Zarana-x- thank you

keep practicing and working on your sculpting! And never be afraid to try something new. That’s the best way to improve. I remember when I first began customizing, I wasn’t a very good sculptor at all. At first I barley had the ability to sculpt minor additions or details on a figure to change the look of its body/clothing. After a while I tried hair and other types of head wear. Over the years I’ve progressively gotten better. My biggest weakness is human faces. I can’t draw them or sculpt them AT ALL. I’ve gotten ok at making small modifications to them but that’s about it. At some point I would like to take a formal sculpting class to learn some real technique.

Master Splinter-thanks! I’m still having a blast with these so yes, I am planning to make more

I have two others in mind at the moment. Both of them are very different, so I’m not sure which one I will do first. Either way, I believe they will be well received because I remember their issues were pretty popular ones.

Donnie Dberg-thanks man!

Discogod-thanks for the high praise bro! your candid opinion is much appreciated from a fellow customizer

Lordmylar-thanks man! As I mentioned before, these are insanely fun and I am planning a few more.

Turtletitan-thanks dude!

Powder-thanks man. Yeah, the second head actually made me laugh once I painted it. It always amazes me just how much different the figure looks before and after it’s painted. It’s incredible what a little paint can do.

HotJuicyBurgers- dude, every time I read your name I crack up. Not to mention I think of Five Guys (one of the absolute very best burgers I’ve ever eaten and I’ve been ALLLLLL OVER the US) and then I get hungry

where the heck did you come up with that name? thanks for the praise man

i just got word back from Stan Sakai himself! he said that it looks great and he really likes my sense of coloring and details

wow, thats a feel-good compliment coming from a master artist/story teller such as himself!
