Nobody is trying to give you lessons in morels. Just pointing out that you are on a site devoted to collecting toys and that you covered up something that is hard to get and then telling us about it. We would have been better off if you kept us in the dark as to what is underneath there. You say that you can't get Sludgies very easily but you managed to get one that a lot of people are hunting. Meanwhile an unpainted GID one sat around on the sales threads for like a week a little while ago.
I really like your custom, the color is great and works beautifully on the sculpt. However, I do agree with the GID thing. Most GID toys are painted in a way that they look interesting both in the light and the dark. That's what makes them interesting, almost like you have 2 toys. I'm not going to jump in and say the toy is a waste though. I still really enjoy your custom, it's just a little disappointing knowing that the base vinyl is GID. I think more people would really enjoy your custom if you had either done it on a different base, or taken the GID into account. That said, some would still jump on you because they are after the particular Sludgie that you painted over. Dustin, you made some excellent points, just don't tell people about the yellow S-Taiin you painted over (I know they were all milky, just joking around.)
think I understand ... even if I do not speak English very well, (it helps me a machine translation) I believe that this whole controversy is over. I repeat, for months looking for a sludge and it is the only one I could find. if I had found unpainted toy I'd buy it. if I found colored toy version appealed to me I would not have changed the colors. PS sorry for my english
dedo - just so you know customizing use to be a very touchy subject around here. Now, not so much because most "haters" decided to finally shut up about the topic. Here's an interesting thread on the topic: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=20305&hilit=customizers+debate
I do not think it was so hot topic ... I will continue to have fun with painting and sculpture. I'm producing my first resin toy and I would be happy if others wish to interpret it. I had written to rich an mail, telling him that the GID did not like me, saying to him that I'll changed the colors and rich did not seem perplexed .... was curious to see
i dig this paint. really like the muted palette. just for the record, the unpaint GID that was sitting around in the fs section was mine. Sold to hellopike. i'm guessing he'll do a stellar job incorporating the GID vinyl into the final product
Been wanting to comment on this but have been so busy. I really like the way this came out, really nice colors ! About this being the mandarake version, I have no issues with him acetoing it and repainting it as he sees fit. Thats how I got started and I think this has 100% brought my painting career full circle. Its sort of surreal to be honest. Good work buddy
Re:repentance!!!! custom sludge demon new GID custom although I have received the consent of the artist ... repentance!!! and I thought to take advantage of the GID vinyl! I washed my custom sludge in acetone and ...and now it shines in the darkness with his new painting! now what do you think ...do you like it now???
i think i like the first version better.. oh well, just goes to show you that you can never please everyone.. bottom line, keep painting whatever toys you see fit. you spray work is getting better and better!
I prefer the first version too... but I wanted to try painting on GID for the first time ... ...and then the guilt that you have thrown at me was crumbling my self
please let me know what you think of my first job in resin ... I am very proud of it !!!... it is the first! http://skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=36968
lol..... so funny and so true Rich. Good thing you didn't come out blasting dedo for re-painting your toy. that would have been too much pot calling the kettle black..... yes, very surreal actually. Rich and I have both taken a lot of shit for customizing toys. whatever. Does anyone really care now days that I had PK paint a GID Pirate? probably not. it was the same complaints being voiced here. paint on Dedo, paint on...!!!
wait a second.... I just realized you actually acetoned the sludgie just to accommodate the complainers?? What the fuck...?? why would you do that? especially since I really liked the first colorway... gotta stick to your guns my man....
was ironic! ... of course! I thought about challenging for me to try to redo color and reveal GID, was the first time I felt light-colored floors, ... Then I can redo it, redo it, redo it redo it .......................................................................................... ...bat guys...please let me know what you think of my first job in resin ... I am very proud of it !!!... it is the first! http://skullbrain.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=36968 pleaseeeeee!!!
I really like the repaint better. If you like you can now send it to me so I can add it to my collection
