Point me in the right direction Scott.
GET PAID ???? If people at the cons knew how much money and time I have put into my elder suit..... I DO sell some parts from time to time.... but any money I get goes right back into materials to try new techniques, more sculpting materials, painting supplies, etc....
For me personally, this is a hobby not a business and anyone who thinks there is some huge influx of profit is just wrong. I spend 100s of hours doing this stuff for the satisfaction of seeing a final piece. If I could even calculate the labor, materials, shop costs???? profits??? please. Can you say deficit???
Regarding the sell of those parts from time to time: I make EVERY effort to not only meet but exceed any expectation someone might have. If at anytime someone has a problem, I do whatever it takes to fix the problem. I turn around orders as fast as possible with a quality I would expect when I open a box of goodies I receive.
If there are folks that don't like the idea of having to pay for something as unique as these costumes then - - friggin make them yourselves. As of a year ago I hadn't touched clay since I was 5 years old. I had NEVER used an airbrush, and I had no clue how to build molds, or that you could even buy materials used in hollywood.
If this sounds like a rant??? GOOD. The attitude of people sometimes really pisses me off.
With all that said - - Have a nice Day.
