Agreed! Awesome

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Barnacled Gray Killer: 2/2/11

Isn't that every trade fest?

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Barnacled Gray Killer: 2/2/11

Swindled?! Hogwash!

You got the flo-yellow spaceman!

Maybe you were just in too big a hurry to scream, "FIRST TRADE OF THE NIGHT!"

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Barnacled Gray Killer: 2/2/11

LOL.... just kidding. it was a great trade. glad you put that Killer to good use.

i'm going to make a remix of your comment about how many good toys are sacrificed to make a mash-up.

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Barnacled Gray Killer: 2/2/11

Fuck it...cut 'em up!

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Barnacled Gray Killer: 2/2/11

Whhaat? That's really cool. I'd like to see that same idea with some bright coral colors.

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Barnacled Gray Killer: 2/2/11

yea. this one came out really nice.... killer seems to be the perfect figure for your little crater technique.

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Barnacled Gray Killer: 2/2/11

great work.

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Barnacled Gray Killer: 2/2/11

Great color choice! And the barnacles are so detailed

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Barnacled Gray Killer: 2/2/11

This is just awesome.

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Barnacled Gray Killer: 2/2/11

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Barnacled Gray Killer: 2/2/11

Thanks, everybody.

I'm really happy with the way this Killer turned out and I'm glad you guys are into it.

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Barnacled Gray Killer: 2/2/11

WOW!!!
Awesome, Dustin... the Killer is not a sculpt I've paid much attention to, but you've added to it in a way that is so perfectly complementary and natural... really makes this toy, for me!
I hope Bwana takes a look!

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Barnacled Gray Killer: 2/2/11

^^^Thanks

I have finally decided that it's time to start sculpting something so, in between painting toys, I'm going to be working on this guy:







I decided to take a stab at sculpting my favorite kind of dinosaur, an ankylosaur. It's still pretty rough and I've got a ways to go but I'm having a lot of fun with this dude and learning a ton.

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: WIP Ankylosaur Sculpt: 2/4/11

awesome details! yeah, the ankylosaur was also my favorite growing up.... because of the whole armor thing

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: WIP Ankylosaur Sculpt: 2/4/11

dude, the anklyosaur is awesome! great work on that killer too!

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: WIP Ankylosaur Sculpt: 2/4/11

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: WIP Ankylosaur Sculpt: 2/4/11

thats my favorite dinosaur too. well, he was tied with triceratops when i was a kid. now the anklyosaur wins because he looks most like armadillos which are living dinosaurs themselves.

the sculpting is killer. when you want to do a mold, let me know and i can help out.

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: WIP Ankylosaur Sculpt: 2/4/11

impressive. you've got some skillz. not sure why you're wasting them on a lizard when they could be better served on a Robot...

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: WIP Ankylosaur Sculpt: 2/4/11

Love the sleepy-eyed head on this. Is it just me or is it a little sheepish.

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: WIP Ankylosaur Sculpt: 2/4/11

That's what I'm sayin! Good fuckin job dude!

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: WIP Ankylosaur Sculpt: 2/4/11

Thanks a lot, you guys! I appreciate all the comments and I'm stoked that you guys are feelin' this little dino.

Still plugging away...got some legs roughed-in this morning and I think I'm really beginning to like the proportions on this dude:



Still rough, I know, but eventually I want him to have short legs and stampy dino feet.

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: WIP Ankylosaur Sculpt: 2/4/11

Looks great Dustin! You are some kind of talented for sure.

He looks awesome as a dinosaur but personally I'd love to see him possess a little more "monster quality." But that's just my own personal taste....

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: WIP Ankylosaur Sculpt: 2/4/11

The detail on that guy is fantastic! Looking forward to seeing where it goes from here.

 

Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: WIP Ankylosaur Sculpt: 2/7/11

Still at it...trying to bring this dino to life.

Got the legs a little be closer to where I want them...still trying to sort out the feet and toes.
