SithFire, You really are a wonderful artist, thanks for answering my question, there is a local Games Workshop near me, and they run classes on figure painting, I guess I'll be heading down there asap.

Your work is so inspirational!

You take it to a WAY higher level.
Very inspirational.

Keep up the phenomenal work

I know one thing, I am having a hard time dealing with Hasbro's new Savage because of the one you are working on.

The sculpts on these heads are over the top. We have needed the Tonnika Sisters for years imo and you are really doing them so well. As always tips and tricks are much appreciated. Look for this update on our fp soon.

This is just remarkable work Sith_fire30. Like a renaissance artist you sculpt and paint in ways that just blow everyone's minds, and if I don't get my degree in paleantology, then this would be what I want to do. 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!
...Jareth Sartoris never found out what ICO Austin had seen back there.

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!

Thanks for joining the Yards! You should be working for Hasbro. Whoever their top sculptor is could become your personal assistant.

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!

Oh man...I cannot wait to see the Tonnika sisters finished and in all their glory!!! 

Blue looks rockin' as well...

I really enjoy watching your work unfold; thanks for sharing your amazing talents with us!

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

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...

Mate as usual breath taking work but we wouldn't expect anything less from you.
