DarkArtist's Creations of DOOM!

[pjam]

Congrats Josh, on all fronts (except the, er hmm, Game. But I'm a Giants fan so NO mercy from me Bro. :lol) Truth is it could have gone either Way.

But to receive a Cane Vader, that figure has to be the sickest figure on the Planet, there simply is NOTHING like it.

Congrats Bro, on your new home and figs...

and Sean, you are a good man, my Man.

Now on to "other stuff" right Josh? :D

[DarkArtist81]

Wow Josh! That is the greatest haul day ever!
Glenn and Sean RULE! :rock

Man, am I jealous of that Vader! Bravo! :clap

Thanks Les! I can't wait to one day show it to you in person. Sean and Glenn are the best, those guys really made my day. :rock

And thanks Paul... Yeah, that game was a nailbiter. Could have gone either way for sure. And yes....on to other things. :D

[Les Walker]

Thanks Les! I can't wait to one day show it to you in person. Sean and Glenn are the best, those guys really made my day. :rock



Oh yeah! DAMN! I will get to HOLD a CANE VADER one day! Man, YOU WILL BE BRINGING THAT ONE OVER! :lol Please...:monkey3

Great stuff!
(BTW, I was for NY, so there is some balance in the world! :lol :o :D)

[Batty]

That Hurricane Vader is simply amazing. Congrats on getting one. I hope one day we get something close to that from Sideshow.

And MaulFan... :rock :rock :rock

[DarkArtist81]

Damn Josh, you really brought out his inner warrior, his face looks PISSED, no wonder he survived to get so old, great job dude.

Thanks a lot Sean! I mostly did work on his face and armor... In the face, I really wanted the area around his eyes to be darker as well as the areas on the side of his head where the spikes are. I just wanted him to be a bit more grizzled and such.

It was a lot of fun in the end. I'm really happy with the results. :rock

[The Josh]

Impressive Josh. That Predator is freaking great.

Well it paid off Josh, that's the most evil badass Predator I've ever seen. I'm glad I have a Hot Toys Predator figure now, I can appreciate what you and Les have done so much more knowing the canvas you two lay your paint on.

You got the eyes Bro, so important. :D Can't wait to see the rest!

ps: You may also want to post Luke pics in the Bes Luke thread. I would think a lot of guys may to do this too. Correct the eyes, do a Dagobah.

Although mine is a Dagobah/Besbin arrival, same thing I guess...

Thanks a lot bro! I was waiting on your response... really wanted to do you proud. I dirtied the clothing today and fixed the eyes, brows and lips on your Luke. Yoda is almost done as well, so keep an eye out there. It's gonna be rough though, that Hasbro Yoda is pretty harsh. :lol

Here are a few more pics of him that I took a few days ago..

:lol

Yeah, I hear ya but the sculpt is fairly decent I think, and it actually has more articulation than the Med Yoda, but let's face it, it ain't no Med Yoda. :lol

Remember to redo his cane too! It's the only Yoda I got :lol :D

[MaulFan]

http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k203/DarkArtist81/Customs2/DSCN3977.jpg

Predators may not speak much, but those eyes are saying "I'm gonna **** you up!" Great job there. It's cool to see your take on a Predator.

[Zoomaround]

Josh,

As always, nice work. Not only did you capture the perfect menacing facial expression on that Predator, you also captured a bada** stance.

I absolutely love the innocence in Luke's face. You really captured the moment of a young boy's Jedi training.

And last, but not least, I'm very pleased with Buffy's new zombified look.
Excellent! :clap

[Les Walker]

Wonderful on the Luke! Wonderful on the Elder!
YUCK! But still wonderful on the Buffy! :D (I hate seeing her all jacked up like that, but you did a great job on it!)
:rock

[orbitingx]

Luke's expression really does look innocent in those shots.

