Truly amazing work here. Jaw dropping in fact. I'd be very much interested in a resin bust to be able to paint up. Congrats on an excellent collaboration
I'm a big supporter of 3-d files. and man I love the whole zbrush thing. I go on there just to drool. but...
having said that, I can see one down side to it.
what if, and until software can calculate a person's facial change, you wanted to add some life to it. a smirk, a grin. an ear to ear grin?... then you are definately back to old school stuff. staring at pics, trying to visualize the person grining, but from angles that you now have to be able to visualize in your head... i.e. if all of us rely on 3-d files too much, will we cease to hone a mental skill involving the old school way of sculpting from one pic, and having to visualize that persons expression from all the other angles?
I can attest that when you do Heath with an evil smirk, all that you thought you knew about his face goes right out the window. It's almost like sculpting someone entirely different.
What bugs me about this whole project is that fetster suddenly made his joker busts available in the junkyard, knowing full well he had this on the go. Given the choice, who wouldn't buy this new version based on a life cast. Nothing more accurate. Now I am stuck with an expensive bust that, although nice, nothing close to this life casted version.
I find that a pretty brutal move in fetsters part.
I should have known better, since he usually doesn't sell his stuff. I begged for a version of his fantastic Daniel Craig.
Seriously, what the heck is your entitlement problem? Neither Fettster nor coofunkcurly owes you anything.As for the members questioning if there will be a run of this.... Do you think the rest of us are idiots? Coofunkurly .... All you do is runs, so don't act like all of the sudden you are some holier than thou artist doing this for a private collection.
Anyway, not going to beat this to death. You guys are free to do what you wish. Just stop acting like you are not going to do runs and that fester somehow had no idea what he was doing.
I find the complaint a bit confusing as they aren't even the same item and they aren't being offered by the same person. I actually commissioned Rich to do the smiling Joker as a complete alternative to what was out there and I think it still holds its place as a really unique piece. When I saw them being offered in the Junkyard, I thought it was an amazing opportunity for someone to get one. That being said, this piece looks off the charts as well, and if given the opportunity, I would grab one of these as well in a heartbeat.
