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 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 color choice! And the barnacles are so detailed
Re: Dustin's Ultra-Thread: Barnacled Gray Killer: 2/2/11 cant wait to see this when i get home!! from the land of shitty IEs and pic boxes with red Xs in them, (my office) Mecha.
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 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.
