good review BC

Nice constructive review Mike. This is the most anticapted piece for me so it will be interesting to read your review again with the sculpt infront of me. I do agree the Venom on this one and the Spidey on the Venom are gimmics really so i wouldn't be too concerned about viewing them.

Nice review and I agree with you.

I personally still like this Spidey best:

Thanks for the review mike. 3 stars. Ouch. Thats cool and I appreciate your honest review. I always welcome constructive criticism, thats how I grow as a sculptor. It was my very first foray into the world of super hero sculpting and I agree that there were a few things I could have improved on. My skills have grown alot since Spidey but I am still very proud of it. I had one of thebiggest smiles I've had in a long time yesterday when I opened the first Spidey. It was plastered from ear to ear!

I agree on the fingers. Venom's head is a bit round. I originally had the classic big eyed venom and Randy wanted me to make it look like Venom was in pain from the rubble that fell on him and squint the eyes. I also didnt intend for venom to be viewed unless you turned it around to look. It was just a little something extra I was doing for fun. I originally placed Spidey on the other ledge. Thats where I thought he looked best but he ended up on the other side. Not a big deal though.

For my first statue I am very happy with how it turned out and I hope it is a welcome addition to everyones collection.

Thanks!

Excellent review Mike. Displayability (huh?) is extremely important in a statue. I was disappointed as Juggernaut was voted best FS with it's obvious flaw of Juggernaut looking down forces a high placement in a display to really be able to see the face. Also, the Modern Black Panther had the same issue with the Wakenda Embassy plaque placement. You couldnt see both of the plaques if you place the BPM where you see his face and likewise if you placed the BPM where you could see both plaques his face was almost facing backwards. Accurate representation of a character is one facet of a successful statue but how the statue displays is just as important. Kudos for your review. Keep up the good work.

A very well-written & honest review BC! You covered just about all aspects of this piece. Great job!

I enjoyed reading that review. It was concise, carfully written as to not invoke states of outrage, and provided a very balanced perspective.

Given the history of the piece, I'd say the fact that it was made makes it an immence success for the sculptor.

Nice job!

Love that review but hate that mouse. Get into the modern age BC that stock Apple mouse blows.
