Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: WIP Stuff: 9/18
I think a clarification is in order. Dustin certainly wasn't hoarding any S-taiins. They were sent to him to be customized. By "landing" he meant that they will be shipped out soon. I was lucky to get a sneak peek at those and they're amazing!

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: More Spacemen: 9/20
They look great. Well done. My favorite part about this toy is the goofy, happy/excited look on his face.

Thanks, man. You know, if I were gonna hoard these I would have bought as many as I could at SDCC. Instead, I bought one, couldn't resist painting it, and then passed it along to another collector. Since then, a couple of awesome board members have given me theirs to paint for them. Knowing how tough they are to come by, I am truly flattered that these folks want me to paint on them. This sculpt, for me, is a joy to work on. It's got everything a fun, little spaceman should have; awesome helmet, raygun, tanks on his back, goofy smile, etc. It's such a refreshing break from the stuff I've been painting that I kind of get lost while working on them...it's easy to forget that it's only a pocket-sized figure. gatchabert wrote: no...dustin really is a hoarder. BIG TIME! If anybody out there wants to help me increase my "hoard" of SDCC Pocket S-Taiins to "1" feel free to PM me.

Amazing work as usual Dustin! Almost a shading effect with the placement of the dots.

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Angry Sea Odoron: 10/8
That's really nice Dustin. I like how you created a sense of depth (deeper depth?!) by darkening the valleys of the sculpt. Best Odoron I've seen yet.

Sokko wrote: That's really nice Dustin. I like how you created a sense of depth (deeper depth?!) by darkening the valleys of the sculpt. Best Odoron I've seen yet. Thanks, Sokko. As much as I like the painted clear blue and clear green releases, I can't help but think of flavors of mouthwash when I look at them. I wanted mine to be darker and more intimidating and I felt that the opaque black vinyl would help me get there. The tension in the sculpt is really what does it for me on this figure. There's a lot of movement in the limbs and in the crests of all the little waves. I tried my best to emphasize those elements while still keeping within my limited "stormy sea" palette. Glad you like it.

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: G&G Set: 10/25
With Halloween just around the corner, I decided that now would be the time to paint up my G&G set. I went for a "realistic" look on the little dude's armor, drybrushing up through various silvers to get it where I wanted. The big guy has various blues and silvers and his "belly-face" glows in the dark. Hope you guys like 'em.
