Please let me explain why what you're doing is wrong, why it looks bad, or worse than it would have if you had done it properly - and please allow me to do so without everyone trying to chew my arse out for not immediately approving of mediocrity. Now, normally I wouldn't have even bothered to comment at all if you were otherwise content with your handiwork and it was destined, exclusively, for your own personal use. However, seeing as intended to sell these for profit please allow me to explain why I personally wouldn't be interested, and for what reason - I at least owe you that much.
To me, your inexperience doesn't exactly bode well for your enterprise. Especially since you your reservations regarding your own abilities and admitted ignorance to the creative processes required to create said product doesn't go to instil your potential customers with confidence. It's like in all things; confidence exudes success and success perpetuates unto excess. Before you can sell a product you must first sell "yourself". With you, in this particular instance, I didn't perceive that minutia of self belief needed for me to personally invest in you, or your vision. Please don't take it too personally. It's merely a statement of fact, and not meant as an insult.

Lol. I dont get where you got the whole you have no confidence in your work from. I've been customizing for a while. My work is usually highly complimented, my first diorama was a great success and that is said by people on multiple forums and on the youtube video. Yes i said ive never casted before and obviously i would have to experiment with it, and no i would not sell anything that looks crappy etc.if the casting doesn't turn out well enough to meet my expectations then it would continue to be made by hand. The reason i asked if people were interested is not because i doubt my ability to make dioramas but because i want to know what fellow collectors want. Hence why frankie said when he made them they didn't sell well. That all being said i was doing this for anyone who was interested in them, after all the positive comments ive received.There is plenty of easier ways to make money and not getting my hands dirty, like buying and re selling these figures. Thanks for your opinion im always open to critiques and reasonings on why you wouldnt want it.

It's strange. I feel like you genuinely believe you might know enough about model making to warrant an attempt, but in reality you still know too little to actually yield the results that you might come to expect or desire. You are unsure of the proper techniques and processes to achieve the aesthetic you intended and it really does show in your work. As you are unsure in yourself, and so - your work is unsure in its design. To me it looks like something a child might produce in trying to replicate that which he has seen with the limited skills and know how he possesses. The result, a naive rendition that fails to adequately emulate the design of the original. Knowledge is power, and knowledge much like power can be dangerous to wield, if not first properly mastered.
Again, to be taken with a grain of salt. This is my impression of your work and is designed to be taken constructively - not as an insult.

I swear the dioramas i've made arent base on anything specific. Second the materials im not used to are rubber and resin to cast and ive said its a learning process.... eveyone has done it. once its mastered then u can sell if you please. 3rd the vast majority disagree with your view on my work. To say a child can produce it is rediculous and i see your lame attempt to diss me but i won't be falling for it. If its so simple i'd like to see your grown self give it a try and then you can come back and talk to me. |