The eye work and placement really tone down the suprized look that him and Jedi Luke suffer from in their factory paint apps.(and the lack of that crappy white dot that makes the pupils look uneven and just weird)

Awesome work on the pred as well Josh :cool:

[Les Walker]

(and the lack of that crappy white dot that makes the pupils look uneven and just weird)


Agreed! :rock
Don't get me started on that damned white dot again! :monkey4 :lol

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks a lot guys... I hate that damn white dot too. Les and I have gone over that many times in our discussion... how the White dot just keeps popping up, even though you would think that it would have been phased out ages ago... :lol

I do want to revisit the Elder down the road, just to repaint his body, hands and feet.... So that will be a nice project when the time comes. Luke was fun, I really wanted to do the more hopeful version of the character. Pre-Vader fight, pre-burdened by the weight of his parental heritage.. In comparison to my own Bespin Luke, I wanted him to look miles apart from it... and I am glad to see that I somewhat achieved that goal.

Buffy was just fun, plain and simple. I just hacked her up, sculpted a bit... and went to town. It was just FUN. :rock

More coming soon, this weekend is all about the PAINT! :chew

[DarkArtist81]

Some more pics of my Joker... anyone that is interested in one... pop me a PM. :rock

[Les Walker]

Dasa more likeit! :rock

[Rogue Trooper]

Nice a tommy-gun and another version of luke is always welcome from me anyway. The backpack that Yoda goes in, did you make the straps and metal buckles? looks really good if its hasbros.

Thanks a lot Les and Ian! The yoda backpack is ALL Hasbro, believe it or not. Pretty nice actually, if not a bit big on the SSC Luke. Still looks good though, in the end.

[great1]

I photoshopped a recolour of your Joker, I didn't do the shirt or tie pattern though.

****ing sweet!@:rock cant wait to see what josh comes up with after all the painting and dyeing of the outfit!

[Les Walker]

Great recolor of this set! Having held that head in person, I can say, the color correction got it dead on! Better lighting with that.
And the colors of the "dyed" clothing looks about right. Tricky blue that shirt is, but the rest looks just right. Looks like standard Rit Purple to me.

Good luck with this set Josh. Will be a nice one to see actually finished.

[Buttmunch]

Wow! That photoshopping does look great! The only thing is the pants should have pinstripes. I know that is adding to my struggle for clothes. Dying shouldn't be a problem though.

Also, I think his shoes are actually brown.

[DarkArtist81]

Awesome job Great1!! Yeah, the color is just right...looks fantastic. The pinstripes on the pants will be problematic, but I might just use a ruler and freehand them or something... hard to strip color from an existing pinstripe suit and then dye it purple without losing the stripes.

But it is coming along, just waiting on suit sets...

For now... check out the LINE O JOKERS. :D

[MaulFan]

There's something fitting and beautiful about an image of 2 ruthless killing machines with a pile of heads at their feet.

[moxie]

Haven't been able to browse all the pages, but you have some great work here. It is cool to see the beginning and the stages you have progressed thru to your current state. I am starting into the bashing scene, and looking to do my own painting and sculpting work; Seeing your work from the start to now definitely helps me see what I can do in the future.

Inspiring work all around. The Heath - Joker is just awesome. Looking foward to your next work.

[The Josh]

Any progress shots on the Obi-Wan head?

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks guys... Moxie, I know EXACTLY how you feel. When I first arrived, Customikey was the king of all repaints here and I was in awe of his work. Daily I would come and see what he could do, every single time... just amazed at what was possible.

It all started out innocently enough with a desire to fix my figures and make them look more real.... Now it is a huge business for me and more importantly, a creative outlet.

You should go with it and just let it happen, you will not regret picking up the brush. :rock

And Josh, sadly... I haven't even been able to start on Obi yet. I have a couple of items that have been on my shelf for months that need IMMEDIATE attention. But, you Clone is just about ready... putting the final touches on him tomorrow. And I will get started on Obi as well, just at least get his hair glued on and the base coat for the skin finished.

Just busy busy busy around here... :lol

[venakin skywalker]

Both you and Les inspired me to do my own work, and the thought of being broke, I couldn't pay for your repaints lol.. so I thought I'd save money by doing them myself!! I am truely amazed at how friendly you two were. A public Thank you to Les and Josh.

