Description
I love these Uncharted games...had a chance to sculpt another Nathan Drake....Drake has gotta be one of the toughest faces to capture...This is 1:6 scale for Sideshow.

Hello ! are you selling this head sculpt ? Because I just got my sideshow fig and that head sculpt looks like shit !
π: 0 β©: 1
This was sculpted for Sideshow, so unfortunately no.
I am sorry that the head did not turn out on the production figure. I saw someone customize the head and get it looking really good, but unfortunately that's a lot of work to have to do on your figure.

What the heck did SS do to your sculpt. Β Shameful.

Yeah looks like something went wrong in the casting stage.

Thank you very much for making this figure, I have it booked in sideshow!
By the way, when a figure of the new Lara Croft?

Thank you for all your very kind comments!
I hope someone makes a figure of Lara from the new game. I'm not aware of any, but I'm sure some company must be making one.

Thanks you for answer me, I'm a big fan of yours and I love your work. Too bad being on the other side of the pond.
PD: Sorry for my English, I use google translator ...

I'm really happy to hear that! Thanks! I think a lot of collectors weren't too happy with this one, so it's nice to hear you like it!

Really?Β That's crazy!Β The final painted figure is amazing man, hoping to pick one up soon

Is the character refferred to an actual person? If he's not maybe it's the reason why you find him hard to grasp.
I always thought there was a bit of Nathan Fillion in him

But you managed to capture it just the same!! Awesome!
Still waiting for my "Aha" moment
You inspired me to do a Sherlock/Cumberbatch sculpt, but it's still in my usual polymer...
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks!
No 'aha!" moment yet?
Wow! Your Cumberbatch Sherlock is fantastic! The eyes are SO perfect. I found him to be impossibly difficult to do well. I would like another crack at it in a larger size some day.
π: 0 β©: 1
I thought that you did a PERFECT job on Cumberbatch! What on earth didn't you think was done well on yours?! Thanks for the kind comments on mine, but it doesn't hold a candle to yours!
I always think of you while I'm cursing at the wax "He said I'd have an AHA! He promised... AHA already dammit!!"
Thank you for offering your help. I really appreciate it. What I need to do is devote all my time to learning the medium, instead of trying it out for a bit and then throwing it down in disgust and going back to where I'm comfortable. Well, one of these days...
Just keep inspiring us with all of your amazing work!

I really needed to film some video of working on a face in wax..it's so hard to put into words. I'll try to figure out how to do it....I'm not a tech guy.
Thanks on Sherlock! He's SO hard...to be so distinctive, I was shocked to find his face so difficult. I'd really love to do larger busts of them to keep unpainted, but with sculpted in pupils.

I guess you are totally right about the comfort zone. I was trying to find another medium because ProSculpt gets too soft in the tiny details, but I decided that I'm going to do my next sculpt in the grey, hard super sculpey. Just to condition it, you need a steamroller, so with the little bit of experimentation I did, I can see that it will hold tiny details much better than the ProSculpt that I'm used to.
Again, I eagerly look forward to anything you can can document about your technique as I'm sure MANY others will be. Get that tripod up, man!!
The detail you put into your tiny sculptures would be amazing to see larger, and I would imagine would be fun to do and a great asset to your collection!
Again, Thanks!!

That sounds great regarding Sculpey firm. I liked that one best when I used to use Sculpey...I could still never do what you do in it, though....I'm very heavy handed...

Jesse!!! Can't wait for the return of the final BB season.
Oh, I hope you are able to do that recording. *Happy dance...*
Be happy that you are busy. Your talents are sought after!
BTW, I saw what you did with a pumpkin, so methinks you can do about anything with your heavy hands!!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, I think sculpting a Jesse for a time lapse would be perfect....I will plan to do that.
I cannot wait for BrBa to come back....Wow, it's SO close.
I am very grateful to be busy. I just wish I could figure out how to balance myself a bit better...I work way too much.
Pumpkin....ouch....that's a tough medium....Ray Villafane and Andy Bergholtz are magicians.
π: 0 β©: 1
Can't wait to see how you do it!
Yes, BB on August 11th!! I record the whole thing then have a series marathon at the end. I HATE waiting week to week!
When you work for yourself, as I'm assuming that you do, it is hard to find balance. I hope you are able to take the time to have some fun!
Villafane and Bergholtz are a force to be reckoned with, but your Barnabas pumpkin was amazing!

