Cool. I bought some different sized magnets not to long ago and I thought I had a small one but yours takes the cake. I can't even handle the small magnets I need a pair of plastic tweezers!

Wow, that is one cool banner. How did you do that to the text? A background of sorts imposed over the text?

Off to share.

Thanks, bud! The "text behind picture" is just a Photoshop trick. You can do this in various ways. I just type the text, add a gradient layer (or adjustment, not sure what the English term is) and use the eraser to take away the text that's overlapping the subject.

Finished editing the pictures and sent off Quinlan to his new home. Here's a couple of full frame shots:

Thanks guys, I'm quite pleased myself with how he turned out. But what matters is, is that my client likes him of course :)

It's been a while, but I guess I'm back in the game. First up is Ven Zallow v4, a commissioned figure that took way too long to complete. Luckily, the commissioner was very patient and understanding. This is his second Ven Zallow figure by me, actually, having version 2 already in his possession.


Here are a few shots of Ven Zallow v4:












For comparison, here's version 2, which I made in 2012:





Like I said, I'm back at my customizing table whenever I can, continuing work on Satele Shan, Sith Lord Adraas and Ven Zallow v5 (and maybe even v6...)

Dude, I just need to ask.....how do you get your lines so sharp on the sculpt?  Do you sculpt them prior to being fully cured, or do you blob on the epoxie, and when dried, sand it/cut it down to shape?

Thanks man!  Most of the time I add these lines in the final stage of curing. I nearly always need to sand down the sculpted parts, so I make the lines a bit deeper than they need to be. After sanding, I clean up the lines with an old tooth brush and go over them once more with a scribing tool.
