C'mon....!
Whats up with the Puller heads?





so mysterious

Thanks Pete, I love how that head came out as well! I was worried I had stayed away for too long! But the rust went away pretty quick.

And don't worry man, I won't be hanging up the brushes. It's a part of who I am, so that won't be happening. I'm just retooling my business model. I won't be doing group commissions or anything crazy in bulk like that.

I want to sculpt some more 1:1 scale stuff, maybe offer resin copies. I will also be experimenting with canvas work, and still try to make custom figures when I can. I need to step up my game with the figures, and I plan to do whatever I can to do that. So I won't be stopping... it's a part of my DNA and I couldn't stop if I tried.

That's evident in the pics painting must be like riding a bike

Great to hear you will keep at it and i look forward to seeing your results.

Great job on the sculpts , Jason and Myers look great.
Love that Myers canvas also , it's poses like that that make the character rather than violent scenes.
Calm and calculating , slow and creepy, Michael Myers !.

 

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks man... Yeah, I love it because of that fact... very calm and chilling.. not a violent scene in any way. It almost looks peaceful.

Sorry for not posting anything last night guys, but my Wife was off so I took the night off to spent time with the family. But tonight I was back at it again!

Tonight was primarily about the TOD Indy. I am very close to completion on it, finished much of the head details save for hat touchups and hair. I finished the body, it just needs some touches in the back and final weathering.

I also finished the paint work for the Jason Remake mask, and will add straps to that and the other Jason mask I have here in the coming days.

I will be sending out some quotes this coming week, as well as try to contact some of the other people who I have finished stuff for. I hope to get done with the Myers figures this week, as well as finish the Maximus statue heads (I have three left).

Currently modding the feet for the Indy... should be able to take pics later when I can have him standing.

It's for a Midevel Kurgan custom.

 

[pixletwin]

OH NOZ!!!!!

 

[DarkArtist81]

There goes a 4 year secret....

Here are some update pics for TOD Indy... with newly modded feet.

Keep in mind that the hat isn't finished, eyes need final tweaks... lips need tweaks, and clothes need final weathering. But it is very very close to being finished.

I'm glad that your Dark hours are gone and that you're back to finish your work.

I bet you feel relief now. Keep up the great work.

 

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks Seb, I really appreciate that dude. I'm glad to be back and to be trying to rectify the situation as best as I can. It's definitely a huge relief... I'm just glad that I am feeling the creative urge again, it had been so long that I worried I wouldn't be able to recapture it.

Creativity isn't something that you can lost.
It's a part of yourself, it just needs a kick sometimes.
I have been through a lot of phases questionning if I should keep doin this or not but somehow you just get back to it because you need to to that.

 

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks for the pep talk man... It means a lot coming from you. Your work is an inspiration to me right now, and that is no joke. I look at that and I remember why I love this hobby and why I shouldn't give up. You've grown by leaps and bounds and it is a joy to see the results.

Update:
Just put the final touches on Indy, he is dirtied and assembled.. hair and hat work done, and gloss finished. Another one bites the dust. Now I can finally send Bwayne his swag.

I also finished adding straps to the two Jason masks.. so pics coming tonight on those as well.

 

[DarkArtist81]

As promised... pics!

Indy looks great! It's funny how good a TT body can look with some paint work.

 

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks man! Yeah, I agree with you on the merit of painting bodies like the TT... Most of these older bodies can still look amazing if painted right.

I have wanted to do a TOD Indy for a looong time. I am glad I was finally able to get one done, even if it did take me far too long to get going with it.

That Indy is awesome, just needs a machete

 

[Reinhardt]

Indy looks awesome, and the paint work on his chest is fantastic! The only thing I might suggest is to swap his right arm out with one that has less joints, like maybe from the muscle bodies.

Do you have any pics of Conan with the pea soupy base and chopped off hand?

 

[MicroJow]

Yo, DA! How do I go about getting in line for completion on my remake Jason? Glad to see you back!
