Vote for Bobby C's and Bobby D's Space

[Vader]

Hey guys,

I just thought I would get a thread going to get support for a space for Bobby Causey and Bob Dullam. Their names have been circulated from the inception of the "professionals" section. And their work speaks volumes for talent and technique in the industry. Here's their website for anyone who doesn't know them (if that's possible)

http://www.dullam-causey.com/

Both Bobs have been posting in various other sectins in the forum. Let's vote to get them their own space!

[AsOneDead]

Definately!

[VinReaper]

Absolutely! The work speaks for itself!

[Trilogy]

Hell yeah!

[Vader]

bump.

[Jack's Username]

Most definitely.

[Vader]

Get these guys voting. I've seen some of Bobby's stuff before. Trust me, you guys want him to have a space here.

[Jerseydevil]

Why is this even being put to a vote? These guys are utterly amazing and set the bar ridiculously high.

Exactly!

[Vader]

For some reason, Bobby C and Bobby D don't have a space.

[speedracer]

i don't even understand why it's taken this long for them to have a thread..simply put they are insane!!!..how can they not have one.

the vote is a hundred percent..didn't expect any less..

both bobs are great..they can do nothing but enhance this section..!!!

[Vader]

Great ! I spoke to a moderator and he said he's looking into it. The more support we can get here, the better.

[cap70]

I don't know why oh why isn't The Bobby's with their own space already. They are the very best out there in what they do. They don't need polls, they don't need to "ask". People should see as a privilege to have such awesome artists showing their work here.
C'mon Drew, give them their space! :thumbs2: :thumbs2:

[cap70]

I want to see Howard Senft with his space too!!
Another awesome artist that deserves his own space here! :thumbs2: :thumbs2:

[Vader]

I agree. Howard S. is deserving as well.

[Vader]

bump.

Hopefully we'll see a dedicated section soon.

Thanks Trilogy. I just don't want interest in this to fade out. These guys should be acknowledged for the "professionals" they are.

[Trilogy]

These guys should be acknowledged for the "professionals" they are.

I unequivocally agree.

I unequivocally agree.

Geeeeez! I think that picture someone posted a while back was right, you must be some English aristocrat or something. :laugh:

[Bob Aboey]

What does having "their own space" mean, both for them and the forum?

[Vader]

It means they will have a section dedicated to their work. It will mean more progress work posted by the sculptor (hopefully), and a location where the sculptor can discuss their work and where forum members can directly ask them questions.

[Bob Aboey]

I was completely oblivious to them prior to today and, after looking at their site, am very impressed with their work.

Only reason I asked is that I'd love to see sections for people like Mark Newman and Edinho Magha as well and was curious if these sections are only doled out on a super-limited basis.

Based on their work, I'd vote yes. Are they Forum regulars?

[Vader]

They are forum members and do post in the sculptors section on and off. There has been support for them having a space for some time. Just not happened yet. I agree Newman deserves a space. I don't know Magha's work.

[Bob Aboey]

Cool! Looking forward to seeing more from them.

Edinho recently did a Rambo statue that was picked up and Sly himself gave the piece a thumbs up.

He's been at it for a while now, and his stuff if very cool. If you get a chance, look up his stuff on here.

Maybe I should start a "Vote For Mark" thread...

Thanks for turning me on to these guys' work! :thumbs2:

[Trilogy]

Geeeeez! I think that picture someone posted a while back was right, you must be some English aristocrat or something. :laugh:

lol :tounge:

[TOM S.]

I LOGGED ON TO STATUEFORUM FOR THE FIRST TIME ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND WAS PRETTY SUPRISED THAT BOBBY C. AND BOB DULLAM DIDN'T HAVE THEIR OWN THREAD. THEIR WORK IS PRETTY INSPIRING - YOU'VE GOT MY VOTE! HOWARD SENFT TOO!

[Vader]

Thanks Tom S. Keep 'em coming!!!!

[Vader]

bump.

[AsOneDead]

Why do you keep bumping it? It's not like the threads been out of action for weeks or something.

[Vader]

There's not enough votes. I just wanted to keep the thread alive to maintain interest. I promise to stop if they get some space. :)

[AsOneDead]

I'm sure everyone here knows they are extremely talented, maybe you need to talk to the mods about getting their own space?

[Trilogy]

Aren't the mods already looking into this?

[Vader]

I'll ask.

[Exar Kun]

I unequivocally agree.

