I kinda wished the N on the front was also on the back, or switch them around. The hair is a bit too big/poofy on the top sides. But I like everything else, Jericho worked really well.

Yeah the hair should be more, flat? Still amazing though man, painting is so good and the texture I think you call it in the hair is great. Just wondering, do you take orders for customs?

Hair sculpt looks great! Damn fine custom. Any advice on your beard painting process? Small brush/toothpick?  |

I haven't done any custom orders in quite some time as I am usually pretty busy, but I might consider it. I'm 26 and work full time and have one of those girlfriend deals people talk about, so I keep busy, but shoot me a message on that.
As far as the beard, I don't use toothpicks, just fine tipped brushes and a steady head. I've been painting figures of all scales for about 14 years, so I have learned to adapt through many years of work, but I suggest just using a brush and working the layers of the beard and making it look like more than one shade but still using the same color. It's just kind of thinning the paint and progressively working a bit thicker until you see a product you feel is what you want for the facial hair.

That is amazing...
Any tips on how I can sculpt hair in a similar way? I've never attempted to sculpt hair. Also, what brand of clay do you use for sculpting?

Thanks for the tips. The years put into your craft are clearly on display here. You could make some good pocket money selling stuff of this caliber. |

Thanks you guys!
I use an apoxie sculpt most of the time, but I still use Sculpy III quite often as I have worked with it for so many years. As for making & selling figures, I did just that many years ago online and did quite well for myself making a few hundred dollars a month just on selling customs alone. If I had the time like I did when I was 15 making figures, I would make figures more often.
Thanks again you guys! ;D

I like it.
Not too sold on the beard though, it looks like thick stubble. :/
