Thanks so much guys for all of your positive comments it means a lot to me! This is my favourite paint job and I think it came together because I've painted Craig a few times and almost had it all scoped out in my head before I did it. Plus this head is near perfect. I'm a huge supporter of it and in my opinion it's in the 90th percentile of likeness and all we have seen before have only been 70th at best. DID being 60th.
I've had a few people ask me to do theirs and I usually resist paint job commissions and I'll tell you why. The first reason is I want to be confident that I can get the same results each time. With this head I am, secondly it's time. Each head takes me about 8-12 hours to paint, I'm such a perfectionist and my time is super limited and often times in my spare time I do freelance art direction work on top of my demanding full time job. My hourly rate for that is 100 dollars. So this is why I kind of only paint for myself. It breaks down or buying my own spare tme! That being said I love Craig. this head, and the guys who pmed me have been guys I really like and means so much they asked, If I can get about 5-8 guys lined up, for a run it would make it easier. If you are comfortable with the 100 dollars commission fee plus shipping (EDIT: per head not hourly, lol can you imagine? If you'd be down for that I'd tell you to save the money and get a couple therapy sessions :rotfl) I'd do a run if you all understand that I might not get them all painted for at least a couple months, but maybe sooner it depends on my work schedule.
I have a list of three so far, if you asked I know if I get two more interested ill open up an interest list on the customs section and cap it at 8 for now because I know I couldn't handle any more than that for a little bit.
And just for this head, I don't know if I'm gonna be satisfied with my deckard, I'm going to try one soon.
If we don't get there, trust me my ego won't be bruised in the slightest I'm just sorry I couldn't help out those who asked, I know sourcing painters is a pain, it's exactly why I taught myself how to paint :slap
If all goes well with my first run and I don't want to kill anyone and I still manage to have a friend or two or get laid or am still formulating coherent sentences ill definitely do a second run!
