Art? in Off Topic by cowboyink

Wednesday, March 20, 2013

So today I posted a lot of my customs to a local art group, for a local "art sale" I created what would be 2 series of Spiderman Figures for this sale, on top of the other hours I had put into my other legends figures.
The response I got back was about discrening from comercial made action figures. Meaning to me, that she could not judge between "store bought" and what I had made. This was meant as a compliment, but I feel like she slighted me on saying I basically " plagerized what I had made.
I asl what the small community of peers think of what we do, and why we do it.?
I don't necasarily want to make a ton of money off what I love to do, but I am running out of room. What are your thoughts on what we do as an artform?...[See More]

I'm obviously biased in saying this, but in my opinion customizing takes sculptural skills, painting skills, skills of imagination and integration of many other objects into the sculptures, and can also incorporate computer drafting skills, and skills of 2d design into the box art and designs.

Engineering = artform
Sculpting = artform
Painting = artform

You put them together and it's not? Cheer up brother, we are artists of a unique kind

100% an artform. Cusotmizing heavily takes elements of art. It's taking what we have and creating our own masterpieces. Sure it's not 100% original, if you want to get technical, but originality of a figure stems from how much work you put in it. A repaint, I consider 30-50 percent originality. When you start blend ing figure parts 10-20 percent bonus to that. And when you sculpt, I consider it 40-70 percent originality. The more of these three keys of customizing, are included, the more original in my eyes. But even the most unoriginal custom deserves recognition and pride that should be taken in that work. And that comment, nah, I'd take is as nothing but a compliment.

Looks like it has some potential, hopefully it'll be done right. My bet's on Iron Man 3 though.

WWE Wrestler Dave Bautista to Star in Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy
Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy has found its Drax the Destroyer in an actual human destroyer, WWE wrestler Dave Bautista. Drax is "a human resurrected as a green warrior with the sole purpose of killing Thanos. His powers include flight, super-strength and energy blasts," and the pleasure of getting to act alongside Chris Pratt. Bautista is a long way from following The Rock's Hollywood trajectory, although he appeared in The Man with the Iron Fists and will show up in Vin Diesel's Riddick later this year.

Found this online had to share !...[See More]

Midwest Gaming Classic 2013 Milwaukee March 23 & 24 in Off Topic by Spoon

Monday, March 11, 2013

Just wanted to get the (late) word out about this show. It's one of the bigger classic gaming shows in the USA. I will be, and have been for the past six years, vending at this show. It will be my last convention as a seller. Trying to blow out what's left of my game collection. There are tons of things to do at the show, and it's family friendly during the day and a cool place to hang out at night. There are tons of arcade/pinball machines to play, as well as a museum with lots of different systems set up to be played. There is even a TRU located right behind the show's location.

I have been meaning to post about this, but I've been very busy. Either way, stop by and say hi. Maybe even give me some of your money. My friend and I vend unde...[See More]
