as my background but I think the two have really come together, I have some great ideals with electronics and 1/6, I just hope no one thinks my customs might be/get over the top.
 
Re: Ski's GI JOE Customs etc...

There is no such thing as over the top as long as it is true to the source material. If you were making NE light up just for the sake of lighting up that is one thing, but it was perfect for the BAT. And if it helps, we'll tell you if you've gone too far. As of yet, I haven't seen anyone go over the top. Not even Seb. His work is mindblowing no doubt, but never 'over the top' just for the heck of it. And so far you too. BAT and NE are looking fan-freakin-tastic, but you didn't make them over the top just for the heck of it. They are perfect. Nice light up and nice wing span (you could have gone over the top with those!). :rock

I agree completely.
I don't think you're going over the top at all.
Everything you do via electronics or the wings are well justified and serve the figure. :lecture
