A Fixture
Hello Lou,
So you don't like the right ear of my figure eh? Wait until you see the left one!
Sorry to disappoint you but that's just the way I do ears. Of course, if you know a better way, I'm sure that the membership (and myself) will be delighted and grateful to follow your s-b-s. We're all ears! :lol:
As for the Asian slant that you and your friends have so conveniently 'discovered' about my figures, let's say that it has less to do with the eyes than with the cheek bones (I LIKE high cheek bones). They'd call it a 'style' if you do it often enough.
Somehow you might find it slightly disturbing that the rest of the world does not necessarily think like you (and your friends) do. As a matter of fact, several of our Asian customers think that my Oriental subjects look too much European! Likewise, several modellers at Montrouge last week-end found that the left profile of the Highlander looked like Brad Pitt's. So it would appear that there are as many ways to perceive things as there are viewers.
That makes me conclude that perception has at least as much to do with the viewer's personality than with the perceived object. There's a definite truth to the old saying 'Beauty is in the beholder's eye'.
Likewise, a comment (or post) is so much more revealing of the commentator's true nature than of the object being discussed. One has just to re-read this entire thread to find out whom the sore thumb belongs to.
As of the art/accuracy/authenticity issue, it may be a dead horse to you, but to me, it's my bread and butter. When I'm talking about these topics, I'm only talking about my own work. I never wanted to impose my discipline to anyone, much less judge the work of others.
As a figure-maker, I'm trying to find the right balance between aesthetics and realism. This is what our customers are looking for and this is why they like (and buy) our figures. If your interest lies elsewhere, there are plenty other manufacturers to choose from.
Things are so simple. I don't know where your problem is unless you're trying your usual tactics of posting something outrageous with the hope that the thread would be closed just because you're reading something you don't like.
LET'S BOOGIE!