Thank YOU Venny, for being so nice and for having the guts to go for it. Art lives within us all, and our personalities come out in our work as we progress in skill. The Anakin you have on your shelf is a small piece of me, something that helped me to oust inner demons.

In your work, you will find therapy, joy and mental exercise. It's really an experience quite it's own, especially once you delve into 100% creative, non portrait work.

I am very excited to see you going down this path and cannot wait to see where it takes you. Welcome aboard Venny. :duff

[The Josh]

Awesome! Just wanted to check in. When you get closer to finishing it just let me know I'll get that second ROTS Obi-Wan ordered. Can't wait on the Clone. :D

[moxie]

Thanks for the encouragement, both you and Les have been really receptive to the newcomers (I am sure that there are many more, but haven't gotten around much here yet), and that has really boosted my interest in doing my own custom work. Don't see why I should wait for someone else to do what I like or what interests me.

Will be watching your progress and may probe you with questions every now and then, if that is alright.

Thanks again, and Keep Them Coming!!!!

Looks sweet! But I only count 11 heads, where is #12?

And the more I see your Joker, the more I actually just like the outfit he is in now. Kinda like Batman's protosuit, he hasn't quite fine-tuned his likes to his suit yet. The photoshopped image shows though you have all of the right pieces just waiting to be dyed. When (if) you do the pinstriping, I'd be interesting in knowing how to do it for mine as well.

[great1]

Thanks for the compliments on the photoshop image guys! I had some spare time and just couldn't wait to see the results on Josh's Joker.

I didn't do the pinstripes on purpose because it would have been a little on the ticky side to get them to look natural since there is so many waves in the pants.

Nice to see you will be attempting the pinstripes Josh, will you also be doing the hexagon pattern on his shirt?

[drunk_leprechaun]

i found some pretty large pics of the ledgers joker. im posting them here for now.hope it helps:chew

Notice how in the picture on the right you can see that he is also wearing some sort of jacket under the trench coat. Another detail you can see is the chain attached to his pants.

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks for the shots guys! Man, I wish I could line the coat like that shot.. :monkey2

Yeah, Great1... he is wearing a full suit underneath that coat, and is wearing what looks like a pocketwatch or something. Should be fun to see what happens on that front.

Should be fun to see what happens on that front.if you want a chain like that you should check out the vampire spike figure from sideshow. he has that gold chain necklace thing. its a pretty good size chain so you could get it to hang like that. if you just want the chain check out http://toyanxiety.com/template.jsp?page=Search&search_keyword=spike it's at the bottom of the page.

[drunk_leprechaun]

wont the figure look a little too puffy if a regular suit is used underneath the longcoat? i think a vest is all thats needed underneath the longcoat.. should help keep the figure skinny looking.

[DarkArtist81]

Exactly what I intend to do... I will keep it sans inner jacket when posed with the coat, like mine is now... And when I take the coat off, put the jacket in it's place. A regular houdini act. :lol

It just looks waaaay too poofy with both.

[drunk_leprechaun]

Josh, let me know if you recieved the payment. im fickle with using paypal lol.

Yep! And Paul, work is still coming along... That damn Yoda is giving me HELL. I am going to tackle it hard tomorrow. I really have yours and a few others that have GOT to be finished tomorrow before I start going into full on Joker mode. Last week I couldn't get anything done.

I sat down last weekend and just stared at the work. Couldn't produce a thing. It was insane. But I guess my muse was not with me. This weekend, I'm hoping she will pay me a visit so I can get this done. :monkey3

Don't sweat the Yoda Bro! Please! If its giving you hell. Maybe weather the outfit, do the cane. I like the sculpt, just the paint apps seemed light/faded in color and I wanted the eyes to pop better. Maybe drybrush a few layers on it to get the color toned correctly and just repaint the eyes. :D Easy peasy.

And remember some sweat on Luke. Btw, I love what you did with my Luke. I also want to use him for eventual Vader battle poses but I think that look will also be ideal. He was still innocent then too. Not yet a Jedi.