Good idea....waiting for BB week to week is tough.....but I LOVE the Sunday night ritual.
It is hard to find balance as a freelance professional. I really have trouble making time for me....I'm pretty awful at it to be honest.
π: 0 β©: 1
Now you're making it hard for me to wait for BB!! Ahhhh....
I've been freelancer for a long time, and when I think back to the days when I used to have a 9 to 5, I remember having SO much more free time! You left the job, and the rest of the evening and the weekend was yours. I understand completely your dilemma. It's hard to stop because you only have yourself to answer to. When I'm just worn out, and I take a day and decide to do nothing, or OMG... sit outside and read a book, I beat myself up over it. I really feel like I should be accomplishing something, and when I look at the list of things I have to do for others or want to do for myself, I feel even worse doing nada! Good luck with it... I feel your pain
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly...I feel the same as you have. It's the overwhelming guilt of taking a day off that I can't overcome. I'm just always behind schedule.
I, on the other hand......am rarely forgiving of myself.

Take advantage of flexible ADs and I guess we can all take a lesson from immortal words spoken by Miles in "Risky Business":
"Every now and then, say 'What the....'"... well, you know
Life's WAY too short!

Well I barely played the game and I recognised him quickly, so I'd say job's-a-gud-'un. Really awesome.
π: 0 β©: 1
Heheh, right on! Thanks....you wouldn't believe how hard Nathan Drake is to sculpt...no idea why.
π: 0 β©: 0
I'm never gonna forgive Sideshow for not finding you sooner--or, okay, who you've grown up to be in the meantime--before they produced those really awful faces years ago, like the Willow Rosenberg who looked like a caricature of an angry Jewish grandmother, or Anna Valerious as played by Bette Davis at 50 if she'd been playing the Wicked Witch of the West and hadn't yet had her morning coffee.
But I'm also not gonna forgive myself for not being able to stay sane at high-paying jobs long enough to afford the stuff you're doing for them now.

The biggest disappointment I've found as an artist, I've finally been able to properly articulate: It takes just as much effort to make a failure as it does to make a success...it seems to be arbitrary which ones work and which ones don't. It drives me CRAZY.
Thanks so much! I would love to sculpt Willow again...I love her. I'd actually love to sculpt all of the earliest Buffy characters...I'm very fond of the early years of that show.

Yeah, it ain't fair that junk takes as much (or more) work than the good stuff does. And while we can sometimes, rarely, rescue something gone wrong, more often every attempt just makes it klunk the harder.
I've certainly labored too hard over some paragraphs and scenes that get worse every fix, kinda like, I dunno, trying to glue a new hand onto a fired ceramic figure, only to drip the glue down the side of the figure, get fuchsia lint stuck to it, gouge the leg when you try to scrape it off, and then find you've chipped the ear in the process of setting it down.
If I were an A-hole, I'd say something trite about April showers and how mistakes are just opportunities, but screw that; problems like that just plain suck.
Best of luck!

Nice detailing as always but unfortunately you've done a much better work on 1/4 one.
This... just doesn't look right, and prototype paint work is not helping.

Sometimes we fail...the unfortunate part is it takes just as much hard work to fail as it does to succeed....it's a bitch.
π: 0 β©: 1
I guess my point being we never know what will work and what will fail...but the effort and dedication rarely changes day to day.

every time I am working on a likeness, I think of you and your work and I repeatedly tell myself, in my brains... "that son of a bitch.. .Β .hate that guy!" hahaha
I need to get lessons from ya one day man. This kind of skill level isn't normal in a 26 year old.. this skill level is more in a 50+ year old that spent the last 30-40 years of his life refining his skills. You made a fan boy out of me haha. Looking forward to the day you start doing monument stuff and the devil creeps in your brain and brings out very dark, horrific designs.
π: 0 β©: 1
hahaha! Thanks for the laughs!
I spend too much time working.....I really need to get myself a life.
I really appreciate the kind words, man...I think I need to take a vacation, but then I get excited by the opportunities I have to work on cool stuff, and I end up working on WAY too many projects.
π: 0 β©: 1
Same here man, But if my skill level was at yours. I'd sit on my ass all day long more often!
You do any Prometheus designs by chance?
look forward to seeing the new stuff as it pops up.
