Re: [JNIX] 1/6 ANH Luke custom head sculpt - Taking orders!!

You're very passive aggressive, aren't you?

You've gone from this:

Apologies for those that are getting frustrated with us photoshopping folk...

To this:

Some people appreciate attention to detail - others appreciate films like Suicide Squad...

To each his own.

Imagine if Jnix had the "near enough's, good enough" attitude. "Oh well, it's only 1/6 scale. They'll never be able to see those minor details anyway. He's got two eyes, a nose, and a mouth... what more do they want?"

I'm surprised you bought a Jnix Han - would have thought you'd be happy with your HT or SSC sculpts - barely see the differences in hand anyway?

Come on, guys. This thread is all over the place. We're all on the same side here - waiting patiently for Jnix's amazing work.
 
Re: [JNIX] 1/6 ANH Luke custom head sculpt - Taking orders!!

the problem is, although this is the BEST luke... is that Mark's chin/neck was never as clearly defined as a neckless headsculpt! that to me is the one thing preventing this from being perfection...

This crossed my mind as well, especially on some of the Luke in Stormtrooper disguise reference shots.

Curious as to what the final run number ends up being compared to the Han one.
 
Re: [JNIX] 1/6 ANH Luke custom head sculpt - Taking orders!!

Well it's not a surprise that this civility and order of this thread eventually went to hell haha.

That being said, and I'm the biggest perfectionist on the planet, the photoshop manips at this point are bloody annoying... And honesty not adding any value, I've not even anything that warrants any second glance, and despite all that it's done, he's revised it and is collecting orders/into production mode now.
 
Re: [JNIX] 1/6 ANH Luke custom head sculpt - Taking orders!!

agreed! :hi5:


Hey now...I wasn't making any sort of pot shots at anyone. I replied to your post as you mentioned ppl getting frustrated with all the photoshop manipulations and I was giving my thoughts on why I get frustrated with them, which as stated, was b/c I literally see no difference in the two pics you posted side by side. Is that so wrong? I had nothing to say against the early ones as I do believe they helped Jnix make the sculpt closer to ANH Luke. However, it gets to a point where IMO it becomes a bit much and a bit overkill.

I wouldn't be in this hobby if I didn't appreciate attention to detail. To give you some background, I am an Architect. Detail is what I do all day, every day for nearly a decade, not to mention that I, too, customize figures, paint and sculpt. I wouldn't have bought a Jnix Han if I didn't see the difference. Have you ever sculpted before? Have you ever actually painted a headsculpt? painted the eyes? Do you know how much time it takes? How frustrating it can be for an artist themselves let alone have other people constantly tell you it's not there yet? B/c I do. That' all I'm getting at. I'm not someone who just constantly buys someone else's work w/o knowing all that goes into it. I've got my own first hand experience w/ 1/6 customizing for 1/6 collectors. I know photophop...and I know it's a lot easier to make a change there than it is to do it in hand.

For there record, I am in no way comparing my talents to Jnix. He is extremely talented, one of the best I've seen which is why I bought his work. I meant no offense by my initial post, so take it down a notch, please.

All good. Apologies, as yes, I thought you were having a poke. The photoshopping is simply done to help people make a decision. And as I apologized in the first sentence to those of you who do not wish to see anymore, I thought it wouldn't warrant another "not another photoshop?!" comment.

Anyway, let's "move along" as we all agree that Jnix is an incredibly talented, one-in-a-billion, artist, and no one wants to scare him away.

You're very passive aggressive, aren't you?

You've gone from this:



To this:

Read my above reply to Gipetto.

If you guys don't like to see the photoshop work, then skip it, and don't make snide comments. If you are unable to control yourself, and feel the need to have a jab, then of course I'm going to say something.

And to then close your post with that last line... seriously??? In what universe is putting up photoshop manipulations a bad thing? Does it not help people to visualize their potential (and expensive) purchase?

...and how does having a personal attack at me with the "You're very passive aggressive, aren't you?" not make "This thread is all over the place."

How about taking some of your own advice...

Wow. You seriously need to calm down. You've gone from apologising to attacking again in two posts.

I have found the Photoshopping rather tedious, yes, but I skipped past them for the most part. My first comment was actually regarding you attacking Gipetto for now reason at all, which is why I highlighted it. You obviously can't be reasoned with. The "all over the place" was not talking about Photoshopping either, but the occasional aggression.

:lol

Well my digging at someone post was removed. So lets see what happens to Mandible's aggressive posts :wink1:

i thought aggression like that was not tolerated in the rules??
 
Re: [JNIX] 1/6 ANH Luke custom head sculpt - Taking orders!!

How about we all just let Jinx do a sculpt, paint it and then sell it - like an artist would??????
If you like it, buy it - if you don't like it, pass....

Re: [JNIX] 1/6 ANH Luke custom head sculpt - Taking orders!!

All,

I just want to apologize for derailing the thread. That was not my intent nor was it to cause any offense to anyone doing photoshop manipulations. My comments were meant only as lighthearted replies regarding frustration towards what I feel are excessive photoshop manipulations. I do not expect any of us to accept mediocrity when we are paying what often times is the price of what a full figure goes for these days or even sometimes more than that to obtain the best there is. I work with scale every day and have for for many years now so from my own experience I understand how (in my case) drawing something at 3"=1'-0" will look vastly more detailed and sharper than say the same thing at 1/8"=1'-0"...that is all I was trying to convey with my reply. Incredibly small details that are visible when something is blown up 'X' amount from it's original size will undoubtedly be nearly and visibly gone when scaled back down and looked at with the naked eye at normal viewing.

It's things like this that are reasons why I do not participate as much as I used to when I first joined years ago. Can't say much without it being misinterpreted so I typically prefer to not say anything at all and lurk more often than not. I will not bring this up again and just enjoy the thread for what it is especially when folks start getting their amazing sculpts in hand :wave :1-1:

Re: [JNIX] 1/6 ANH Luke custom head sculpt - Taking orders!!

You're a class act, Gipetto. I hope concern over being misinterpreted won't curtail your contributions here, because your voice is a valued one here in the forums.

I've learned over these years of being a part of this community that if someone is determined to take offense to what you say, it's often true tha no amount of explanation or attempts to restate your message will likely help. All you can do is be content with the knowledge that only you have of what your true intentions are/were. If others choose not to accept that, you have to allow that to be their problem and not let it drag you down.

All we have is text and a few emojis to convey our thoughts attitudes, and feelings, that can be a daunting challenge. Do your best, move on. But please don't retreat!

P.S. Hey! That Jnix Luke sculpt looks GREAT :wink1:
