Update and Master List for custom work from DarkArtist

[DarkArtist81]

No real updates tonight. I had a lot going on and didn't get much done. But I did mail out a few things, Skiman, and Steve (Ironman). I also located a hand to add to the base of the Conan, and mainly used my day to make castings and prepare for the next round of heads.

I still have that second Anakin that I need to find out who's it is. So I will scour the list that Carl gave me and try to figure it out. But I will have more updates in the coming days, so keep an eye on the thread!

No problem guys, glad to help out!

Tonight I am working on Jason VIII outfits, so I should have fully built pics tomorrow. I'm also working on other Jason masks and also working on a slew of Harrison Ford sculpts. Two Deckards and two Indy heads. I also finished the axes for the Jason VIII's... so those are done and ready.

Got my tracking #, I will post when my figure arrives.

That's good news Matt, it should be there any day now.

Today I realized just how much paint it takes to achieve the wet look. One whole can of gloss black spray paint later, still barely glossy. It's crazy. I figure one more coat will do it, and I can post pics tonight.

LOL, at the "moderation" .

Josh, I am now done with this thread; the figure was waiting for me when I got home from work. It looks really nice, just as nice as I remember from 3 years ago lol). I will apologize for a few of my posts, they were meant as nothing more than to evoke some sort of response; or to put simply I was trying to stir the ____. My stuff didn't make the cut with Carl's allotment, so I "figured" (ha, see what I did there ) that I was really just SOL. As I mentioned it wasn't about the money for me, it was the principle - that no one likes getting screwed over. Your extended absence from the board was mistaken by me (and can you blame me) that you had just skipped town completely; obviously I was wrong.

Anyway, thanks again, I do appreciate it; and it seems folks have a real good chance of getting their stuff. The light seems to be much brighter at the end of the tunnel now.


In the end, I don't collect 1/6 figures and so I think I will give him a good home; but Josh, you did do an EXCELLENT job on the figure. Though in my mind your artistry was never in question.

 

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks a lot Matt. This whole situation was made even harder due to the fact that I have a great memory of our talk in San Diego, and I just desperately didn't want to let you down. I really hate that things got so bad, but I'm glad they are back to being as good as they can be. I appreciate everything you said, and I too apologize for my posts as well. You are a good guy Matt, I wish you nothing but the best my friend.

Great to see things arriving. Keep at it Josh !.

I appreciate that DP, I can't describe the feeling I had every day when I walked past that room. I HATED how this ended up, and I'm just glad that I finally have been able to do something about it. I'm selling whatever I can, making whatever I can...to get the money I need to get this accomplished.

And thanks Tay, you are coming soon as well. I'm selling some stuff on ebay to help get a few things mailed out, namely your figure and a few other things.

I spent the last few days working on Jasons primarily, I have the 3 Part VIII's done... with the exception of the mask straps. I've also been making progress on the Harrison sculpts I have. The few Myers I have also are getting closer, and the Ash is getting closer.. I just cast the chainsaw and solved the hand attaching issue. I haven't had a lot of time for pics, but today I will be able to take them.

I was unable to take pics last night, my Wife and I had a late night.. Drake is starting teething, so he was inconsolable.

I was able to snap some quickies today, so here is what I have. I should have some of the Deckards and the Indy heads coming soon, still have a lot of work to do on them.

 

[PapitoMX]

Oh man, this is getting exciting!!!!!! Lovin' those last pics!!

 

[Ironman1188]

Josh, just got back from a week a way and found the items waiting for me.
Thanks! Your work is still top notch, I hope you are able to keep it up.
PLMK if you wind up doing anymore custom heads like Fury and Loomis.

 

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks guys, and Papito...it won't be long now.. just getting those straps done and they will be ready to ship.

And I really appreciate that Steve, glad you got the stuff and that you like it. I will definitely keep you informed.

 

[Skiman]

Got my stuff DA, thank you much I'll be leaving feedback shortly

 

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks Ski! Glad it arrived safely man!

 

[devilof76]

I got the jedi robe the other day Josh. Thanks again for finding it.

Good luck on the rest of your work. The end is near. -Er.

 

[DarkArtist81]

That's awesome man, I'm glad it finally arrived... sorry it took me so long. And I appreciate the kind words, yes... the end is finally in sight.

I did some work on the Gladiator kits last night, had to do a test for the helmeted head. I will let you guys know how the test went today, and post pics of what I did. But I wanted to try something that would give the helmet a bit of texture as well as eliminate brush strokes.

I also got an airbrush a couple of months ago, just need to get a air compressor and that should help speed up the painting process.

Here are a few shots of the last two Jokers, and a test shot of the Gladiator statue helmeted head. I taped off the face and eyes and sprayed the helmet.
