It's like night and day!Not bad at all.Just change a bit mustache and lips and eyerbows as Robie adwise and make more similar eyes.But in this light it looks much,much better!

Re: 1/6 [CHEUNGKINMEN] Freddie Mercury "Wembley" (Sculpt PAINT WIP ~ post #486)

Thanks guys, I did ask for specific details, and well, it showed that my work needs more work and that this is a dissapointment as I "thought" it was going to the right direction. I feel it's not up to my expectations and it's like stealing from you guys and I hate that feeling.

I am not saying all these for "pity", it's how I feel, I am really hard on myself when it comes to this kind of work because I really want to make the best of it, but right now it's not getting anywhere near what I expected.

For the lip I honestly can't change it at this point. This is the one fact the dissapoints me the most. I will try to fix it, but later.

I think I will put a hold on this project until I get it right, either way Yunsil is waaay too busy right now and might not finish the clothing in time, so instead of having your money on my account I'll refund back and keep the list as is and contact you later on when I've sorted this mess out and hope by then you are all still interested.

I am truly and deeply sorry to have wasted your time and holding your money for so long. This has nothing to do with you, it's my artistic conscience that won't let me sell something not good. I bit more than I can chew, I admit. Hope you guys don't hate me for this.

The Last Photos looked really good. I think the Sculpt is Excellent. I reallly think it was some of the paint and the lighting.
 
Re: 1/6 [CHEUNGKINMEN] Freddie Mercury "Wembley" ***ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE***

I hate to hear that, but if you don't feel comfortable moving forward right now, then that's your decision. Just don't forget to let us back in whenever you decide to finish tackling it! This is still one of my most highly desired figures.
 
Re: 1/6 [CHEUNGKINMEN] Freddie Mercury "Wembley" ***ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE***

I was diggin the last pics - now I have a refund??? WTF???? JOhnny - it Rocks!
 
Re: 1/6 [CHEUNGKINMEN] Freddie Mercury "Wembley" ***ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE***

I respect your decision.But don't quit the project entirely,because the sculpt itself has a hell of alot potential,and a shame if the accessories you have allready done goes to waste.

The last pics it looked alot better,shows that lighting is everything.

Keep us updated JOhnny,i really hope you go back to this project in the not too distant future :)
 
Re: 1/6 [CHEUNGKINMEN] Freddie Mercury "Wembley" ***ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE***

I have refunded everybody on the list, if I forgot to refund anyone please let me know.

I want to finish this and make this available, but until then I'll make sure it's up to your standards before I make it available, I know it's not fair for you guys to pay for something not good, specially something this expensive.

Again, I am real sorry guys :( .
 
Re: 1/6 [CHEUNGKINMEN] Freddie Mercury "Wembley" ***ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE***

It's Very Good! Best Freddie Sculpt I have ever seen! Just needed some minor tweeking and some minor Paint Fixes.
 
Re: 1/6 [CHEUNGKINMEN] Freddie Mercury "Wembley" ***ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE***

Hi Johnny,

I was at work when I saw the earlier WIP pics and saw that convo going down, but I couldn't chime in at the time. . . and I just now got home and saw I had a refund first and got concerned and came here to see what was going on. I have nothing but respect for you and your decision. I don't mind waiting until you have it right and are happy with it.

I'm just pleased that you decided to take on Freddie, and hope you can finish it when you and Yunsil have a fresh battery.
 
Re: 1/6 [CHEUNGKINMEN] Freddie Mercury "Wembley" ***ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE***

Johnny!Of curse we respect your desision, but sculpt don't need any changes in my opinion.There is possibility just make better paintup and all of us will be happy.Please dont put this wonderfull project by side for a long.It's almost done.Don't be dissapointed.You do very well,great.It's just first paintup attempt.It's not reason to be upset.I know wonderfull painter who stripp up paintups 3 times before all was right.I'll be a bit sad if you really refund or monay and take a long brake, because scoulpe is great.If you trie make paintup corrections it will be done.But do as you feel beter for you now.We all believe in you complitely and want this peace of art in our collections badly:)Go ahead,friend!Best to you!

Keep going Johnny don't give up! This is one epic sculpt we all need a freddie and we all have Faith in you! Keep on going and don't give up! :)
 
Re: 1/6 [CHEUNGKINMEN] Freddie Mercury "Wembley" ***ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE***

I speak for myself but I'm sure everyone here is behind you Johnny! There is absolutely no rush with Freddie and if you feel he isn't up to your expectations, it's probably for the best to take a break. Keep your head up mate! :wave :1-1:

What a disappointment!
But if what you think you should do JOhnny, Ok!

This pretty much sums it up for me. If you wanna take some time to regroup Johnny thats not a problem personally I love the sculpt I think it's maybe just the paintwork you need to tweak a little bit. Don't give up on it man I'm still 200% in Freddie has been a grail figure of mine for a long long time. Nobody is mad and you and we all respect your decision. Please please please do not give up on this fig its sooooo close and I know you can finish it.

my sentiments exactly
 
Re: 1/6 [CHEUNGKINMEN] Freddie Mercury "Wembley" ***ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE***

I think the head sculpt is awesome. I think the problem is paint up.
 
Re: 1/6 [CHEUNGKINMEN] Freddie Mercury "Wembley" ***ON HOLD UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE***

Here's a suggestion Bud why don't you send it to another paint Skiman or someone and see what the paint up comes out like if then your still unhappy then resculpt I agree with the others I think the paint is the problem!

Give it a try I sure as hell couldn't paint you have a real talent but try another test with another painter and compare and see which you like if any?