Definately:thumbs2:

[Darth_Ryan]

wow I thought by now they'd have their own space already. Im sure its only a matter of time. Maybe the mods are just busy recently

[Vader]

The mods need to know that there is a real interest in the space for community members. So is up to you guys. So express your interest.

[Trilogy]

wow I thought by now they'd have their own space already.

Ditto.

[bruceb]

..i said before and will do again..these guys really deserves their place here..they are hollywood quality artists... another vote..

[Vader]

I received a response from one of the moderators, and I'm grateful for that. The main reason they have not yet received their own section is that the moderators are not sure that this work is "mainstream" enough to represent the interests of the members. Because members collect primarily Bowen, Sideshow, DC, Gentle Giant, etc., this is the focus of the "professionals" section. If people want the focus to expand, they will need to make that clear.

[AsOneDead]

I think we have made it clear enough, give them their own space!

[Trilogy]

What are we meant to do to prove we would like to see a dedicated section for these artists?
Should we persistently harass the mods by PMing them on a daily basis? :eplus2:

[El Diablo]

GIVE BOB C & D THEIR OWN SPACE!!!!!!!!!!!!

is that clear enough? :)

[Vader]

Maybe pm's to the mods with strong arguments in support of a space for the Bobbys is the way to go. I've sent my pm to Galactus requesting the space.

As I explained, I think the lifesize pieces and custom work is the way this hobby is going. Given the volume of mass produced pieces in the market, many collectors will be turning to the work of artists like Bobby C and Bobb D to get them unique works of art. Not to mention, I'm dying to see progress shots of their work on an ongoing basis. Mike Hill has turned up the heat on the "professionals" section. No doubt these guys would enhance the section significantly.

If anyone has other strong arguments in favour of these artists being represented, they should articulate them, or pm the mods with their position. I think, at this point, the mods are on the fence about it.

[AsOneDead]

I don't see what the problem is. All that has to be done is creating a thread for them, why is that so difficult?

[Vader]

You're asking the wrong guy. I don't really understand it myself. I thought a vote or a thread would demonstrate a genuine member interest. I think the boys (Bobby C and Bobby D) have been posting on the forum for some time now (clearly members of the community). It's a bit like the Academy Awards. Sometimes the ones who truly deserve it just don't get the award.

[Bob D]

Bob C, and I (Bob D.) would like to sincerly thank all of you who posted on our behalf to get a space for us here on this forum. This means a lot to have such support for our work. We would like to have gotten a space so we could show in depth progress shots, and how we make stuff.

current projects:
full size clone trooper statue for sideshow colletables.
1/1 silicone Anakin S. bust for Sideshow collectables.
Motorcycle built for T.V. series Kamen Dragon Knight (airing in 09', commisioned by Steve Wang).
full-size working 95' Batmobile.
full-size working tumbler.

TDK full costume(C. Bale likeness).

[AsOneDead]

That is an amazing line up! Can't wait to see that Tyler Durden bust, TDK Bats costume and my most anticipated, Heath Ledger's Joker bust! :buttrock: Hurry up and give them their own space! I want to see those progress shots!

[Trilogy]

I don't see what the problem is. All that has to be done is creating a thread for them, why is that so difficult?

My neither. I see absolutely no reason why there cannot be a dedicated section for these artists.
They are some of the best in the field, yet the forum admin are undecided? :confused:
If these guys are not illegible to have there own dedicated sections, there really is no justice.

[TOM S.]

THESE GUYS ARE PRODUCING SOME PRETTY INCREDIBLE (PRIMARILY) 1/1 SCALE, MULTI-MEDIA DISPLAYS. I KNOW THE SITE IS CALLED STATUEFORUM (EMPHASIS ON STATUE - WHICH THESE ARE BY ANY DEFINITION OF THE TERM I CAN FIND), BUT IT REALLY SEEMS TO BE MORE OF A SCULPTURE FORUM IN GENERAL! I JUST DON"T SEE A PROBLEM WITH GIVING THESE GUYS THEIR OWN THREAD - ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY'RE PRODUCING WORK IN THE COLLECTIBLE MARKET TO BOOT!

[Vader]

Agreed. I hope these guys get a space. :(

[Trilogy]

We need more forum members to vote.

[Bobby C]

you guys ROCK!!! in the meanwhile I would like to show you a teaser pic of my new life size Chris Reeve statue for a museum show.
he will be in a very subtle landing pose.silicon head human hair etc. maybe a life size Zod depending on the budget.

