As far as you know, does Sean Dabs do head sculpt painting commissions? I'm looking for a painter.
Yelim Choi isn't taking commissions inquiries now but will start again 3rd quarter 2021. Must be quite busy.

It's finding the right people to get the job done. I used 357partment to paint the custom head but must have gotten one of their apprentices or drunk painters, since I've been told there's more than one painter at 357partment.
I didn't send the body as I sent the HS directly from Unreal to 357partment. They got the skin colour wrong.
What should I do now?

If you are still looking for a painter you might try Onesixthvisage on IG he does some of the best Catwoman paint jobs I have seen.
Thoughts on this Sean Dabbs WW HS painted by Yelim Choi ?

No offense, but even though the Hot Toys headsculpt isn't the strongest likeness, the fact that it has great paint application elevates it higher than all of the customs in here. Some of them look really bad.
That last one looks good, but good in isolation. Put it on the body and it will look like she self-tans from the chin down. Nothing is uniform.
I think you were done dirty with the hair job also on that sculpt. The person who did it can clearly apply hair, but have not styled it to look good very well. The ends of the hair look too wet and curly compared to the top, there's no luscious curls. If I were going to get a custom hair for Wonder Woman it'd have to be done well. I've bought a couple of customs and I know how much they cost, so for me to be paying that sort of money it just makes sense to go to something like JND Wonder Woman.

Yeah, one of the 357partment painters, as there's several, didn't achieve Gal's likeness. I might think about getting it repainted or just sell it. As for the hair, Tetsu was the one that haired it and most likely the product for setting the hair is wearing off. Also, there IS too many curls at the end of the hair, that's how Tetsu haired this one. Guess I'll have to be more persistent and correct their mistakes.
Who do you suggest can do a better job?
Anyways, I took some pics outside in the yard.

Sculpt-wise it looks like a better likeness, the trick is getting exactly that level of paint apps and the hair absolutely right.

Don?t want to wait to see what the 2 new HT sculpts will look like? Both of those (reg ww84 and gold armor) sculpts IMO have a better likeness.

Yeah, I'm really looking forward to the Golden Armour one. I'm sure it'll cost as much as the entire figure on eBay though...

Hot Toys better get the likeness right with the Golden Armour head sculpt cause their prototype is close to perfect. The rooted hair scares me though.
What're your thoughts of this painter? Anybody had any commissions done by him?

Darren is one of the old-timers, he's been around for ages and I've never heard a bad word about him.
I think he has quite a backlog though...

I’ve been waiting four years for sculpts I sent Darren, and he doesn’t reply to inquiries anymore. Seriously ***** that guy. If he spent half as much time on his idiotic blog videos as he does just doing the job he asks exorbitant amounts of money for, he’d get his stuff out faster.

Well, there's always a first time, isn't there?
Sorry for your bad experience man!

Well, I have BvS Wonder Woman, and while not a bad sculpt per se (although a bit bland IMHO), it looks nothing like Gal Gadot...
