Deepfreeze: Harlem Heat repaint (PG78)

That is absolutely fantastic. Great decal work.

Ultimate Warrior SummerSlam 1992:









...and next to the Summerslam 1991 custom Warrior:

Awe man when I saw this I was looking forward to these (Warrior Hasbros)....

Sadly, I'm quite disappointed.

1st, the hair. Stick to solid colors on Hasbros. It's incredibly inaccurate for the figure type and doesn't look good and frankly is a turn off as far as Hasbros are concerned.

2nd, the fray. What were you thinking? I know and you know that's not up to your quality of work. They are sloppily stuck to the figures boots awkwardly...ultimately covering up the quality work and craftsmanship of the actual boot you painted. The solutions to this problem are endless and I hope you explore much more aesthetically pleasing and a more accurate portrayal for the Hasbro type figure.

3rd and lastly, these figures did not live up the expectations I had. The painting (overall) is very chunky even with the seal over it. Also, the distinction between the decals/printouts is VERY visible giving an almost paper glued to the figure look.

Certainly not the quality Hasbros I'm used to seeing out of you.

June: Blake is UFC Nate Marquardt and Beau is DA Sandman.

Wow!
Great work on the details as always.
The Yellow Warrior is the best imo.

As long as any customer wants me to create a custom figure in this or another way, i'll do it. No matter if anyone else made a similar looking figure before!

In fact, i've used a decal on the yellow singlet Warrior since this was the way my customer wants it.

IMO this board is not only for showing "the greatness" a few but to give suggestions for other customizers to improve their work...maybe i was wrong!

Is this about this lousy contest again and Beyondo not getting 1#? I'm sick and tired of this crap! It wasn't my fault.

It was never my intention to "copy" or "steal" other peoples work but to show my own work on some fu**ing plastic toys.

If i hurt anyones feelings, i'm really sorry!

So, let me get this straight. You're not negating the fact that you stole MY image (yes, the image I painted), placed it on a decal, and printed it out, only to slap it on the front of your figure (in hopes of passing it off as original)? I would think differently if you took the time to paint the image. That's fine. To literally take the image I painted and try to pass it off as your own. That is unbelievable.

In reference to Beyondo, I have NO, literally NO idea what happened there. Don't care. That's not my issue. If you're mentioning the issue because it's a common theme (i.e. stealing someone else's work), than that's a valid comparison. However, his issue is not mine. I don't know how you have the lack of artistic integrity to steal my image. That perplexes me. In academia, that's referred to as plagiarism. In retail, that's referred to as stealing, and in all other contexts, that is called pathetic. You, my friend, are proving your talent level. That's it.

You mentioned he "stole" head ideas in your first rant, that's what I was referring to.

And if that is the case, then I am involved, because I get on here all the time and see something someone did and say, oh, that head works well for him, I'm going to go make it.

If that's not the case, then i apologize for misreading something.

Beginning quote: "I have to tell you. It's extremely disappointing when a person lacks the talent and professional courtesy (time and time again), to the point that he shamelessly replicates another person's work. This is absolutely abominable. Did you merely take my image from the singlet and make it into a decal? I hand-painted that image back in June of 2008, and here it is nearly four years later, and my image is slapped on the front of your work. You're absolutely a hack and all the times people called you out for stealing ideas, head choices, replicating the exact figure someone else made, I just sat back and shook my head. You're ridiculous." End quote.

No, the aforementioned "head" reference was not him stealing my head ideas, it's a theme that culminates with him, again, a.) print-screening, b.) printing, and c.) applying my image to his figure.