[Vader]

Fantastic!!!!!!!!

[TOM S.]

LOOKS GREAT!

[Trilogy]

Fantastic work!

[Trilogy]

I've placed a link to this poll in several Bobby C and Bobby D threads.
Hopefully this will increase votes, therefor increasing the chance of a dedicated section for these guys.

[Jerseydevil]

Unbelievable likeness. This is looking great. Where's the museum show going to be, Bobby?

[Vader]

Thanks Trilogy. I also encourage members to send pm's to the moderators expressing their sincere interest in a space for Bobby C and Bobby D. I know Galactus was very receptive to my pm, and I'm sure all the mods would welcome constructive comments on the need for a space for Bobby C and Bobby D to enhance the statueforum community.

[Bob D]

I would like to again chime in with my gratitude for all who have held us in this sort of light. I was in awe when I first saw this as on most forums, they never usually push for something like this on our behalf. Much thanks, If this does actually happen, we will try as best we can to make it worth all the effort put forth here.

[Vader]

Bob,

We are honored to have you and Bobby with us. On behalf of the members, I wish to express our appreciation for the attention you and Bobby C have given the members here.

No need to thank me. Just doing my bit.
Though it does beg the question as to why we need to do this. JUST GIVE THEM THERE SECTION!!

[Trilogy]

Bob,

I concur. We are honoured to have them here sharing their work with us.

[Bob D]

once again much thanks.

Here's a shot I just took. this is the afterburner as I just finished up the first half of it. Still have to build the stuff inside the outer hoop. tons of parts inside that hoop. The outer hoop is brushed aluminum that has to be painted. Most of the front section is done, but still have to stick in the guns.
The afterburner was cast off of a clay sculpture of it. There is a second half that connects to it, and rides between the two rear coil-over shocks.

Indeed and they have still yet to receive their own section.

I think the mods are seriously considering it. We have to keep the voting and the pm's going though. It's the best way to show member support.

[TOM S.]

REALLY AMAZING WORK!!! (BOTH THE BATMOBILE AND DAVID). I'M DEEPLY ENVIOUS OF THE TALENT AND PASSION YOU BRING TO YOUR DISPLAYS!

[reevz666]

I've said it once and I'll say it again, any update from either of you guys is better than Christmas!!!!

I can only DREAM of being at your level someday:buttrock:

[fantasticrour]

Great work! Best yet!

[Mike Hill]

These guys are CLEARLY two of the best in the world.

They get my vote x 1000.

Bob C and I are very good friends, we often help each other out,critique, swap materials and reference, without ever feeling an ounce of competiveness (is that a word?). Thats what makes a true professional.

[Vader]

Mike Hill's endorsement! That's golden.

[stretchbaldy]

Being the proud new recipient of this amazing piece today..................I SAY GIVE IT UP TO BOBBY C AND BOBBY D NOW SUCKA'S!

love the david bust! i wanted to produce a 1/4 scale bust of this...maybe one day!

[Bobby C]

Hi Guys here is another progress hsot of the Reeve, simply the hardest likeness ever!!!! still more to go but I think he is getting close, whats your thoughts?
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g96/bobbyc1225/rr2.jpg

[El Diablo]

only area I think may need work is the cheekbones yours curves out down the side of the face reeves' curves in ( see pic below for reference). Other than that though I think you`ve pretty much nailed it! another awesome job bobby :buttrock: :thumbs2:

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d9/mefoetoes/sman11.jpg

[Vader]

Fantastic job Bobby. Suggestions: Reeves upper lip sometimes looks thinner in the pictures when he's smiling. Also his cheekbones look quite rounded. The sculpt seems slightly more angular.

With the lighting, i'm not even sure my comments are accurate. That being said, its the best likeness of Reeve I've ever seen.

.

[Vader]

the cheekbone suggestion may show more from this comparison. There's a roundish curve to his upper cheek that may be missing. The roundish cheek makes for a slightly fuller face. Again, its hard to tell with the lighting. You are the expert bobby.

[Bobby C]

Great critiques guys, I will adress those issues, I have a hard time seeing with this dark clay, it really throws you off.
I wont stop on this until I feel 100% positive on this sculpt.
funny thing is in person the likness is so strong you can almost hear him saying "I like Pink very much "
:)

[Vader]

It's fantastic!

[Vader]

Thanks to Galactus and the other mods for coming through. Our boys got their section!
