Sovereign Studio news/updates 2009

[SovereignStudio]

Got that payment, Morbo. Thanks, bro! As for Mola Ram, I'm building up 3 (of 6 on order) right now. I'm posting a couple pics of additional pieces/slight mods I've done that will be applied to the remaining orders. He's going to now include:

right hand w/bloody heart
right relaxed hand
left relaxed hand
dagger
skull chalice
all 3 Sankara stones.
(there were five stones in the beginning, but you're only getting the three I could find )

I tweaked the head sculpt to look a bit more sinister. I initially wanted to capture his wide-eyed, sinister grin (shown in last pic) But I think just plain sinister translates better.
I'm also going back to using cotton for the outfit. I can control; add fiolds and permanent wrinkles. I thought I would be slick and use blanket binding to save time, as I found some nice stuff in the right width. But I outsmarted myself, it didn't work too well.

And I think I've got the Maximus head worked out. Thinned the nose, adjusted his lips and brought his eyes further forward.

outstanding work Shawn, that bloody heart hand is brilliant.

It should have gone out, let me look into it. No worries, It's not lost. My wife has been doing my shipping between her business appointments, so it's been spotty. It's either recently shipped or she still has it.

Thanks, man! I spent two hours online researching human hearts to sculpt that thing Sculpted it right into a Dragon bendy hand and cast the whole thing.

Awesome, do you know whose are shipping in the first 3 orders?

I will try to get some... I don't have a suit or body ready for him yet, but I can at least whip something together. But the quality is great... and really surprising how thin the mask is.

Thanks Joseph, no worries. I thought you had the get up. I have everything ready: suit, tie, even newline jumper boots. I just wanted to see Crane all suited up. I'm getting mine (body plus both heads and mask) very soon from Shawn anyway (this week I think) and will post pics in the SC thread.

What specific parts did you buy for him? I'm not too knowledgeable about what his outfit should look like. Any help/advice would be appreciated

Nevermind... just saw your thread in the DC section

Well, it deends on YOUR preference. I chose the "The Bat Man" Moment, which is the last suit he wore before being captured. In that scene, he wore a gray suit, blue tie and white pinstriped shirt. So, I have a grey suit, blue tie and I got Newline leather Jumper Boots to match what he wore when he broke out of Arkham.

But, Dr. Crane wore at least three different suits in BB. And he wore a darker gray shirt in TDK so it's up to you.

Here is a link to Hi Res Stills for both BB and TDK.

Any chance of an update on my scarecrow mask, that you've twice told me has been shipped and now ignore my pms altogether.

Sorry, my PM box has been filling up quick lately. Your head and mask re-shipped last week. It should reach you soon.

Shawn,

Please let me know when I can expect the refund you promised to send me for the order I placed on January 26 2006.

3 years? what's the story behind that?

Yeah Have to look into that one!

 

[Morbo]

Do people ordering from you have unrealistic times for how long it takes to make a figure? I mean you are only one man, not a production line and, you have a family as well and other commitments.
I can see that people get impatient, but if there's one thing about this hobby it's that there is a lot of waiting.
I wonder if any of us realise how many pm's, emails etc that the sculpters, makers get? I have a hard enough time getting through all the spam emails I get when I haven't been online for a day or two.

Hey Shawn-

Just noticed that you said you lost your orders/client list in the computer crash and if it wasn't written down you no longer have it.

Do you still have me down for the pro version of the replacement Indy jacket? Payment was sent - just wanted to check on it - Thanks!

Thanks for the encouragement, Morbo. I needed it.

Sure do! The Indy gear list is the one of the few things that remained intact. I had compiled that in an email I sent to myself. AOL saved it, despite the crash.

Thank you. That would be most appreciated.

Shawn do you still have my mola ram order?