[DarkArtist81]

Cool Paul. I actually just finally got the skin tone on Yoda done, and I am very happy with the results. So he will be done today! And I can add the sweat to Luke for sure, since I have yet to do any gloss on the eyes yet. And I can finish this set TODAY! :rock

Woo-Hoo! :woo

I couldn't ask for more, amazing work, it is SO Mark it rocks. The eye fix and expression makes a HUGE difference.... You brought him to life. and I love the shot composition.

But Yoda looks WAAAY too dark to me Bro, ESB Yoda that is. I should have articulated this to you better so I'll take the hit on this. Maybe its the pics but I've always seen him in my mind's eye like this...

http://threads.rebelscum.com/photogallery/data/500/medium/cap169.jpg

More of a ming green or a patina green I guess. Much lighter. Can we closer match this color tone? Please Bro?

It's cool... I just redid the tones a bit.. I don't have pastels, not really happy with the grainy texture it gives a portrait. But Yoda is a very hard color to get right, the color is an odd one. :lol

I did a bit of a lightening rework, let me know if I am close.

:lol Yeah, that Hasbro Yoda... :google

It's funny, I did not notice how bad it was off until Paul posted the pic and MAN was he too dark. I hate trying to paint accurately over here at the in laws. It is a pain.... :monkey2

[The Josh]

Josh you need to go to the custom section at Sandtroopers and talk a little bit about your custom Joker. One of the other Mods is asking about it in my Shock thread.

[pjam]

:rotfl He does have some meat hooks on him.

Looks a lot better Josh, not as much like Yoda brutha from anutha mutha. :lol

Using this still I think your work will serve as a great undertone to a "mint green/patina -ish" dry brushing over...
know what I mean Bro?

That Shock Trooper looks amazing. I like the official one that was done, but I like the one you painted up alot more, think its the battle damage look that it has....especially on the visor. ST's have been my favorite of all the clones, with only Commander Bly ahead of them.

[Sick Boy 82]

Josh, I was just wondering what brand of paints you use? I have a ton of Citadel paints and brushes, which is supposed to be used for painting WH 40K miniatures. Do you use this brand of paints and brushes? Or do you mainly just airbrush stuff?

[DarkArtist81]

I usually use whatever brushes I can use really, as long as they work for acrylic paint. For paints I am pretty much a die hard Model Master Acryl user. I sometimes use the cheap wal mart paint, but mostly for dirt and grime since it dries chalky. Never really had any experience with the Citadel paint, is it enamel or Acrylic?

[Sick Boy 82]

Acrylic. Heres a link to one of the sets I got:

How fast do they usually take deliver stuff to you, ive got plenty of time to do this but i can't figure out where this shop is.

Looking forward to seeing your jason scuplt, came into the hobby too late so i haven't been able to get any new line horror figures. the one i want are damn hard to get.

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks a lot everyone, I know it's been dry around here... But Storerooms takes a looong time to ship stuff, not their fault.. just mail from HK can sometimes drag along. So my suits are still in the post... :monkey2

But I am making progress on other projects, trying to master Yoda's skin tone for Pjam, and working dilligantly to get my skin tone skills back in order. Just haven't been able to get anything right these past few weeks, must be in some sort of slump.

But, I am confident that I can pull myself free and do some quality work this weekend. :rock

Man Josh, those heads look so damned good man, seriously so close to the real thing. You do some amazingly beautiful, and disturbingly good work my friend!! So damned cool. Can't wait to see some more of your work.

Just so you know, you will be getting an Indy and Armored Obi in Q3 for some of your magic touch! No ^^^^.

Damn, I didn't even see those Craigs, HOLY S H I T!!!!

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks a lot Zack! I'm glad you liked them. Those Bond heads are amazing to paint, I'm very fortunate to be able to paint them. And it was a fun thing to do, my Bond was all torn up, fresh from the stairwell fight.. so it's cool to get a chance to do the other versions of the character.

