As a suggestion; I would like to see you sculpt a diorama, we don't have many DIO makers on these forums and yours would astound everyone!

Hey TS1138! Have you seen my Sith Temple diorama?...Its a BIG work in progress...Am also working on a meditiation chamber for my vader sculpt.

These are breathtaking. Knowing how small these figures are you are working almost at nano scale on the eyes and eye makeup, yet the detailing looks as if it's life size, applied by a make up artist.

I would love to see your tool kit, or a face painting tutorial.

You are inspiring us all!



Hey HB94!!! Thank you sir!! Working on one right now! Simple step by step photo tutorial. Will be attached to the next blog update :)

Seeing your latest update makes me want to get back to finishing some of the sculpted pieces that  have been waiting for me to tend to.  I can't thank you enough for inspiring me to take up sculpting. Since I started I have grown to enjoy customizing a lot more than I did when I was just doing repaints and kitbashes.  You brought a whole side of myself that I never knew existed and I can't thank you enough.  Sculpting has made the customizing process a much more creative process and has allowed me to enjoy customizing beyond just feeling like an involved father, but getting to feel what it is like to have some creative expression back in my life.  Your work is truly inspiring.

In my next sculpting project I am going to attempt to implement your whittling technique on a figure and then build up from a skeleton so I can get the proportions I want the piece to have.  

Thanks again for your inspiring work!

You're very welcome DD - and thank you!!! :)

Sith Fire, seriously, are these painted faces free of Photoshop alteration??? not that it matters, but the detailing on the eyes is perfect, I even see some iris colouration...

You know HB....I get that question asked a lot. No photoshop alteration at all....in terms of adding to the features of the actual sculpt and paint work. What you see exists as the painted work and not from digital manipulation. Those iris' have been carefully painted using a very fine brush, a strong magification, a dab of clear gloss and plenty of do overs!!! LOL! I never get it the way I want it the first time...trial and error. My style of photgraphy was inspired by the marketing photography McFarlane toys did over the past serveral years...Adding filters to create atmosphere or a blur to create a dramatic effect have been staples in most of my work. I view a portion of my custom work to be that of the photography...and if I had more time to devote to photo novels i'd be all over it.  I love photography...it's been a hobby of mine for quite awhile and am happy to incorporate it with these little creations :)

That is simply amazing work!  The Sith temple background alone is astounding, but I am salivating to see Vader's meditation chamber!  ;D

Your work never ceases to amaze me; I just hope that, once my family's move is complete, that I can get back down to creatively tackling some projects that you, among others here, have inspired me to try.

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!