And dude, can't WAIT to work on Indy and Obi. I'm going to do so much weathering and battle damage to those two... it's not even funny. :lol

Craw, the Wesley heads are next on my list. Right after these Bonds and Serlings. So he is gonna be tackled as soon as I can, really excited to paint them.

Les, I'm glad you got it safely man. I should have a finished head here by tomorrow I hope, so you will see how I am going to approach it. Almost finished it last night. I really cannot wait to see what you do with BM's. :rock

You designed it the tail wing art?, got to give a little info on this.

[chuck20]

that's pretty amazing. Nice job on the paint, i would love to see a pic of your jet for reference. :D

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks guys! Yeah, my Master Chief and I designed the look together. It used to be a black tail with a knight painted there. Years ago they had red bloodstripes on a grey tail but you could only make the "show bird" look good. The regular planes in the squadron would look pretty plain in comparison. So we came together and thought up a design with combat grey down the body of the jet, on the top, Combat grey verticle stabilizers with either red or light grey stripes. And after 9/11 we designed the american flag decal with the black knights around it. Pretty cool experience.. here are some pics.

[Masao]

Bizarre! That Scully is completely different from the one I bought! Is there some variation in the molds???

[DarkArtist81]

Bizarre! That Scully is completely different from the one I bought! Is there some variation in the molds???

Nope, that is the same sculpt... just new paint. :D

And thanks for the kind words on Two Face... I'm still hacking away at him, trying to make it look as gruesome as I can. :rock

[MaulFan]

Josh, what's the base sculpt for your Two Face? Can't wait til you take your brush to it.

[Les Walker]

Awesome Two-Face! Man! You are giving me serious thoughts about getting my 1939 one done sooner than later!
But seriously, that is too cool. You ARE gonna mold and cast that I hope!?
(You really should make your own original zombies too! I mean, your own LINE of Zombies! Not like anyone owns the names or properties! Just generic Zombies....food for thought....)

Anyway, great stuff!
And love the plane art too Josh. I remember you telling me about that on one of our visits. Cool to see it.

(And I liked Top Gun. Wasn't NUTS about it, but saw it at the theatre in an air base town, Savannah, GA, when it came out and loved the experience of seeing it! So 80's and so cool! See...I LOVED the 80's! Best time of my life! I was in art college, the music ruled, and it wasn't so damn grim and black and downer and all then, but was upbeat. LOVED that decade! My favorite BY FAR of any I've lived so far. :rock )

[galactiboy]

Man, great idea on how to do a Two-Face... can't wait to see the finished product :rock

[DarkArtist81]

The head for Two face is from a just released Dragon figure, Rudolf Mertens. I sawed it nearly in half, filled the head with Sculpey and began carving away. So far I am finding that I was heavily influenced by Tim Sale's rendition of the character, with that almost sinewy look to the burnt side. Like the acid had splashed and burned as it dripped down his face, causing the wound to have lines gouged out... almost like rivers drawn on a map. And of course, the bulging eyeball. :lol

I AM going to mold this sucker too, so expect that down the line. AND I am also going to make my very own zombies that will be casted and available eventually, my own little line of madmen that I can sell wherever.. :rock

[Kabukiman]

I AM going to mold this sucker too, so expect that down the line. AND I am also going to make my very own zombies that will be casted and available eventually, my own little line of madmen that I can sell wherever.. :rock

ooooo, Now that I am trying my hand at painting, the prospect of taking on all those bumps on that Two-Face is intriguing. I'll be keeping an eye out for that sale thread for sure. :rock

I might even be in the market for some zombies as the wife has taken an interest in painting zombies. We both still suck, but that won't stop us! :lol

[Sick Boy 82]

Josh, that looks so damned amazing!!! Another killer sculpt! Can't wait to see it with paint.

I am going to cut a suit in two, dye one side, and sew it back together very roughly. I want it to look very harsh, like a truly insane man put it together in haste.

Yep. To truly understand the mind of a madman, one must be a little crazy themselves. :D

I baked the head today and am going to get the mold material ASAP. So will have details on it as it gets closer. :rock

Nice man, can't wait to see the final figure.

Package sent off Priority to you today. Should be there next week.

Josh, that Two-Face head is so damned crazy. Just the half face peaking out is hella scary. Excellent job man. Just amazing!!

[Mortar Conn]

Love the Tomcat design, Josh. Too bad they've retired those birds.

Hey, any update on my Anakin Resculpt? Thanks man.

[Buttmunch]

Hey Josh I got a question for ya. How do you bake heads like Two-Face where you are adding to an already existing sculpt? Like what temperature, what do you put it on, etc. etc.

I tried two times before, one never cooked and the other overcooked. You seem to have it down though.

Well, first thing.. When you are sculpting onto the old head, you have to really press it on there. Make sure it's rubbed on the best you can, so that it kinda bonds with the plastic when you bake it. I bake my heads at 260 degrees, on a pizza plate or tinfoil. Usually for about 14-15 minutes. After that it should be pretty solid.

Love the Tomcat design, Josh. Too bad they've retired those birds.

Hey, any update on my Anakin Resculpt? Thanks man.

MC

Yeah, I miss my Tomcats... :monkey2

And good news on the Anakin, it is almost done! All that it needs are the eyes, I was actually just going to contact you and ask again what eyes you wanted. I seem to have lost that record, and I wanted to be sure on it. I think it was the Sith eyes with the tears, but I wanted to be 100% before I did them.

Good thing is, that the eyes will be a quick job. So it will be ready very very shortly. :rock

Josh, that Two-Face head is so damned crazy. Just the half face peaking out is hella scary. Excellent job man. Just amazing!!

Thanks man, I wanted to show the structure of the burnt side. Just so everyone could see how it would look, I took great care to be sure that the burned side matched the facial dynamics of the other side. Bone structure and eye placement, all that good stuff. :duff

[great1]

Yes indeed. :D

I am going to cut a suit in two, dye one side, and sew it back together very roughly. I want it to look very harsh, like a truly insane man put it together in haste.

Which colours are you planning on doing?

Personally I would do either black/white or black/red but I am sure anything would work,

... well almost anything :rotfl

[DarkArtist81]

I'm thinking either Black/White or Black/Red. I'll probably try the first and see if I like it, and if I don't... dye the white red. :rock

I like the black/white/hint of red... like the Tim Sale version ...

[Rogue Trooper]

Nice two-face, like how your turning a generic dragon head into something awesome. That scared side look super nasty.

[Hollis DZC]

Wow! That Two Face turned out great!! Excellent job! Are you going to offer any of these up?

At WonderCon this past weekend, I saw a pretty good Two Face costume. What he did for the suit, was pour a bunch of bleach on the one side. It totally changed it into a Two Face suit. I was really surprised how such a simple thing could have such a great effect!

-Rex

[Reinhardt]

this is seriously AMAZING work Josh!! Are you going off a particular picture for Two-Face, or is this from your imagination?

[DarkAngelDTB]

thats what you call a GREAT and Horrifically scarred up Two face. Great work buddy.

Dean :D

[Customikey]

That's really screwed up, Josh. I'm actually having a hard time looking at it. Can't wait to see it painted!

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks a bunch everyone, I can't wait to get cracking on that Two Face. :rock

To update everyone, I haven't been able to be online and won't be for a few days. I moved over to the new house and we won't have internet until sometime next week or perhaps later if there are problems. But I am working hard to get done with paint work in the meantime, at least once we get moved in fully and settled.

And Joker update, I got most of the suits... so I will try to get some dying done ASAP and get these going out. Updates as I get them.

And for those waiting on PM replies, I'm very sorry... I wish I had more time I would answer you all. But once things get turned on I will be able to. Thanks guys, wish me luck. :lol

I'm glad you posted these pics in DA's thread. I've missed the chatting that usually goes on here in last couple of days. As I said before, DA did an awesome job on your Shocktrooper. Congrats Josh (both of you).

[The Josh]

I wanted to post these here so anyone who doesn't venture to the SW section to see how great his work is. He's just a great talent and I'm very lucky to have his work in my collection.

[Buttmunch]

That Shocktrooper looks great! The color seems a bit too dark to be film accurate, but I like it better. In those shots it almost looks like he was painted with blood. That to me just screams DA's work if nothing else. I do think it makes the Shocktrooper more sinister looking.

Way to keep the thread alive while Josh is in unavailable to do so himself. :rock

As for those awaiting paint projects, know that this weekend I am confined at the house and will be devoting my first normal weekend to you guys.

Hey Darkartist,

Hey Michael,
I waited 3 months and just got my stuff last week. And I was one of the first to ever commission work from Josh so please exercise patience my friend and you will be rewarded. Josh will take care of you. Plus he had to move and is not linked online yet.

I'm sure he'll get back to soon, so try to give him a break.

[Mooncat]

Conan, I doubt very much its because he's ignoring you

If you expect the figures or repaints within a 2 month turn around (and youve not had a confirmed correspondant saying you will get a 2 month turn around) then your probably in for a bit of a shock

Darkartist is probably like a few of the customisers on these boards with a 6 - 12 month turnaround, I know at least 2 other customisers who are in this situation

Given the quality and expertise of Darkartist I very much doubt he can do normal turn arounds in anything less than 6 months

He is that much in demand

I may have misread the situation, and if I have then I apologise for butting my nose in.

But it wont be a case of him ignoring you, knowing the work and the way he has dealt with clients in the past on these boards it wont be a case of him taking your money and swindling you, so dont worry

and Im sure once he has read your post he will contact you

either to refund your money or explain the situation

1) He hasn't had much access to the internet since he moved and they are wiring their new house.

2) When working with customizers patience is usually the best policy. I know guys who have been waiting on custom projects for far longer than 2 months. I myself am working with a custom (not from Josh) that thus far has taken 15 months.

:wave

[Les Walker]

Yeah, Conan, as a fellow customizer, I had to step in and say something on his behalf here...
He has had a lot happen in the last few months, got married last year, starting college again, and now, moving to a new home and all that comes with that.
Like the guys say, customizing is a long term business. Anyone who knows us knows this. It is not to say we don't feel it though, and hate it when we run behind.

I can say, as one who has many customers waiting still for stuff, some even a year or so now, that if you can give him the time he needs to get back online, and to you, he will! :rock We look after our folks!

You will be well treated! He is the best! He cares.
Trust me on this.

[King Darkness]

Josh is a stand up guy, and given all his recent things going on in his life give him some time.

And like some have mentioned, 2 months isnt that long to wait at all. I am going on a year with a custom project.

Patience is the best way to go when it comes to customizing.

[galactiboy]

All the above statements are true... exercise your patience and you'll be rewarded with some awesome figures :rock

[The Josh]

Josh is class act and easy to work with. Patience is the key.

[Zoomaround]

I agree with everyone that has stepped in and spoken for Josh. He's been very busy in his personal life as well as in his professional customizing life. Just be patient. I'm going on four months waiting for my custom figure but I'm being very patient 'cause I know it's going to turn out awesome. Every so often, Josh will throw you a bone and take of pic of the work-in-progress. The entire process takes time... Again, just be patient.

Thanks a lot guys.. I've been working with Conan for a while, and I think he is just gonna cancel his orders. It's ok though, I understand. I've been more behind this past month than I have been in a long long time. But good news is coming right up...

I'm getting closer to being finished with a LOT of work. All the Serlings, Bonds, and a long awaited custom Buffy Zombie are nearing completion. Also working on a BUNCH of other items, so should be done very soon.

I have next week off from school and have yet to find employment, so I will be painting all week to take my mind off of it. :lol

Great to hear from you Josh, glad you're doing well and trucking along with everything, I'm sure it's not easy. I envy you being able to create your own little world of zen, but as always my brain is busy with ideas for my own display room someday. Maybe I'll do a photoshop mockup just for kicks. Anyway, of
